Coming off a whirlwind week jam-packed with new Apple product announcements, including the MacBook Neo, the most affordable MacBook to date, the rumor mill is bristling with what comes next. If the chatter ultimately proves accurate, we will see Apple launch a string of ultra-premium hardware devices. One of those products is said to be a In recent years, Valve has been introducing a bunch of new features to its Steam platform, across both handheld and desktop spaces. With 2025 well and truly behind us, Valve has now shared its ‘annual platform summary for developers’ detailing its past 12 months of innovations.
Taking to their blog, Valve published their official Steam Year in Review 2025 for developers: “A platform-level summary for developers to learn about all the new features, tools, and improvements we shipped.”
The full list of changes and additions is lengthy, and includes a number of developer-centric features. That said, some of the most notable improvements over the past year include:
As mentioned, the full list of additions is rather meaty, and includes updates on Steam’s sales data API; per-discount revenue reporting; new art asset templates and much more.
Additionally, not all changes have been welcome, with the review language filter in particular receiving some backlash from users wanting a more broad perspective on game opinions.
Still, Valve has been taking strides in trying to improve Steam as a platform across the board. It will be interesting to see what the platform holder has planned for 2026, especially with multiple new pieces of hardware scheduled to arrive at some point. The full 2025 Year in Review can be found HERE.

The post Valve shares developer-focused ‘Steam Year in Review 2025’ first appeared on KitGuru.We saw the Montech Sky 3 Glass at Computex 2025 however it has taken nine months for the case to finally launch. There have been a few changes along the way and the ‘Glass' part of the name has been ditched so perhaps we will never see the promised Mesh version. Regardless, this is an interesting compact ATX case that is packed with features and comes at a budget price.

Cooling Performance
Cooling Performance Overview
We stressed the Montech Sky 3 fairly hard and it performed well, although it got notably noisy as the fan speeds increased. If you are thinking about building a PC with an RTX 5090 and a Core i9-14900K we feel the compact nature of the Sky 3 might cause cooling issues, however that is an extreme scenario.
Montech has done a number of things very well with the Sky 3, and the only issues we encountered have fairly simple explanations. This is a compact ATX case with very clean looks that can accommodate a huge graphics card and a 360mm AIO cooler, and it comes at a reasonable price. The RGB light show in the two glass panels adds to the appeal and our first, second and third impressions were all very favourable.
The downside is that Montech has clearly made the Sky 3 as svelte as possible, presumably to save cost, and this leads to the issues we discuss in our video. We are confident the Sky 3 will be very popular as a budget case for PC gamers and it offers very good value for money.
You can buy the Montech Sky 3 for $89.99 in Black or White

KitGuru says: Montech's Sky 3 has been worth the wait and we will be intrigued to see whether they launch a Mesh version.
Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is on track to be announced later this year, with director Naoki Hamaguchi suggesting the release window won’t be far behind.
Speaking to Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier, Hamaguchi said he is “hoping it’s not going to be too far in the future,” signalling a release window that aligns with a first‑half 2027 launch. Hamaguchi confirmed that the third entry will continue the team’s approach of expanding beyond the 1997 original:
“We didn’t want the three installments to be a reskinning of the same game over and over again,” he said. “We want to make sure we’re expanding with every installment in terms of scale, as well as retaining that freshness.”
He added that the team “already has the foundation of the gameplay in place” and is now focused on fine‑tuning. Staff continuity has also remained high, with “closer to 95% of the Rebirth staff” returning for the final chapter.
While full details are being held for the official reveal, Hamaguchi confirmed several returning locations and features. Rocket Town and Wutai are both in, and flying the Highwind will be “a very large part of the third installment”. He also teased new Chocobo elements, potential underwater exploration, and a starting point that aligns with the original game’s path from the Forgotten City toward Icicle Inn.

Slay the Spire 2 is stealing headlines this weekend thanks to its massive Steam Early Access launch. The new version of the deckbuilder places great focus on card variety and visual upgrades over the original, and it appears to be a huge hit already.
