Have you ever seen the two of us so happy?

This week I'm joined by VGC's @jordanmiddler.bsky.social and we talked a lot about Pragmata, energy drinks, the power of GTA6, what review discs look like in different regions, and much more! Get it ad-free at jeff.zone or check out the video version right here! youtu.be/gpumkYAX15A

Honoured to take over as the new permanent host of The Jeff Gerstmann Show.

Capcom can't miss right now. It's time...

Pragmata is great. 2008 is back, baby. Capcom is on an absolutely ridiculous run. My review:

Pragmata Review: Capcom’s charming sci-fi shooter feels like it’s from moons ago. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ vgc.news/review/pragm...

Consider this our audition for the next reboot of God of War.

Podcast: Is Forza Horizon 6 a Game of the Year contender? @jordanmiddler.bsky.social and @scully1888.bsky.social chat about the week in news, and what they've been playing. Watch: youtu.be/RSJ36JaMKXs Listen: lnk.to/VGC Plus: Jordan and Chris get scanned.

“you can finish it in like 7 hours”

The “parcel” in question is a Donner Calzone

This week, I spoke to the bold Wade Barrett about WWE 2K26, WrestleMania, and The Nexus. Enjoy! youtu.be/75ar25rMiBw

I genuinely thought this was a still from The Inbetweeners.

Got a Shiny in Pokémon Champions after 2 attempts. Amazing luck, or are the Shiny odds in Pokémon Champions much better? Who knows.

There is no price too high. Put me in the GT Cafe.

Podcast: How do you remake Ocarina of Time? @jordanmiddler.bsky.social @scully1888.bsky.social @andyrobinson.bsky.social and @apzonerunner.com chat about remaking one of the most beloved games ever. Watch: www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNPb... Listen: lnk.to/VGC

Trying something a bit different on the VGC channel today. Have a watch and let me know what you think. I should have added more vents. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gar...

I'm excited for Gears E-Day, but I genuinely don't know how they make that game in 2026. Sure, great campaign, back to basics. But... then what? I'll love that, but for PLAYER RETENTION, I'm not so sure. Trad 6vs6 multiplayer? Horde? Gears, and Halo for that matter, are in such a weird spot.

Hacking our CMS to give the film 6 stars

Happy $899.99 PS5 Pro day! I'll see you all for $1000 PS5 Pro day in about three weeks.

how your April Fool's press release finds me:

VGC Discord is absolutely massive

If Raccoin isn't on Switch 2 or mobile by the next time I have to fly to the US, I'm going to release a real raccoon full of pennies in the aisle.

Having a Crunchie for my lunch, so yes, things are pretty good at home.

People tell me the favourite part of the VGC Podcast is when we talk about anything other than games. Instead of taking that as the veiled insult it may well be, we have an entire podcast of nonsense every month on Patreon. We're close to a huge Patreon milestone, so please consider supporting!

Off-Topic podcast: What's your YouTube guilty pleasure? @jordanmiddler.bsky.social, @scully1888.bsky.social and @andyrobinson.bsky.social share YouTube oddities, traumatic school trips and more. Out now on Patreon. www.patreon.com/posts/154317...

Once this game is on my phone, it's over. Raccoin is the best one of these since Balatro.

Remember State of Decay?

This an Xbox (showcase)

Some lovely feedback on these over the last few days. PRs: Let your devs sit down and talk openly. Sure, you might get the odd rogue quote, but the audience cares about real conversations waaaaay more than generic PR interviews. Hit me up.

Next up, the game's art director, Simone Silverstri, sat down and explained, in detail, some of the game's visual inspiration and how they balance art with rapid action. youtu.be/eIp5HxJAsJ0

In case you missed it, this week I published my extended interviews with two of Saros' most senior figures. Firstly, the game's director, Gregory Louden, and I nerded out about the game's first three hours, and much more. @gregorylouden.bsky.social youtu.be/QBBwZgmIZ1Q

If anyone else would like terrible life advice let me know asap

The podcast genuinely broke down into them two bickering about the Wii U. Working here is exactly what you imagine it to be like.

Podcast: Epic, PlayStation and Nintendo face tough weeks. @jordanmiddler.bsky.social, @andyrobinson.bsky.social and @dringo.bsky.social discuss all the news from this week. Watch: youtu.be/eOLoGXhA0kY Listen: lnk.to/VGC Plus: What do we make of the Switch 2 lineup so far?

Andy’s Nintendo-hating allegations are about to go into overdrive.

Nintendo is reportedly planning to release a major Zelda remake and a new Star Fox game this year, but a 3D Mario game won’t arrive on Switch 2 until 2027. vgc.news/news/sources...

A non-zero chance that the Steam Machine just never comes out now, since Valve would probably have to charge silly money for it. What a time.

If you have the sickness, Argos still has the Pro for an eye-watering £640, which, as of 24 minutes ago, is a circus of value.

I personally think it's class that the PS6 and new Xbox will cost 2 grand thanks to Fruit Love Island.

Confirmed: All PS5 console prices are being raised by at least $100. From April 2, a PS5 Pro will cost $900 / £790. vgc.news/news/confirm...

Saros is fantastic. I knew Saros was going to be fantastic; it's from the guys who made Returnal, after all. I am so pleased. My extensive hands-on impressions and chat with the game's director @gregorylouden.bsky.social are live on VGC. www.videogameschronicle.com/features/hou...

Hell yeah Pragmata DLC

Last month, I got the chance to play Pokemon Champions and interview the game's director, Masaaki Hoshino. Please enjoy this tale of VGC vs Serebii in the ultimate Pokemon battle. With apologies to @joemerrick.bsky.social :) www.videogameschronicle.com/features/pok...
