Valve puts some elbow grease into Steam Remote Play—maybe one day you won’t have to install additional tools to get the best in-home game streaming experience

I don’t think I’ve encountered anyone, in the wild, who actually uses Steam’s Remote Play game streaming feature since the days of the hardware Steam Link (and what tremendous days they were). In 2026, I think most people making use of in-home streaming tend to default to programs like Apollo and Moonlight. But Valve keeps […]

Stop renting storage space — this lifetime 2TB plan is yours for $59

Cloud storage costs tend to creep up over time, since most services charge monthly or annually for as long as you use them. FileJump’s Lifetime Plan skips that model entirely, offering 2TB of cloud storage for a single payment of $59 (MSRP $467). The plan includes zero-knowledge encryption, meaning files are encrypted on your device

Steam Deck sales are estimated to have plummeted by around 80% since the massive price hikes earlier this year, back of the napkin maths suggests

The Steam Deck was once a budget champion, but no longer. Ever since the price hikes earlier this year, Valve’s handheld has become difficult to argue for as a value proposition—and according to recent sales estimates by Boiling Steam, it appears that consumers may agree. The site has attempted to estimate the number of Steam

Arc Raiders’ matchmaking optimisation is live as Embark warns players they may experience longer queues than usual ‘since it’s now working harder’

The biggest thing to happen in Arc Raiders recently (if you don’t count the Expedition near miss) was Embark’s decision to rework the matchmaking to be more attuned to players’ actions in solo, duo, and trio queues. The only problem with having better matchmaking is having to wait a bit longer in queue for the

Blizzard’s calling time on Overwatch’s hero customising Stadium mode, and I may well be the only person that’s sad about that

Stadium isn’t a MOBA – don’t be fooled by that. There are no lanes or PvE enemies or anything of the kind. The MOBA link relates to abilities and equipment you buy for your character between rounds in order to power them up. That’s especially notable because you don’t do this anywhere else in Overwatch;

I use an Android phone, iPhone, and Mac. These are the 10 apps keeping me sane

Affiliate links on Android Authority may earn us a commission. Learn more. With that many multi-ecosystem devices, using the built-in or platform-exclusive apps would be a recipe for disaster. All of my data would be scattered across different apps and devices, which means I’d need to have all my devices with me at all times

ZeroSpace is an impressively ambitious RTS-RPG featuring a Helldivers 2-inspired Galactic War, but the streamer pandering is a real bummer

It’s dangerous to get too excited about a new RTS. Just look at what happened to Stormgate. So I’ve been cautious with ZeroSpace. It’s an RTS built in the classic mould—think StarCraft 2—featuring proper basebuilding and potent hero units. So far, pretty familiar. But there’s more. ZeroSpace also boasts an RPG campaign with dialogue trees
