Show Dot Points


• There is a lack of standout games in 2023 so far, with no big defining Sony IP and no game that revolutionises the industry.


• The closure of Kotaku Australia highlights the challenges faced by the games media industry despite the thriving games development scene in Australia.


• Xbox Game Pass is undergoing changes in subscription models and prices, with the removal of the Game Pass for console tier and price increases for other tiers.


• Opinions on the value of Xbox Game Pass vary, with some seeing it as a decent deal despite the price increase, while others are frustrated by the removal of day one releases from the standard tier. Xbox Game Pass offers a great value for gamers, but the recent price increase and introduction of pricing tiers has caused confusion among consumers.


• Concord is a hero arena shooter developed by Firewalk Studios and published by Sony. It features unique gameplay mechanics and a focus on versatility and teamwork.


• Angerfoot is a fast-paced kicking and shooting game developed by Free Lives. It offers unique gameplay and a fun and challenging experience.


• Both Concord and Angerfoot have received positive reviews and are worth checking out for fans of their respective genres.
