This Week on the Show: We dive into the controversy surrounding the $60 price tag for *Until Dawn* on PS5, sparking a fresh debate on the cost of remakes. We also explore how *The Sims* players are being drawn to the ultra-realistic character creator demo from new competitor *Inzoi*. With new Xbox Series X and S models up for preorder, we discuss what’s new and whether they’re worth the upgrade. We also tackle Xbox's recent confirmation that Core and Standard Game Pass tiers could wait up to 12 months for first-party titles. Plus, Xbox boss Phil Spencer admits that Xbox needs revenue from PlayStation, and we discuss what that means for the industry. Finally, we celebrate the milestone of *Sea of Thieves* surpassing 1 million sales on PS5, and Spencer's comments on the *Indiana Jones* PS5 launch, reminding us that "Xbox is a business."
