Welcome to “PRESS PLAY,” a recurring live show on Fridays at 4 p.m. ET where the Press comes to Play. The Washington Post’s video game coverage team, Launcher, brings on big-name guests and journalists to play various games, including new and upcoming games, pre-release previews, interesting game mods, and popular multiplayer games.
In this episode, we invite on Washington Post’s newly acquired columnist Taylor Lorenz, previously from the New York Times. We venture into The Lands Between once more and ask for her opinions on Elden Ring and its influence on video game culture. Also appearing on stream are Nathan Grayson and Gene Park.
