This week on Spectator Mode Podcast, we kick things off with what we’ve been playing before diving back into the rest of our Summer Game Fest 2026 coverage. That includes the stuff we couldn’t talk about last time, such as Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3, Star Wars: Galactic Racer, and more.
We also discuss Sega’s recent financials, Bungie revealing Marathon’s new Vault Breaker PvE mode, and why the upcoming Steam Machine has us feeling more than a little frustrated.
Give the episode a watch, let us know what you think in the comments, and don’t forget to like and subscribe for more gaming, tech, and geek culture discussions from The Outerhaven.
