You should back up your Forza Horizon 6 save before its latest bug brings you to tears

Forza Horizon 6 players are experiencing significant issues with save data loss, with many reporting that their progress is erased, particularly when using the Quick Resume feature on Xbox or encountering cloud save problems on PC. Certain vehicles, including the 2003 Ford F-150 SVT Lightning and 1994 Ferrari F355 Berlinetta, are suspected to be linked to these issues. Players are advised to avoid these vehicles and disable Quick Resume to mitigate risks. Regular backups of save files are recommended for PC users. In case of data loss, players can contact Forza Support to restore their inventory, but they will still need to restart the campaign and collect items again.

How to Transform Your Old PC Into the Ultimate Windows Steam Console

Valve’s Steam Machine is set for release in early 2026 and will run on Valve’s Linux-based Steam OS. Gamers can build a custom Windows-based gaming PC inspired by the Steam Machine using components like an AMD Ryzen CPU, Asus RX960 XT Radeon GPU, and 16GB+ RAM. Installing Windows allows for broader game compatibility, while Steam’s Big Picture Mode offers a console-like interface. The custom build process involves selecting appropriate hardware, assembling it, and optimizing performance for modern games. Building a custom Steam Machine provides insights into hardware assembly and system optimization, resulting in a portable, high-performance gaming solution.

Windows 11’s most underused feature is getting a boost soon

Microsoft is enhancing its Cross-Device Resume feature, allowing users to transition seamlessly between Android devices and Windows 11 PCs. This feature, initially introduced in May 2025, struggled due to limited capabilities. Recent updates (builds 26100.7701 and 26200.7701) enable true app handoff, allowing users to continue activities directly from mobile apps on PCs without relying on cloud services. The update expands compatibility to various applications, including productivity tools and media apps like Spotify, and supports smartphone brands such as Honor, Oppo, Samsung, Vivo, and Xiaomi. Users can transfer online files to Copilot on their PCs, with the corresponding app launching automatically if installed.

GTA: Vice City is now playable right in your browser, 2002 title that once demanded Pentium 3 now runs in Chrome — requires upload of an original game file to save progress

DOS Zone has introduced a feature that allows gamers to play GTA: Vice City directly in web browsers without traditional installation, requiring users to upload an original game file for ownership verification. To enhance the experience, users must subscribe to the js-dos 8.xx service for cloud save functionality, enabling gameplay on any device with a modern browser. The original game had minimal hardware requirements, while the Definitive Edition requires significantly more robust specifications. The browser version of the game only needs 56MB to launch, with the rest loading dynamically. DOS Zone operates independently from Rockstar Games, and the upload process is a one-time requirement for players who can use game controllers and touch interfaces.

This relaxing take on Civilization wrapped in Windows 2000 style just hit 1.0, it’s completely free, and I’m mesmerized

Civilization 7 has received 'mixed' reviews on Steam, contrasting with its predecessor's 'very positive' rating from over 100,000 reviews. CivIdle, developed by FishPond at Fish Pond Studio, is a leisurely version of Sid Meier's Civilization that allows players to guide civilizations through tech trees and engage in trade and warfare. It recently transitioned from patch 0.28 to 1.0. CivIdle features a minimalist aesthetic with a muted color palette and hex-based world, evoking nostalgia for early 2000s software. The game has nearly 50 recent reviews pushing it closer to a 'very positive' rating and is free to play, with optional purchases available for supporting the developer and unlocking cross-platform cloud saves. Future expansions are hinted at, including an interplanetary version.

SteamOS is so close to greatness — but can Valve finally crack anti‑cheat and remove the biggest barrier holding PC gamers back?

SteamOS is a Linux-based operating system developed by Valve, designed for the Steam Deck and other compatible devices, offering features like cloud saves and cross-device connectivity. However, it faces challenges with compatibility for games that use kernel-level anti-cheat systems and require Trusted Platform Module 2.0 support. Notably, games like Rust and Apex Legends have dropped support for SteamOS and Linux due to concerns over cheating and low user bases. Valve is working on anti-cheat solutions for SteamOS, but the lack of support from developers remains a significant barrier. Valve's hardware roadmap includes the Steam Machine and Steam Deck, but the Steam Machine will not receive financial subsidies like the Steam Deck. The success of SteamOS may depend on its ability to attract a substantial user base and persuade developers to collaborate on integrating anti-cheat systems.
