Why the Steam Controller is (and isn’t) a big deal

Most PC gamers already have a controller they love using with Steam - a Sony DualSense, a 8BitDo Ultimate, a Nintendo Switch Pro, or something else. Part of that love comes from Steam treating them like "native" controllers. They can do the things that made the first Steam Controller worth buying. Namely, they offer a &8230;

Valve’s new Steam Controller isn’t perfect, but I’m buying one anyway

After my brief hands-on last year with Valve's new Steam Controller, I said it might be my dream controller. I've been looking for a controller with the customization and sheer function available on Valve's Steam Deck while I'm playing games on the TV. You, me, and a lot of other people have been waiting for &8230;

Witness The Birth Of A New Gaming Genre This Week

The last couple of years have seen several new genres emerge, and this week, developers from across the world are looking to cement "Fake OS" games as the next big thing. These are the games that simulate operating systems, desktops, and mobile phones, using that digital canvas to tell engaging stories designed to thrill and mystify the user on the other end of the screen. To get recognition for Fake OS games as a genre, more than 150 developers have teamed up to shine a spotlight on their games with a coordinated community push on Steam. All of these games will have the Fake OS tag during a week-long sale starting April 27(https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45880205/sale/InterfaceX26) and running through May 4. A live showcase highlighting these games will be held on May 2 in the form of InterfaceX, and hosted by GameSpot's very own Lucy James and Kurt Indovina--they've always got you covered(https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLpg6WLs8kxGMJkHKEYduLArw558X2id). Fake OS Steam Sale(https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45880205/sale/InterfaceX26) As for the sale that has just begun, nearly 100 games have been discounted. While this isn't an official Steam sale like Valve's other themed events, the core idea is a community-first approach designed to encourage players to tag these games on Steam and help define the genre from the ground up. There's precedent for this push as well, as back in 2024, Dwarf Fortress and Deep Rock Galactic developers managed to get Valve to greenlight a Dwarf Steam tag(https://www.gamesradar.com/dwarf-is-now-a-tag-on-steam-following-silly-yet-very-serious-demands-from-dwarf-fortress-and-deep-rock-galactic-devs/).

Fortnite Won't Remove D4vd Cosmetics After Murder Charge, But You Can Get A Refund

Epic Games has confirmed that refunds will be available for cosmetics related to D4vd, the singer-songwriter connected to Fortnite who is accused of killing 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/ex-fortnite-player-and-rb-singer-d4vd-arrested-on-murder-charges/1100-6539472/). However, the cosmetics are not being removed entirely as many asked for. On social media, the Fortnite Status account said(https://x.com/FortniteStatus/status/2048408545557668149), "We hear the concerns," adding that an update coming April 28 will allow people who bought a D4vd cosmetic to get an immediate self-service refund. You don't have to wait, though, as players who request refunds now can get one, it's just that the immediate self-service refunds won't be available until April 28. Many online commenters are saying this doesn't go far enough and that Epic should remove the D4vd cosmetics entirely. This isn't the first serious issue with Fortnite cosmetics. Before this, Epic disabled and then modified a Peacemaker emote after fans pointed out the connections to Nazi imagery(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/fornite-disables-john-cena-emote-after-major-peacemaker-s2-twist/1100-6535083/). Prior to that, Epic faced legal battles over its dance emotes(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/fortnite-epic-games-is-in-court-after-paying-10k-f/1100-6472055/).

This touchscreen mouse is my over-engineering nightmare

Turtle Beach's latest collection of PC peripherals are so focused around touchscreen displays that the company even slapped one on a gaming mouse.