Despite being in an incomplete early access state, Slay the Spire 2 garnered over 573,000 peak concurrent players this weekend. It has also shot up to the #1 spot on the Steam Top Seller list.
There is no specific timeline in place for the Early Access period of Slay the Spire 2. The game will continue to receive updates and new content in the months ahead, alongside bug and stability fixes. When V1.0 is ready, we also expect to see Slay the Spire 2 on consoles like Xbox, PS5 and Switch 2.
KitGuru Says: Slay the Spire is one of my favourite Steam Deck games. I haven't jumped into the sequel yet, but I've got it installed and ready to go.
The post Slay the Spire 2 surpasses Marathon with over 500K concurrent players on Steam first appeared on KitGuru.While Valve had originally planned to release new hardware products in early 2026, the ongoing memory and storage shortage has put a hold to those plans. Valve has recently pushed its release timing from ‘Q1 2026' to ‘1H 2026'.
In an update shared this week Valve said that it still ‘hopes' to ship the Steam Machine, Steam Frame and Steam Controller in 2026. This had some worrying that the new products may not ship this year at all but a spokesperson told The Verge that Valve still fully intends to ship its new products in the first half of this year.
While we were initially expecting all three new hardware products to launch before the end of this month, towards the end of last year, the AI data centre market began to make a huge impact on global memory and storage supplies. Since then, prices for high-speed RAM and storage have been creeping up and manufacturers have begun shifting production capacity to better serve the AI market, leaving less production available for consumer-grade electronics.
Aside from the Steam Machine, there has also been talk of the memory shortage causing price hikes for current consoles like the Nintendo Switch 2 and delays for next-gen systems like the PlayStation 6.
KitGuru Says: Do you think Valve should pause its release plans or should it push ahead despite potential long-term supply challenges?
The post Valve says Steam Machine and Steam Frame still coming this year despite memory shortage first appeared on KitGuru.Customization is the name of the game in Tinker Pilot, where everything in the cockpit is literally up for grabs - even if there’s not a whole lot beyond it.
Tinker Pilot is a curious thing. It starts with the name, of course, which, just so we’re clear, refers to the fact that you can move and tweak everything around you in your virtual cockpit so that you have your controls just so. Ideally that means having them represented in game just how they exist in physical space, whether they are on a desk, duct taped to the arms of your dining room chair, or you happen to own a fully tricked out motion rig that marks you out as a valid target for online jealousy. ‘Tinker’ absolutely does not refer to you being an itinerant mender of housewares, which is the definition of the word that first comes to my 16th Century-attuned mind.
The piloting part of the name needs less of an explanation. Unfortunately, while the gameplay is smooth, the controls tight and the sense of being a bad-ass space jock is initially palpable, there isn’t much of a game to actually talk about. There are a handful of scenarios that between them offer some semblance of progression, but it feels like it was put together to showcase the extent of the customization you can perform, and thus the degree of control you have over your nimble ship. As such, the missions prioritise speed and maneuverability above all things, and drama and narrative barely at all.
After a tutorial, during which you’ll take out a couple of crates in an asteroid field, you’ll jump to the surface of a desert world to blow up some drones, then the final scenario, which is a classic time trial through some hoops. Truth be told there’s less than an hour of content here and it’s not a particularly thrilling way to pass the time either. There is an online leaderboard, so if “getting gud” appeals, you might be able to squeeze more enjoyment from it than I was able to.
The only area where Tinker Pilot feels substantial enough to justify its early access price is back where we began, making the cockpit your very own. You can move button panels around, choose from a wide range of controllers to replace the virtual sticks - essentially allowing you to copy your current physical set-up so that it exists in-game, or create one anew that is perfectly attuned to the way you like to play or any accessibility needs you might have. As is often the case when such levels of fine tuning is offered, it can be a fiddly and time-consuming process, but on the intersection between space combat and interior design, Tinker Pilot is unrivalled. A recent patch even allows telemetry data to be exported, although I’m not sure how useful such a feature is for most VR users.
