Is Silksong the GTA VI of Indies? Plus, the PC Handheld Problem | Ep 44
This week on Off The Console, we’re diving deep into some of the biggest news in gaming and tech! The internet is buzzing with rumors about a brand new PlayStation 6 Portable that could be a serious competitor to the Nintendo Switch. But is Sony’s rumored handheld a Switch killer, or just a pipe dream?
We’re also talking about the “Silksong Effect” and how the surprise release date for the long-awaited indie game has caused other developers to delay their own titles to avoid direct competition. Plus, in a shocking turn of events, we discuss why so many developers at Gamescom 2025 were unable to get their hands on a Switch 2 dev kit. Did Nintendo actively discourage them? Find out!
