Ever since the Steam Machine was first announced back in November 2025, it seems like its been facing an endless deluge of delays, thanks to the awful hardware market. However, in a blog post, Valve reaffirmed that the Steam Machine and Steam Frame will be coming sometime this summer. Valve's blog post is primarily focused on detailing the Steam Machine and Steam Frame verified programs that the company revealed back at GDC 2026. Just like with the Steam Deck's verified program, these are mostly concerned with usability on each platform, making sure that UI elements are legible and that it'll work with Steam Input. Valve's blog post then goes on to talk about updates to its Partner Dashboard, so that devs can more easily make sure their games have a smooth path to verified status on Valve's myriad hardware platforms. Most importantly, right at the start and again at the very bottom, Valve reaffirmed that the Steam Machine and Steam Frame are indeed coming sometime this summer. The company doesn't narrow that window beyond that, but hopefully that means more like June or July, not the end of August. Whenever Valve's hardware comes out, though, it's likely that it's going to have a higher price than we initially thought it would. After all, just a couple weeks ago the Steam Deck had a steep price increase of its own, and that handheld is significantly weaker than Valve's promised mini gaming PC. Here's to hoping Valve is able to keep the price at somewhat of a reasonable level. Jackie Thomas is the Hardware and Buying Guides Editor at IGN and the PC components queen.

The FIFA World Cup-inspired campaign in eFootball has added the Portugal and England National Premium packs, and it can be a hard decision to choose one. While you can buy both, that can be a hard decision since each of them costs 2000 eFootball Coins. Most free-to-play players might struggle to have enough coins for one, let alone both of them. Who should get the eFootball Portugal Premium Pack The Portugal Premium Pack has some fantastic items, led by Cristiano Ronaldo’s Epic card. This item can go up to an overall of 105 once you enable the second booster. It also includes the unique Willpower skill that raises offensive attributes when active. [Hidden Content] Screenshot by Destructoid The pack also features the Roberto Martinez manager item, who has 90 proficiency in Quick Counter. He also has 89 Proficiency in Long Ball, but it’s Quick Counter where he shines. I love playing Quick Counter, and having 90 Proficiency is a great boost. Screenshot by Destructoid There are 10 other cards as well to get from the pack. Two of those cards look like underrated gems. The 98-rated Vitinha is a brilliant Orchestrator who can shine in the midfield. The 96-rated Joao Cancelo card is also a great choice for those who play with three-at-the-back. I have tried him, and he excels in both offensive and defensive areas of the pitch. This pack is ideal if you’re a Cristiano Ronaldo fan, for starters. We have never been able to get an Epic CR7 card guaranteed for 2,000 coins, and he is never offered as a freebie. This is a unique chance. Who should get the eFootball England Premium Pack The England Premium Pack’s biggest strength isn’t the player cards. Instead, you get a Thomas Tuchel manager item that has 90 Proficiency in Possession. He also offers 89 Proficiency in Quick Counter. We don’t have many managers who have high Proficiency values in both Quick Counter and Possession, and also 90 in one department. Screenshot by Destructoid I also love the Harry Kane Epic card. He comes with Low Screamer, which is great if you get your shooting angles correct. He is slow but good in the air and great at holding up the ball for teammates to arrive. Finally, the Jude Bellingham card is also a great B2B item that’s bettered by only a few (much rarer) items. Screenshot by Destructoid If you want to get a top-tier manager with your coins, you should go for the England Pack. I am unsure when we will get a manager as good as Tuchel next time, who allows you to switch between Possession and Quick Counter. /wp-content/themes/destructoid2025/assets/img/icons/likes-off.png0 The post eFootball Ronaldo vs. Kane National Premium Pack: Which one should you get appeared first on Destructoid.

