The New Steam Controller Literally Screams for Help

About this episode

The episode covers various gaming news and hardware discussions, including the new Steam Controller and Xbox controller rumors.

EGP 332 brings Trev and Gray back for another round of gaming news, hardware talk, and just enough waffle to be legally considered breakfast. The crew digs into TSMC pushing toward smaller chip nodes, quantum computing, AI data centers, and the slightly terrifying idea that tech companies now need their own power plants. On the gaming side, they cover rumored Xbox controllers, including a cloud-focused pad and Elite Series 3, plus Valve’s new Steam Controller apparently screaming when dropped — because of course it does. There’s also talk of extreme CPU overclocking, Steam Machine storage options, Xbox dropping multiplayer paywalls, Game Pass changes, Subnautica 2’s huge launch, Amazon canceling its Lord of the Rings MMO, GTA 6 delays and pricing worries, PlayStation Plus additions, Forza Horizon in Japan, and one truly Frankenstein RTX 3070 VRAM mod.
