About this episode
The console wars just got a whole lot weirder. This week on Off the Console, we’re breaking down Microsoft’s Xbox Project Helix — a next-gen console that plays PC games too — and asking whether Xbox is even a console company anymore. Meanwhile, Sony is reportedly pulling major titles back off PC (yes, even Wolverine), and Nintendo just sued the US government over tariffs. It’s a lot.
We also dig into Resident Evil 9’s surprisingly great 9.5/10 debut, Road to Vostok proving Godot can go mainstream, and the shocking news that Apple dropped a $599 MacBook that might actually be a good deal. Plus: dynamic pricing is quietly coming to game stores, Highguard is circling the drain, and customs agents destroyed one of only 50 copies of an ultra-rare visual novel demo. Oh, and OS-level age verification bills are moving through multiple states — and we have thoughts.
