On April 3rd, stock for the $449.99 console vanished in just 30 minutes across major retailers, followed by a deep-dive showcase on April 9th that highlighted the upcoming launch lineup. The duo also celebrates the long-awaited announcement of Hollow Knight: Silksong’s release date, now officially set for June 3rd, 2026. However, the news isn't all celebratory; Activision Blizzard faced a second round of layoffs on April 7th, cutting 500 positions across Infinity Ward and Treyarch as part of Microsoft’s post-merger optimization. We also discuss the reported delay of Grand Theft Auto VI to 2027 and FromSoftware’s foray into multiplayer roguelikes with Elden Ring Nightreign. Finally, we look at the hardware refresh for the Steam Deck OLED and Xbox Game Pass reaching a milestone 50 million subscribers.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/mkCnMvKg2YZJk2kZMcI1a1R5MdeCfMFSDLiEp95sLBs/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS84ZmVm/ZGJhOGNlMGI4ZDQ3/NGFlYzg3ZTk5NDVm/MDg5Zi5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
