Grand Theft Auto 6, originally slated to be released back in May, was delayed to November—the reason given at the time was “to finish the game with the level of polish you have come to expect and deserve”. And while that still very much holds true, the reality of the game’s scope and stature was…
If you read the history books of the 16th century, Sayyida al-Hurra will rarely show up. The powerful women of the Mediterranean and Islam typically don’t, except as footnotes or asides. So her leadership, piracy and plundering for her people never quite made the major texts. But the “pirate queen” of Morocco is finally receiving…

Hardware development, much like games, is all about iteration. So, it’s fair to say we wouldn’t have the Steam Machine without the Steam Deck. We recently spoke to Valve engineers Yazan Aldehayyat and Pierre-Loup Griffais, and asked them whether they felt Valve’s ongoing work on the Steam Deck meant there’d be less to fix with…
