Exploring Game Development Trends and Industry Insights | Podcast

In a unique twist for our latest podcast episode, we hosted a live Q&A session as part of the official Devcom 2024 Twitch stream. Hosts Chris Dring and James Batchelor were joined by Des Gayle from Altered Gene, responding to questions from GamesIndustry.biz readers. The discussion covered topics such as the reasoning behind developers opting for large expansions over standalone games, Nintendo's prospects for maintaining momentum with the Switch 2, the required number of concurrent users for a multiplayer game to be viable, and whether Grand Theft Auto 6 will drive last-gen console owners to upgrade.
