Welcome back to Next-Gen Console Watch, our show following all the news and rumors on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series. I’m Daemon Hatfield, and this week I’m joined by Ryan McCaffrey, host of IGN’s Xbox podcast, Podcast Unlocked, and Max Scoville, host of IGN’s PlayStation podcast, Podcast Beyond. This week we’re talking about early access, and the changing meaning of the term. Join us as we take a look at the early access launch of Starfield compared to Baldur’s Gate 3, and analyze what it might mean for future game releases.
