TSR: Gaming & Entertainment

In this episode, we’re unpacking a whirlwind of gaming news that’s got the industry buzzing. Kicking things off, reports are swirling that Microsoft’s got big plans for Xbox: a full next-gen console is reportedly slated for 2027, promising a major leap forward, while an Xbox-branded gaming handheld could hit shelves as early as later this year—2025 is shaping up to be a wild ride for Team Green. Meanwhile, indie darling Split Fiction is making waves, smashing a major sales milestone in just 48 hours, proving there’s serious appetite for fresh titles. Over at Sony, they’re dabbling in AI-powered PlayStation characters and, in a twist of irony, picked Horizon’s Aloy as their guinea pig—smart move or uncanny valley vibes? We’ll dig into that. The headlines keep coming with Moon Studios, the creative force behind the beloved Ori series, announcing they’re now fully independent. They’ve wrested publishing rights for their latest dark fantasy epic, No Rest for the Wicked, from Take-Two Interactive—yep, the Grand Theft Auto and Borderlands giant—marking a bold new chapter for the studio. On the leak front, early Battlefield 6 footage has apparently surfaced online, and it’s looking like a win for EA, with fans already hyped for what’s next. We’ll also share our raw impressions of the Death Stranding 2 trailer—Kojima’s back, and it’s as weird and wonderful as ever. Wrapping things up, we’re throwing out a wishlist item: Uncharted 2 multiplayer—can we make this happen again, please? And finally, a quick pulse check: are we still doing the console war thing, or have we all just agreed to play nice now? From next-gen dreams to AI experiments and indie triumphs, this episode’s got it all—tune in for our full takes on where gaming’s headed next! 🔥 Stay Connected & Support the Show! 🔥 🌐 Everything in One Place → 💬 Join the Community → Chat with us on Discord at 🎙️ Start Your Podcast!

In this episode, we dive into some exciting gaming and tech highlights making waves this week. First up, we share our hands-on impressions of Logitech G’s Powerplay 2, breaking down how it’s enhancing the gaming experience with its innovative design. Meanwhile, Nintendo’s touting a major legal win against piracy, labeling it a “significant” victory that reverberates across the entire games industry. On the platform front, Steam continues its dominance, shattering records by topping 40 million concurrent players for the first time—an impressive milestone for the PC gaming giant. The news keeps rolling with some intriguing reveals for fans of niche and blockbuster titles alike. A game based on the cult anime Samurai Pizza Cats is officially in development, promising a nostalgic treat for longtime fans. Grand Theft Auto 5 is finally catching up on PC with its long-awaited next-gen upgrades, bringing enhanced visuals and performance to the open-world classic. Over at PlayStation, a new Beta Program is inviting players to test upcoming games and features, while in France, the Apex Legends voice cast is taking a stand, refusing contracts over an “unacceptable” AI clause that would allow their voices to train AI systems—a bold move sparking industry debate. Looking ahead, there’s plenty to anticipate in the coming months. A new 2D game inspired by Terminator 2 is set to launch in September, blending retro vibes with cinematic action. Nacon Connect’s digital showcase on March 6th is teasing “secret projects” that have us curious, and Twitch’s CEO dropped hints about 2025, spotlighting collaboration, a mobile push, and expanded monetization for streamers. Wrapping things up, Call of Duty fans will need a bit more patience—Verdansk’s return has been pushed to next month with a season delay.
