This week, John enlists the help of Axios games reporter Stephen Totilo to fill in important gaps in the week’s top stories, including a new lawsuit filed against Activision-Blizzard, Square-Enix dumping some Western studios to Embracer, and Reggie Fils-Aime’s book tour. We also get you ready for the upcoming week’s game releases including some Xbox Game Pass you won’t want to miss.
