The Steam Controller is the first of Valve’s 2026 hardware triumvirate to see the light of day, with the pad launching on May 4 this year. We’ve had our hands on the new controller, and have been really impressed with it, but it’s hard not to think about the hardware that was revealed alongside it:…
Regular readers of PC Gamer dot com slash author slash Joshua dash Wolens will know that, so far as I’m concerned, no videogames news is as exciting as “An old game is getting a patch for some reason.” Baldur’s Gate 1 and 2 hitting 2.7 out of nowhere?

But it appears, according to a former Capcom staff member, that this relationship didn’t get off…
Steam player counts are an odd metric. They can be a neat insight into a game’s initial popularity (at least on PC), and a handy way of gaining some kind of ballpark on games that keep their active playerbase numbers closer to their chest. But they’re also unceremoniously used to throw games under the bus—declaring…

Resetera user –R has spotted a rating for Hal Laboratory’s BOXBOY! + BOXGIRL! in Taiwan (via Knoebel on Bluesky)….
“There was no such word as ‘localisation.’ They were just calling it ‘text translation.’”. If you happened to play a lot of Capcom games in the ’90s and early 2000s, there’s a high probability you may have seen Takuya “Tom” Shiraiwa’s name scroll across your screen at some point in the past.
