Friendly Fire Show 205: The new PlayStation Plus cat-alogue

Meow-tch.

Stevivor’s Ben Salter and Steve Wright return for Friendly Fire Show 205, and Steve’s back is utterly rooted. Fun!

Here’s what was discussed:

Welcome

• (0:00) We missed an important anniversary!
• (2:30) Steve’s back is… better?
• (7:00) Sam Kerr is on the cover of FIFA 23 – not just in Australia, the whole world!

Stray

• (9:30) We’ve both played it (but won’t go into spoilers).
• It’s yet another purrr-fect subscription game.

Dead on arrival free-to-play and awful microtransactions

• (18:40) MultiVersus microtransactions are insane – we can’t really call them micro.
• (25:30) Roller Champions has issues —  as we’ve discussed before — so seems Ubisoft is trying to quietly kill it by indefinitely delaying future seasons.

Bungie is officially a Sony studio

• (30:20) It’s strange to see a first-party dev swap. Not many examples.
• (34:30) Now that’s done, there’s a new rumour Sony is considering buying the rest of Square Enix.

This week in delays

• (36:00) Lord of the Rings Gollum delayed until 2023, probably.
• Avatar Frontiers of Pandora delayed from 2022 to 2023 or 24.
