A new Steam console is on the way. Here’s what we know.

Last week we talked about the Galileo/Sepheroth situation and new evidence points to there being a living room Steam Deck console in the works. We’ll talk about it! Plus, did Unity engine just pull an epic teamkill? And a new client update has hit. We’ll review all the goods today. That’s right. It’s Steam Deck news time!

I’ve been doing this for NINE YEARS! It’s unreal!
