does that still support 10 series and older? when exactly will they not support those any more?

ROG Xbox Ally X and ROG Xbox Ally up for pre-order to take on the Steam Deck

Microsoft has set these up to be a guaranteed failure.

confusing branding: check.
lower tier is greedy upsell: check.
most expensive 'XboX' in history: check.
meager specs: check.

Not only this but the reception of these things from preview event was rather mixed. Lackluster performance and bugginess of the UI was criticized. Along with the fact that 16gb shared RAM and 512gb on the low-end model is not nearly enough for modern games. The Steam Deck might just get by with 16, but Windows itself is so bloated these days, it already eats 8 when doing nothing. They're effectively trying to sell you a Windows Steam Deck here for 600 bucks. How is that thing supposed to drive a 1080p display? Again we see a pattern here, no lessons from Valve were learned, neither in price, specs, or marketing. What a waste of sand.

Forza Horizon 6 heads to Japan and will release on Steam

Presumably there's no hope in hell of me getting Forza 4 to run on Linux if I didn't buy it before it's steam removal?
Unfortunately no, the MS Store version runs on proprietary junk called UWP that doesn't work on anything but Windows and Xbox consoles

Excitement intensifies:wub:Hopefully this will work in Linux, I played Forza 3 (Windows only) and 4 on Steam Deck where i have over 100 hours in.

Baldur's Gate 3 gets a Native Linux version to improve it on Steam Deck
24 Sep 2025 at 8:03 am UTC

I wanted to try it on Steam Deck to see how the performance is on the Native version. Unfortunately I can't even get it to work. The game consistently crashes mangohud to the point that SteamOS wasn't working any more, and I can't even get into the game because it doesn't register me pressing A.

Why do developers even bother with Native Linux when Proton exists and is a lot more stable ? This was a total waste of time.

Dying Light: The Beast rated Steam Deck Verified ahead of release

Seems to work well so far. 30ish fps in the forest starter area with Quality upscaling. For some reason the game defaults to Performance taau with FSR Framegen which is strange. Nice to see a game that is well optimized and working on release day:wub:

Steam Deck plugin adds AMD FSR4 support to improve visuals
17 Sep 2025 at 11:03 am UTC Likes: 10

And once again we have the community to thank for this, showing what is possible when you're not blinded by corpo mindsets. AMD could've unlocked FSR4 on their previous gens to reward customer loyalty, and increase their value, but they decided that their new GPUs need a selling point. Ironically this makes them look worse now from a consumer standpoint and will probably hurt their sales rather than increase them

AMDVLK has been discontinued as AMD are throwing their "full support" behind RADV

This is good news. 99% of people I know didn't even bother with AMDVLK since Mesa is superior in most cases and it ships with most distros. But there's some issues I like to see resolved in Mesa, like bad RT performance and some overall performance jankiness in games, like traversal stutter in Indiana Jones GC.
