Fred is now 54 hours deep into Octopath Traveler II and also took the time to check out the Until Dawn movie adaptation. Jake's been messing with Rochard on the Steam Deck, though he's run into a glitch, and has started exploring the world of emulators on the handheld.

No listener feedback this week, but there’s plenty of news to cover. Grand Theft Auto VI has been officially pushed to May 2026—coincidentally landing right on Fred's birthday. In a surprise announcement, Gears of War: Reloaded, a remaster of the original, is coming to PS5 this August for $39.99. Oblivion Remaster is already the third best-selling game of 2025 after just one week, and Clair Obscur continues to dominate attention in the indie scene.

PS Plus Essential titles for May include Balatro, Ark: Survival Ascended, and Warhammer 40k: Boltgun. A State of Play stealth-dropped focusing on Borderlands 4, though Fred wasn’t impressed by the overhyped music in the intro. Lastly, Supermassive’s Blade Runner game has been officially canceled.
