This week was a doozy with the massive news about Xbox studio closures including Tango Gameworks and Arkane Austin. Andrea and Riana dive into this tough topic before moving to headlines featuring Helldivers 2 PSN Linking drama, Nintendo finally acknowledging Switch 2, and projections that might see the Switch become Nintendo's best selling console of all time. In hands-on Riana is IN LOVE with Hades II and according to the Steam charts so are A LOT of other people. Andrea dipped her toes into the handcrafted Claymation world of Harold Halibut.
