It's a new dawn for the App Store, and for the PG Podcast. James is joined once again by Matt, and for the first time by PG's new deputy editor Dann Sullivan. Together, they break down the big mobile GDC revelations, including Apple Arcade, Google Stadia, and two potential revisions of the Nintendo Switch. They also cover new releases including Rush Rally 3 and Holy Potatoes! A Spy Story?! Oh, and The Elder Scrolls: Blades is sort of out. A bit.

It's a momentous week for the show as we are forced to bid farewell to PG editor and podcast co-host Ric.

We welcome a new contender onto the show this week, in the form of PG Biz writer Matthew Forde. In addition to getting to know Matt, there's talk about the arrival of PS4 Remote Play, and whether Red Dead Redemption 2 is really worth playing with virtual buttons on your iPhone. Also, James and Matt check out the new Labo VR news, and the two flagship handsets leading the foldable phone charge. Plus, reviews of Frag Pro Shooter, Scorcher, and more.
