The Game Of The Summer 2025: On The Beach

Get a PS5 code for the great game Despelote if you support MinnMax on Patreon (or upgrade your tier) before Monday, July 14th. We have 50 PS5 codes, North America only. We'll post on all social channels if we run out. https://www.patreon.com/c/minnmax

MinnMax's Ben Hanson, Kelsey Lewin, Sarah Podzorski, and guest cohort Kyle Bosman share their picks for the game of the summer. Is it Mario Kart World on Nintendo Switch 2? Death Stranding 2: On The Beach? Tamagotchi Plaza for some reason? Kelsey makes the case for The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy. Then we answer questions submitted on Patreon by the community and award the iam8bit question of the week! You can win a prize and help make the show better by supporting us on Patreon and submitting a question! https://www.patreon.com/minnmax
