Elden Ring is nearly a year old and has captured millions of gamers around the world. The game has recently won the Game Of The Year award at TGA 2022, adding to an impressive list of accolades for FromSoftware’s latest release. Elden Ring has been able to maintain a solid player base since its release, but many months later, the number of players went down by a significant amount on Steam.

New Hampshire Senator Maggie Hassan sent Valve a letter decrying the vast amount of white supremacist imagery in its user generated content and community spaces.

You have quite a few streaming choices for this year's upcoming Game Awards, but Valve is making its Steam TV coverage more enticing than most by giving away a ton of Steam Deck consoles. The video game developer and distributor has announced that it's giving away one 512GB Steam Deck every minute during the live airing of the awards show on December 8th.

There are a lot of reasons why people buy Steam Decks, Valve’s new portable gaming PC. It lets them take beloved Steam games on the go. Others use it to get the most out of Xbox Game Pass on PC. And some people use it to run a Nintendo Switch emulator called Yuzu. Valve admitted as much in a recent YouTube video showing off the handheld’s very Switch-like HDMI dock.

Valve seems to be going all-in on the console market with the Steam Deck. One of Valve’s designers confirmed the company is planning to develop next-gen iterations of the handheld PC, with streaming in mind.

The video gaming industry witnessed massive growth during the pandemic. However, the upward curve has come to a halt in 2022. According to the numbers presented by SafeBettngSites.com, Steam generated $3.1 billion in the first half of 2022. This figure represents a 3% year-on-year growth.

A little over a couple of weeks ago, Ubisoft announced that starting September 1st, Assassins Creed Liberation HD, will be pulled from sale, alongside a few more obscure titles.

A little more than a month ago, Valve declared it would increase the pace at which the Steam Deck portable gaming system gets shipped. That announcement, however, didn’t truly address the worries of people who had been waiting months in line to purchase a reserved home. Finally, some fantastic news for hungry fans.

Elon Musk tweeted that Tesla will be ready to show its Valve Steam video game integration as early as next month!

I used to marvel at all the indie games I could finally play. Now I've already got access to them elsewhere for cheaper.

When it comes to repairability, Valve didn’t stop at the bare minimum. We hope their smart, repairable choices become industry standard.

Are you, like me, still lost in Steam Deck pre order purgatory? Is "after Q3 2022" an infinite void swallowing up the future, with the promise of PC gaming on the go seemingly never to arrive? This video from DIY YouTube channel JerryRigEverything of one getting bent, burned, and stabbed may give you some catharsis.

Two and a half months after our Steam Deck review, Valve has finally provided the drivers you’ll need for audio if you choose to install Windows on the gaming portable. Before today, you would have had to pair Bluetooth headphones or plug in USB-C earbuds or a dongle to get any kind of audio on Windows at all. Both the speakers and 3.5mm jack did nothing on Windows before today, and it blamed AMD for the delay.

Step aside Windows 11, a vintage computer enthusiast has transformed the Steam Deck into a retro Hackintosh handheld by installing Apple macOS 7. MigaIsNotACat demonstrates the 90s operating system running on the portable powerhouse in a Twitter video, and you don’t even have to get rid of SteamOS to experience the nostalgia.

The first Steam Deck Q2 order emails just went out.

There are reasons you'd want to stick Windows onto Valve's Steam Deck. Obviously contrarianism is one. Morbid, geeky curiosity, another. Then there's a desire to play Destiny 2, Fortnite, or a bunch of Microsoft games that have been nixed from the original Linux-based SteamOS 3.0 installation. But having made the jump into Windows 11 myself this past weekend, I need to tell you none of those reasons are good enough to rob the Steam Deck of its soul.

Valve is already planning a follow-up to its hotly anticipated Steam Deck, according to the company's president Gabe Newell. Speaking to EDGE Magazine, Newell was discussing Valve's surprise when the most expensive version of the Steam Deck proved to "far and away" be the most popular version of the handheld. "That's why we always love to get something out there and ship it. Because we learn a lot from that, and it helps frame our thinking for Deck 2."

Valve CEO Gabe Newell is open to Microsoft launching its PC Game Pass service on Steam. In an interview with PC Gamer, Newell says Valve has no plans for an Xbox Game Pass competitor, but that it would be happy to work with Microsoft to bring PC Game Pass to Steam.

Valve's new handheld PC, the Steam Deck, has officially been released - but only to a select few people. The hardware was originally slated for release in December 2021, but was pushed back due to supply chain issues. Despite the hardware having been released, many orders are only available "after Q2 2022".

Elon Musk has revealed that testing is underway to potentially make Steam games playable on the screens of future Tesla cars. Over on Twitter, Musk replied to a tweet from the official Cyberpunk 2077 Twitter account, writing simply, "Great game." Then, IGN's Ryan McCaffrey took Musk's praise of Cyberpunk 2077 and ran with it, asking when we might see the recently updated version of the game come to Tesla car screens. And that's when Musk revealed that very early plans are already underway to bring the whole Steam platform to Tesla cars.
