About this episode

Trev and Gray discuss rising gaming prices, the impact of SteamOS on PC gaming, and the future of console gaming.

This week on the Extreme Gaming Podcast, Trev and Gray dive into another cheerful little episode of “why is everything in gaming getting more expensive?” Xbox prices are going up again, PS5 sales are dropping hard, RAM prices are apparently entering their villain era, and GTA 6 may be the thing that causes console shortages anyway. Lovely. The guys also dig into SteamOS coming to broader PCs, the future of Linux gaming, Sony possibly backing away from PC ports, GTA 6’s $80 price tag and code-in-a-box nonsense, physical discs becoming an endangered species, and whether the PS6 could end up dangerously close to the $1,000 mark. Plus: ultrawide monitor chat, Windows customization, Nintendo Switch 2 doing Nintendo things, Wolverine getting an actual disc, and indie developers deciding that if Nintendo won’t make Star Fox, they’ll make it themselves. discord.gg/extremegamingpodcast
