Sony Deepens Investment Into PC Gaming - The Home of Play Podcast ep.121

The Home of Play: A PlayStation Podcast

Happy Monday!

We've finally made it to July, and as usual that means the gaming news slows down. Fortunately we scrapped the deepest pits of the internet and were able to find some PlayStation news to discuss. Firstly Cory Barlog and the rest of the crew at Sony Santa Monica, kindly ask for everyone to reframe from sending any more dick pics! A new picture emerges online of the PSVR2, and it looks simplistic, in a good way. We also learn that Sega intends to make live action shows and or movies of Atlus games, including Persona. Lots of fun stuff to dissect, so lets just get into it!
