Triangle Squared: A Playstation Podcast

Are Xbox exclusives officially back, or is this just another strange chapter in Microsoft's gaming strategy?



This week on Triangle Squared: A PlayStation Podcast, we react to the latest Xbox Showcase and Nintendo Direct, breaking down the biggest reveals, surprises, and questions coming out of both events. Gears of War E-Day is now being positioned as an Xbox console exclusive, Clockwork Revolution looks genuinely fantastic, Fable brought back Jack of Blades, and Xbox suddenly seems interested in making exclusives matter again.



But does any of this actually move the needle? We get into Xbox's identity crisis, whether Game Pass has changed the value of exclusives, what Asha Sharma's leadership could mean after Phil Spencer, and whether PlayStation players should believe these games are truly staying off PS5.



We also discuss State of Decay 3, Halo Campaign Evolved, the Xbox 25th Anniversary console, Persona, Spyro, Final Fantasy, Nintendo's showcase strategy, and which company had the best showing overall.

Summer Game Fest 2026 has come and gone, and we're breaking down the biggest reveals, strangest moments, and most exciting games from Jeff Keighley's latest showcase!



This year's SGF brought major announcements like Resident Evil Veronica, Alien Isolation 2, Gen Atlas, Guild Wars 3, Final Fantasy VII: Revelation, The Wolf Among Us 2, Blood of Dawnwalker, Star Wars: Zero Company, and TMNT: The Last Ronin moving to Platinum Games. We also dig into Capcom's incredible hot streak, Ubisoft's sudden obsession with remakes, the wild Tupac controversy in Stranger Than Heaven, and whether Summer Game Fest 2026 was actually a strong showcase overall.



Of course, it wouldn't be a live gaming showcase without technical issues, questionable trailers, surprise reveals, and a few games that left us wondering what exactly we just watched. Join us as we react to the full Summer Game Fest 2026 presentation from a PlayStation-focused perspective!

The State of Play is finally here, and we've got a lot to talk about.

This week, Brett and Chris break down Sony's latest showcase, including Marvel's Wolverine, Ace Combat, new co-op experiences, surprise reveals, and whether PlayStation delivered one of its strongest presentations in recent memory.

Before diving into the showcase, the guys discuss their time with 007: First Light, Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, Pragmata, Voice of Cards, and the launch of Marathon Season 2. Along the way, they debate whether developers should move beyond the franchises that made them famous, whether Marathon's new PvE additions help or hurt the extraction shooter formula, and why GTA 6 continues to influence the entire gaming industry.
