It's been months since Valve first announced the Steam Machine, but the RAM crisis has made it hard for the company to start mass production. That means an indefinite wait for a one-stop Steam console, so enthusiasts have figured out an alternative - using a Sony PlayStation 5 (PS5).

According to IGNSEA, Valve has finally announced that the Steam Controller will be available for purchase starting May 4th. The controller can be used with Windows PCs and the Steam Machine. That said, what should you know about it?

Valve has confirmed via its official Steam Support site that it will discontinue support for 32-bit versions of Windows effective 1 January 2026, with Windows 10 (32-bit) being the only edition currently supported in that category. We think most Steam users should have transitioned out of that system by now, but still, just so you know.

PC handheld gaming consoles with the likes of the ROG Ally series, Lenovo Legion Go and others are a great idea for gamers who want a portable PC gaming device. However, Windows 11 optimisation leaves a lot to be desired. And thankfully, Valve is going to save it with SteamOS.

If you're interested in the Steam Deck and aren't worried about import costs, now's probably a good time to get one. Valve's annual Steam Summer Sale is ongoing, and the company doesn't just have games on sale this time. The Steam Deck is also getting a discount.

If you’re still running Windows 7, 8 or 8.1 on your PC for some reason, then we’ve got some bad news should you also play games on Steam. This is because Valve has made a surprise announcement saying that the aforementioned Microsoft OS will no longer be supported by Steam.

Valve has announced Counter-Strike 2 (CS2), the replacement for the popular first-person shooter title Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CSGO). Available in a limited test starting today, CS2 is expected to be officially released as early as June 2023.

The Steam Deck has received a nice quality-of-life update recently which allows users to directly copy games on their PCs to the handheld. Previously, users would have to separately re-download games available on their PCs over the internet onto the Steam Deck.
