This week on the M2 Podcast, we dive into the growing chaos of AI-generated games after someone recreated Minecraft as a playable multiplayer experience directly inside X—and immediately monetized it with crypto sponsorships. We also break down Call of Duty’s upcoming support for NVIDIA’s RTX Spark and Windows on Arm, what it means for PC gaming and anti-cheat, and Xbox’s confusing clarification surrounding GTA 6 streaming and its potential PC implications. Finally, we discuss former Activision CEO Bobby Kotick joining Skydance’s board and what his return to the entertainment industry could mean for the future of Warner Bros. and its gaming properties.

We also break down a major PS5 hacking breakthrough that could open the door to homebrew, emulation, and game preservation on far more consoles.
