    Keyboard & Mouse Royalty: The PC Gaming Show Returns This Sunday

    The biggest week in gaming is officially upon us, and while multi-platform showcases are great, there is only one event on the summer calendar built from the ground up for the mouse-and-keyboard faithful.

    The PC Gaming Show is officially making its return this Sunday, June 7.

    As the only games showcase designed solely to celebrate PC gaming, this year’s broadcast is shaping up to be an absolute must-watch for anyone who prides themselves on frame rates, custom rigs, and deep tactical strategy.

    When and Where to Watch

    No matter where you are in the world, you won’t have to miss a single world premiere. The main event kicks off broadcast-wide at the following times:

    • PDT: 12:00 PM
    • EDT: 3:00 PM
    • BST: 8:00 PM
    • CST: 3:00 AM (Monday, June 8)

    Pro-Tip: Make sure to tune in 30 minutes early! There is a talk-show inspired pre-show hosted by Elz and Frankie Ward that you won’t want to miss.

    You can catch the live stream across almost every major platform, including Twitch, YouTube, X (formerly Twitter), and Steam.

    What to Expect From the 2026 Showcase

    Hosted by the iconic lineup of Sean “Day[9]” Plott, Frankie Ward, and Mica Burton, the show is teasing a massive lineup of over 50 games.

    While the PC Gaming Show is legendary for its surprise indie reveals and niche simulation titles, we already have some massive heavy-hitters confirmed for the lineup:

    • Exclusive Gameplay: Look out for extended gameplay reveal highlights from the highly anticipated sci-fi RPG EXODUS.
    • World Premieres: Expect fresh looks at Serious Sam: Shatterverse (a co-op roguelite FPS) and a brand-new tactical warfare FPS called WARDOGS.
    • Strategy Giants: Creative Assembly will be on hand with behind-the-scenes footage and interviews for Total War: Warhammer 40,000.
    • Hardware Swag: Rumour has it there’s even a chance to win a custom PC housed in a retro-inspired Silverstone case.

    Whether you are looking for your next 500-hour grand strategy obsession, an eerie indie mystery, or a high-octane tactical shooter to test your graphics card, Sunday is your day. Dust off your desktop, polish your RGB, and prepare your wishlists.

  • Decked Out: The Top 20 Most Played Steam Deck Games of May 2026

    Decked Out: The Top 20 Most Played Steam Deck Games of May 2026

    The numbers are officially in from Valve, and May 2026 proved to be an absolute blockbuster month for handheld PC gaming. Between massive fresh sequels dropping onto the charts and addictive indie darlings refusing to let go of their grip on our battery lives, the Steam Deck library has never looked more vibrant.

    Whether you are looking to maximise your OLED screen or need a new obsession for your daily commute, here is the official breakdown of the Top 20 Most Played Steam Deck Games of May 2026.

    May 2026: Trends & Takeaways

    1. Sequels Command the Crown

    It was a historic month for highly anticipated follow-ups. Slay the Spire 2 comfortably claimed the #1 spot, proving that card-battling on a handheld remains an unmatched dopamine loop. Not far behind, the jaw-dropping Forza Horizon 6 (#3) and the deep-sea mystery of Subnautica 2 (#5) showed that modern AAA-adjacent experiences run beautifully on optimised handheld hardware.

    2. The Indestructible Giants

    No matter how many new games are released, some titles simply live on the Steam Deck’s permanent rotation. Stardew Valley held strong at #2 (likely fueled by endless modding and cosy late-night sessions), while Baldur’s Gate 3 (#7), Elden Ring (#14), and Cyberpunk 2077 (#17) prove that Deck owners love taking massive, 100-hour open worlds on the go.

    3. Weird, Wild, and Indispensable Indies

    The true soul of the Steam Deck shines through its quirky indie hits. May saw massive surges for unique titles like Vampire Crawlers (#4), the meticulously satisfying Librarian: Tidy Up the Arcane Library! (#9), and the hilariously titled Everything is Crab: The Animal Evolution Roguelite (#18). If it has rogue-lite elements and a unique hook, Deck users will play it until their battery hits 1%.

  • Descending into the Divine: The Alighieri Circle: Dante’s Bloodline

    Descending into the Divine: The Alighieri Circle: Dante’s Bloodline

    If you thought you knew the Divine Comedy, think again. Italian developer One O One Games and publisher Entalto Publishing have just pulled back the curtain on The Alighieri Circle: Dante’s Bloodline, a first-person psychological thriller that transforms Dante’s epic poem into a modern-day nightmare of ancestral duty and spiritual dread.

    Forget the hack-and-slash action of past adaptations; this is an introspective journey where the “Inferno” isn’t just a place of fire—it’s a mirror of the protagonist’s soul.

    The Premise: A Legacy Written in Blood

    The game puts players in the shoes of Gabriele Alighieri, a man who has spent his life running from a name he never asked for. However, some legacies are inescapable. Every 33 years, the barrier between our reality and Hell grows thin. To keep the gates sealed, a member of the Alighieri bloodline must return to their ancestral home and perform “The Ritual.”

