377 - GTA 6, Intergalactic, and Overheating PS5s?!

Fred’s now 63 hours into Octopath Traveler II, and Jake’s diving into Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. No listener feedback this week—but plenty of PlayStation news to break down:

• Helldivers II continues to crush it with new content—this time, it's a full-on war against the Illuminate.
• Guilty Gear Strive grand finals at EVO Japan were derailed by an overheating PS5—hardware reliability in question.
• Fallout Season 2 hits Amazon this December, heading to the Mojave with major New Vegas vibes. Season 3 already confirmed.
• A former Rockstar dev says GTA VI didn’t enter full production until 2018. We also break down Trailer 2—and yes, Rockstar insists it’s running on a stock PS5.
• Naughty Dog’s new game, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, stars Tati Gabrielle as a bounty hunter on a cursed planet. Big themes, big reactions—both good and bad.
• DOOM: The Dark Ages ships with just 85MB on disc—another hit to physical game preservation.
• Death Stranding 2 has officially gone gold.
• Mafia: The Old Country looks gritty and cinematic—new trailer shows off the 1900s Sicily setting. It’s a focused $50 narrative experience dropping August 8th.
