Episode 179

We are healthily past the halfway mark of the current console generation, and recent rumors suggest next generation will see the debut of a portable PlayStation 6 and Xbox. With Nintendo blazing the trail for the triumphant return of the handheld and the Steam Deck proving that there is a healthy market for PC-quality games on the go, how will Sony and Microsoft's (rumored) next gen efforts affect the portable gaming landscape? As always, we conclude with the games we are playing (Satisfactory, The Plucky Squire, UFO 50, Gate To Sovngarde). This episode was recorded in September 2024. Royalty free music from BenSound.
