Steam’s “Early Access” is no longer what it used to be — has it failed gamers?

Valve's "Early Access" initiative on Steam currently features 14,056 titles. Successful games like Kerbal Space Program, ARMA 3, Prison Architect, and Kenshi have received positive reviews. However, many players have become disillusioned with the program, particularly due to experiences like the prolonged development of DayZ, which spent nearly five years in Early Access. The program's guidelines require developers to maintain transparency and accountability, but some exploit these rules for financial gain without completing their projects. The Early Access program is intended to gather player feedback, provide funding, and support development, but issues with unfinished games and unmet promises have raised concerns about its integrity.

Hypixel Considers Reacquiring Its Sandbox Hytale from Riot

Hypixel Studios has announced its closure and the cancellation of its game Hytale, which was still in development. The studio, part of Riot Games since 2020, has left fans disappointed. Discussions about Hypixel potentially reacquiring the rights to Hytale have emerged, but the studio's founder, Simon, indicated that this possibility seems unlikely due to financial challenges. He expressed a willingness to invest million of his own money to finish Hytale, reflecting his commitment to the project, though he acknowledged that this ambition is currently just a plan and would be a significant challenge to realize.

PlayStation PC Games Are Now On Xbox, Sort Of

Microsoft has introduced a feature in its Xbox PC app that allows users to access a gaming library from various PC storefronts, including Epic and Steam, enabling players to view popular PlayStation games available on PC, such as Spider-Man: Miles Morales. While these games can be viewed in the Xbox app, they will not include Xbox achievements or enhanced functionalities. Microsoft is pursuing a strategy to transform Xbox into a platform similar to Steam, focusing on collaboration rather than direct competition. Xbox president Sarah Bond has indicated a vision for a more interconnected gaming ecosystem with the next generation of Xbox consoles. Microsoft has canceled plans for a dedicated Xbox handheld device and is instead supporting third-party devices like the ROG Xbox Ally and collaborating with Meta on the Meta Quest 3S Xbox Edition.

Rematch players are flopping about like schools of flying fish because—and I tested this—it’s actually faster

Sloclap's game Rematch features a unique movement strategy where jumping and flopping are faster than traditional running. Stopwatch trials showed that sprinting took 8.07 seconds, while flopping took 7.13 seconds, indicating a notable speed difference. Flopping drains stamina faster than running, consuming about a quarter of the stamina bar compared to diving. Players are using these unconventional tactics, which may prompt a hotfix from Sloclap.
