We may see a Steam Deck refresh with WiFi 6E

All of the above proposed refresh would be nice, but I personnally would like to see them replace the 64/256/512 by something similar to 256/512/1tb storage options. Quite sure it would still fit in the same price brackets; the nvme 2230 prices have rocketed down since the Steam Deck release.

AMD FSR 3 arrived today in two games - source code later

With a little luck, AMD kept Valve in the loop and they are already working on a fix to support it.

Give it a couple of days? *Fingers crossed*

Epic Games sheds 830 people due to 'spending way more money than we earn'

This and this. It makes total sense. Times are hard at Epic and I'm not the one to be sad about it. They dig their own grave. This shady company could be driven through the ground, for my part.

More teasers appear for upcoming Valve hardware

Quoting: slaapliedjeThese days we have powerful NUC-likes that are small enough to stick under a TV.
Yep! But Valve can sell them much cheaper and support one set of hardware with SteamOS, instead of as many hardware config as there are mini NUC systems. I don't think Valve wants to support all the PC configurations available anymore.

This said, PS5 are Oberron (7nm) and Oberron+ (6nm) Van Gogh apus. A Deckard console with that kind of spec at a similar price would be an unbelievable value offering, imo... Where is my wallet?

Edit: And there is more to it than just a console. From the leaks, Valve would custom taylor this console to enhance the VR headset support with wireless support (VR Link). Some infos seem to point to something similar to a Snapdragon XR2 Chipset that could analyze and relay motion informations to the main cpu (similar to the overpriced Apple VR headset). Sorry paraphrasing SadlyItsBradley.
Right, if you had quoted the rest of my post, that's what I said. One standard system matching the Steam Deck as a box that sits under the TV. Have the portable and not portable versions, a controller for the not portable system have all the features of the Steam Deck. Also, I think they should call it a Steam Block. Just a suggestion... :P
Ok. Sorry. I misinterpreted what you meant by that phrase, in this case.

Steam Block or Deckard Pal? Wasn't there a mention of Pal, somewhere in leaks, some time ago?

Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition arrives on Steam in 'early 2024'
27 Sep 2023 at 1:01 pm UTC

I'm going to get it for sure. HZD is a really great game and I was looking forward to Horizon Forbidden West. It figures in my top best games with Witcher 3, CP2077 and God of War... Spiderman not far behind.

Edit: ... With the late Lance Reddick... Liked him a lot in Fringe.

Valve overhauled Steam Deck 'As Mouse' Gyro option in new Beta
22 Sep 2023 at 12:37 pm UTC Likes: 2

Gyro with Stick is pretty confusing. I always tend to do both and it ends up doing nothing good. Gyro with trackpad is much better, because I don't have the reflexe to move my finger on the trackpad, while using the gyro. In that case, it's only Gyro and it works great.

This said, using the Gyro on the Steam Deck means that you are moving the screen... Sometimes it gets at weird viewing angles... It's much better suited for a standard controller, like the Steam Controller, imo.

Steam Deck a 'stable target for a couple years' so no Steam Deck 2 for a while
22 Sep 2023 at 12:28 pm UTC

we're not really seeing growth stop after COVID, so for us it's really important to keep working on the current version of the Steam Deck, put together software updates we just released a big SteamOS 3.5 update that's added new features we're going to keep doing that...
Are they talking about Steam as a whole or the Steam Deck sales figures? The first is great, but the latter would be awesome news.

Unity apologises for the new runtime fee, say they will make changes

Hahaha! What's the next step? The managment will be sent away on a golden parachute and Unity will be sold to a new group to start on a "clean slate"? The whole thing smells of a quick buck and sabotage looking for an exit door, from the upper management.
