Not to mention, the other announcements from the show including the Tomb Raider anniversary collection, Sean being into Outriders with the Xbox Game Pass announcement, and more.

The guys also discuss Sony surprising everyone and buying EVO. Does Nintendo leave the tournament now that a competitor owns it? Will it change much with Sony putting money into it?
