Episode 263

Sony has announced that starting in 2028, they will no longer print discs. With Microsoft's Project Helix already confirmed to be discless, this statement effectively declares the end of physical, disc-based games. Today, we analyze this wildly unpopular decisions and the potential negative ramifications of an all-digital console future. As always, we conclude with the games we're playing (Meccha Chameleon, Fall Guys). This episode was recorded in July 2026. Intro and outro music composed for Gametalk by Dylan Chase.
