Hot off the heels of releasing Astro Bot, Sony announced that the PS5 Pro will launch this November at a staggering cost of of $700.

And is a piece of hardware like this even needed given how many games continue to be developed with last-gen consoles in mind? All of these topics and more are discussed on this week’s Quick Save!

This has been one of the most bizarre weeks in the history of PlayStation. On one hand, Sony announced that it would suddenly be shutting down its new multiplayer shooter, Concord, after the game failed to make an impact in any way. Conversely, Astro Bot is launching to close the week and is far and away one of the best exclusives that has been seen so far on the PS5. Host Logan Moore and special guest Max Roberst break down what these events mean for PlayStation not only now, but in the years to come. Should Sony continue to push for a piece of the live-service pie, or should Astro Bot become more of the type of game that is synonymous with the PlayStation brand? All of these questions and more are broken down in this week’s Quick Save.
