GG3 takes a look at some badges yielded from Steam Trading Cards. Even in attainable numbers of low badge levels, some titles are much rarer than others, which goes equally for their common items. Deadfall Adventures is one of those lowly games.
Codebros Studio comes from Thessaloniki Greece and presents us with their new horror game Unmourned which you can check out now on Steam.
Just got a Steam Deck? These are just some of the first games you should be downloading.
Microsoft posted and removed a new Xbox UI image with Steam games listed.
STEAM is DEFINITELY coming to Xbox consoles!!!
Now I´m more than HYPED for my Next Gen Xbox CONSOLES!!!
LETS GOOOO
“I’m told Microsoft is still in the early stages of this Xbox app update, so the company might never ship the feature to list all your Steam games.”
Listing games you own on Steam isn't "Steam." The GOG desktop app used to list your library as well, it wasn't Steam.
You really do live for any type of Xbox news or rumors don't you? Lol
If there was an article that said Phil Spencer woke up and got out of bed today, you would be the first one to comment super excited and typing in all caps.
@anast
The kind you'd want to bury in a desert island and leave it there forgotten through time? Yeah, I can see that...
If you read into it more they are attempting to emulate games from previous consoles which again bring with it licensing implications
Backwards compatibility is not guaranteed
This is what we call an Xbot.^^^^^^ He doesn't care otherwise but because he's been so loyal to Xbox and sees it on the verge of death, he'll overdramatize anything thinking it's gonna sell people that have long since left Xbox behind or never were there anyway. This is a desperate manipulative act thinking he's gonna change minds and succeed but, Xbox is on its death bed. Even the original creators know it hasn't been Xbox in two console generations and know it's on life support too
it's not steam coming to xbox console. Next xbox is more likely just a pc, there is no console in xbox anymore...
Hyped for a rental service adding another rental service...You do you Obscure. You got my upvote.
Tell me:
What´s is not a "rental service" in gaming nowadays?
Physical media is dying, and when it finally happen, what you gonna do? Leave gaming?
GoG and physical discs. Some companies prioritize this stuff, others don't. I'm not sure it is in the consumers best interest to be championing rental services.
SONY DEFENSE FORCE MOBILIZE!! All agents report to damage control STAT! threat level midnight!!,
You realize having Steam on Xbox defeats the purpose of Microsoft having the Xbox Store front right?
Why would Microsoft sabotage their own store front.
I think this means that Xbox is coming to PC. This is basically a PC with an Xbox UI. Of course it can play Steam because it's a PC. They are just adding a tab in the Xbox UI. Again the real interesting thing will be if you can play your Xbox games on it
but how would that even work tho.
are ms hoping that players might play these steam and epic dtore games on their consoles?
wouldnt there be alot of licensing and all that stuff be necessary?
and would that be even profitable for ms? cause if i buy games on steam, they wont get that money ha
the idea itself is great but the execution is alot more complicated than they might think. especially on consoles.
"are ms hoping that players might play these steam and epic dtore games on their consoles?"
No sure about Epic, but regarding Steam, yes!
"wouldnt there be alot of licensing and all that stuff be necessary?"
No. Even because it´s not just consoles. Handhelds, Laptops, Tablets, Mobile... all of those devices will share the same OS, Windows!
"and would that be even profitable for ms? cause if i buy games on steam, they wont get that money ha"
MS wouldn´t allow a competitor store to be inside their own ecosystem if there´s no money involved. Also, unlike Sony, MS has a partnership with STEAM to bring Xbox games exclusively to VALVE´s platform. This move sounds like they´re expanding their partnership even further.
"the idea itself is great but the execution is alot more complicated than they might think. especially on consoles"
Perhaps. Remains to be seen. Exciting news for Xbox consoles players regardless.
All this from a pic of a mockup ui for pc?
Ms already told you they wanted to update the pc ui to make it a more console like experiance, how that equates to running steam pc games on a console is a giant leap, at that point it's not a console, it's a prebuilt pc with an xbox sticker, and if you have a large steam library, you already have a decent pc, so what would the need be?
what would the need for an xbox store even be at that point if your just allowing access to others store fronts? I dont think you have thought this through at all, this news has nothing to do with Xbox console players, why would they get excited by a pc ui doing something others have done for years?
Ms is gonna move you hard-core boys over to pc and drop the console, they didn't go third party for nothing.
But if you are an Xbox console player why would you have Steam games...cause you got a PC that can play Xbox games better than the current console, so why do you have an Xbox?
I'm jealous of your downvotes.... The haters are so salty Microsoft is trying to obliterate the outdated console model.
@IRetrouk
"All this from a pic of a mockup ui for pc?"
Where did you get that info? Do you have a source or you just made that up?
