On this week’s PlayersToo Podcast:
- Xbox reacts to PlayStation’s complaints about Call of Duty going exclusive
- At the same time, Xbox reveal Sony pay companies not to appear on Game Pass
- Square Enix are considering selling stakes in their remaining studios
- Marvel’s Midnight Suns and Hogwarts Legacy join a recent raft of game delays
As always we start the show with what we’ve been playing, and shout out to other stories including reviews for Spider-Man on PC and Cult of the Lamb, a new Middle-Earth game from Weta Workshop, and Forspoken’s terrible new trailer. We finish the show with a look ahead to next week’s Gamescom Opening Night Live showcase - what games do we expect to see and what are our expectations for the event?
Our PlayAlong games for August are The Enigma Machine and The Floor is Jelly, two wildly different indies from Itch’s recent Bundle for Abortion Funds. Play as we do and join us on the first show of September to hear what we think.
