Thanks to AG1 for sponsoring FPS! -- This week we're joined by John Linneman of Digital Foundry to discuss the PS5 Pro. It's been out for a few weeks now so we wanted to check in on how it's been doing post launch, how the library of games is performing and guess what the future holds. Plus we're lucky enough to be joined by Yevhenii Kulyk of GSC Game World, who right now is putting the finishing touches on STALKER 2. We talk through the challenging road to launch, what players should expect on day one and what the future holds for both STALKER 2 and the studio.

Been listening since day 1

Followed Jake Baldino for years with Gameranx, and have listened to every episode through YouTube and ended up subscribing to both skill up and the completionist aswell! I just got audible and thought I'd keep up with it on here. thanks, guys, for great content!

Love to just hear these folks chat about gaming

I usually watch on YouTube on skillups channel but sometimes If I wanna garden or I’m on a drive it great to listen via podcast on here.
