🖥 PlayStation, PC, Multi-platformThe Steam Machine is the most ambitious game console I’ve ever played
My first day with the Steam Machine was a mess. Instead of enjoying a worry-free game console, I spent hours troubleshooting what felt like a finicky PC. That's because the Steam Machine is a PC, with a very important twist. Since the Magnavox Odyssey came out in 1972, game consoles have been built with the &8230;

🎮 PlayStation, Multi-platformHalo: Campaign Evolved Local Split-Screen On PS5 Will Require Separate Microsoft-Connected PlayStation Accounts, But Not PlayStation Plus
!Game Informer News(https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/06/22/935bab9c/halomenu.jpg.webp) On Friday afternoon, Halo Studios published an extensive FAQ(https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/june-community-qa-halo-campaign-evolved) answering a number of questions about its upcoming Halo: Combat Evolved remake, Halo: Campaign Evolved(https://gameinformer.com/halo). In a section covering how local, split-screen co-op will work on PlayStation 5, Halo Studios wrote, "If you're playing split-screen on PlayStation 5, both accounts will need to have PlayStation Plus and be linked to a Microsoft account. Having these active PlayStation Plus subscriptions will also provide access to online co-op play." Following online frustration over this requirement, Halo Studios shared an update on X(https://x.com/Halo/status/2068499211868643333), writing, "We incorrectly stated that PlayStation Plus is required for local co-op splitscreen play. Local splitscreen co-op requires a PlayStation account for each player but does not require a PlayStation Plus account." It then updated the FAQ with the bolded addition, "A PlayStation Plus account is NOT required for local splitscreen co-op." > We incorrectly stated that PlayStation Plus is required for local co-op splitscreen play. Local splitscreen co-op requires a PlayStation account for each player but does not require a PlayStation Plus account. <https://t.co/dzemK02U1h> > > — Halo (@Halo) June 21, 2026(https://x.com/Halo/status/2068499211868643333?refsrc=twsrc%5Etfw) Paid PlayStation Plus or Xbox Live subscriptions are still required for online co-op play, but local play will not require any subscriptions. Both players will, however, still need accounts connected to the platform of choice, and PlayStation and Steam players will need to connect their accounts to a Microsoft account. This means that playing Halo: Campaign Evolved split-screen won't be as simple as it was in 2001 with Halo: Combat Evolved, when the requirements of playing couch co-op were just plugging in a second controller and pressing start. This modern, over-complicated process of playing couch co-op games is not an invention of Halo: Campaign Evolved, but the mistaken and quickly retracted requirement of needing PlayStation Plus to play local, co-op certainly shines a spotlight on this frustrating facet of modern gaming. In much cooler Halo: Campaign Evolved news, Halo Studios also published a six-hour video of the game's start screen, which you can check out below. Halo: Campaign Evolved is currently the game on our cover(https://www.gameinformer.com/cover-reveal/2026/06/16/cover-reveal-halo-campaign-evolved), and there's still time to subscribe to get the issue in the mail(https://www.gameinformer.com/subscribe). We also have interviews with the Halo Studios team about topics like the PlayStation 5 Pro version of the game actually being the best place to play Campaign Evolved(https://www.gameinformer.com/2026/06/16/ps5-pro-is-likely-the-best-place-to-play-halo-campaign-evolved).

🖥 PlayStation, Xbox, PC, Multi-platformThis $1,000 Steam Game Offers Very Little, But At Least It’s Honest About It
With people wondering if GTA 6 preorders will kickstart a new $80 era(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/80-games-are-already-here/) for standard edition PS5 and Xbox Series X|S games, one new release on Steam already has Rockstar Games beat: Congratulations On Your Purchase. The new red carpet-simulator launched not too long ago, and it can be yours for the mere price of $1,000. Designed to be a "first-person luxury experience" set inside a palace, the Steam listing(https://store.steampowered.com/app/4693030/CongratulationsOnYourPurchase/) says that players can expect a red carpet, a chandelier, and a velvet rope barrier to protect them from "the wrong kind" of people. As for the gameplay, there is no combat, no enemies, no quests, no skill trees, and one box that contains only the feeling of having arrived somewhere important. Developer Minimal Viable Prestige is also brutally honest about what you can expect from their debut game. "You paid for this. Not accidentally. Not on impulse. You saw the price. You read the description. And then you bought it anyway. Welcome." !(https://www.gamespot.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Congrats.jpg?w=1024) For $1,000, I was expecting character models not to look squished. Of course, players are protected, just in case they take a bad stumble near their PC, open up Steam, input their credit card details, and then click through several confirmation pages during their fall. Steam's refund policy allows for a game to be returned, provided that it hasn't been played for more than two hours or owned for more than two weeks. Congratulations On Your Purchase might be expensive, but several other special editions of games have also been priced high over the years while offering more content overall in comparison. This $750 Stylish Edition of Resident Evil 6 came with a wearable replica of Leon S. Kennedy's leather jacket, and an $800 Assassin's Creed Origins collector's edition was limited to just 1,000 units. If you had cash burning a hole in your pocket for a publicity stunt, there was the $190,000 edition of Grid 2 that included an actual car, one Dying Light player could get a custom-built zombie apocalypse shelter(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/386-000-dying-light-special-edition-announced/1100-6425493/), and Saints Row 4 even offered to send you to space if you purchased the one-of-a-kind $1 million special edition(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/1-million-saints-row-iv-edition-revealed/1100-6412754/). Prefer not tospend $1,000 on a single game? Then check out our favorite recommendations from the recent Steam Next Fest(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/steam-next-fest-june-2026-25-of-the-best-demos-you-can-play-right-now/). All the demos are free to play, and we're pretty certain that each game won't be too expensive when they eventually launch in full.
🎮 PlayStation, Xbox, Multi-platformHalo Fans Can Relax: Campaign Evolved Won’t Require PS Plus For Split-Screen
Halo: Campaign Evolved(https://www.gamespot.com/games/halo-campaign-evolved/) lands on PC and Xbox Series X|S next month, and for the first time, on a PlayStation console. Ahead of its launch, some confusion has arisen regarding how local split-screen co-op will work on PS5, with many assuming that PS Plus subscriptions would be required for both players. Fortunately, there is some good news as Microsoft has clarified what will be required from players exactly. In an update, the official Halo Studios social media channel(https://x.com/halo/status/2068499211868643333) clarified that while local splitscreen co-op does require a PlayStation account for each player, it does not require two PlayStation Plus accounts to function. Originally, senior community manager John Junyszek claimed in a community Q&A that both accounts would each need a PlayStation Plus account and be linked to a Microsoft account. "If you're playing split-screen on PlayStation 5, both accounts will need to have PlayStation Plus and be linked to a Microsoft account," Junyszek wrote at the time. "Having these active PlayStation Plus subscriptions will also provide access to online co-op play." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwqeSUMEIY Naturally, PS5 players weren't too pleased with this statement, believing that it would cost extra on top of Halo: Campaign Evolved's $50 price tag to join a friend for some couch co-op. As for the Microsoft account requirement, this will allow for cross-progression across PC and consoles. PC and Xbox owners will only need to create a Microsoft account for local co-op. Halo: Campaign Evolved will be released on July 28, and Microsoft has already revealed the global launch times(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/halo-campaign-evolved-release-date-and-global-launch-times-revealed/) more than a month in advance for the game. A complete remake of the very first Halo, the game celebrates the 25th anniversary of the franchise and includes extra content, like improved graphics, new prequel missions, and quality-of-life updates.
