Some releases to look forward to in 2026
5 Jan 2026 at 9:20 pm UTC

I hope DRG rogue core releases in early access this year, dying to try it.

Also looking forward to ALL WILL FALL and Planetenverteidigungskanonenkommandant.

Quoting: Doktor-MandrakeI might pick up Lego Skywalker saga over the sale to continue with that splitscreen/couch co-op fun
In case you missed it, lego voyagers recently released (split fiction like).

Steam Replay is live and notes only 14% "of playtime spent by all Steam users" was for 2025 releases

only 14% of gaming was "spent by all Steam users in new releases (games released in 2025)
Personally I enjoyed Split fiction and DRG survivor from this year. Tried and refunded a few games, most of them were some combination of buggy, overpriced, uninteresting, unoptimised and so on.

If your time and wallet are finite, you're simply better off buying games a couple years after release.

The Game Awards 2025 nominees revealed

Impressed by the number of nominations for Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. The game that came out of nowhere and went straight to the top. Bonus points for being the only new franchise amongst the GOTY nominees.

Must confess that I haven't play the game, but the track "Lumière" is phenomenal (go watch the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LpNVf8sczqU [External Link] ).

Anti-cheat will still be one of the biggest problems for the new Steam Machine
14 Nov 2025 at 8:29 pm UTC Likes: 1

One question, could we not just sign the linux kernel and other parts, so that the anti cheat program would know that nothing has been altered? I am thinking about something like steam hosting a list of trusted hashes and that any company that is trusted by steam can push new hashes for theier compiled linux kernels there.
If kernel "protection" (or any client side system) is required to ensure people don't cheat, then how come there are so few billionaires ? After all, one can easily access their bank account without installing any rootkit kernel anti-cheat.

Game devs need to stop caring about what the client do and start caring about what their server receives, just like every other online service.

I hope EU outright ban kernel level anti-cheats (or any other government, EU is just the most likely to have the hooompf).

It would force the devs and publishers to actually do their homework and help linux gaming as a side bonus.

One man can dream.
