Welcome to episode 43 of the Grapplehook podcast.

We got a lucky break. We haven't spoken about Cyberpunk 2077 for months but it is now making a return to the PS Store. Is the game now fixed? And what's with the warning when you attempt to buy the game?

E3's been and gone but that hasn't stopped EA from planning their next event. The Play Live event is on 22nd July and rumours are flying that a remaster/ remake of Dead Space is due to be announced. Matt's a huge fan of the Dead Space series so this should be good news, right?

Battlefield 4 has seen a huge bump in player count since the reveal of Battlefield 2042. Have Matt & Dan given it another go and what are our impressions of the Battlefield series?

Chinese conglomerate Tencent has made another purchase in the Western gaming sphere and now holds a majority stake in Yager, the team behind the excellent Spec Ops: The Line. With more Chinese money making it's way into Western markets and the ever growing influence this holds on voices speaking out against injustices, are we ok with selling our values to the highest bidder? Matt & Dan tackle this inevitably political topic on the show.

Matt shares his next consideration for the Grapplehook Spotlight (spoiler, it's on GamePass right now!) and Dan shares the games coming out next week.
