Call of Duty has been the top dog for years when it comes to games sold and money made in the FPS genre and though Battlefield has been a rival franchise for years it’s never really been close...

However, now EA’s CEO seems hopeful that Battlefield could have a fighting chance if Call of Duty becomes Xbox exclusive after Microsoft’s big Activision acquisition. Watch this week’s episode of Roundup to find out why!

In other news; Xbox now lets you play (some) games offline, lead hero designer leaves Overwatch 2, Star Citizen has raised $500 million, and the oldest active MMO is finally getting sound.

In this week’s 5-Second Review Brian contemplates what ti would be like to become royalty and the Coming Soon section heralds in a mouse game, a beer game, a pony game, and Moonbreaker which looks like a sick miniatures-influenced tabletop RPG.

Thanks for watching everyone and have a great weekend!

Saints Row came out this week and it had a rough launch, to say the least. Now some are worried the poor reviews, shallow gameplay, and lack of character could spell the end for the entire franchise.

In other news;  PS5 getting a big price hike, Dead Island 2 was announced, Death Stranding is on Game Pass now, and Netflix is getting into cloud gaming.

This week’s 5-Second Review bucks the trending stuff to talk about the games that really matter and the Coming Soon section has way too many games but also The Last of Us Part 1 is out next week.

Thanks for watching everyone and have a great weekend! 

00:00 - The new Saints Row is a disaster
05:16 - PS5 getting a big price hike
06:09 - Dead Island 2 was announced

Nintendo is in the news once again as more employees have spoken out against the treatment they received working in QA at the Nintendo of America HQ in Washington state.

Gender discrimination, assault, and harassment aren’t usually things you associate with the whimsical worlds and games Nintendo builds. Tune in to this week's roundup to get the rundown on what’s been going on at the house Mario built.

In other news; There will be single-player DLC for GTA 6, The Xbox One sold really badly, Stadia is still not dead, and We could have had an open-world Iron Man game.

This week's 5-Second Review isn’t too cool to reference being a kid in the 80s and the Coming Soon section will surprise you because Saints Row is out next week.

Thanks for watching everyone and have a great weekend!
