Valve's Steam just seem to be unstoppable lately, with another huge user milestone achieved over the weekend.

Valve appear to have some pretty ambitious future plans for Steam, as we've seen recently in a leak (and not for the first time) that Valve has plans for ARM64 and Android support on Linux.

Valve released another small update to SteamOS 3.6 Beta for Steam Deck, bringing two small but important fixes as we're firmly on the road to the stable release.

Wine 9.18 released September 20th is the latest development release of the Windows compatibility layer that brings new features and bug fixes.

Raising awareness for One Special Day, there's a new One Special Bundle - Humble Bundle with a selection of really great games included.

Recently, we had the news that Rockstar updated Grand Theft Auto V to include BattlEye anti-cheat, and they have not enabled the Linux / Proton support that BattlEye offers. With that change, the online mode is now broken for Linux / Steam Deck. This just highlights an ongoing problem with the Steam Deck verification system.

Pocketpair, developers of Palworld, have put up a statement on the new lawsuit that has been filed against them from Nintendo and The Pokemon Company.

The latest update to the GNOME desktop environment has been released, with GNOME 47 bringing some really quite lovely sounding improvements.

Quite a big surprise, but truly a welcome one, and a great one for game developers. Microsoft are moving more towards open standards by adopting SPIR-V for DirectX.

You might want to grab a big bucket of popcorn for this one, as the big fight is about to begin. Nintendo and The Pokémon Company have formally gone after Palworld maker Pocketpair.

The Humble Indie.io Super Bundle is live with 13 games for a really low price, and it seems to be quite a good deal for what's there.

GOG have announced some bad news across two separate announcements, with a total of 29 games that are going to be delisted this month.

PAX Aus have announced their 2024 line-up and it's absolutely packed with big names. Curiously, even Valve for Steam will be attending.

Valve released another stable Steam Client update for Desktop and Steam Deck, just a few quick-fixes but sounds like they were needed.

Here's a fun one for you. What do you do when you're a game developer and your laptop dies? Use your Steam Deck to continue developing of course.

Midwinter Entertainment and Behaviour Interactive Inc. were working on Project T, a spin-off from the popular Dead by Daylight but it's now been shelved.

For those of you who subscribe to Amazon Prime, you would do well to remember that Prime Gaming exists and there's quite a few free games available to claim for keeps right now.

In a similar spirit to Freedoom, for Quake fans perhaps you'll want to take a look at LibreQuake, which aims to do a similar thing to allow you to play Quake content with completely open source software.

Recently I had the opportunity to sit down and have a chat with Noah Kupetsky of Steam Deck HQ to talk about all sorts of things.

Running through until September 23rd at 5PM UTC — the Steam Planes, Trains, and Automobiles Fest has now launched. That's right, another mini-festival of discounts, demos and more.
