Let's Talk Plus Weekly Giveaway: https://linktr.ee/mysticryan

This week we had a lot of drama going on surrounding the profitability of Xbox Game Pass after a few developers shared the opinion that they prefer Sony's PS Plus model. So we get into all of that nonsense but also we saw a European Lobbyist group (that Sony is a part of) is openly opposing the 'Stop Killing Games' initiative. Which shouldn't be all too surprising.. BUT elsewhere through the week we also have my Death Stranding 2 impressions, the Ghost of Yotei State of Play gameplay deep dive, new Astro Bot levels, TLOU Part II's Chronological update, and the July PS Plus Extra & Premium lineup! There's some more stories too. But I'mma leave you on this cliffhanger. Tune in to the video above for the rest of this description.
