Welcome to your May 2025 debrief from the Unifield Gamers Network! This week, we're navigating a seismic shift in the gaming landscape. Xbox sends shockwaves with console and game price hikes to $599/$379 and $80, respectively – how are gamers reacting? Apple faces unprecedented legal pressure in the US and EU over App Store policies, with billions in fines looming. EA announces major layoffs and cancels a beloved Titanfall project, signaling a strategy shift.
But it's not all turbulence! The Nintendo Switch 2 gets a June 5th launch date and a revolutionary "GameChat" feature. We dive into Xbox Game Pass additions, the winding down of PlayStation Stars, a flood of new game releases like RoadCraft and Deliver At All Costs, the surprise $50 Mafia: The Old Country, and confirmed remakes for Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4. Plus, Gears of War is coming to PS5!
Get the latest on Half-Life 3 rumors, GTA 6 delays, the mobile phenomenon Monopoly Go!, and the broader industry trends defining 2025 – from the SAG-AFTRA strike to the rise of gaming as a social utility. It's a packed episode you don't want to miss!
