Next-Gen SSDs, Esports Funding, Cloud Gaming, and GTA 6: The Future of Gaming Unveiled S4E31
from M2 Podcast · host M2 Podcast
In this podcast episode, the hosts delve into the emerging era of PCIe Gen 5 solid state drives (SSDs), exploring their potential impact on PC gaming and workflow optimization. Tom Warren has been rigorously testing Crucial's T700 PCIe Gen 5.0 NVMe SSD and Seagate's FireCuda 540, aiming to uncover the tangible benefits of this latest storage generation. With theoretical read speeds of up to 14,000MBps, these Gen 5 SSDs offer a remarkable 75% increase over their Gen 4 counterparts. The conversation then shifts to esports organization Sentinels, which has initiated a crowdfunding campaign on StartEngine. Despite its success and popularity, Sentinels faces financial challenges attributed to significant expenditures on salaries for players, staff, and content creators. Microsoft's recent decision to shorten its $1 Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass trials from a month to 14 days also comes under scrutiny, coinciding with the impending release of Starfield. Sony's surprise launch of a public beta test for PS5 cloud gaming, boasting up to 4K resolution, garners attention and speculation about its potential implications. Lastly, the discussion centers on the much-anticipated Grand Theft Auto 6, with Take-Two Interactive's reaffirmation of a potential 2024 launch window fueling rumors and anticipation within the gaming community. 0:00 Intro 0:25 Update 10:35 The first PCIe Gen 5 drives https://tinyurl.com/bdhvv9vb 24:39 Sentinels’ Financial Woes Continue https://tinyurl.com/wx53terw 42:22 Xbox Game Pass trials before Starfield’s release https://tinyurl.com/yckza3w6 46:56 Sony is now streaming PS5 games https://tinyurl.com/yxm5pbhv 55:02 2024 GTA 6 Release Date Window https://tinyurl.com/3a6d3brj 1:04:54 Outro Leave a LIKE and a comment, thanks for watching/listening! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PODCAST ►► https://anchor.fm/m2podcast AMAZON Music ► https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/091902c3-b83b-487c-8fe7-4c96787434fe/M2-Podcast APPLE ► https://podcasts.apple.com/podcast/id1531832410 BREAKER ► https://www.breaker.audio/m2-podcast-2 CASTRO ► https://castro.fm/podcast/6f69d373-d879-46d9-9f1c-bcf7c4bf1741 GOOGLE ► https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy8zNTYwNWZiMC9wb2RjYXN0L3Jzcw== OVERCAST ► https://overcast.fm/itunes1531832410/m2-podcast POCKETCASTS ► https://pca.st/5jghvf6e RADIOPUBLIC ► https://radiopublic.com/m2-podcast-GMZkY4 SPOTIFY ► https://open.spotify.com/show/2VedhO03IRoHERJqF6Sy87 STICHER ► https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/m2-podcast TUNEIN ► http://tun.in/pj3ZI #podcast JOIN THE DISCORD! ►► https://discord.gg/Kp5Gre6 FOLLOW THE TWITTER! ►►https://twitter.com/m2_podcast KyleHeath Socials: TWITTER ►► https://twitter.com/mrjkheath MadMikeWillEatU Socials: TWITTER ►► https://twitter.com/madmikewilleatu
