Newscast: Nintendo has announced new hardware, but it's not Switch 2

Oct 14 2024 29 mins

This week on the Eurogamer Newscast, we discuss Nintendo's big new hardware announcement - and no, it's not Switch 2. Despite months of frenzied rumour that Nintendo was ready to reveal its next-generation Switch, the company instead revealed... Alarmo, a new interactive alarm clock. It costs £90/$100, and is currently only available to Nintendo Switch Online subscribers. Alarmo l

Newscast: When it costs £700, who exactly is the PS5 Pro for?

Sep 11 2024 39 mins

Yesterday Sony finally announced the long-rumoured PS5 Pro in a technical presentation hosted by Mark Cerny. The console is a more advanced version of the PlayStation 5 that boosts its graphics capabilities, and even improves backwards compatibility with some PS4 games. Yet the biggest catch of all is its £700 price tag. What's more, with this being a digital-only console, the £

Newscast: PlayStation's Astro Bot success and PS5 Pro tease can't distract from Concord's failure

Sep 06 2024 20 mins

This week on the Eurogamer Newscast, we discuss the most dramatic few days for PlayStation in recent times. Sony's stunning decision to kill off live-service shooter flop Concord after less than two weeks sent shockwaves around the industry, setting a new precedent for how swiftly a troubled title from a major publisher could be given the axe. After eight years of work, the game ha

Eurogamer 25th anniversary special: The former editors return

Sep 04 2024 95 mins

How long have you been a Eurogamer reader for? Let me put that another way: how many different Eurogamer editors do you remember? The site has been around for a long time now - 25 years this week - so there have been a few different sets of hands at the tiller. I ask because, well, I've gathered those editors together again for a very special anniversary podcast, which you can list

From the archive: Behind Eurogamer's strapline pun tradition

Sep 02 2024 44 mins

Originally recorded for Eurogamer's 20th anniversary, five years ago, this podcast explores where the site's obsession with puns comes from. The podcast is hosted by Matt Reynolds and features Emma Kent, Wesley Yin-Poole and Christian Donlan - all of whom have since gone on to work elsewhere or as freelance. We'll be sporadically posting more podcasts from the archive as time goe

Newscast: PlayStation live-service Concord won't sell you a battle pass - but would it be more successful if it did?

Jul 26 2024 31 mins

This week on the Eurogamer Newscast, we discuss the downsides and upsides of the video game battle pass. In a week where PlayStation live-service hopeful Concord trumpeted the fact it won't sell you a battle pass as a marketing beat, and Apex Legends dialled back (some of) its battle pass changes following fan fury, we consider the options available to video game makers hoping to e

Newscast: Does the loss of day one launches make Xbox Game Pass pointless?

Jul 11 2024 27 mins

This week on the Eurogamer Newscast, we discuss Microsoft's big changes to Xbox Game Pass. Xbox Game Pass for console is gone, unless you subscribe already. In its place: Xbox Game Pass Standard, which will no longer include new day one games from Microsoft, Activision, Blizzard and Bethesda. Oh, and everything's going up in price. Do these changes mark the end of Game Pass being a

Newscast: With the death of Keystone, will Xbox give up its streaming console plans forever?

Jun 27 2024 26 mins

This week on the Eurogamer Newscast, we discuss the cancelled Xbox project Keystone: Microsoft's plans to launch a relatively cheap streaming console. Keystone popped up yesterday in an old patent which detailed the prospective hardware in fresh detail, though we have of course seen it in the wild before - on Xbox boss Phil Spencer's shelf. Spencer has addressed Keystone's cancella

Newscast: For Xbox, could this year finally be the one where it all pays off?

Jun 10 2024 39 mins

This week on the Eurogamer Newscast, we discuss everything shown at the Xbox Showcase last night: one of the best summer preview events in recent years, and one of Microsoft's best ever. On the one hand, perhaps the trove of upcoming titles should be expected. After all, this is what you should get when you spend nearly $100bn buying up swathes of the games industry. On the other,

Newscast: PlayStation upsets VR fans as it kicks off this year's not-E3 hype cycle

May 31 2024 37 mins

This week on the Eurogamer Newscast, we look back on the start of this year's June hype cycle, the period formerly known as E3, and now a potpourri of other events and announcement livestreams. PlayStation got the ball rolling last night with a look ahead at its rather meagre first-party plans for the remainder of 2024: a moderately buffed-up port of Until Dawn, online shooter Conc
