FAQ

How much is someone asking for a Steam Deck prototype on eBay?
A seller called Storm_City_Retro listed an alleged Steam Deck prototype on eBay for nearly $3,000, though they're open to best offers. It's unclear if it's legit, but it's definitely one pricey collectible!
What's the deal with the Valve Deckard VR headset?
Leaked shipping manifests suggest Valve's long-rumored standalone VR headset, the Deckard, might be launching soon. Valve has been importing equipment from Teleray Group (the same company that made gaskets for the Valve Index) to manufacture VR headset facial interfaces domestically.
Who made Schedule 1 and how successful is it?
Schedule 1 was entirely developed by a solo Australian developer named Tyler (aside from music and graffiti art). The game has sold at least a million copies since launch, frequently hitting 300,000+ concurrent players and outselling Assassin's Creed Shadows on Steam.
What happened with Path of Exile 2's Dawn of the Hunt update?
The update introduced the new Huntress class, five new ascension classes, over a hundred unique items, and major mechanic overhauls, but it triggered so much negative backlash that the game landed in 'mostly negative' reviews. Grinding Gear Games quickly released urgent updates in response.
What's happening with The Outer Worlds 2 at the Xbox Games Showcase?
The Xbox Games Showcase returns in June with The Outer Worlds 2 as the main focus, featuring a special "The Outer Worlds 2 Direct" segment with new gameplay footage, exclusive details, and behind-the-scenes access to Obsidian Entertainment.
