Summary

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 video games.

  • Hands-on with the Ocarina of Time remake and Fortnite x Obsession

    Hands-on with the Ocarina of Time remake and Fortnite x Obsession
    Oct 22 2026

    Our reporter Mike McWhertor went hands-on with Nintendo's new remake of The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time. It's been polarizing for its toy-like art style, but does this remake fix controversial sequences like the Water Temple? Not to mention the opening of the game? Mike lets us know!

    But first, we have to discuss the rumors of an $1,800 next-gen Xbox, and Inde Navarette's iconic Nikki Freeman from Obsession getting her own Fortnite skin.

    This episode was recorded before news about the BioWare studio closure broke. We'll discuss it in detail next week.
