Hi everyone, first up apologies for the further issues occuring on digitalfoundry.net in terms of Patreon logins. The same issue has occurred again, suggesting that more tweaks have been made to the Patreon API. We'll get things up and running again on Monday once the Gamer Network team is back at work.

As for this week's Direct? It's another packed edition which sees Rich, Alex and Oliver discussing a range of topics. Why is it so difficult to get PSVR 2 working on PC? Why are the AMD Ryzen 9000/Zen 5 reviews to contentious? As Star Wars Jedi: Survivor breaks cover on last-gen consoles, what exactly is the point - and will the PC version get fixed? Meanwhile, the team rave about Space Marine 2's visuals, Doom/Doom 2 get a brand-new Nightdive release, Final Fantasy 16 may be imminent on PC and Oliver brings together all of the latest Half-Life 3 conspiracy theories... Could it actually be happening?