For a game where up can become down very quickly and you're constantly having to get your bearings, Tinker Pilot is surprisingly easy on the digestive system. No doubt this is entirely down to the pleasing frame rate and latency rather than the default comfort options, because, well, there are no comfort options as yet.
It’s worth noting that if you lack the high-end controls requisite to space combatry - namely a joystick - the virtual controls here work really well. Normally I find them terrible. In fact, until playing Tinker Pilot I was of the opinion that they could only be terrible, but this game nails its default controls very well. Partly for two reasons, I think. One is that sticks aren’t given a physical representation, they are displayed as holographic, which means your brain isn’t being tricked and thus you subconsciously don’t expect or indeed miss the lack of any haptic feedback when wiggling them about. The other aspect is that the degree of travel needed to affect any movement in 3D space is very small. Small twitches of the wrist are all that’s required, which means you don’t get nearly as tired as you might in other games pretending they are doing things they’re not.
Launching into the asteroids. Literally.
Sadly, despite nailing the control side of things, Tinker Pilot is almost entirely lacking in entertainment. It’s all well and good to be able to move button panels about and have your shiny new VKB Gladiator rendered before you, but there are fans of the genre - myself among them - who are happy to operate within whatever cockpit the designer has created. Just as I don’t need to move the climate controls in my car, or have the steering column set six inches lower, I’m usually fine with how things are. I’ll either get used to them or play something else, which has been my experience with every first-person spaceship game I’ve played. Sure, some cockpits are more conveniently arranged than others, which is especially true in VR, but it’s never bothered me that only one game to my knowledge, 1986’s Academy, has given me the option to move things around. (If you can think of any others, put them in the comments below.)
It’s a cliche to say it, but Tinker Pilot feels like a tech demo looking for someone to turn it into a game. What missions exist are designed first and foremost around promoting the degree of control and maneuverability the game systems allow. There’s no attempt at world-building, there’s no storyline, no meaningful sense of progression, it’s essentially a showcase; the kind of vertical slice that a developer would take to publishers or patreon to show the kind of thing that could be done with either a team, a budget, or both. There’s a framework to greatness here, no doubt, but I would urge interested parties to seek more evidence of there being a greater emphasis on in-game piloting and less perhaps on future tinkering before parting with their disposable income.
Northern Ireland's Valley Links joins the ever-growing roster of real-life courses recreated to play in VR in Golf+.
Golf+ features over forty paid DLC courses, including dozens of real golf courses from all over the world. Valley Links is part of the Royal Portrush Golf Club alongside sister course Dunluce. The course is described in the developer's blog post as "defined by rolling fairways, rumpled terrain, and ever-changing coastal winds." Dunluce was previously added to Golf+ in March 2025.

The xenomorph-filled story-based shooter Alien: Rogue Incursion rode an aggressive discount during Sony's recent sale to the number one spot in downloads for February 2026.
Every month, Sony publishes a blog detailing the top ten downloads of the month on all of its platforms, with separate lists for US/Canada and the EU. On PS VR2, there are some games that appear every month: Beat Saber, Job Simulator, and Pavlov are mainstays on this list, with others like Horizon Call of the Mountain, Metro Awakening, and Creed: Rise To Glory drifting in and out of the top ten month to month.
UploadVRDon Hopper
Alien: Rogue Incursion, from developer Survios (Creed, Puzzle Bobble, The Walking Dead: Onslaught), has also been a steady presence in the top 10 since its release in December 2024. It ranked fourth in the US/Canada and fifth in the EU in January 2026, and fifth on both lists for December 2025.
From January to February, Zero Caliber VR, Horizon Call of the Mountain, Vampire: The Masquerade Justice, and Creed made their way into the top 10, replacing Arizona Sunshine: Remake, Metro Awakening, Swordsman VR, and The Walking Dead: Saints and Sinners.
