## Resource

This episode covers Sony reportedly testing a PS5 feature that shows public player activity through top games and trending charts, giving console players a more Steam-like look at what people are actually playing, before moving into Bungie’s Marathon roadmap, where Season 2 is set to add PvE-focused modes, improved matchmaking, progression updates, more vault space, and broader plans for future seasons. We also cover the new Fortnite x Overwatch crossover, which brings Tracer, Genji, D.Va, and Mercy into Fortnite alongside Overwatch-inspired locations, hero weapons, cosmetics, and themed gameplay additions.
