Filthy Casuals with Tommy Dassalo and Ben Vernel

One of the big news stories of this week is that a pre-order date for Grand Theft Auto 6 has been announced - just in case you were skeptical about this game being one of the biggest launches of anything ever. Speaking of launches, Xbox has launched another new round of studio closures which obviously sucks! On a more positive note, we've checked out a bunch of fun and creative new demos as part of Steam Next Fest, and Square's new action RPG The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales.

We're in the board room this week and what better place to discuss the gaming industry's newest source for big announcements: the earnings call.
