UPDATE: There was an encoding issue with the initial version of this Direct which prevented it delivering higher resolution versions. We've re-uploaded and re-embedded the video above. Thanks for your patience!

Hi everyone, the new Direct is ready... but as I write this post, I'm not sure if YouTube has yet to successfully encode the video! It's getting late here in the UK, so I'm giving it a couple of hours to resolve and then this post goes live. Even if the embed above hasn't completed encoding, the downloads should work fine.

And here's the blurb: with the DF team meeting up with IGN this week, this Direct comes to you straight from IGN's UK studio. Rich, John and Alex talk Sony State of Play, from the sublime Astro Bot to the distinctly unimpressive Concord. Meanwhile, the team discuss Sony's intention to sell PS5s from its PC ports and the big news that COD Black Ops 6 will be day one on Game(s) Pass rounds off the week's big stories.

And here's the customary additional block of text that points out that if you're new to the DF Supporter Program and want early podcast access to DF Direct Weekly, you should ignore any Patreon links elsewhere and click like crazy here for your exclusive feed: https://open.acast.com/public/patreon/fanSubscribe/593963
