Battlefield 6 Goes to the Pacific & The Steam Machine Ram Problem
Welcome back to Episode 52 of Boss Run! Housh here, and this week the live-service shooter landscape is completely shifting gears. We are jumping straight into the newly revealed roadmap for Battlefield 6's massive naval-focused Season 4, alongside the beginning of the end for the Black Ops 7 content cycle. Plus, I break down a massive hardware grievance with Valve’s new Steam Machine and spotlight a brand-new indie hit that is currently taking over Game Pass.Here is what we are covering on the show this week:
🛠️ The Steam Machine’s Biggest Hardware Flaw: I'm cracking open the hood of Valve’s new premium console, and we need to talk about its layout engineering. While upgrading the storage is standard fare, Valve's decision to use a single-channel RAM configuration—and how frustratingly difficult they made it to physically reach and slot in compared to a quick M.2 SSD swap—is a massive headache for hardware enthusiasts.
🪖 Battlefield 6 Season 4: EA and Battlefield Studios just dropped the massive roadmap for Season 4, and naval warfare is finally making its long-awaited return to the Pacific. Rolling out in three distinct monthly phases starting Tuesday, July 21st, we look at the sheer scale of Tsuru Reef (the biggest map in BF6 history), the licensed Top Gun crossover event hitting in August with the 10th iteration of Wake Island, and September's tight underwater infantry grids.
💥 Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Season 05: The roadmap for Season 05 is officially live, launching Thursday, July 23rd at 12 PM EDT. With Modern Warfare 4 locked in for an October 23rd release date, this is officially the beginning of the end for the BO7 content cycle. We break down the new 6v6 Japanese rural map Jubilee, the new sandbox weapons (the FG42 AR, Gremlin SMG, and Mammoth LMG), and the day-one Survival Map that wraps up the Dark Aether saga against the Warden.
🚂 Game Pass Spotlight: Denshattack!: Dropping out of nowhere on July 15th, this day-one Game Pass addition is easily the most creative thing I've played all month. Think Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater meets Jet Set Radio, except your skateboard is a multi-ton, gravity-ignoring customizable train blasting through a neon-soaked dystopian Japan. It just locked down a stellar 88 on OpenCritic, but be warned: behind the vibrant cel-shaded art and elite soundtrack is a massive, hardcore skill ceiling.
