In this episode of the Day One Patch Podcast, the crew breaks down three of the biggest stories in gaming this week.

Matt kicks things off with a Video Game Fun Fact all about the Nintendo DS ML, exploring the handheld’s hardware, history, and collectibility.

Then the team dives into the news:

• Halo: Combat Evolved returns as Halo: Campaign Evolved, a full Unreal Engine 5 remake built for Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PS5 — marking the first time the franchise lands on a PlayStation console.

• Bethesda reveals Fallout 4 Anniversary Edition, launching November 10, 2025 for PC, Xbox, and PlayStation, with a Switch 2 version coming in 2026.

• And finally, the hosts unpack Microsoft’s profit-driven strategy that’s leading to price hikes, project cuts, and studio shutdowns.

Stick around for What We’re Playing, where the crew shares what’s been keeping their controllers warm this week.
