A bug’s letting Warframe players summon their newly-added motorcycles in more areas than intended, but the devs say it’s ‘rad and cool’ enough to stay—as long as the bikes aren’t in outer space
There’s a lot to love in Warframe 1999, the latest major update for the free-to-play scifi action game about magic space ninjas, mutant biotechnical horrors, and more pregnancy than you might expect.

Only 15% of all Steam users’ time was spent playing games released in 2024
The Steam end-of-year review always throws up some interesting numbers, and with 2024’s stats now out, it prompts some interesting reflections on how we game, both individually and en masse. On a personal level, it turns out I’ve played about 50% fewer games on Steam than last year (I blame Game Pass, emulation, and my…

With a physical edition to boot. If you’re a fan of Undertale, then chances are you may have heard of OFF, even if you’ve yet to actually play it. Creator Toby Fox often cites the RPG as a huge influence on Undertale, and now the 2008 cult hit is making its way to the Switch….
7 years after unique puzzle brawler Battle Chef Brigade, its creators are back with another offbeat genre mash-up: ‘People like card games, hopefully they like card games that have really good characters’
In 2017, Battle Chef Brigade was the kind of indie hit that’s increasingly rare on the packed Steam store of 2024.
