| 10/17/26 | DF Direct Q+A: GTA 6 - Will AI Enable "Pirate" PC Ports? How Will Sony React To The PS5 Jailbreak? | In the new AI era, it seems that decompilation, recompilation and unofficial ports are child's play - so what are the chances of an unofficial GTA 6 PC port before Rockstar delivers the real thing? And adjacent to that, how is Sony going to react to the massive impact of the recent PS5 jailbreak? Meanwhile, the panel are asked about the importance of PS5 Pro as it nears its second anniversary and questions are asked about the support level for the recently released QSSR.Join the DF Supporter Program for a private, ad-free RSS feed and high quality ad-free video downloads of all DF content, including DF Direct.00:00 Introduction00:50 Supporter Q1: Will Rockstar move up GTA 6’s PC release date because of PS5 emulation?15:22 Supporter Q2: Will Sony adjust their policies in response to PS5 jailbreaks?21:09 Supporter Q3: Have you changed your opinions on PS5 Pro over the past couple of years?26:36 Supporter Q4: Will Sony abandon QSSR?32:56 Supporter Q5: Can Nintendo force VRR to work on Switch 2 games?38:05 Supporter Q6: Why do PC graphics vendors not implement upscaling with DRS as a default?

| 10/12/26 | DF Direct Weekly #285: Dragon's Dogma 2 Switch 2, P.T Native PC Port, Galactic Racer PC Tested! | Dragon's Dogma 2 launched with problematic performance on current-gen consoles, making a Switch 2 port seemingly impossible. But the game improved and now the Switch 2 version is here and it's almost brilliant. The panel discuss the new port in depth, before moving on to their thoughts on the PC version of Star Wars: Galactic Racer. Then it's on to a remarkable native PC port of Hideo Kojima's P.T - complete with ray tracing! - before the show ends on a more sombre note with Sony selling off its VR patents to Meta.

| 9/23/26 | DF Direct Q+A: Switch 2 60FPS Frame-Gen - How Good/Bad Is It? Should Next-Gen Be Delayed? | Stellar Blade on Switch 2 enforces the use of frame generation to target 60fps - and Capcom is offering the same feature with a toggle in the upcoming Dragon's Dogma 2 port. So how does it work and what have we learned from testing it in Stellar Blade?

And why on earth would Netflix pay for a six-hour exclusivity window? Meanwhile, The Verge reveals Microsoft docs confirming Xbox 360 emulation for PC, Xbox Disc2Digital should be coming soon and someone has Half-Life Alyx kinda running on Meta Quest 3.

| 8/4/26 | DF Direct Q+A: Sony Finally Responds To End-Of-Disc Backlash - And It's Not Good News | It took a Q+A session of its own within a financial earnings call - as opposed to talking directly to its users - but Sony has finally responded to the backlash whipped up by its announcement of the cancellation of physical media. What do we make of the response? And if it's just a small minority of PlayStation users upset by the news, is it right that Sony ignores the very negative feedback? Beyond that, we talk next-gen "secret source", whether it's possible for PC users to get a curated out-of-the-box "good settings experience" and where does Project Helix back-compat stand compared to PlayStation 6?00:00 Introduction00:44 Supporter Q1: Does Sony’s response to disc discontinuation critics miss the mark?19:46 Supporter Q2: Do disc enthusiasts represent a minority Sony can ignore?33:27 Supporter Q3: What ‘secret sauce’ will sell PS6 and Xbox Helix?42:52 Supporter Q4: Is it too much of a hassle to get good PC performance?49:34 Supporter Q5: Will Helix be disadvantaged relative to PS6 when playing last gen software?

| 8/3/26 | DF Direct Weekly #275: This Is The Most Performant Console Generation Since 16-Bit 2D | The news has been pretty grim for the last few months, so why not concentrate on the positives? PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X have delivered the best performing videogame generation since the 16-bit 2D era with more support for 60fps gaming than any other 3D-focused console. How did this happen and what are the drawbacks? Meanwhile, if those same consoles are effectively pint-sized PCs using PC components, why is there the sense that PC gaming is far less performant than it should be? John, Rich and Oliver discuss this, with a cameo from Tom talking Splatoon Raiders and OG Xbox "back compat" improvements.0:00:00 Introduction0:01:41 News 1: This is the most performant console generation in 30 years... but what about PC?0:32:23 News 2: Have we gone too easy on Halo: Campaign Evolved?0:47:00 News 3: Will Xbox Helix cut out Steam?0:59:05 News 4: Splatoon Raiders tested!1:14:40 News 5: Improvements for Xbox BC on PC!
