Valve's Steam Frame Will Support Android Games

Game News - Thu, 11/13/2025 - 12:26

Valve has unveiled its first look at its new gaming machines, including Steam Frame, a virtual reality headset that can handle VR and non-VR games. Apparently, Steam Frame is also being used as a way to bring Android games directly to Steam users.

According to The Verge, Valve will support and encourage developers to bring Android apps to Steam. As part of this initiative, Valve will release a Steam Frame developer kit for developers who already use Android APKs for apps and VR headsets on Android phones.

"From the user's perspective, our preference is that they don't even have to think about it," explains Valve engineer Jeremy Selan. "They just have their titles on Steam, they download them and hit play ... They're really VR developers who want to publish their VR content, and they're porting a mobile VR title where they're already familiar with how to make those APKs. They are now free to bring those to Steam, and they'll just work on this device."

Former Nintendo Exec Was Surprised By Switch 2 Launch Lineup

Game News - Thu, 11/13/2025 - 09:53

Even former Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime was surprised by the somewhat sparse launch lineup of the Nintendo Switch 2.

"I wouldn't be completely honest if [I didn't say] from a business perspective, when I first saw that lineup, I scratched my head a little bit," said Fils-Aime--who served as Nintendo of America's president and chief operating officer from 2006 until he retired in 2019--during an interview with The Game Business. "But I think certainly what I underestimated was the enhanced performance, the enhanced Nintendo Switch 1 content, I think has been compelling. The stuff that you get for free as part of the Nintendo Switch Online subscription, I think that has helped drive some of the momentum. And then certainly Bananza was a key driver for them."

When the original Switch launched in 2017, it was accompanied by The Legend of Zelda: Breathe of the Wild and joined later in the year by Super Mario Odyssey. Switch 2's big launch title was Mario Kart World in June 2025, followed by Donkey Kong Bananza a month later. But while many didn't consider those games to be system sellers, they were both hits with players and critics alike.

With Toy Story 5 heading to theaters next June, there will undoubtedly be a plethora of new toys and accessories themed around the Pixar series in the coming months. But if you're looking for a gift for a Toy Story fan this holiday season, Lego designed an absolutely adorable building set this year. Released in June with a $40 retail price, the Toy Story Celebration Train & RC Car Lego set is on sale for $32 (was $40) at Amazon, Walmart, and Target.

This is the first deal we've seeno for the 206-piece Toy Story Lego set. Unsurprisingly, it has been one of the most popular Disney Lego sets since launch. If you're interested in this deal, you probably shouldn't wait. The Toy Story set is currently on backorder (again) at the Lego Store--and it's not even discounted there.

Lego Disney Pixar: Toy Story Celebration Train & RC Car (206 Pieces) $32 (was $40)

The Toy Story Celebration Train & RC Car features Lego minifigures of Woody, Jessie, Buzz Lightyear, and Bo Peep. The train cars resemble parade floats themed around the three riders. There's a western-style train engine for Jessie, a classy seesaw for Bo Beep, and a spaceship for Buzz.

When the train cars are fully built and connected, the Celebration Train is roughly 12.5 inches long, 2 inches wide, and 4 inches tall.

But the coolest part of this Lego set is RC, the remote-control car character from the movies. It has a seat for the Woody minifigure and a small rocket connected to the back--a reference to the famous scene from the original Toy Story movie.

The Toy Story Celebration Train & RC Car was designed for young kids who are new to Lego. It's part of Lego's line of preschooler toys for kids ages four and up. It has multiple preassembled starter bricks and a pictorial instruction booklet that makes it easy for preschoolers to build. An interactive 3D version of the instruction booklet is available for free on the Lego Builder app.

How Much Will Steam Machine Cost? Here's What Valve Had To Say About Pricing

Game News - Thu, 11/13/2025 - 06:27

As part of Valve's big hardware announcements today, the company did not disclose a price for the new Steam Machine device. Hardware engineer Yazan Aldehayyat was asked in an interview about what Valve's position is, at a high level, regarding pricing, and Aldehayyat said the aim is to land at a "competitive price" that matches up with the value provided. This is what most companies say about their new products, and Valve is following suit. The aim, he said, is to make it "affordable."

"If you're trying to make a PC that has similar features and similar performance, I think the Steam Machine is going to be a really competitive price to that and provide really good value to it," he told IGN.

Aldehayyat said affordability is a key concern for many today, maybe more than ever, as inflation ticks up and concerns remain ongoing due to the impact of tariffs.

Arc Raiders Adds Duo-Queue Matchmaking

Game News - Thu, 11/13/2025 - 06:25

Less than two weeks after its official launch, Arc Raiders now has duo matchmaking. Developer Embark Studios quietly tested the feature before fully unveiling it to players and explaining how it works.

