Steam has set yet another record for concurrent users online on its platform. Two weeks ago, it had surpassed 34 million concurrent users, and then the following week it hit 35 million. Yesterday, at 14:00 UTC, a new record was set when 36.354 million Steam users were online at the same time, as tracked by SteamDB. These continuous records clearly point to a healthy, growing platform, not just for Steam but for PC gaming as a whole.
Jar-Jar Binks actor sets tongues wagging with Activision tease
28.02.2024 - 20:15 / eurogamer.net
Ahmed Best, who's best known for his performance as Jar-Jar Binks in the Star Wars prequels, has issued a cryptic tease that has set Star Wars fans' tongues wagging.
«Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in,» Best posted on Instagram, alongside a photo of himself clad in a performance capture suit. He accompanied the caption with a string of hashtags: "#mocap #starwars #jarjarbinks #activision #jedi #sithlord #kelleranbeq"
It's unclear what Best is back in a performance capture suit for, though the mention of Activision has fans pondering whether the actor is secretly working on a new Star Wars game from the publisher, or whether he's performing mo-cap for some kind of Call of Duty crossover.

So it'd be a surprise to see the series suddenly feature in Call of Duty — and even more of a surprise to see Jar-Jar Binks of all characters being featured.
Image credit: Ahmed BestOf course, Best is more recently the actor behind another Star Wars character: Kelleran Beq, a heroic Jedi who features in The Mandalorian. (There is a Mandalorian movie in the works, though isn't due to begin shooting for another few months.)
There is, however, a rumoured Mandalorian game on the way from Apex Legends studio Respawn. Maybe Best got his publisher wires crossed and meant to tag EA?
An all-new Star Wars game project featuring Best being developed by Activision would also be a surprise — there's been no word so far of a game set in the galaxy far, far away from the Call of Duty publisher — which now, of course, is owned by Microsoft.
We've asked Activision for comment. As of now, Best's Instagram post remains online.
