Valve have reworded a Steam blog post after its original, unsure-sounding text left open the possibility of further long-term delays to the new Steam Machine. The 2025 Year in Review article only briefly touches on the Machine, as well as the upcoming Steam Controller redesign and the Steam Frame VR headset, but its previous phrasing of “We hope to ship in 2026” – accompanied by a reminder of ongoing and widespread memory shortages – did have the kind of noncommittal yeah-we’ll-seeism that one might apply when responding to an unwanted dinner party invitation. The grim possibility of another delay, this…
A new Quake trademark filing has been spotted out in the wild, with ZeniMax Media retying down the iconic five-letter word mark for another decade or so. Doom has recently been en vogue, but, let’s be real here, has it ever not been? Nonetheless, thanks to id Software’s rebooted series, the Slayer’s escapades have jetted to new heights.

What are the playable characters in Big Walk, the upcoming social multiplayer walker-talker game from developer House House of Untitled Goose Game fame? Having played a couple of hours at a recent hands-on in-person preview, I’m still unsure. Ants? Birds? Humans? They’ve got distorted heads with bulbous protrusions that get larger when speaking, spindly limbs, and what I can only describe as a snowman-style body of multiple orbs. It’s unclear, and House House isn’t interested in clarifying.”That’s for you to decide,” says House House developer Nico Disseldorp when I ask. “We’ve kind of left a lot of built-in ambiguity –…
When Emil Pagliarulo was growing up in South Boston, he lived in fear of Whitey Bulger: a local crime boss who had been shaped not only by street gangs but Alcatraz, and a stint in the CIA’s mind control program, MKUltra. “He was basically the boogeyman,” Pagliarulo says. “He was the evil bad guy. You didn’t know where he was or even what he looked like, but you knew he was out there. I’m 10 years old, and I know this name.” Decades later, as Bethesda Game Studios shifted into full production on Fallout 4, Pagliarulo drew on those memories…
Nvidia is reportedly set to restart production of its venerable GeForce RTX 3060 gaming GPU in a bid to find a way for PC gamers to have an affordable but reasonably up-to-date graphics card upgrade over the coming months.

Rising to the top of the most popular graphics card list on the October 2024 Steam Hardware Survey, the…
