GTA 6 Leaks, Horizon Off the Rails & Switch 2 Price Hike

EGP 346 brings another packed week of gaming news, industry chaos, retro nostalgia and one very strange simulator.

Special guest Marek from GameHo.io returns to talk about pay-as-you-play game server hosting, supported titles, upcoming additions and why multiplayer server demand tends to come in waves. The crew then digs into the latest GTA 6 leaked footage, Take-Two’s aggressive response, Netflix’s timed GTA 6 presentation, the rise of retro gaming stores, Xbox and IKEA’s bizarre furniture collaboration, and Nintendo taking down hundreds of Switch emulator repositories.

Gray unloads on Sony’s Horizon live-service experiment before discussing the strong sales of 007 First Light and a revealing SSD test showing surprisingly little gaming-performance difference between old SATA drives and modern PCIe 5.0 SSDs.

Matt reviews the bizarre petrol-station/hunting/horror management game Goo Deer (https://store.steampowered.com/app/4349210/Goo_Deer/), while Hans unveils his appropriately named “Massive Extreme” laptop cooler. The show wraps with Xbox anniversary pricing, Switch 2 price increases, Call of Duty on Switch 2, possible Assassin’s Creed Odyssey updates and three trivia questions about famous gaming leaks.