After saying today that future 007 games would be handled by Amazon Games and MGM rather than other parties, fans began to doubt the prospects of a First Light trilogy. The company then issued a new statement, seemingly reassuring the community that it has a “great relationship” with IO Interactive. That is according to Kotaku, who, citing VGC, writes that an Amazon spokesperson said it’s “too early” to discuss future 007 projects and reassessed the company’s ownership over the IP. 007 First Light is a fantastic game, and it’d be a shame for it not to have its own series. Screenshot by Destructoid [Hidden Content] They added, however, that Amazon enjoys a “great relationship” with 007 First Light developer IO Interactive “and are proud of what we’ve accomplished together.” “Our partners at IO will reveal more about 007 First Light in the near future, and we’re looking forward to sharing what’s next,” the spokesperson said. This comes after Amazon Game Studios chief Jeff Gattis implied IO Interactive would no longer work on 007 or create its own trilogy, which I had high hopes for. He said Amazon didn’t have “full rights” over 007 First Light since it was licensed out to IOI prior to Amazon’s acquisition of MGM, the owner of the Bond IP. Future projects, Gattis said, are to be handled by MGM “and, theoretically, by Amazon Game Studios.” On social media, fans lit up to this news, saying Amazon “learned nothing” from its past, rather poor, experiences with video games. “I feel bad for IO, to put so much effort into this only to instantly lose the license,” another user on Reddit wrote, with others raising concerns over the future of the 007 license considering Amazon’s track record with cancellations and shutdowns. I, for one, hope IO Interactive has sorted things out with Amazon and will work on more Bond games to come. However, seeing as this is one of the world’s biggest corporations and certainly one that has all the resources and capacities to produce a game on its own, I feel rather gloomy hearing all this. Even with the “clarified” statement, Amazon again reaffirmed the stance that this is their IP and they can do what they want with it, even if it means cutting out a developer as wonderful as IO Interactive is. But at least IOI isn’t going anywhere and can still make original titles or games in other universes. /wp-content/themes/destructoid2025/assets/img/icons/likes-off.png0 The post Amazon seems to walk back suggestion they’d send Bond on a new adventure rather than following IOI’s First Light appeared first on Destructoid.

Steam has a treasure trove of excellent hidden gems in its extensive library of games, and while there are certainly plenty of free games available on the platform, not all of them are top-tier experiences. So it's pretty rare to find a free game that is also highly rated among users, and even rarer to find a high-quality horror experience that faithfully adapts the iconic H.P. Lovecraft's work.

Once upon a time, about five years or so ago, the AI apocalypse was a violently dignified end to humanity. Basically a high-tech Frankenstein's monster, we created carelessly and the consequences were murderous, sometimes coming down only on those who earned it and other times leading to nuclear war or, in sci-fi without budget concerns, entire solar systems and galaxies overrun. The AI singularity arrived and, well, it's not called a dualarity so either humanity or AI had to go. One of the two factions was not only made of metal and circuits but also directly tied in to every system people use to remain comfortable and alive, so it wasn't hard to see which side would would win.

The end of Destiny 2 development came as a surprise to everyone: players, streamers, casual observers, and even the development team at Bungie, most of whom reportedly had no idea it was happening until it happened. It was such an outrageous move that even Rebb Ford, the creative director of Warframe—the other Destiny—called it "unthinkable.".. Read more.View the full article

Olaf has opened his very own building in Disney Dreamlight Valley, and it’s packed with exhibitions you need to fill out using key resources found around your village. While working throughout Olaf’s Grand Exhibition, you may be wondering how to access additional rooms. Each room inside this museum has an array of displays to finish, and tackling each section gets you some exclusive rewards. There’s also a grand prize for filling out the entire room, so you’ll want to get all of them done as soon as possible. Here’s how to unlock more rooms in Olaf’s Grand Exhibition in Disney Dreamlight Valley. Table of contentsAll Olaf’s Grand Exhibition rooms in Disney Dreamlight ValleyHow to get more rooms in Olaf’s Grand Exhibition in Disney Dreamlight Valleyhttps://embeds.beehiiv.com/a8d62108-86ed-4039-bf49-44877ba62c15 All Olaf’s Grand Exhibition rooms in Disney Dreamlight Valley Screenshot by Destructoid Following the Whispers of the Wind Pocahontas update that launched on April 8, 2026, for DDV, there are eight rooms throughout Olaf’s Grand Exhibition. Each of these rooms corresponds to one of the main biomes in the valley. All the rooms featured in this building so far are as follows. Peaceful Meadow Dazzle Beach Forest of Valor Glade of Trust Sunlit Plateau Frosted Heights Forgotten Lands Plaza In addition to the doors that are marked for each of these rooms, there are also two additional unmarked doors situated at the top of the stairs behind Olaf’s desk. The stairs are blocked off, and the doors are incomplete, so it’s unclear when or if these rooms will eventually go anywhere. It seems likely, though, that they may eventually be rooms for DLC worlds, like Wishblossom Ranch and Storybook Vale. How to get more rooms in Olaf’s Grand Exhibition in Disney Dreamlight Valley Although there are marked doorways to rooms for all of the main valley biomes in Olaf’s Grand Exhibition, we can only enter four of them so far, as of the Hercules-themed A Hero’s Journey update that released on June 3, 2026. All available rooms can be completed upon starting Olaf’s Grand Exhibition quest. It’s currently unknown when exactly new rooms will be unlocked around this museum. The only concrete information we have comes from the Whispers of the Wind patch notes, which simply state that “More rooms will be arriving in future updates.” Screenshot by Destructoid Based on the release patterns so far, though, it seems like two new doors may arrive with each update. We got two with Pocahontas, and two more with the arrival of Hercules and Phil. So whenever the next update arrives, two more will likely be released. We’ve come to the end of the current 2026 DDV roadmap, so until new information is revealed, it’s unclear what to expect next for the museum. Typically, though, we get a fresh update every other month or so, which means it’s likely we’ll see more rooms sometime around August. When new rooms do arrive, they’ll likely be unlocked quietly, which means there won’t be any actual quests tied to them. The Peaceful Meadow room is part of a mission since it’s the first one, but the other rooms that have been released aren’t, so we know all future ones won’t be either. /wp-content/themes/destructoid2025/assets/img/icons/likes-off.png2 The post How to unlock more rooms in Olaf’s Grand Exhibition in Disney Dreamlight Valley appeared first on Destructoid.

