Best State Of Play Ever? We Think So! - The Home of Play Podcast ep.117

Happy Monday!

 

Finally a slower week for gaming news. This slight pause in news articles, means we can take our time and discuss Sony's latest and possibly greatest State of Play ever. Capcom and Square Enix came through for Sony to make sure June's State of Play would be one to remember.  Of course that's not the only thing that happened this week. We also learned PSVR2 might be launching early next year, Prince of Persia will be delayed again, and the Insomniac Spider-Man franchise has sold a combined 33 million units. All that and a lot more, so lets just get into it!
