The same dynamic trio as last episode, Dony, Luke and Ben get through another light news week, not before though, Ben gives his thoughts on the Portal six months in. Xbox games are showing success on PlayStation across the board, but should PlayStation be concerned by this? Embracer splits into three companies, Luke gives his legal expertise on this matter, could there be light at the end of the tunnel for them? Housemarque has teased some Returnal content, though that seems to have fallen flat in what could merely be a comic series, it doesn't stop the boys waxing lyrical about the incredible game that is, Returnal. Lastly, Stellar Blade is out, all three played over the weekend and they give their early impressions on the game. It would also be remiss not to discuss the latest gaming discourse which comes in the way of apparent censorship of a certain bunny outfit in the game.

Joining Dony this episode is Luke Steele, and dragging him back to the world of Podcasting, the Podcaster formally known as Grumpy Gamer Ben. The show starts off putting the toxic gaming world to rights with some of the negativity around "ugly" protagonists in the way Star Wars: Outlaws which is the latest game being given the "anti-woke" treatment. Game UK appears to be in trouble and with that so is physical game sales. Helldivers 2 sales continue to shine, although the boys argue with Ben over Spider-Man 2 selling 10m copies "only". Vampire Survivors along with a Contra DLC will be coming to PlayStation finally, and we have another juicy month of monthly additions to PS Plus to look over including Dave The Diver, which Dony gives his early impressions of at the end of the episode.
