Hopefully, everyone had a great Memorial Day Weekend. This wasn't the biggest news week but at least there are a few things to talk about including Microsoft finally confirming that Call of Duty Black Ops 6 will be coming to Xbox Game Pass. Could this be the spark plug that helps liven up the service? Or is this a huge risk at possibly diminishing the cash cow in the first year of owning it?

There are also rumors that a full PS5 Astrobot game will be announced soon and that it is not linked to the PSVR 2 like the first game was to the PlayStation VR. Does this excite the duo at the prospect of getting a longer Astrobot game? Also, some interesting announcements from Sony on their view on the future of gaming including a weird controller.

Plus, Nintendo acquires a studio, IGN acquires more gaming websites, Atari acquires Intellivision, Shift Up wants to do more with Stellar Blade and more on this edition of the show.

Each week on Video Games 2 the MAX, Sean Garmer brings his perspective as a longtime veteran of games journalism to the table. He’s often joined by semi-regular co-host and seasoned reviewer Marc Morrison, or sometimes a guest, for conversations that dig into the entire world of interactive entertainment. The discussion naturally flows from the games they’re currently playing and reviewing into the biggest news stories shaping the industry. Every episode also carves out space for a deeper dive on a special topic, giving the analysis room to breathe beyond just the headlines. Given that games don't exist in a vacuum, the dialogue occasionally branches into related films and television shows, all filtered through a gamer's lens. This isn't a rushed recap; it's a considered chat between knowledgeable voices who have been around the block. The result is a podcast that feels like sitting in on a conversation between friends who just happen to have a wealth of experience. You’ll hear genuine opinions, informed debates, and the kind of context that only comes from years of paying close attention. Whether it's a blockbuster release or a niche indie title, the focus remains on thoughtful commentary over simple hype. Tune in for a comprehensive, yet personal, take on everything happening in gaming and the pop culture that intersects with it.
