Jack and Anthony follow up with each other's impressions with Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown and Momodora: Moonlit Farewell. Their assessments are similar but how they got there is very different.

Layoffs continue to deplete the games industry. The crew discusses the implications of the layoffs, what it means for AAA games and games as a whole, and what the future could look like with all the changes happening within video games. There are some highpoints. Toys for Bob will continue on; Saber Interactive got out from Embracer Group; Gearbox could also leave Embracer very soon.

We can't stop talking about Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, and since David reviewed it, we talk about it some more. Xbox officially launched four games to the PlayStation 5 and the fellas are interested in what happens next. The Nintendo Switch 2 has been delayed already, despite the fact that it's still a rumor. David blows everyone's mind with a discovery called the Smart Water Bottle.

Phil Spencer talked on the Official Xbox Podcast about the future and Anthony, David, and Jack are divided about what was said. Did Phil answer everyone's questions?
