045: Peppa Pig Metaverse (Starfield, WB Games, Press Reset, amiibo)

It's time to explore the weird side of gaming this week, in the latest Big Week in Gaming for 23 May 2021! From Peppa Pig to Gucci-flavoured Roblox, there's no shortage of wacky antics going on with the Bigwig crew. Join integot, Mike & Swinny as they cover Starfield being Xbox exclusive, a new TimeSplitters announced after 16 years, Nintendo locking fast travel behind an amiibo - and our impressions of the new brainpunk RPG Scarlet Nexus.

Besides all that, integot finally gets his hands on Jason Schreier's latest book Press Reset - and the whole crew has a go at the indie mingleplayer maso-core platformer Cruel World. Find out which of us just wants to watch the world burn...

So take me down to Potato City, and check out these oinktacular attractions:

▸ Is Starfield an Xbox exclusive?
