This weeks episode is very special for us, as we finally reach our episode 100 milestone. with this small achievement (or bronze trophy) we are excited to release our brand new podcast cover logo, and a brand new intro. That's not all of course, because the arms race is just beginning in the acquisition war, which means only one thing, Sony has announced it will pay $3.6 billion for Bungie in a surprising move, that seems to benefit few more than Bungie Itself. Rockstar reveals that development on GTA6 is "well underway". Grand Turismo 7 got its very own state of play, and it looks like racing sim fans will get everything they could hope for in this latest entry into the long running franchise. Also Ghost Wire Tokyo got its very first gameplay reveal, and Steve is still convinced the game was once a VR game. Looks like we got another packed show this week ,so lets just get into it!
