The team reacts to Pearl Abyss' statement that Crimson Desert is - somehow - coming to Switch 2, but the first order of business is to share impressions (and performance testing) for the Gears of War E-Day MP beta on PC... and while extremely impressive, we do have some concerns. Rich tests a remarkable system for playing Switch 2 games on the go in TV move with a virtual 174-inch OLED display, John's excited by a new wave of announced VR titles, there's curiousity around Xbox/Game Pass app games coming to Linux and there's some eyebrow-raising data on Resident Evil Requiem physical disc sales.
Update: A word on Viture glasses battery life since it's not clear here. The dock acts like the Nintendo dock except it is powered by a battery. It'll charge the system while also powering it and the glasses. When the dock battery runs out of juice, Switch 2 reverts to a standard handheld configuration and the glasses are deactivated. Pro-tip: fully charge Switch 2 before gaming on the go with the Viture glasses.