In a post on Arc Raiders' official site, the devs noted that duo matchmaking "is not a 100% guaranteed system." Solo players and squads are prioritized to play separately, and duos are ideally paired up with other duos, while trios get to play bands of trios. However, Embark warns that "you may at times run into differing constellations of players other than your own."

Following up on feedback from fans, Embark will lower the prices on some of the cosmetic items in the store starting on November 13. Anyone who purchased items for their original price will be refunded the difference.

Xbox Boss Phil Spencer Praises Valve's New Hardware That Sorta Looks Like "Leaked" Xbox

Game News - Thu, 11/13/2025 - 05:43

Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer has weighed in with his thoughts on Valve's just-announced new line of gaming hardware, saying the company welcomes the new Steam Frame and Steam Machine devices.

"Gaming moves forward when players and developers have more ways to play and create, especially across open platforms. Expanding access across PC, console, and handheld devices reflects a future built on choice, core values that have guided Xbox's vision from the start," he said. "As one of the largest publishers on Steam, we welcome new options for players to access games everywhere."

Another Xbox employee, senior social marketing manager Josh Stein, said the new Steam Machine device bears a resemblance to the leaked images of the Xbox Series S, which didn't turn out to be real.

Game News - Thu, 11/13/2025 - 05:29

Simpsons season is the talk of the Fortnite town right now, but this crossover event is only gonna last four weeks. Before we know it, Epic's metaverse will be moving on to something else. And that something is Chapter 7, which will introduce a new season of battle royale with an entirely new map and a loot pool full of weapons we've never seen before.

The start of a new chapter is the biggest happening in Fortnite each year, and there's no reason to expect it to be any different this year. Let's take a look at what we know so far, which is actually more than usual this far out.

Arc Raiders Turnabout Quest Guide

Game News - Thu, 11/13/2025 - 05:16

For the Arc Raiders Turnabout quest, Celeste has asked you to visit the North Trench Tower in Spaceport and upload some blackmail files. It sounds like risky business, but that's par for the course in Arc Raiders. In this guide, we'll fill you in on what you need to know about the Turnabout quest and how to complete it.

Note that when you accept this quest, Celeste will provide you with one Spaceport Trench Tower Key. This key must be in your inventory during the raid to complete this quest. Since you'll be heading to a quest area that may be populated with other raiders, it's probably best to toss your Spaceport Trench Tower Key in a safe pocket.

If you lose the Spaceport Trench Tower Key, you'll be unable to complete the quest until you obtain another. As with nearly all keys in Arc Raiders, the drop rate is fairly low and random--though many players seem to have their best luck finding keys in residential areas. If you've lost your key, we're wishing you luck on finding a new one soon, raider.

Fortnite Added A Pile Of Absurd New Simpsons Guns This Week

Game News - Thu, 11/13/2025 - 05:14

Fortnite's Simpsons season, which took over Battle Royale last week with a new Springfield-themed island map, got a welcome injection of new cartoonish weapons you can wield against your enemies in this week's update. The loot pool now includes Bart's Slingshot, which leaves a poison cloud where it lands, Moe's 5 Gun, which is five guns in one, and the Deodorant Applicator, which is a mid-range laser gun.

When Fortnite's Simpsons season began, it had a very noticeable lack of Simpsons-themed weapons. The loot pool had tons of Simpsons healing items, like Krusty Burgers and Super Squishees, but the weapons were all old Fortnite guns aside from the Mr. Blasty revolver.

But that changed in a big way in Week 2. Now there are four Simpsons weapons instead of one, including a rare combo gun with Moe's 5 Gun. That one is more or less a new version of the Pump and Dump, which was a shotgun and SMG that you could dual-wield during Chapter 6 Season 2. The Slingshot and Deodorant Applicator, meanwhile, both have unlimited ammo, but they have a durability stat that wears down as you use them.

Don't worry, though, as we'll fill you in on some good ways to get your hands on a hard-to-find Power Rod.

Arc Raiders Reduced To Rubble Quest Guide

Game News - Thu, 11/13/2025 - 05:05

Most Arc Raiders quests send you topside to investigate, gather resources, or obtain some type of intel. This trend continues with Reduced to Rubble, which begins with asking you to do the simplest thing you've done in the game so far: take a photo. Hey, sounds easy enough, right? Let's find out.

Luckily, you won't need to extract to complete Reduced to Rubble, so you should bring in a free loadout if you're not familiar with the Blue Gate map or feel a bit nervous about losing any of your good loot. With the above-average amount of ARC roaming about on this map, things can go bad in the blink of an eye, so it's better to be safe than sorry.
