Steam Beta adds Remote Downloads Management
3 Apr 2026 at 11:14 am UTC

Quoting: PyronickThis new remote download feature in the Steam Beta looks incredibly useful, but it honestly just makes me wish we could do the exact same thing directly through steamcmd remotely.

Being able to manage this on a TTY via SSH, or through a web interface like Cockpit, would be a game-changer. Even better would be an accessible CLI structure so we could easily wrap our own DIY bash/Python scripts or a custom web dashboard around it.
I don't recall how exactly but I can start downloads on steam's website

Quoting: Liam DaweExtraction shooters live and die by their end game a lot of the time.
I'll admit I didn't know that.

The biggest problem for ARC Raiders still remains though - there's basically no end-game to it. Once you've unlocked all the blueprints and played a fair bit of it, there's not much that actually keeps you going. Apart from the fun factor of course
Is this really a problem though? If you could "beat" the game would you still want to play it after beating it? I'm saying this as someone with 160h on Embark's other game which is pvp and naturally doesn't have an end game, just new rewards with every season (3.5 months)

Quoting: KrejsyLainenHow is this a thing? Almost every gamedeveloper nowadays are using unreal engine + they have the epic store, how are they this impacted by just Fortnite losing players?
I was also confused by the letter describing epic as if it is "fortnite company". They have their store, UE with its own royalty fees, some subsidiaries.

How time flies, I did the same and I don't even recall when I stopped. Perhaps it was around the time the subreddit had its mod changed and became like instagram

Quoting: UltraVioletI wonder if there will be a paid version for more / unlimited data? Makes sense and I’ll happily pay it.
I wonder if this feature will come to mobile as well at some point?

Quoting: eggroleThere is a youtube channel I recently discovered while looking into this. Threat Interactive. I can't vouch for everything he says as a lot of it is above my paygrade, but his conclusions on how modern devs are totally slacking off and relying on the bait-and-switch of framegen seems spot on.

Threat Interactive have their problems of their own :(
