The GI at E3 Newscast: E3 Recap, Nintendo's strategy and Game Pass, with Shahid Ahmad

Our final video discussion looks back at a week of digital showcases and big reveals

In our final GI at E3 Newscast, James and Danielle are joined by indie developer Shahid Ahmad to reflect on the full week of game announcements and reveals.

During the course of the conversation, we weigh up the strategies of both Xbox and Nintendo, discuss the shortcomings of a digital-only E3, and debate the merits of Microsoft's 'everything on Game Pass' model vs PlayStation's focus on $70 blockbusters.

Despite what James says at the end of the episode, our full podcast looking back at key trends and titles will be released tomorrow rather than later today.
