Out of the gate, the list of games that support these achievement sets is as follows: - Against the Storm - Age of Wonders 4 - American Truck Simulator - Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 - Crusader Kings 3 - Dredge - Euro Truck Simulator 2 - Forza Horizon 5 - Flock Around - He is Coming - Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight - Left 4 Dead 2 - Portal 2 - PowerWash Simulator - PowerWash Simulator 2 - Team Fortress 2 - Victoria 3 As part of this update, Valve are also beta testing an overhauled achievements page.

Vampire games on Steam are a recession indicator and I have the charts to prove it Nothing is scarier during Halloween season than amateur statistics. It should be noted, of course, that the number of Steam releases in general has massively increased over the same period, from 9,634 game launches in 2020 to 21,263 in 2025. US Census Bureau data shows median household income rose between 2020 and 2025, even when adjusted for inflation—but only by about 4.6%. From the start of 2020 to now, the Consumer Price Index for all urban consumers—representing the costs of goods and services for roughly 88% of the US population—has increased by 27-29%, depending on whether you include the more volatile prices of food and energy.

Thousand Hells is a 'tactical narrative' feast of infernal storytelling, but its defeats can feel brutal From the developer of King of Dragon Pass, a gorgeously imagined meat grinder for hapless adventuring parties. In Thousand Hells: The Underworld heists, I've sort of taken on the role of the dad in that one tweet about feeding cats to coyotes. But rather than serving up pets to jackals, I'm dutifully feeding bands of doomed adventurers into the psychological, corporeal, and spiritual wood chipper of the "tactical narrative" game's bespoke hellscapes.

When Crusader Kings 3: By God Alone comes out, I'm going to turn the Roman Catholic Church into a polyamorous love nest Three's company Being a pope is a stressful job. That's true today, but imagine heading up the Roman Catholic Church in the 11th century. The good news is, when Crusader Kings 3's next expansion, By God Alone, launches at the end of September, I know how to help my pope relax after a long day: polyamory.

Star Wars Zero Company is a 30-40 hour linear game with no New Game+, and I'm totally OK with this I'll actually be able to finish it. As someone who frequently finds themselves embroiled in gargantuan, branching RPGs and spends far too much time in live service romps, I really appreciate a game I don't need to dedicate my life to—a nice palate cleanser that's one and done.

Indie game gets last minute Steam delay while Valve reviews its 'dozens of untextured polygons depicting ass and boobs' Future? Earlier this month, indie political satirist game dev Molleindustria—pseudonym of Paolo Pedercini, who created games like Democratic Socialism Simulator and New York Times Simulator—announced that he was moving up the release of his latest game. Some sad news regarding today’s release: — @molleindustria.org (@molleindustria.org.bsky.social) 2026-07-22T19:08:49.374Z Using a sarcastic tone characteristic of Pedercini's previous work, Molleindustria said that its launch timeline estimates "were foolish to disregard the only authority on the matter: Steam, which has kept our game under review for more than three weeks in order to properly assess the scale and scope of the nudity contained within it." The scale of that nudity, the developer says, consists of "dozens of untextured polygons depicting ass and boobs," which "appear statically on screen for several seconds." There are approximately 25 million polygons rendered during the opening scene of Death Stranding 2, to give you an idea of the relative levels of graphical fidelity we're working with here. 2026 games: All the upcoming games Best PC games: Our all-time favorites Free PC games: Freebie fest Best FPS games: Finest gunplay Best RPGs: Grand adventures Best co-op games: Better together Lincoln has been writing about games for 12 years—unless you include the essays about procedural storytelling in Dwarf Fortress he convinced his college professors to accept.
