After years of development, testing, and rumors, Valve has officially announced a release date and a variety of features for its newest product, the Steam Controller. While this is technically the Steam Controller 2.0, with the original launching in the 2010s, Valve decided to keep the branding the same for the new iteration. Unlike the original, however, the 2026 Steam Controller looks to be a technical marvel in the gaming controller space. The review embargo for the product has been lifted, and early testers have been thoroughly impressed with all of the features and specs Valve was able to fit inside the bulky controller. The Steam Controller is set to launch worldwide on May 4 at 1 pm ET, and you can purchase it directly from Steam's website . As we saw with some early leaks of the new product, the Steam Controller is going to cost $99, which many fans weren't too happy about when they initially heard the price point. However, it appears Valve is doing its best to jus...

Vampire Crawlers offers a wide assortment of card choices for each cost to build your deck, and there are some terrific options. These overpowered card options will radically change the look and feel of your deck, and you can build your deck around them. Table of contents Best Vampire Crawlers cards to use 0-cost 1-cost 2-cost 3-cost Best Vampire Crawlers cards to use The section below has a list of cards I have been using since Vampire Crawlers launched worldwide. I have separated the choices based on their mana cost since that's an important factor. The ideal way to create combos involves using cards with different mana costs (since you have to play them in an ascending order to trigger the combos). Screenshot by Destructoid 0-cost There's a huge list of choices in this range, and all of them are pretty useful (because they cost nothing to play). Here are my favorite suggestions.

Well, folks, I have good news regarding DRMs for once. After today's outrage concerning Sony's new PlayStation DRM that locks your games if you don't connect to the internet every 30 days, we have a case of a company removing an invasive DRM from its game before it even came out, which should serve as inspiration for other publishers to do the same. The game in question is the upcoming Star Wars: Galactic Racer , which, as per SteamDB , no longer has Denuvo. In fact, the Denuvo DRM label, which has to be displayed on the Steam store page of any game that contains it, was also removed, indicating that the most invasive and complex mainstream DRM is almost certainly gone. This is amazing news for everyone who's experienced first-hand the nuisance that modern DRMs are and will likely see the game perform and load better and faster now that the DRM is gone. And of course, over on social media, players are ecstatic to see this development. On the PC Gaming subreddit , on...
