The Last of Us Online, E3 & More Studio Cancellations To End 2023

It's the last episode of Arcade Couch for 2023, and in fitting style, we're talking about games, studios and events being cancelled!

We have other good news to talk about too, like The Game Awards speeches we didn't get to hear, what we've been playing, including some hidden gems, and the upcoming Death Stranding movie coming from A24.
