Steam Controller is incompatible with all your Game Pass games, but a community fix could save the day

Valve has announced the release of the Steam Controller, set to launch on May 4, 2026. The controller is designed to work with anything running Steam but does not support other gaming platforms or launchers. It requires the Steam client to be running for full functionality, including the use of both analog sticks. The controller can operate without the Steam client for basic trackpad and keyboard operations, but features like the Steam on-screen keyboard are only accessible when the client is open. Non-Steam games must be launched through Steam to be played with the controller. The Steam Controller does not natively support console devices such as Xbox, PlayStation, or Nintendo Switch. While there are tools to add non-Steam games to a Steam library, they do not provide Steam Input support. Community initiatives may emerge to extend support for the new controller.

The new Moomin game is lovely, but also illustrates the limits of cozy comfort over the harsher lessons of a children’s book

Moomintroll: Winter's Warmth is a sequel to Snufkin: Melody of Moominvalley, where players follow Moomintroll as he wakes from hibernation in a snowy landscape and embarks on a quest to bring spring. The game emphasizes Moomintroll's proactive role in helping Moominvalley residents during winter, contrasting with the themes of uncertainty found in Tove Jansson's original book, Moominland Midwinter. The game focuses on perseverance, camaraderie, and courage, aiming to provide a comforting experience while subtly altering the narrative's message. The original work's theme of resilience is echoed in Moomintroll's encouragement for the crocus to struggle through the frost, highlighting the beauty in overcoming adversity.

How to Record Windows 11 Internal Audio with Audacity for Free

Windows 11 does not have a built-in option to record internal audio directly from PC speakers. The Stereo Mix feature, which allowed easy recording of audio output, has been phased out on many modern devices. Microsoft's Voice Recorder app only captures microphone audio. Audacity, a free and open-source audio editor, can be used to record internal audio by configuring it to use the Windows WASAPI audio API with a loopback function. This method captures the digital audio stream without quality loss. To record internal audio with Audacity, users need to download and install the software, set the audio host to Windows WASAPI, select the appropriate loopback device, set recording channels to stereo, and then hit record while playing the desired audio. The recorded audio can be exported in various formats such as WAV, MP3, or FLAC. If the WASAPI loopback does not work, users can try enabling Stereo Mix if available or using a virtual audio cable like VB-CABLE. Tips for cleaner recordings include setting the project rate to 44100 Hz or 48000 Hz, disabling audio enhancements, and closing distracting applications. Common issues include no audio recorded, loopback devices not showing up, distorted sound, low volume, and microphone access denial, which can usually be resolved through settings adjustments or driver updates.

Ball x Pit has a new update because who needs free time anyway?

The Shadow Update for Ball x Pit introduces two new characters, The Tiptoer and The Tunneller, along with four new passive abilities, 11 new balls, and a guildhall for players to build.

The new balls include one that manipulates time, one that immobilizes enemies, and one that allows for random teleportation. The update also features the Full Metal Rapier passive ability, which scales damage based on the number of elements on screen, and the Arrow of Fate, which grants projectile immunity and releases smaller balls upon being hit. The update is available for free on Steam and adds 18 new elements, creating 88 combinations of characters, passives, and balls.
