What Is Steam Next Fest? The Steam Game Festival, which has been around since December 2019, is now called Steam Next Fest. Valve says it made this change “to more directly communicate its focus”, which is a celebration of upcoming games coming to Steam.

By Anthony’s own admission, the game is something of a gambit. It can be misunderstood in any number of ways—written off as a vanity project, dismissed as ‘just another walking simulator,’ or simply seen as something too personal to have broad appeal. And he had no illusions about its seeming niche appeal. Even if the finished product was poignant and worthwhile, it would not necessarily be sellable. The early reception from fans has been deeply encouraging, however, and now Valley of Shadow is on course to debut in 2023....
The unique theme of the game, in combination with its tactical shooting and Agents’ abilities, makes the game more exciting for the players.

Although Valorant boasts its ranking system about how the elo system works and how players are placed in a rank for the first time, it has somehow created some confusion over the past few months.

Valorant, unlike many other competitive games, considers a lot of factors in giving someone a proper rank....

Uploading the video to its YouTube channel recently, the ad is clearly intended to push the Steam Deck in ways other than through interviews with journalists. It’s a short ad, lasting just over a minute, but contains the majority of the basic information, certainly enough to give the general viewer an overall insight into what the device is, as well as what it’s capable of.

There is one notable difference between the two games’ bundles, which could incite arguments between fans of the two indie games. iam8bit has decided to offer Disney’s Aladdin as a Sega Genesis cartridge and The Lion King as a SNES cartridge.
