Apologies for the one-day delay, but Sean and Marc are here to discuss what's going on in the world of video games this week. PlayStation had one of their two major releases drop in Housemarque's Saros, and Sean's been playing it, and he has some thoughts. What does Sean think of the game, even though he didn't play their other title, Returnal? Should gamers who aren't fans of Roguelikes try it out? Is it a Game of the Year contender? Also, Sean has thoughts on some other games he's been playing this week, too, such as the newly released indies Motorslice, Wax Heads, and Dead as Disco, along with a game that released last week in Soul Quest as well. Marc played a lot of Diablo IV: Lord of Hatred Expansion and checked out Forbidden Solitaire. Plus, Asha Sharma does away with Copilot, Gamestop wants to buy Ebay, Sony gives an answer on the DRM check-in, and it's good news, there's an Atomfall TV Series in development, Forza Horizon 6 has gone gold, and more!

What a difference a week makes, after all the rumors, speculation, and talk, the price of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass has dropped to $22.99 and $13.99, respectively, and Xbox CEO (yes, the team is also called Xbox again!) Asha Sharma dropped a major manifesto that details what Xbox wants to do going forward. Could exclusives truly make a return? Xbox Series S & Xbox Series X will keep getting updates, but could they also get price drops? What's going to happen with the PC and Mobile strategy? Should developers be excited about the future?