GTA 6 is scaring the entire industry into avoiding November like the plague, and for a good reason. This will probably be the biggest game of all time and is likely already the most expensive piece of entertainment ever made, so it’s only reasonable to think developers would try to dodge any form of competition with Rockstar at that point. But that produced an unexpected result. While I sort of believed developers would just delay their games into next year or try to pack them into the summer as blockbuster launches, it turns out that most of them just went up and set their release dates for September instead. And on Tuesday, during Sony’s latest State of Play, so many games confirmed September as their release month that I now dread that part of the year, considering how much stuff I’ll have to tell you about every single day. [Hidden Content] We’re getting so many great titles in September. Image via Rebel Wolves It’s also kind of understandable. Launching in October doesn’t give these games enough time to form their pop cultural presence, and all efforts would be thwarted come November since most of the gaming world, on social media and otherwise, will be talking about Rockstar’s latest title. That’s genuinely sad now that I think about it, but it’s also the reality of having to compete with the biggest in the business. It doesn’t even have to be all bad. Now that September is so packed, players can go on a wild marathon of all sorts of genres and games releasing one after the other, so long as their wallets can handle all the heat. We’ve got huge stuff coming along, from Marvel’s Wolverine and its brutality to The Blood of Dawnwalker bringing Witcher vibes while we wait for CDPR to Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War IV, to even Onimusha and Silent Hill Towfall. There’s a little something in there for everyone, as IGN loves to say, and it’s perhaps the biggest month for video games of this year. In fact, it’s one of the most packed singular months I’ve ever experienced in my 24 years on this Earth, so even though I dread it for professional reasons, the gamer part of me is genuinely excited. The other side of the story is true as well. February is now jam-packed and continues to grow, and I’m of the opinion that 2027 will be even ******* than this year, considering how many studios delayed their titles in fear of GTA 6. So once the dust settles and the new GTA becomes a pop cultural cornerstone like its predecessor, we’ll have a lot of fresh titles coming out in every genre and style imaginable. /wp-content/themes/destructoid2025/assets/img/icons/likes-off.png0 The post Publishers are running from GTA 6 so much they turned September into a gaming marathon appeared first on Destructoid.

The new football game GOALS is live on PC and console, and your team will draw plenty of your attention. When you begin your journey, the squad you get will be pretty basic. There will be a handful of items of Uncommon rarity and above, and most of your cards will have low ratings. However, there’s an interesting growth system that allows you to improve your cards over time. Player training in GOALS explainedhttps://embeds.beehiiv.com/a8d62108-86ed-4039-bf49-44877ba62c15 Every player in GOALS is unique. If you have a player, nobody else in the world will have them. Cards have different rarities; they begin with Basic and go beyond Uncommon and above. The higher the rarity, the better the starting stats. However, even the most basic of cards can improve to become something special. Screenshot by Destructoid If you check out the card above, you’ll notice an XP meter. Every card has this, but the value of the XP meter differs. When you use a card in a complete game, it gains XP. The rate of XP gain might differ, but they will always get something if they’re in the playing squad. Once the card earns enough XP to meet a certain threshold, you get the chance to upgrade it. Upgrades not only improve the overall rating of the card, but they also boost certain stats. The stats are decided at random, but your players will upgrade significantly as you keep playing with them. Basic players grow the fastest since their XP thresholds are low. In comparison, Uncommon cards and above take a lot more time to complete their training and reach the next level. However, there’s another important factor to consider. If you look to the bottom left of a card, you’ll find a small lightning icon with a number written beside it. This number determines how much you can train the card. The training value begins at one and ends at eight, with the highest being the best. If you have a low rarity card with high training value, it will still be eligible for upgrades and improve its rarity as well. This also means that you shouldn’t immediately waste a card because it’s of low rarity. Screenshot by Destructoid There’s another number under the familiar position of your card, which determines their age. Players in GOALS age with time, and they retire after they have played enough. Naturally, you’ll also want to keep cards that begin at lower ages. That way, you can develop and play them for a longer time (since they take longer to retire). That’s all you need about player training and GOALS. Yes, it takes time to help a player reach their potential (especially if they’re of lower tier). However, prioritize using cards with higher potential since they can become a backbone for your team. /wp-content/themes/destructoid2025/assets/img/icons/likes-off.png0 The post How to train your players in GOALS appeared first on Destructoid.

