The first ‘official’ Android game spotted on Steam suggests you might not need to buy games twice to run them natively on the Steam Frame’s own chip

Valve's new VR headset, Steam Frame, can play games in various ways, including streaming PC VR games, emulating PC VR games on its own Arm-chip, or playing native Arm games in the form of .apk files. There is a possibility that if you purchase a game for your gaming PC, you may also be offered the .apk version for free to use on the Steam Frame. The addition of OpenXR support may make it easier to get virtual reality games working on different devices.

Fortnite for Xbox PC and Xbox Ally devices is currently broken for many — but a fix is on the way

A recent 50% price increase for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate has prompted Microsoft and Epic Games to integrate Fortnite Crew into the service, offering in-game benefits and monthly V-Bucks. Fortnite has also joined Xbox Play Anywhere, allowing access through the Xbox app on Windows 11, but some users are facing issues due to a delayed update causing a version mismatch. Sources indicate that the problem is with Epic Games, and a resolution is expected soon. Microsoft is working on improving the Microsoft Store's user interface and addressing ongoing technical challenges. The inclusion of popular titles like Roblox, Minecraft, and Fortnite suggests a positive future for Microsoft's gaming platform, although there are still hurdles to overcome for new users.

Despite spending extensive time on the game, many players feel the story remains incomplete. Developer Ros acknowledged the game's mysteries, including a missing cat and a non-functional arcade cabinet, both of which are set to be included in an upcoming update, although the release date is not yet known.

The Need for Speed Underground 2 Unreal Engine 5 Fan Remake Looks Better Than Ever

In January 2025, a demo for a fan remake of Need for Speed Underground 2 using Unreal Engine 5 was unveiled. The project, developed by apfelbaum, features a fully playable Career Mode, although it currently lacks AI opponents, traffic, and destructible environments. Future updates are expected to improve driving mechanics, introduce a new weather system, and update the car paint model. A new launcher will be introduced to streamline user experience, allowing easy downloads, updates, and integrity checks of game files. The previous demo is accessible through RPGGameplay’s Discord server. Additionally, various other fan-made demos are available, including remakes of popular games like Superman, Halo 3: ODST, and more.
