First, we kick things off with a discussion about the most recent gaming news (including what's going on at Activision Blizzard), then we give our honest reviews on the PS5 and Xbox Series X and S consoles.

The Best and most insightful game podcast available

A fantastic show unified by the brilliant Mike Fahey. By far the most original, unique and thoughtful gaming podcast currently available. Nathan and Ash will be missed, both were fantastic contributors. Alas, new co-hosts Ethan and Lisa seem equally brilliant.

Keep up the fantastic work Kotaku Splitscreen, it’s a delight and honour to listen.

Currently listening out in the countryside of North Lincolnshire, UK, you’re great companions.

Kind regards

This podcast used to be great, and I continued listening with an open mind after the change in hosts. But unfortunately not really taken with the new version.

Maybe not everything needs to be discussed with a veneer of sarcasm, cynicism and/or attempts to sound cool or funny? It all just feels a bit too self-conscious. That said, Ash is fine, and I enjoy a bit off beat discussion and humour as much as anyone, but I rarely come away from the podcast feeling that I’ve learnt much about how the hosts genuine feel and think about the games and topics they discuss.
