Apologies for the lateness on this one - a lot of time and effort went into the DLSS 5 video. For those who missed the Call For Questions post, the Q+A Show has been rolled into Direct #280 - in part down to workload, in part down to lack of news and in part down to Rich's migraine.

Video blurb: the Digital Foundry panel convene to talk about Sony's disappointing State of Play, John shares his thoughts on the Grand Theft Auto 6 Extended Look and there are more hints about Xbox's next-gen strategy as Asha Sharma discusses a family of devices - amongst other things - in an interview with the BBC.
