They discuss the release of Ratchet & Clank: Una dimensión aparte, Sony patents involving haptic feedback and the Nemesis system, and the arrival of Kingdom Hearts on PC. They also cover the theft of the source code for Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher 3, along with the possible consequences for CD Projekt and its upcoming projects.

The conversation also examines the future of Anthem, its content problems, and ideas for rebuilding it as a live-service game. Other topics include rumors about Battlefield 6, GTA VI, and a possible Sony purchase of Square Enix.
