  Is Ubisoft Planning a Return to Steam?

  Recent behind the scenes changes suggest this may be a possibility.
  
  In 2019, the final Ubisoft game on Steam was released. That game was Trials Rising. Since then, if you were a PC owner and a fan of Ubisoft's output, you were only able to purchase their titles from their first-party Ubisoft Connect or through everyone's favorite storefront, the Epic Games Store. As the months turned to years, it seemed like Ubisoft's return to Steam just wasn't going to happen.

  Big Changes Just Hit the Steam Mobile App

  The changes are more than just a new coat of paint.
  
  Valve just passed along word that they have completely revamped the Steam Mobile App. Though it sports a new design and some new features, Valve also says that it's built using a new framework. The framework stuff is more of the "behind the scenes" aspect to all of this, but a new and updated framework should mean the app is more responsive for users.
  
  Of the new features added is the ability to scan a QR code...
