About this episode

This episode covers a range of gaming topics including early-access games, industry news, and hardware discussions.

EGP 320 is a full-spectrum EGP episode, bouncing between early-access optimism, industry frustration, and classic hardware disappointment. Matt dives into pirate survival with Windrose, a gorgeous Sea of Thieves-meets-Valheim experiment where the biggest threat isn’t skeletons—it’s the host rage-quitting and nuking the server. HumanitZ follows, delivering brutal top-down zombie survival with almost no tutorial and a strong “good luck, idiot” energy. News gets heavier with Resident Evil 9 (Requiem) leaking early via physical copies, ongoing Ubisoft layoffs (but yes, the Splinter Cell remake still lives), and Bethesda confirming Elder Scrolls 6 is still a distant dream while Starfield 2 remains nonexistent. God of War chatter teases summer news, while hardware talk revisits DirectStorage, the revolutionary tech nobody seems to actually use. Equal parts laughs, rants, and much more! discord.gg/extremegamingpodcast
