EP 289 | Chaos at Xbox, Silence at PlayStation…

This Week on Pure Dead Gaming

It’s been a turbulent week in the industry — Xbox faces layoffs and a major restructuring that’s got everyone talking, while PlayStation has gone unusually quiet after its big digital pivot. The crew dives into what these shifts might mean for the future of both platforms.

Over on the movie front, the team revisits Mike Bassett: England Manager — a cult classic that still hits differently in today’s football climate. And Craig? He’s buzzing about Pro Bowling 2026, so much so that he might even break his solo streak and play co‑op.
