The Game Informer Show's latest episode brings back former host Ben Reeves as a special guest to dig into PlayStation's decision to end physical disc support, rank the best games of 2026 so far, and review Rhythm Heaven Groove.
The episode runs through several distinct segments: the PlayStation physical media news gets nearly half an hour of discussion starting at the five-minute mark, followed by Kyle Hilliard's review of Rhythm Heaven Groove around the 43-minute mark, and then a lengthy best-of-2026 conversation that runs for over 35 minutes. The show closes with listener questions. Hosts Alex Van Aken, Kyle Hilliard, and Marcus Stewart are joined by Reeves, who previously co-hosted the show before departing Game Informer.
The PlayStation physical disc news is the headline topic — Sony moving away from physical media has been a slow-burn story for years, with the disc-free PS5 Digital Edition and the PlayStation Portal pointing toward an all-digital future. The Rhythm Heaven Groove review is also notable: the Rhythm Heaven series has been dormant since Rhythm Heaven Megamix in 2016, making any new entry a significant moment for fans of Nintendo's quirky rhythm franchise.
The episode is available on Spreaker and through the usual podcast platforms. Game Informer publishes a new episode of the show every Friday.
