Controllers and Coffee

This week we get stuck into the situation at Activision Blizzard and the issues rampant in the gaming industry. Kat and I have both been playing Last Stop from Annapurna Interactive and available now on Game Pass, and Elliot has been playing the Sea of Thieves Pirates of the Caribbean expansion A Pirate's Life. And Playground Games have shown us some more screenshots of the gorgeous Forza Horizon 5, and it is incredible.

This week we discuss the very exciting announcement of the Steam Deck from Valve! This little PC looks set to be a huge success, but who is it actually for? Who will be buying the Steam Deck when it releases later this year? Let's answer that question and much more tonight on the show.

Straight after last week's show Nintendo announced the brand new (yet totally uninspiring Nintendo Switch OLED Edition), and Playstation brought us another State of Play, this time focusing on some new gameplay for Deathloop, as well as some third party upcoming games. And Kat has been playing the full release of Monster Hunter Stories 2 - and absolutely loving it.

What an absolutely huge couple of days for video games. Xbox and Bethesda brought the fire and showed 30 games off, 27 of which are coming DAY ONE to Xbox Game Pass. Square Enix and Ubisoft had showcases as well, and Devolver Digital does what Devolver Digital Does Best (as always).   

We're continuing our massive week of E3 2021 and Summer Game Fest coverage with our very good friend Deft_Puppiez from Two Left Thumbs Podcast and running through all of our favourite things from the weekend of E3 2021 that has just passed.
