As always, please do not leak details in the Direct ahead of publication. This one's going live tomorrow at 3pm (so not exactly long to wait), with the Switch hands-on the following day.

Join Rich, Oliver and Alex for discussion on the latest leaks surrounding the mooted PlayStation handheld and the mystery of docked VRR support suddenly going missing from Switch 2 PR. There's exciting news from CD Projekt RED, confirming DLSS support for Cyberpunk 2077 on the new Nintendo hybrid, while Alex shares his thoughts on some of the GDC 2025 presentations that have started to emerge. Oh yes, and that ad/trailer video post explained - put simply, we tried something new, we got it very wrong and we won't be doing it again.

And here's our usual blurb about our podcast feed: you're new to the DF Supporter Program and want early podcast access to DF Direct Weekly, please ignore any Patreon links elsewhere and head over here for your exclusive feed. The Patreon link with Acast is disappearing soon, but Patreon assures us that your subscription at the old link will carry over to the new one! https://open.acast.com/public/patreon/fanSubscribe/593963

I appreciate you putting the bit about the zelda ad up front. A lot of channels would just get defensive and talk down to their audience. Respect for admitting it may not have been a good idea.

I have no interest in Switch stuff, so I was oblivious to the DF kerfuffle. With that said, I respect your callout to finding a better balance to future ad-related content. You still have my Patreon subscription. Again, thank you for directly addressing this surprise alteration to typical DF content.

Mmm, chilli con carne

I’ve rejoined the Patreon despite not having much money just to show support after the ad controversy. I know there was no malice involved, and mistakes happen. DF is as respected in and outside the industry as it is precisely because you make so few mistakes and have by far the highest bar for quality of any analytical outlet, which is why the very rare mistake sticks out so much. Keep doing what you’re doing, and don’t let one slip-up make you feel down. Have a great Easter!

I love that Oliver’s default response to being asked if he has any other thoughts on a topic is ‘no…..’ and then proceeds to give an interesting and insightful response regardless 😂

Love and respect to you guys, always.

Textbook Ollie!

Hey Guys, zero issues if you guys want to have Ad videos, but I think the label is necessary. I think the only thing that was off-putting was going in thinking we were getting more of you guys and then it being JUST a trailer 😅 maybe you guys can do commentary over your trailers with your thoughts 😂

Enjoy the long weekend all, after what I can only imagine was a stressful week.

Cyberpunk using DLSS is unexpected! I hope some more footage is released soon for a deeper dive into it. Also there are rumors of it apparently using the Series S version of the code

Blue

It doesn’t matter what code is using lmao I can use the ps5 code doesn’t meant it’s at a ps5 level running the game

SonicX

4k version still will arrive?
