Skyrim has been the most-played ‘Unsupported’ game on Steam Deck for 5 months

The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim, despite being labeled "Unsupported" by Valve for the Steam Deck, has remained one of the most-played games on the platform from December to April. The game was given this label due to significant compatibility issues, yet many players report enjoying it without major problems. Skyrim's status as the most-played game deemed unplayable highlights its enduring popularity and the commitment of its fanbase.

This new Skyrim mod is unashamedly vibe-coded, but it lets you swing NPCs into each other with ragdoll physics, so we all win

The Drag and Drop mod for Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim: Special Edition allows players to drag and drop non-playable characters (NPCs) as if they were objects. The mod was created by Gerkinfeltser, who utilized knowledge of Skyrim's Havok physics and SKSE hooks to guide AI in its development. The mod introduces chaotic gameplay, enabling players to swing NPCs around and crash them into each other, enhancing the humor associated with ragdoll physics. It also supports configurable sound effects for added customization. The mod is available on Nexus Mods, and Skyrim Special Edition can be purchased for .99, often on sale on Steam.

Warhammer 40k Rogue Trader developer announces its own launcher, but players are already “opting out”

Owlcat Games is developing its own game launcher to serve as a central hub for players, aiming to improve cross-promotion of its titles. Market research indicated that many Pathfinder 2 players were unaware of Rogue Trader. The decision has received mixed reactions, with concerns about the crowded landscape of game launchers and their functionality. Owlcat plans to roll out the launcher gradually, ensuring no mandatory registration or data collection from users. Players in the alpha test for Warhammer 40k Dark Heresy will be the first to use the launcher, which will provide access to all of Owlcat's games and links to social media and announcements. The launcher will allow users to buy, install, or launch games regardless of the original distribution method, but players can bypass it if accessing games through Steam.
