ARC Raiders is officially playable on the Steam Deck: Valve’s Proton 10.0-3 update has cleared the compatibility roadblocks that forced Deck owners to rely on community Proton forks, and the extraction shooter that dominated 2025’s launch conversation is now carrying its momentum into portable...

Valve’s new Steam Machine landing in the living room — a compact, SteamOS‑first mini‑PC that promises a plug‑and‑play console feel while keeping the openness of a PC — has sparked a serious reappraisal of whether Windows 11 can remain the default platform for mainstream PC gaming. Background /...

Valve has quietly re-entered the living‑room hardware race with a compact, SteamOS‑first mini‑PC called the Steam Machine, accompanied by a new Steam Controller, and a long‑rumored VR headset (the Steam Frame, formerly "Deckard")—a lineup that aims to bring Steam, PC flexibility, and...

Valve's living-room return to PC gaming landed as a compact, SteamOS-powered cube that promises a console‑style plug‑and‑play experience with desktop-class silicon — a six‑core Zen 4 CPU, 16 GB DDR5, and a semi‑custom RDNA 3 GPU with 28 compute units and 8 GB of GDDR6 — engineered to hit 4K/60...

Valve’s new Steam Machine is being presented as a compact, living‑room‑friendly way to run your Steam library — built and sold by Valve, powered by SteamOS and Proton, and explicitly positioned as a reference device that Valve hopes will invite other companies, modders, and everyday PC builders...

Valve’s new Steam Machine promises console‑style convenience with PC performance, but the one‑line truth for multiplayer fans is blunt: the Steam Machine will inherit the Steam Deck’s anti‑cheat problem unless publishers, anti‑cheat vendors and Valve change course — and right now the technical...

Valve’s surprise hardware salvo landed like a thunderclap: a compact new Steam Machine that Valve says is “over 6x more powerful than the Steam Deck,” built to deliver 4K/60 gaming in a palm-sized cube and accompanied by a refreshed Steam Controller and the Steam Frame VR headset. Early hands‑on...

Linux gaming has quietly hit a milestone: Valve’s October Steam Hardware & Software Survey shows Linux at 3.05% of active Steam users for the first time, a symbolic but meaningful jump that reflects the combined effects of the Steam Deck/SteamOS ecosystem, better compatibility tooling (Proton)...

The Steam community’s October 2025 snapshot finally pushed Linux over the psychological 3% mark on Valve’s monthly Hardware & Software Survey, a milestone that matters because it’s driven largely by Valve’s own Steam Deck ecosystem and the continuing expansion of SteamOS Holo—an outcome that...

Steam's October 2025 Hardware & Software Survey shows a clear — and consequential — reshaping of the PC gaming landscape: Windows 11 is now the majority OS among Steam users, but a substantial minority remain on Windows 10 while Linux has crossed the 3% mark on Steam for the first time, driven...

Microsoft’s deadline is now unavoidable: Windows 10 will stop receiving regular security updates on October 14, 2025, and the immediate fallout in India—where millions of machines still run Windows 10—has forced consumers, small businesses, and large organisations into a compressed set of...

Windows 10 will stop receiving free security fixes on October 14, 2025 — and if your PC can’t take the free Windows 11 upgrade, you have five realistic paths forward: enroll in Extended Security Updates (ESU), buy or rent a new Windows 11 PC (including cloud PCs), perform an unsupported upgrade...

A surprising pattern is emerging as the Windows 10 end‑of‑support deadline approaches: publicly available telemetry and independent trackers show measurable growth in Linux desktop usage, while community projects, vendors, and security firms are actively encouraging migration — but the evidence...

Valve has set a firm deadline: beginning January 1, 2026, the Steam desktop client will no longer be supported on 32‑bit editions of Windows — effectively ending the platform’s last mainstream accommodation for 32‑bit Windows and giving the tiny remaining cohort of users a hard migration clock...

Valve will stop supporting 32‑bit editions of Windows for the Steam desktop client on January 1, 2026, a decision that effectively ends a long era of 32‑bit platform compatibility while imposing a clear migration deadline for the tiny fraction of users still running Windows 10 (32‑bit)...

Valve will stop supporting 32‑bit versions of Windows for the Steam client on January 1, 2026, effectively ending official updates, security patches, and technical support for the tiny slice of users still running Windows 10 32‑bit; existing Steam installations may continue to launch for a time...

Steam’s decision to stop supporting 32‑bit versions of Windows on January 1, 2026 closes the last major chapter of 32‑bit desktop gaming on the platform and forces a small—but real—slice of users to migrate or accept an unsupported, increasingly risky configuration. Background Valve’s Steam...

Valve’s Steam client will stop supporting 32‑bit versions of Windows on January 1, 2026 — a change that’s technically sensible, strategically predictable, and narrowly impactful for most players, but which carries an outsized risk for the small group still running Windows 10 (32‑bit) unless...

Valve has put a firm date on the end of an era: beginning January 1, 2026, Steam will stop supporting 32‑bit editions of Windows, leaving Windows 10 32‑bit — the last commonly supported 32‑bit Windows SKU — on an officially unsupported path and urging the tiny fraction of players still running...

Valve will stop supporting Steam on 32‑bit Windows systems on January 1, 2026 — a move that affects a vanishingly small slice of the PC gaming population but signals a permanent industry shift away from 32‑bit desktop platforms and toward exclusive 64‑bit support. Background The end of Steam's...