    Gameplay: Tension Over Combat

    Departing from the survival horror tropes of high-octane combat, The Alighieri Circle focuses on narrative-driven exploration and atmospheric tension.

    • The Quest for the Infernal Seal: Players must track down and reunite the lost, magical pages of the Divine Comedy to complete the ritual.
    • Thematic Puzzles: You’ll navigate esoteric riddles that are deeply tied to Gabriele’s personal traumas and fears.
    • Two Worlds: The journey oscillates between The Villa—a silent, melancholic Italian manor—and The Dive, a distorted, surreal reflection of the infernal depths.

    When Can You Play the Demo?

    For those brave enough to step into Gabriele’s shoes, the wait is short. A Steam demo is officially scheduled to launch on February 19, 2026, as part of the Steam Next Fest.

    The full game is slated for release later in 2026 and will be available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.

  • Transport Fever 3 First Look: Infrastructure Overhaul

    Transport Fever 3 First Look: Infrastructure Overhaul

    The wait is over, tycoons! Urban Games just dropped a deep dive into the infrastructure tools for Transport Fever 3, and the level of control is absolutely insane. We’re moving beyond simple grids and into a world of true engineering.

    Here’s the breakdown of what’s changing when we hit the tracks in 2026:

    • Custom Junctions & Lane Control: No more “snap-to-grid” headaches. Build intersections at any angle, design realistic highway on/off ramps, and use full lane controls to dictate exactly where your trucks and buses turn.
    • The Rise of Trams: Trams are getting a massive upgrade! We’re talking dedicated tracks, underground construction, and—the game changer—Tram-Trains that can transition seamlessly between city streets and heavy rail networks.
    • Strategic Rail Choices: Not all tracks are created equal. Choose between three distinct rail types, each with its own balance of speed, cost, and pollution.
    • Modular Everything: Stations have been completely rebuilt. Use specialist modular add-ons to increase capacity or improve passenger comfort (which now directly impacts your city’s growth!).
    • Environmental Impact: Your expansion has consequences. You’ll need to balance progress with “livability” by using noise barriers, tree-lined avenues, and smart routing to keep the citizens happy.

    Transport Fever 3 is officially coming to PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S in 2026.

    Tycoon Talk: Which feature are you most excited to master first? The underground trams or the new highway intersection tools? Let us know in the comments!

  • Astro Protocol – Empire Building. Tactical Combat. One Hour.

    Astro Protocol – Empire Building. Tactical Combat. One Hour.

    Looking for a space 4X strategy game that doesn’t take 40 hours to finish a single match? Say hello to Astro Protocol, the tactical turn-based space sim from Null Vector Studios, launching on Steam in February 2026!

    Unlike traditional grand strategy games, Astro Protocol is built for speed and impact. Most runs wrap up in about 1–2 hours, making it perfect for those “just one more turn” nights where you actually want to see the ending.

    Why it should be on your Wishlist:

    • Fast-Paced 4X: Explore, Expand, Exploit, and Exterminate in a condensed, high-stakes format.
    • Tactical Hex Combat: Forget “stacking” units—this is a one-unit-per-tile system where positioning and adjacency bonuses mean the difference between victory and cosmic dust.
    • Unique Factions: Choose from 6 distinct factions (like the United Tellus or the Yimono Union) and interact with 10+ minor factions to secure powerful alliances.
    • Endless Replayability: Every run features a randomised tech tree, unique anomalies, and procedural galaxy maps. No two “Calibration” events are ever the same.
    • Deep Customisation: Specialise your planets into industrial powerhouses or research hubs, and customise your fleet with everything from nimble Scouts to massive Carriers.

    The galaxy is a simulation, and the Great Calibration is coming. Will your empire lead the way, or be deleted from history?

    Available on: Windows, Linux, and macOS. Release Date: February 2026. Wishlist now on Steam.

  • Terra Invicta is a game you need on your radar

    Terra Invicta is a game you need on your radar

    Developed by the creators of the famous Long War mod for XCOM, this isn’t just a game about shooting aliens – it’s a game about the politics, science, and industrialisation required to save (or sell out) humanity.

    Why It’s Different

    Most games start with an interstellar war. In Terra Invicta, you start with a telescope and a few shadowy agents. You don’t control a nation; you control a shadowy faction (like the Resistance, the Humanity First, or the pro-alien Servants) competing for influence over Earth’s superpowers.

    The Scale is Mind-Blowing

    • Earth Politics: Manipulate the US, China, or the EU to funnel resources into your space program.
    • True Newtonian Physics: No “planes in space.” Ships move based on actual delta-v and orbital mechanics.
    • The Solar System is Your Sandbox: Build mines on the Moon, shipyards around Mars, and outposts in the asteroid belt.
    • A Hard Sci-Fi Tech Tree: Research everything from nuclear thermal rockets to antimatter reactors.

    Which Path Will You Choose?

    Are you going to build a planetary defence force to kick the invaders out? Or will you flee the solar system in a desperate exodus? Maybe you believe the aliens are here to save us?

    “The stars are cold, but the war for them is just heating up.”

    Available now on Steam (Early Access). If you love The Expanse or XCOM, this is your next obsession. Find out more here – https://epic.gm/terra-invicta
