Point It Out!

This week on Point It Out! We discuss the unfolding news around the GTA 6 Cyberleek leaks, a gaming favorite going to mobile and the sneaky favorite for AAA game of the year. Plus, Polygon Editor-At-Large Giovanni Colantonio holds Simone and Patches hostage with a powerpoint they'll never forget. Point It Out! is a gaming news show for people who already know the news — or think they do. Every week, Polygon host Simone de Rochefort, Editor-in-Chief Matt Patches, and an expert guest yank the biggest stories out of the discourse cycle and unpack them through rowdy, ridiculous PowerPoint presentations. Points are awarded, winners are crowned, and the loser wears a dunce cap. (No, seriously.) The stakes are meaningless, but the insight is real: In true Polygon fashion, Point It Out lovingly lampoons the gaming news show while secretly teaching you everything you need to know about the current state of gaming. *AFFILIATE LINKS* Secretlab Titan Evo: https://secretlab.co/products/titan-evo-2022-series/?rfsn=6939278.d2b0a4&utm_source=refersion&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=6939278.d2b0a4&subid=p-100826 Secretlab Atlas: https://secretlab.co/products/atlas?sku=3ATL25SW-PDUNE1R&rfsn=9065694&utm_source=throne&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=9065694&subid=p-100826 Secretlab Magus Pro: https://secretlab.co/products/magnus-pro/?rfsn=6939278.d2b0a4&utm_source=refersion&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=6939278.d2b0a4&subid=p-100826 Secretlab Magus Evo: https://secretlab.co/products/magnus-evo/?rfsn=6939278.d2b0a4&utm_source=refersion&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=6939278.d2b0a4&subid=p-100826 *IMPORTANT LINKS* Polygon Newsletter: https://www.polygon.com/pages/newsletter TikTok: tiktok.com/@polygon Twitter: http://bit.ly/PolygonTwitter Instagram: http://bit.ly/PolygonInsta Facebook: http://bit.ly/PolygonFB And for more gaming and entertainment coverage, visit http://www.polygon.com
