Gamestop is back to its old tricks. This time they laid a bunch of people off so they could get into NFTs. How did the move pay off? Well, watch this week’s Roundup to find out!

In other news; Respawn is working on a game set in the Apex Legends universe, Naughty Dog says The Last of Us remake is not a ‘cash grab’, the Bayonetta 3 release date got announced, and Bandai Namco got hacked.

This week’s 5-Second Review returns to a game we already reviewed this year but it’s just that good and the Coming Soon section is packing some heat with Into the Breach, Stray, and Bright Memory: Infinite.

Thanks for watching everyone and have a great weekend!
