MinnMax's Ben Hanson is joined by Jeff Marchiafava, Janet Garcia, and Kyle Hilliard to look back at our predictions from last year and make bold, new predictions about games in 2025. From GTA 6 to the Nintendo Switch 2, we predict it all. Game Over. Then Leo Vader joins the show to talk Keep Driving, Aloft, A Game About Digging A Hole, Rift of the NecroDancer, and then we return to Obsidian's Avowed to get Janet's full thoughts. Then we answer questions submitted on Patreon by the community and award the iam8bit question of the week!
