This week on The Trophy Room: A PlayStation Podcast, we square up the news and tackle some of the biggest stories shaping the future of gaming.

We start with reports claiming Grand Theft Auto 6 may not launch with a physical edition, as Take-Two and Rockstar allegedly consider a digital-only release to prevent leaks. We discuss what this could mean for collectors, retail, and GTA 6’s already sky-high expectations.

Next, we dig into new analyst predictions suggesting the PlayStation 6 may be delayed longer than expected, potentially extending the PS5 generation well into the next decade. We debate whether the PS5 still has untapped potential and what features the PS6 would actually need to feel like a true generational leap.

We also cover reports that a PlayStation State of Play is locked in for February, what Sony might show, and whether titles like Marvel’s Wolverine, Saros, and Marathon could appear.

On the industry side, we break down Ubisoft worker unions calling for a global strike, following layoffs, studio closures, and a push to end remote work. We discuss what this says about the current state of the games industry.

Plus, we react to the Microsoft Developer Direct, Xbox’s declining revenue numbers, discourse surrounding new releases, Nintendo Switch censorship concerns, and a packed slate of Flash News, including MLB The Show 26, PS Plus February games, and more.

We wrap up with Whatcha Been Playin’?, community questions, and plenty of classic Trophy Room discourse.
