This is a blog post, where VGC writers post irreverent and (occasionally) entertaining coverage of video game culture.

In this week’s VGC Off the Record podcast hosts Andy Robinson and Chris Scullion are joined by GamesIndustry.biz’s Christopher Dring.

We discuss Jim Ryan‘s claim that Sony is “quietly investing” in PS5 exclusives, and the company’s u-turn on its decision to close the PS3 and Vita stores.

We also give our first thoughts on Returnal, which we’ve been playing this past week.

VGC Off the Record is our news chat show, where site editors (and friends) discuss the week’s biggest games stories and behind the scenes gossip, and answer any questions submitted by VGC readers.

VGC Off The Record is available on all major podcast platforms, including Apple and Spotify.
