20 million sales later, Capcom is bringing Monster Hunter Rise to iOS and Android, but for now it’s locked behind a Netflix subscription

Monster Hunter Rise is coming to Android and iOS through Netflix. The game will require a Netflix Membership to download and play. The mobile version will have minor differences, such as challenge quests being unlocked as you progress, a new Recovery Button, and reconstructed touch controls optimized for smartphones and tablets. Capcom's decision to add the game to Netflix's streaming catalogue raises questions about potential future collaborations and the impact on the game's popularity.

52 of the Steam Frame’s 130 Certified Games Run Through Valve’s Android Layer

Valve's registry reveals that Lepton is an Android app with aliases lepton-stable and fauxdroid, translating from android to linux. Steam pages for Pavlov Shack, Table Space, and Action Hero show no PC build, indicating they are VR-only. Existing PC VR pages are adding Android depots, with some titles certified on Lepton. The porting process for Quest builds to Steam Frame is easier than rebuilding for PC VR. Valve is favoring the Android path for porting software to the Frame, despite initial intentions to bring PC VR library to standalone hardware. The release date for these titles is still unknown.

Even more games on Steam are using AI: there are over 8,600 demos in this week’s Next Fest event, and nearly 1,700 use AI

The second installment of Steam Next Fest for 2026 is running until June 22 and features a total of 8,682 demos, nearly double the entire library of PlayStation 2 games. Approximately 1,700 of these demos incorporate AI technology, leading to concerns about the quality of some titles, often labeled as "shovelware." Various digital storefronts are struggling to maintain quality amidst the influx of AI-generated content, with Sony recently removing a publisher known for low-quality releases. The reaction to AI in game development has been mixed, with backlash against certain titles. Additionally, early Geekbench results for Valve's upcoming Steam Machine suggest a potential launch next week.
