    Overwatch Reign of Talon Season 4 - Heroes of Busan Impressions

    Blizzard launched Overwatch Season 4 called Heroes of Busan. It features D.Mon, who is part of a squad of mecha users similar to D.Va, who’s been a staple since Overwatch began 10 years ago. The biggest changes improve Overwatch, but are clearly prioritizing monetization, and D.Mon didn’t launch well. Get full access to Replay Value at www.replayvalue.net/subscribe

    How is PlayStation's Wolverine handling replay value?

    IGN reported on Marvel’s Wolverine for PlayStation 5, and something Insomniac Games mentioned was how they’re handling replay value for the game. I think they’re going about it the right way, though the methods could still use an update.

    Xbox CEO should avoid commenting on The Elder Scrolls 6 or any game

    Asha Sharma, Xbox CEO, visited Bethesda Studios to look at The Elder Scrolls 6, and she made comments about what she saw. I don’t think Asha should making comments on specific video games. What do you think?

    Gears of War E-Day could actually use AI, Borderlands 4 isn't meant to last forever

    Strauss Zelnick, the CEO of 2K, was asked about the future of Borderlands 4, and he says it’s not going anywhere. I discuss the angst around why it would be a problem if BL4 were to go anywhere. Gears of War E-Day’s open beta is happening and there’s a Tweet going around with a pro players’ moves. It brings up a problem with competitive games, but I think it might be one area where AI could actually be helpful. Leave a voice message with your thoughts, and I’ll feature the best ones in the next episode: https://www.speakpipe.com/replayvalue Sources ‘We’re Totally Supporting It’ — Take-Two Boss Says Borderlands 4 Performance ‘Has Not Affected Our Plans at All’ as Fans Await Year 2 Roadmap It's 2026 and People Are Arguing Over Sweaty Gears of War Movement Again Get full access to Replay Value at www.replayvalue.net/subscribe

    Blizzard is Xbox's golden goose

    Blizzard president, Johanna Faries, mentioned in a company email that leaked that Blizzard is the top-performing company at Xbox. I don’t think it’s a surprise, and other live-services should follow Blizzard instead of Fortnite and Epic. Blizzard is now the "top performing" Xbox studio, says internal emails — as the Overwatch-maker ends FY26 over-delivering on Microsoft's projections Get full access to Replay Value at www.replayvalue.net/subscribe

    Did Capcom confirm physical game discs ending?

    Capcom told investors that they wouldn't be impacted much by the death of physical games. It's an unfortunate truth, but that's I think it's important to fight for a digital future that includes ownership.

    What's next after the EA acquisition?

    EA is officially owned by the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund, private equity company Silver Lake, and Affinity Partners, run by Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner. Now what's going to happen to EA? I think EA will become irrelevant. What do you think will happen with EA?

    Could Xbox's disc-to-digital program be the future of a digital secondhand market?

    Rumors are swirling about Xbox's disc-to-digital future. The specifics are up in the air, but Xbox is certainly doing something. I think it could pave the way for a digital secondhand market. Do you think a digital secondhand market is possible?

    Will Asha Sharma reach 500 million Xbox active users by 2030?

    In a memo to shareholders, Asha Sharma subtly laid out her strategy to reach 1 billion daily active users on Xbox and 500 million by 2030. I think it's crazy, but could actually be possible.

    Would Destiny 3 have saved Bungie?

    I suppose you could consider this a proper podcast. I ask three questions today: 1. Would Destiny 3 have saved Bungie? 2. What is Asha Sharma's plans again? 3. Are Steam's AI disclosures irresponsible? You can read the stories related to each topic below.

    Should Microsoft spin off Xbox?

    It's reported that Microsoft may spin off Xbox. Should they? Also, a lot of layoffs are happening and potentially will happen. I wrote a story where I talked with developers about if there is a light at the end of the tunnel. They had a lot of interesting things to say. I learned a lot, and I think it would be good to read.
