Play To Win

On episode 69 (nice) of the Play To Win Podcast, we're digging into some new details that have been revealed about Grand Theft Auto VI, including its female protagonist and long-awaited return to Vice City. We also dig into the shocking news that Meta is raising the price of the Quest 2, and the even more shocking news that the Knights of the Republic remake has been indefinitely delayed. Once the news is all done, Keiran gives his early impressions of the Halo show, and Tyler shares his thoughts on the adorable cat game Stray, the new crossover platform fighter MultiVersus, and more!
