This week on The Trophy Room:  A PlayStation Podcast hosts Teegan, Kyle, and Joe talk about 
This week on The Trophy Room: A PlayStation Podcast, we square up the news and break down the biggest stories shaping PlayStation, Xbox, and the wider gaming industry.
We start with the reveal that Ryan Hurst has been cast as Kratos in Amazon Prime Video’s upcoming God of War TV series. Best known to PlayStation fans as Thor in God of War Ragnarök, Hurst steps into the role of Kratos as the show adapts the 2018 reboot, focusing on the emotional journey between Kratos and Atreus. We discuss whether this casting choice makes sense and what it signals for the tone of the series.
Next, we cover reports suggesting Forza Horizon 6 is set to release in May, with early access for Premium Edition players. With rumors pointing to a Japan setting, we debate whether this Xbox racing juggernaut could eventually make its way to PS5, following Microsoft’s expanding multiplatform strategy.
We also discuss confirmation that Avowed is coming to PlayStation 5 on February 17, priced at $49.99, with a Premium Edition offering bonus cosmetics, an artbook, and soundtrack. We break down what this means for Xbox exclusivity and PlayStation’s growing third-party lineup.
It’s also time for the Platties, our PlayStation awards show celebrating the best games of the year, including Ghost of Yotei, Death Stranding 2, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, and other major Game of the Year contenders.
From more Xbox games heading to PS5, to major franchise adaptations and award-season debates, this episode is packed with discussion, speculation, and PlayStation-focused analysis.
