This week’s episode of The TT Show kicks off with a discussion about the meteoric rise of ‘Black Myth: Wukong,’ an action RPG that’s quickly become one of the most popular and played single-player games on PC. Jak and Kosta delve into the game’s captivating blend of fast-paced combat, Souls-like mechanics, and stunning cinematic visuals, all set within a richly detailed world.
Gamescom, the year’s biggest gaming convention and conference, takes center stage in the episode. Jak and Kosta explore some of the show’s key highlights, including the surprise announcement of ‘Borderlands 4,’ a new ‘Mafia’ game, and Microsoft’s groundbreaking move to bring the previously exclusive ‘Indiana Jones and the Great Circle’ to PlayStation 5.
This move from Microsoft marks a significant shift in their console exclusivity strategy, potentially signaling a future where more games are available across multiple platforms. The TT Show explores the potential ramifications of this change, speculating on the future of console gaming in light of Microsoft’s recent acquisition of Activision Blizzard.

This move eliminates the need for dedicated G-SYNC modules, making high-end gaming experiences more accessible. Furthermore, Gamescom saw NVIDIA unveil a series of ‘RTX On’ trailers showcasing the power of ray-tracing in games like ‘Dragon Age: The Veilguard’ and ‘Avowed.’
Stepping away from the gaming world, Jak and Kosta explore the latest advancements in brain chip technology and share a hilarious anecdote about driverless cars encountering each other, leading to a chorus of honking.
