After seeing the challenges with the first Steam Machines, we realized we needed to better support our developers. That’s why we created Proton – it’s a tool that allows games designed for Windows to run on Linux systems,” explained engineer Yazan Aldehayyat in an interview with Rock Paper Shotgun.
We recently got to play Metroid Prime 4: Beyond on the new Switch 2. The first demo was a fast-paced tutorial where Samus helped Federation troops under attack – it was designed to show off both the game and the console, and it made a great impression. This second hands-on experience came shortly after that, and while still early in the game, it allowed us to explore some of the key gameplay elements that Metroid fans will recognize.
Rockstar Games, known for popular titles like Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption, is facing criticism after laying off several employees. While the company says the firings were due to employee misconduct, a leading UK union claims Rockstar let these workers go because they were trying to form a union.

Okay, so AI is everywhere now, right? I mean, it’s not just sci-fi anymore. I use it all the time to double-check stuff I read online.

There’s this lawsuit against OpenAI and Microsoft, and it claims ChatGPT actually wrote an outline for a whole new chapter, like a ‘what if?’ scenario from the existing story. It’s wild to think an AI could contribute to something like that!
Steam stats reveal how players are experiencing ARC Raiders. Specifically, only about 43% have earned the “Unyielding” achievement, which requires defeating 10 other players. This suggests that over half of the game’s players don’t often participate in player-versus-player combat.

Light machine guns aren’t typically known for their accuracy—they’re usually all about raw power and spraying bullets. However, the KTS stands out. It’s become popular with players who want both firepower and precision, as many weapon builds force you to choose between the two.
