WHAT THE REBELS ARE PLAYING

Amanda –

Still Warzone and Fallout. It’s like I get stuck on a game for a while LOL I don’t know what it is. I did some BR duos on WZ yesterday and I’ve still been working on my base. It’s fun but I’ve been really busy with work, so I’m not getting to play for long.

Stacy – Stacy is playing Act One and has dedicated about 30 hours to it so far. Which is even longer than it took him to play The Last of Us 2.

GAMING NEWS

The metro reported that 85% of UK gamers actually prefer the PS5 over the Xbox Series X in a new survey. Cyberpunk 2077 was also crowned the most anticipated game.

GTA 5 voice actors have teased the return of Michael and Franklin in new Instagram videos. It’s not overt that they’re going to be in the new content for GTA Online, but they do say they want to be involved and that was enough to get the rumour mill running.

Sex workers are flocking to Animal Crossing and Second Life as lockdown drags on worldwide. And yes, real money is changing hand for in-game activities and chores.

Xbox Game Showcase

While you should listen to the episode for the full details, we discuss the framerate of the new Halo Infinite, titles we’re keen for like the Outer Worlds and Fable 4, and overall Gamepass domination with release titles on the platform for day one.
