Summary

This week, we dive into SAROS , Housemarque’s new PS5 action game that blends bullet hell chaos, third-person combat, roguelite progression, and a haunting sci-fi mystery on the planet Carcosa. Then, we break down Xbox’s possible shift on exclusives as new CEO Asha Sharma weighs the future of Microsoft’s multiplatform strategy. Finally, Valve responds to the sold-out Steam Controller launch with a new reservation system aimed at stopping scalpers and giving real players a fairer shot.
