Bloodborne progress on Steam Deck is looking so good. They said this wouldn't be playable Deck at all, but look at this!!
Much love to Deck Wizard for continuing to keep us updated on this.
NEW: Nintendo is suing the creators of popular Switch emulator Yuzu, saying their tech illegally circumvents Nintendo's software encryption and facilitates piracy.
Seeks damages for alleged violations and a shutdown of the emulator.
Thank you
@GoldenJoysticks

Reddit for numerous reasons, it's a shame to see that they have blacklisted our website entirely without explanation.
Luckily, we do have our own subreddit, but it's a shame to see it regardless.
I firmly believe that
@StarFire2258
wrote the best initial Steam Deck review at launch, and I think he's done it again with his review of the Ally. He covers conveniences we're used to with the Steam Deck that I suspect a lot of other places won't cover.
This is huge. Look at all the games that get HDR compatibility with this update:
Resident Evil 2
Resident Evil 3
Resident Evil 7 Biohazard
Resident Evil Village
Hogwarts Legacy
Mass Effect Legendary Edition
Injustice 2
Alan Wake 2
Devil May Cry 5
Ghost of Tsushima is coming to PC on May 16

The Deck Gang has spoken! Thanks for getting me to 90k subs - we made it to the last boss before 100k. But seriously - thank you. I love making these videos and it's really cool to have an audience that rocks with me.
Remember the 1200p display replacement for the Steam Deck?
Well they just put up this site and you can join the waitlist! The estimated price is $99 which is as much as a normal screen replacement from iFixIt. I'm a little initimidated by a screen mod but I'm willing to try it.
Good morning! It's been around a month since Steam Deck launched, and we've been listening to feedback and pushing updates at a steady clip. Here's a quick look at everything that's been added and improved to Steam Deck since launch!
Hi all, don't forget to register for the Steam Deck giveaway during tomorrow's
@thegameawards
, where we're giving a 512GB Steam Deck away every minute to folks watching the show at .
Sign up here, and see you tomorrow!
Even if that Steam Deck 2 leak was real, there's really not much meat on the bone there.
I think the main thing to keep in mind is that we had no idea Zen 2 could be as power efficient as it is until we saw the Steam Deck because no one really wanted that APU until Valve did.
Yesterday, I passed on some news about SteamOS being announced for AYANEO Next Lite. Unfortunately they're using a variant of HoloISO (see pics). I'm happy to see them attempt this and would like to see more of it but also would like to see official Valve support. C'mon Valve!
Today is the day! We’re getting our button pushing fingers ready, and the team is excited for folks to get Steam Deck OLED in their hands soon. Orders open at 10:00 AM (PST) for all models.
The moment is finally here - today's update to the Beta channel includes Steam Deck icons in the Friends List for your friends on Deck!
Also, while you're in the Beta channel, make sure to check out Family Sharing and Game Recording, and let us know what you think.
A new Yuzu Progress Report is available and it details some fixes that once again help Tears play even better, especially on integrated GPUs, like the Steam Deck.
Thanks for all the work
@yuzuemu
team!
Very happy to announce that Bazzite will have Day 0 support for the ROG Ally X. I had a small part in making this happen by being the dummy that got to report bugs to some of the Bazzite devs. Video coming soon!
Many thanks to

for putting up with my informal reports!
If you're having trouble getting Big Picture Mode to work on Desktop. Make sure you do these 3 steps:
1 - Opt into Steam Client Beta
2 - Add the -gamepadui param
3 - Check for updates
THIS is how we bring back the idea of couch co-op gaming in the modern age!
Apple Vision Pro's Spatial Personas paired with Steam's Remote Play Together feature allows me and

I had a conversation about the Ally with
@SteamDeckHQ
and
@CryoByte33
. This was a fun chat and I really hope to see Windows get better for handheld gaming.
Did you know that Time Crisis 5 can be played natively on PC despite never having received a home version? That's because the Arcade version is just an Unreal Engine 3 game running on Windows, and the best part is that it can be played with a mouse.
Has Sony given up on the Steam Deck? You need a Deck LCD + Win11 to play Concord on Deck.
Sony has supported the Deck w games like Spider-Man promoting how well it plays. But now, Sony games require a launcher that breaks compatibility.

Valve has been working on 'game recording clips', but there's not enough details to figure out how it will work. Probably recording and sharing clips from Steam client?
And they're preparing to ship the redesigned cart to beta client users.
Wait... Is everyone now claiming that Phil has been bad for Xbox? That feels like a bad take given everything Phil has done to correct course from late 360 and early Xbone days.
The scam site

is trying to bury my video on them. I will be fighting this. This isn’t right

it is a very clear Steam / Steam Deck scam site we are warning people about.
Beware of very current ROG Ally benchmarks.
@StarFire2258
alluded to performance degradation in his updated review over on The Verge and it appears to be related to the Day 0 Bios Update. This update cuts performance by as much as 33% and could be fixed in an upcoming update.

Since when does Valve code-name minor SteamOS updates?
(Tagging

because he got me wondering if Valve is currently being secretive with their updates)
I love Aftermath. I'm in the minority, but I agree.
"While I wouldn’t fault anyone at Valve for being a bit pissed at this situation, I’d call this journalism functioning as intended: honestly obtaining true information that matters to readers."
Horizon Forbidden West is coming to PC early next year. Nixxes is handling the port, and the “complete edition” of the game will also be launching on the PS5 in October
The Yuzu devs settled to avoid discovery. They were going to get fucked with multiple infringements for making roms and distributing them between the Yuzu devs, often pre-release of the game. They allegedly had a rom stash on their discord too. Nintendo ninjas were inside the
As promised, here's a thread of what I found that is wrong with the Perfect Dark release on Nintendo Switch Online:
First thing I noticed as usual is the sound, it's way too low compared to N64 and this is not a settings issue, as explosions were equally deafening.
