Blizzard’s bringing its PC games to Steam, starting with Overwatch 2

One of the biggest launches at this year’s Gen Con is not the sort of game you’d normally expect to be as celebrated as it is: Cosmoctopus. Designed by Henry Audubon, the creator of the hit board game Parks, it’ll be released widely on Aug. 18. Polygon had a chance to play the game in advance of this year’s Gen Con in Indianapolis, and we found it to be a surprisingly cuddly take on cosmic horror.

Upcoming tactical CRPG Dark Envoy caught my attention when it was announced last year, mainly because it has the undeniably cool combo of high fantasy magic and steampunk firearms. Casting you as a refugee adventurer, you’ll be shooting and/or spell-flinging across the war-ravaged world of Jäan, and you can even bring a friend along for the ride in co-op. We already knew all that good stuff, but the developers have now released a new video that delves deeper into the game’s classes and specialisations. Take a look below.

It looks like Lenovo is preparing its own competitor to Valve's Steam Deck.

As if the game wasn't hard enough.

There is a big market lately with portable gaming PC handhelds. With Valve releasing the Steam Deck into the marketplace, fans quickly gravitated towards the handheld. It offered players a means to enjoy some of their favorite PC games, both Steam and alternative launchers, on the go. Since then, we have seen some alternatives come into the marketplace in hopes of carving out a slice of this market. For instance, one of the big competitors to come out that offered a similar device was the ASUS ROG Ally. But now it looks like Lenovo will soon throw its own take into the marketplace.
