Join Sikamikanico and Shpeshal Ed as we discuss the next-gen consoles now they’re finally in our homes, launch games or the lack thereof, controllers, features and those early launch problems like database issues and vaping via your Xbox.
We also dive into some rumours and Ed finally dares to mention Elden Ring once again. We also spend a lot of time on Community Questions from across the forums, Discord and Twitter.
Jump in.
