February 25th, 2026 | 1 hr 6 mins

In massive gaming news, and I MEAN MASSIVE! Phil Spencer has retired from Xbox and Microsoft and his #2 Sarah Bond resigned as well, as a questionable new CEO takes the reigns. Plus Sony plans to reboot their wider Spider-manless Spider-verse after its utter collapse, no more morbin time? Mortal Kombat 2 got a Johnny Cage filled trailer and Valve is getting sued by the state of New York and as Jackie Chiles would say: "It's outrageous, egregious, preposterous!"

A week after the Super Bowl and we finally got The Mandalorian and Grogu trailer, took long enough. Also Warner Bros seems to finally relent and gives Paramount 7 days to try again. If the Simpsons ever ends, which is probably more likely than you think, it wont spend time on a grand finale. PlayStation held a state of play last week, and it was heavy on Kratos, plus if you are waiting on a steam deck, blame AI.
