The latest release of the all-in-one game manager Lutris is here, with v0.5.13 bringing with it some important features like new store integrations.

Steam Sports Fest has officially begun (I'm a little late on that) and it runs until May 22nd, so you've got plenty of time to check it out.

Two bits of Steam news for you here, as Valve continue iterating on Steam features for players and developers.

Fanatical do a Bundle Fest every now and then, where a new bundle of games is announced every day for a week and the first is the Killer Bundle 26.

Seems the indie team at Soda Den are having some issues with their publisher Crytivo, and their fight has caused Roots of Pacha to be removed from Steam for now.

There shouldn’t be any arguments when I claim that the original Diablo was a masterpiece. Launched in the 90’s, it defined a new genre of dungeon crawling, successfully mixing traditional Rogue/Nethack elements with beautiful visuals, real-time combat, class selection, an innovative loot system, and haunting music. Let’s look at the series as a whole, and the genre it largely created.

Time for a bit of weekend Wine? The translation layer for running Windows games and apps on Linux and other platforms development release v8.8 is out now.

Mechabellum is a new Early Access release from Game River and Paradox Arc (the publishing arm of Paradox Interactive). It's an auto-battler like say Dota Underlords and Auto Chess, but with big mech units with battles like Supreme Commander.

DXVK translates Direct3D 9 / 10 and 11 into Vulkan for Proton and Wine, used on Linux desktop and Steam Deck for gaming.

Well, I've been waiting to see what the public official word would be on Dead by Daylight and now it's official. Dead by Daylight is now Steam Deck Verified.

The Last of Us Part I from Naughty Dog has another big performance patch out, and the result on Steam Deck is quite surprising. But the Steam Deck still suffers from a major problem.

D8VK translates Direct3D 8 to Vulkan, just like DXVK for Direct3D 9 / 10 / 11 and VKD3D-Proton for Direct3D 12 used with Wine and Proton on Linux and Steam Deck. Fantastic to see the progress on this.

Since there's so much happening and it can be hard to keep track, here's a little round-up of some happenings with the Steam Deck (and Steam as a whole) plus a little gaming news.

GE-Proton 8-2 is the latest release of the community-made version of Proton, the translation layer from Valve for Steam Deck and Linux desktop.

A rather great sounding update to Proton Experimental landed on May 5th, so here's a run over what's new and improved.

Some potentially great news for Dead by Daylight fans, as it seems Behaviour Interactive have finally made the switch with their anti-cheat to allow Steam Deck and Linux desktop players in.

Continuing my quest to have no free time ever, I have been checking out Soul Survivors that's now available in Early Access. It may be yet another Vampire Survivor-like but that's not a bad thing at all.

Another juicy milestone for Valve with the Steam Deck, as it now has over 9,000 games rated as either Verified or Playable.

GE-Proton has a new release out with 8-1, which is mainly pulling in a whole bunch of improvements from Proton 8 and Proton Experimental.

Having some troubles with Epic Games on the Heroic Games Launcher? You weren't alone and a new hotfix is out to get it sorted.
