This week on the Level Down Podcast, we break down a packed week of gaming news and entertainment updates.

Sony is making headlines after reports surfaced about a new PlayStation digital DRM license check, raising concerns that players could temporarily lose access to purchased digital games if their consoles stay offline too long. We discuss what this means for digital ownership, game preservation, and whether gamers should be worried.

We also cover Sony agreeing to pay $7.8 million in a PlayStation Store class-action settlement after accusations of monopolizing digital game sales through PSN.

On top of that, PlayStation fans got hit with more bad news as refurbished PS5 prices jumped by $100, making even used consoles more expensive.

🔥 This Episode Includes:

• PlayStation 30-day DRM online check controversy

• PS5 digital ownership concerns explained

• Sony’s $7.8 million PSN lawsuit settlement

• Refurbished PS5 price increase breakdown

• New York online gaming/social media age verification law proposal

• GTA 6 confirmed to have NO real-world ads or product placement

• reboot news with original cast & director

• trailer discussion

Will stricter DRM eventually hurt digital gaming? Are PlayStation prices becoming unreasonable? And is Rockstar making the right call by keeping GTA 6 ad-free?

🎙️ THIS WEEK ON THE LEVEL DOWN PODCAST… 🎙️

Chondel and Devin grab their mics, press record… and immediately forget what they were supposed to talk about. 🤦‍♂️

Join us for another chaotic episode where we attempt to discuss tech, television, and whatever random thoughts sneak into our brains mid-sentence. Somewhere between the rambling, we actually break down the new DC Clayface trailer (yes, we stayed on topic for a whole 3 minutes — a new record).

💸 MAIN EVENT (eventually…): Xbox Game Pass Price Shake-Up

After 45 minutes of side quests, snack debates, and “wait what were we saying?”, we finally get into the big news:

• Game Pass Ultimate drops to $22.99/month (your wallet can breathe again)

• PC Game Pass drops to $13.99/month

• Prices may vary depending on where you live (because of course they do)

🎮 BUT WAIT… THERE’S MORE DRAMA:

• New Call of Duty games are NOT coming to Game Pass at launch anymore 😬

• You’ll have to wait about a year (holiday season drop) like it’s a DLC for patience

• Current COD titles? Still there. No need to panic uninstall.

🎁 GAME PASS PERKS = FREE STUFF ALERT

We also dive into all the goodies being thrown at subscribers:

• Free content for Sea of Thieves, Minecraft, PUBG, and more

• Warzone packs, Albion Online rewards, and even a FREE comic (yes, really)

• Some perks are Ultimate-only… because exclusivity is alive and well

🤔 Expect hot takes, cold takes, and takes that make absolutely no sense.

If you like podcasts that stay laser-focused and highly professional… this ain’t that.

But if you enjoy laughs, chaos, and two guys trying their best (and failing gloriously), you’re in the right place.

👇 Drop a comment:

Would you wait a year for Call of Duty on Game Pass, or is that a dealbreaker?

We kick things off with a wild deep dive into Ghost Rider lore, from the prehistoric Spirit of Vengeance riding a flaming woolly mammoth to modern Riders like Robbie Reyes pulling up in a hell-charged muscle car. Then we put our own spin on it—what would we drive and use as a weapon if we became Ghost Rider? Let’s just say… Philly Rider might be the most chaotic version yet

Super Mario Galaxy Movie Review

We break down the sequel—what worked (animation and music), what didn’t (the messy story), and why it suffers hard from sequel-itis. Fun for kids, but did it miss the mark for longtime fans?

Mass Effect TV Show Update

Amazon is reportedly reworking the series to appeal to non-gamers. Is this a smart move for a wider audience, or a risky play that could water down what fans love?

State of Decay 3 News

We talk about the upcoming survival game, its setting years after the apocalypse, and the upcoming 2026 alpha playtests.

TV Talk

Quick hits including the return of Animorphs and what that could look like in today’s world.

Chondel finally started the series From and has questions just like the rest of us.

Jump into the comments:

• What would YOUR Ghost Rider vehicle and weapon be?

• Are you worried about the Mass Effect TV show changes?

• Did the Mario sequel live up to expectations?
