PlayStation 4 Support Ending, Helldivers team up with Halo, Red Dead Redemption 2 hitting 77 million copies sold, who the female cover athlete of NBA 2k 26 should be and much more.
Description
Gaming is approaching a tipping point with PlayStation 4 support ending in 2026 and game prices climbing to unprecedented levels. We dive into industry shifts and question whether $80 games will become the new normal.
• PlayStation 4 support winding down with major developers dropping the 12-year-old console by early 2026
• Beat Saber and Genshin Impact outlining multi-phase withdrawal plans
• Helldivers 2 arriving on Xbox Series X on August 26th with exclusive Halo-themed content
• Red Dead Redemption 2 hitting 77 million copies sold, ranking 7th all-time
• Gaming prices potentially reaching unsustainable levels with $80 games and console price hikes
• The case for more reasonably priced AA games instead of bloated AAA experiences
• Ideal game length debate with 20-30 hours feeling "sweet" for adventure games
Check out the games we discussed and consider whether the industry is heading toward another crash or if these price increases are justified.
