Meet the Steam Machine: Valve’s Shiny Gaming Cube

The Tiny Little Cube That Wants to Replace Your Gaming PC Valve just announced a tidy little cube-shaped gaming PC, officially the new Steam Machine,  and yeah - it’s designed to sit under your TV and run SteamOS without turning your living room into a radiator. Allegedly. Alongside the cube came two other things Valve wants on your wishlist: the Steam Frame VR headset (a standalone SteamOS VR headset) and a brand-new Steam Controller. All three are slated for early 2026 rollouts and they look fire. Design and Intent: Small Box, Big Ideas The Steam Machine looks like a grown-up GameCube: a compact, cube-ish box meant to be unobtrusive and living room friendly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmKrKTwtukE Video: Steam Hardware Announcement | Valve The form factor screams “plop me under your TV,” and Valve seems to be positioning this as the bridge between […]

Zaahen Joins League of Legends: The Darkin You’ll Love to Hate

Zaahen: The Unsundered Lands on the Rift Alright summoners, strap in! Because League of Legends is about to drop yet another overtuned monster on the Rift. Meet Zaahen, the 172nd champion to join the roster (yep, Riot’s still cranking them out). He’s a bruiser-fighter hybrid with a strong duelist kit, a built-in revive, and enough glaive swings to make your monitor vibrate. Let’s break down what we know so far about the newest Darkin to hit the Rift and why you're probably going to start banning him on day 1. Zaahen's Release Date & Role Zaahen officially drops on November 19, 2025, alongside the upcoming patch 25.23, with a PBE debut that’s already well underway. Riot’s been teasing his arrival since late October, and now that he’s here, the top lane mains are licking their lips. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fX08jvwW-AY Video: Zaahen, the […]

Phasmophobia’s New “Nell’s Diner” Map Is Now Open for Business

Nell's Diner is Officially Released! Looks like it’s time to grab a coffee, some pie, and a thermometer - because Phasmophobia’s newest map, Nell’s Diner, is officially live across all platforms. Kinetic Games dropped the update today, and ghost hunters everywhere are already clocking in for their first late night shifts at this haunted roadside eatery. The Nell's Diner update trailer gives a cinematic peek into the eerie 1950s-style diner, complete with flickering neon, cramped booths, and that unmistakable “something’s watching you” energy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UkZ9QZfa7bU Video: Phasmophobia - Nell's Diner Release Trailer | Kinetic Games It’s a smaller map (kinda comparable in size to Tanglewood Drive) but packs a lot more density, with 13 rooms total and 11 potential ghost locations, including a walk in freezer that’s just begging for a frostbite warning. Early player clips already show ghosts getting bold […]

Poppy Playtime Chapter 5: The Puppetmasters Final Strings

Playtime Co. isn’t done playing with us just yet! Just when you thought the factory couldn’t get any darker, Mob Entertainment dropped the first official teaser for Poppy Playtime Chapter 5, and it’s shaping up to be a nightmare wrapped in nostalgia, puppetry, and pure anxiety. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGSn5cY0o3k Video: Poppy Playtime Chapter 5 Teaser Trailer | Mob Entertainment The teaser, released on Halloween (because of course), is short, eerie, and loaded with just enough cryptic whispers to make your skin crawl. It doesn’t give much away, but that’s what makes it effective. There’s a new villain (or maybe the villain) known only as the Puppetmaster, and it sounds like we’ll finally face the twisted mind behind the horrors that turned a toy company into a living hell. Descend Into the Heart of the Factory According to the official Steam page, Chapter […]

REPO Monster Update is Finally Here Just in Time for Halloween!

