Madden 23 was supposed to be different. It was supposed to be the answer to years of criticism about the franchise's long-running history of issues as a result of annual releases and well apparently it does make some great improvements… but also it’s riddled with tons of bugs! We have pulled the highlights for you in this week's roundup.
In other news; Microsoft wants Activision for mobile, Quantic Dream has been acquired, Splatoon 3 players are already getting banned, and Arkane didn’t want to call it ‘Prey’
In this week’s 5-Second Review Brian talks about cranking it and the Coming Soon section heralds the return of Splatoon.
Thanks for watching everyone and have a great weekend!