The 2026 Season Pack introduces a host of changes in F1 25, and the game feels new with the update. While the base game remains the same, we can enjoy the 2026 season. This includes all the latest rosters, new rulesets, and a fresh track. If you’re like me and love the Career Mode, here are my top recommendations this year. Table of contentsBest Teams in F1 26 Career ModeOracle Red Bull RacingRacing Bulls Formula One TeamAudi/Cadillachttps://embeds.beehiiv.com/a8d62108-86ed-4039-bf49-44877ba62c15 Best Teams in F1 26 Career Mode There are 12 teams available in the Player Career mode (excluding your custom creations). Whether you go for a driver journey or co-op, the first task is to choose a team. Assuming you’re going with the default settings (not bringing back Schumacher to the grid), here are my top recommendations, keeping in mind different types of skill levels. Oracle Red Bull Racing Screenshot by Destructoid This is one of the most powerful teams on the grid, led by Max Verstappen. However, Isack Hadjar isn’t really irreplaceable, and you will be able to fit right in. At first, you’ll be second in command behind Max, who will be driving one of the fastest cars on the grid. Once you get a few upgrades in, you can then start to move up the hierarchy by doing well in races. While it’s not necessary for you to get podium finishes from minute zero, there will be pressure to perform well. This is a good save for beginners and veterans alike in terms of general difficulty. Racing Bulls Formula One Team Screenshot by Destructoid This one isn’t for the faint-hearted, as you’re officially joining one of the weakest teams on the circuit. If you take the place of Dawson, your team is essentially a pair of rookies trying to take down the giants. Things won’t be easy, and Racing Bulls doesn’t have the best of technical setups, and getting the upgrades will be time-consuming. However, you can create a tale of legends if you ultimately manage to win a race or two. Then, the final dream is to get the Championship. Audi/Cadillac Screenshot by Destructoid These are the two newbies in this year’s circuit, and with them, you can enjoy some decent challenges. Audi is a better team compared to Cadillac, but neither of them offers much. If you want an easier save, go with Audi. If you want something harder, go with Cadillac. Neither team has noticeable drivers, so whom you want to replace is up to you. /wp-content/themes/destructoid2025/assets/img/icons/likes-off.png0 The post Best teams for F1 25: 2026 Season Pack career mode appeared first on Destructoid.

Summertime is right around the corner, but if you're hoping to avoid hot weather by hanging out inside, Humble Bundle is here to help keep you busy with some PC games. A brand new Humble Choice lineup has dropped for the month of June, and it's filled with some excellent games to add to your online library. Octopath Traveler II, The Riftbreaker, and Life is Strange: Double Exposure are just a few of the PC games included in this month's drop, but you'll also get five more. As for how much all eight of these games cost? Just $14.99 when you sign up for a Humble Choice membership. That's a fantastic deal compared to grabbing them all at their retail prices, and that's not even the end of it. A free month of IGN Plus is also thrown in the mix, which allows you to get rid of ads on the site, score some free games, and more. Check out the full lineup of games below, and head to the link to sign up. Humble Choice June 2026 Games IncludedOctopath Traveler 2 (Steam)The Riftbreaker (Steam)Life is Strange: Double Exposure (Steam)INDIKA (Steam)Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector (Steam)Construction Simulator (Steam)Hell Clock (Steam)Overlooting (Steam)1 Month IGN Plus[/url] This is a pretty solid lineup of games to add to your library, too. Life is Strange: Double Exposure, for example, earned a glowing 9/10 score from us in its review. Writer Nick Maillet said: "With its excellent writing, exceptional characters, and fun-to-use new powers, Life is Strange: Double Exposure is a worthy sequel to the 2015 original." Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector is another from the list that earned a high score from us. 8/10, to be exact. Our review from Jarrett Green said it, "fine tunes the slow-paced, dice-heavy gameplay of the original with its new and aptly named stress system and multi-stage, multi-character missions." The praise certainly doesn't end there, though. We found a lot to love in The Riftbreaker and Octopath Traveler 2 as well, with each earning an 8 and 7 in their respective reviews. And Indika is quite a fun and delightfully strange indie to have in your library, in my opinion. Overall, there's a very nice variety to play here.