If there’s one thing REPO refuses to do - it’s stay predictable. Just in time for Halloween, the semiwork devs have finally dropped their long-awaited Monster Update, and holy hell, it’s packing more new content than some full releases. The trailer that dropped alongside it might honestly be the best update trailer I’ve ever seen. It’s cinematic, creepy, and somehow both hilarious and horrifying at the same time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RuVC8UGC_bM Video: R.E.P.O. - Official Monster Update Launch Trailer | semiwork From what we’ve seen so far, this update isn’t just a light content refresh. It’s a full-on monster party!  You’re getting 10 brand-new enemies, new mechanics, new upgrades, and a ton of changes that shake up REPO’s chaotic extraction formula in all the right ways. Whether you’ve been grinding runs with friends or you’re just here for the weirdness, this one’s absolutely […]

Cult of the Lamb: Woolhaven Gameplay Revealed

Time to Shepherd Some Snowy Sacrifices Cult of the Lamb is back to remind everyone that adorable farm animals are probably the most dangerous cultists alive. Massive Monster has lifted the fluffy black curtain back a little, revealing the first real look at Woolhaven, the game’s next massive DLC expansion. It appears that winter is coming for our wooly-worshipping followers, and survival might take more than just good vibes and ritual sacrifice this time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgG59KTjDqs Video: Cult of the Lamb | Woolhaven Announcement Trailer | Massive Monster If you want to see the chaos for yourself, the Woolhaven trailer features new environments, new creatures to tame, and plenty of corruption crawling under the ice. Definitely worth the watch imo. You can also check out the full announcement post on Steam to see what the devs spilled about Yngya, the mountain, and […]

Sonic Rumble November Release Date After Delays 2025

Sonic Rumble Finally Releasing in November: About Damn Time

I can’t believe I’m even typing this, but it looks like Sonic Rumble is finally releasing this November. After over a year of constant delays, pre-registration spam, and tone-deaf event announcements, SEGA is actually ready to hit the green light. Or at least, that’s what they’re telling us…again. According to Gematsu, the global release is now scheduled for November 2025, which honestly feels like a sentence I’ve been copy-pasting for months at this point. The official Sonic Rumble site even promises that the version we’ll be playing this November has been “designed, polished, and perfected.” Sure...I’ll believe it when it’s actually on my phone and not behind another “quality improvement delay.” The Never-Ending Sonic Rumble Delays When Sonic Rumble was first announced, it looked like it had all of the ingredients for an instant hit: a 32-player party brawler featuring Sonic […]

Phasmophobia’s Crimson Eye Hotfix Exorcises Some Pesky Bugs

Crimson Eye Event Gets a Crucial Phasmophobia Hotfix Ghost hunters, rejoice - Kinetic Games just cast out a few of the nastier bugs haunting Phasmophobia’s Crimson Eye event. Phasmophobia's Halloween event dropped with its fair share of supernatural fun (and supernatural lag), but a few players were getting spooked for all of the wrong reasons. Lobby connections, random pop-ups, and weird audio were all creeping their way into investigations...and the devs finally decided that enough was enough. Image: Phasmophobia Crimson Eye Halloween Event Hotfix | Kinetic Games The new Phasmophobia hotfix update (v0.14.2.1) is now live across all platforms, cleaning up some lingering messes from the Crimson Eye patch: Fixed players getting stuck on the “Connecting” screen when joining via friend invite. Removed that random pop-up message when unlocking the Child of the Cult foil badge. Main menu radio now plays […]

Why Game Rant Tried to Rewrite the “Boycott” of Hogwarts Legacy

Game Rant’s Hogwarts Legacy 2 Take Got Ratioed Game Rant decided to light itself on fire this week after posting on Twitter, the post getting immediately bodied with a Community Note correcting it: If Hogwarts Legacy 2 wants to avoid the same boycotts its predecessor faced, the sequel cannot take the same approach that the original did. https://t.co/LJIMjUHhW8 pic.twitter.com/Wf1PTKreNa— Game Rant (@GameRant) October 12, 2025 In other words, the so-called “boycott” Game Rant referenced was about as effective as trying to cancel oxygen. Hogwarts Legacy wasn’t just successful - it dominated, becoming the best-selling game of 2023 worldwide and one of the biggest single-player launches in gaming history.Even hilariously eliciting a Hogwarts Legacy fluff piece from Game Rant themselves at the time! So why is a major gaming publication trying to actively rewrite history? The answer’s actually pretty simple. It’s the same reason when […]
