Hardware modder PhyFawkes has built a working handheld PC dubbed the SteamBoy, housing internal Steam Deck components inside a custom Game Boy-sized chassis. The project bypasses traditional bulky handheld formats to achieve a pocket-sized design running Valve's SteamOS.

Wardogs Early Access

Bulkhead has scheduled the early access launch of its tactical shooter Wardogs for September 10 on Steam. The title will debut at $40 before increasing to $60 upon its full commercial release. Ahead of the launch, the developer published an explicit list advising users on reasons to avoid purchasing the game, breaking from standard marketing playbooks.

AI Disclosure Updates

Saber Interactive updated the Steam store page for Rideshare Simulator to include a mandatory generative AI disclosure. The revision clarifies that human writers authored the primary campaign, while AI tools were utilized exclusively for select localization tasks, voice generation, and supplemental free-ride missions.

These developments highlight ongoing shifts across the PC ecosystem, ranging from hardware downsizing and unconventional developer transparency to standardized AI disclosures on digital storefronts.
