Episode 619: Streamboxing

Another short episode, because really, summer game news is typically slow. A lot of interesting stuff this week, however.

  • Alleged Xbox ‘Stream Box’ prototype appears online
  • Horizon Forbidden West reportedly delayed into 2022
  • Sony’s instructions to install PS5 SSD released

All this and Listener Feedback.
