Episode 669: Quick Pre-PAX Show

Jonah’s heading off to cover PAX Unplugged on Thursday morning, so this week’s podcast has been a quick, sub-40 minute show, even with a Gaming Flashback of Infamous 2, a game that former co-host Jordan Lund is probably far more familiar with.

This week’s news includes:

  • Report suggests Microsoft soon to offer concessions in Activision deal
  • Two Point Campus goes boldly into space for brand new expansion
  • Pokemon Scarlet & Violet sells 10 million units in three days
  • Monster Hunter Rise reportedly heading to PlayStation and Xbox in January
