Ep. 59 - GTA 6 delayed? What Rockstar doesn’t want you to know!

Cleo joins me for a lot of exciting queer game news and a heaping pile of drama!

On the news side: Zorkie Studios, the developer duo behind Quality Dreams, Reasonably Priced, has a brand new game announcement, Sonic Racing CrossWorlds and Warframe have Nintendo Switch 2 updates, Pokémon Legends Z-A’s DLC is dropping very soon, and some weird and maybe disappointing updates on Mass Effect 5 and Fallout New Vegas 2.

On the drama side: tons of layoffs, and a massive update on GTA 6 that is meant to distract us all from Rockstar’s alleged attempt at union busting.
