  • Steam Client Update for July 27, 2022

    Steam Client Update for July 27, 2022

    Haven't had one of these bad boys in a while.

    Remember when Steam was still in its infancy and every update was a relatively major news event? Those have largely gone by the wayside these days as Steam updates are a dime a dozen and outside of a new feature here or there, there really isn't much to write about when a new update lands.

  • Grand Theft Auto VI Details - Female Protagonist, Miami Setting, 2024 Release Window

    A new report offers a lot of fresh details on what Rockstar is doing with the next GTA.

    Grand Theft Auto V was first released back in 2013 for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