In February, as part of a PlayStation sale, Rogue Incursion (the deluxe edition) was discounted seventy-five percent off to $12.49, one of the biggest VR game discounts by percent in the sale.
This isn't the first time a steep discount has rocketed a game up the charts. Max Mustard briefly became the best selling game on the Meta Quest after announcing a ninety percent discount, kicking off a series of games from other developers on the platform also doing ninety percent off offers. Developer Toast Interactive said in a Reddit post that the discount was a marketing move to increase visibility on the store.
Alien: Rogue Incursion is available on PS VR2, Steam, and Quest. A flatscreen port, subtitled the 'Evolved Edition' is also available on Steam, Xbox, PlayStation 5, and the Epic Games store.
I Expect You To Die developer Schell Games is ending its involvement with Among Us 3D later this month.
Schell Games has announced it is "handing off" active development of Among Us 3D (formerly Among Us VR) back to original Among Us developer, Innersloth, on March 24. Per its developer post on Steam, this was always planned to happen.

Among Us VR first released in November 2022 as a completely separate title from the original hit game of murder and deception. Since release, the game has seen multiple limited-time events with new gameplay modes, crewmate roles, and a new map, Polus Point.
Among Us VR Original Trailer
In February 2025, the developers announced that the game would be converted into a hybrid title, renamed Among Us 3D: VR, with full crossplay support between flatscreen and VR. This change was made official in April 2025, with the VR store listing changing names and a new, separate Steam listing for the flatscreen port.
As a final send-off, March 24 will see a "definitive edition" release of the game, with previous limited-time-event features and cosmetics returning to the game permanently.
Among Us 3D: VR is available now on Steam, Quest, Pico, and PS VR2.
The comedic sandbox simulator Shop & Stuff comes to PlayStation VR2 in late March.
HyperVR Games has announced its third entry to the PS VR2 catalog, Shop & Stuff, is scheduled for release on March 27. This follows previous ports of Shave & Stuff in May 2024 and Pets & Stuff in December 2024.
Shop & Stuff continues the '& Stuff' franchise's brand of comical life simulators, challenging players to manage and grow their own supermarket. In addition to maintaining product stock levels and equipment, unruly shoplifters can be physically ejected from the store or run off with a flamethrower. Profits can be reinvested into the business to add new items like self checkout lanes and coffee machines.
Shop & Stuff Boss Update Trailer
The PS VR2 port will include the recent Boss update that dropped on Quest, adding a cantankerous manager who offers helpful tips to maximize profits and tasks to complete throughout the store.
At the time of this article, there is no news on a PC VR release. Shave & Stuff and Pets & Stuff were previously released on Steam in November 2024 and May 2025 respectively.
Shop & Stuff is available now on Quest in Early Access for $13.99. It can be wishlisted on PS VR2 now ahead of its release.
In recent days reports have claimed that Sony has pulled back on its PC strategy and no longer intends to release blockbuster single-player exclusives on Steam, impacting upcoming titles like Wolverine, Saros and Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet. According to a study, waning interest in new PlayStation PC releases could have been part of the cause.
Newzoo (via GI.biz) has released a study showing that Sony's strategy of releasing games months or years after their initial console release was hurting launch-window sales. While there have been some standouts here like God of War, Horizon Zero Dawn and Spider-Man Remastered, other games like Returnal, Ratchet and Clank, The Last of Us Part 1 and Uncharted saw muted sales.
Many PC gamers are more willing to be patient, so when games launch on PC a year or so later than PS5 at full price, many will wait for a sale. As a result, some newer games like Spider-Man 2 are estimated to have a 95% to 5% split between PS5 and PC sales.
Another reason for Sony's apparent U-turn on PC versions for its single-player games could be devices like the Steam Machine and the next-gen Xbox. Microsoft confirmed this week that Project Helix, the next Xbox, will run PC games. If it gets access to services like Steam and Epic Games, then suddenly Xbox ‘consoles' will be running titles like God of War.
