Episode 257
PlayStation has announced that they are abandoning their PC initiative for their single player games. Though it seemed in recent years that exclusives were a thing of the past as games were increasingly available on PC and competing consoles, present circumstances have spurred a return to the exclusivity ways of old. Today, we talk about why this shift is occurring, and what that means for PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo, and PC going forward. As always, we conclude with the games we're playing (Fall Guys, Directive 8020). This episode was recorded in May 2026. Intro and outro music composed for Gametalk by Dylan Chase.
