It’s a new month, and as we gear up for the end of the summer, things aren’t quieting down. Alejandro and Paul continue their discussion surrounding the legal troubles of Activision Blizzard and the recent departure/ouster of Blizzard president J Allen Brack, Sony announcing some impressive sales data about the PlayStation 5 and a couple token exclusives, the new PS5 firmware focused on storage expansion and UI improvements, the unsurprising delay of Horizon: Forbidden West out of the Holiday 2021 season and Halo Infinite’s very well received technical test and unfortunate campaign/battle royale leaks. All this and more, in the latest episode of The X Button!
