&nbsp;We're in November, and thus getting exceptionally close to the release of Grand Theft Auto VI, the first new GTA game in more than 13 years. Its launch couldn't be better-timed with the continued rise of PlayStation 5, which has now sold some 98 million units, and will easily reach and surpass 100 million sold by Christmas. Indeed, Sony's Q2 '26 financials are extremely strong, illustrating an entertainment-focused company making hand-over-fist money, just not necessarily from the hardcore. Nevertheless, this fall is the last chance PS5 will get to solidify itself before the intrafamily competition begins with PlayStation 6 in the months to come. How will it all shake out? We discuss. Plus: God of War Laufey gets delayed by three months, Until Dawn 2 is sneaking into the Alamo Drafthouse this December, Bend's next game is apparently a third-person co-op title that may or may not be Syphon Filter, Persona 1 Remake footage leaks, the China Hero Project continues unabated, and more. Then: Listener inquiries! PlayStation 5's SSD was supposed to help file sizes become smaller, so why are they bloating so severely? Which games might we peruse during our long Christmas break at year's end? How important is it to beat the games we play? Why is Defining Duke suddenly becoming so much longer than Sacred Symbols, and are we embarrassed?