"Ms is gonna move you hard-core boys over to pc and drop the console, they didn't go third party for nothing."
Third party, hu? Interesting...
Let me take an educated guess: So you really believe that the next Xbox Showcase in a few months will have ALL of its first party games announced for the PS5 and Switch 2 besides Xbox and PC, right? Right?
Its literally in all the reports obscure why are you pretending to be dense?
We've had this convo before, first it was no games, then 4 games, then old games, then timed, so honestly? Who knows what they will or won't announce at this next showcase, but I can safely bet we are gonna see the ps logo at that show, phil already told you to get used to it, remember? the simple fact is ms wants the ps player base to buy their games, they can't do that if they not on it.
I know you hate this new direction, you should move to pc before they really do drop the consoles, cause that's coming, I know you know it too.
Omg. You can smell the ignorance and fear from the SDF. Full force defence ongoing.
For all the rest this can never be a bad thing that they open up the platform to hold everything and put a console ui on top.
Stop being so defensive
Lol what? What's there to fear? I've been saying since 2020 they would be going 3rd party, they doing exactly what I thought they were going to do.
Seeing a mockup of a pc ui that shows your pc library and equating that to steam games running on a console is the real defensive thinking lol, micro are moving you boys over to pc, which is what you two are describing, I'd get used to it if I were you.
@IRetrouk
You did not provide the source so I´m just gonna assume that you don´t have one.
Now, imo, you´re the one pretending to be dense here.
There´s gulf between going multi platform (Sony and MS) x going full third party like SEGA did.
Regarding the upcoming Xbox Showcase, what Phil said is they want to be "transparent" regarding future announcements for both PS5 and Switch 2 and that´s it! In no moment he said that going forward everything is going to be announced for everyone.
"I know you hate this new direction, you should move to pc before they really do drop the consoles, cause that's coming, I know you know it too."
Been hearing the same tale since MS gone multiplat with PC. I´m hearing the same tale now despite the fact that MS already confirmed their next gen console.
You talk about think things through, at the same time you fail to do so when you put your own agenda in the way.
I mean, what´s make you think that I hate Microsoft´s new direction? Because those games are no longer "exclusives"? Because *more* games will be able to enjoy it?
Let me break down for you:
1- Those games weren´t exclusives since MS decided and release it to PC.
2- Seen those games charting on PS Stores doesn´t make me sad at all because; If anything, it will only help XGS developers to keep their jobs and make more money, their games gets more recognition and engagement from more gamers and secure future sequels/projects to get approval. As result, those studios will be able to expand/hire more people, as more developers will seek those studios looking for more security and stability regarding their jobs.
"Ms is gonna move you hard-core boys over to pc and drop the console, they didn't go third party for nothing."
Sure, and they just gonna kill Game Pass Ultimate, their most profitable and popular tier hoping that Xbox console gamers will just migrate to PC.
Talk about think things through. /S
Your own link mentions it man🤦
There is no difference in what you described lol, they are now a 3rd party publisher, they will launch everything everywhere that makes sense, at first you said it would never happen, then only old games, now its timed and not everything? Each time ms has changed what they are saying so have you, they will go day and date before this gen is over, that's obvious to everyone but the most harcore xbox fans. Phill said to expect more going forward and no red lines, its not my agenda lol it's microsofts🤦
You were hearing they were going to start releasing games on ps and didn't believe it till it happend so🤷♂️
Ms also confirmed a new windows phone before there wasn't so🤷♂️
You tow the company line, whatever phil and co say, you repeat lol, you used to love exclusives, untill they never mattered to ms, all this pro dev crap is utterly bullshit, you dont care about them, if you did you would buy their games, not rent them,
Ofcourse moving your game over to a player base that actually buy games is a good move and it will deff help those studios, that's shit is obvious and why I said all those years ago that's exactly what ms will do it for..... acting like your happy about it or having it as an excuse for why this shit don't bother you is comical, we can all see your past comments on the subjects lol.
They gonna use gamepass to move you over....watch.
This is about PlayStation. Phil Spencer wants Xbots to be able to play God of War, The Last of Us, Spider-man, and Astro Bot on his console. But, to be able to have Steam on Xbox, they're going to get you to pay a subscription to access it. This is about getting PlayStation games he can't get otherwise. He's looking for a back door and PlayStation was stupid enough to port games to PC and set themselves up for this. I saw this coming two years ago when Phil. Spencer said he wanted the option to have Steam on Xbox, not for the other games, because they're already on Xbox. He wants PlayStation games playable on his hardware to appear PlayStation wants to walk the same path he is as though he's paving the way of the future when really, he lost horribly in a tremendous embarrassment
Sony can simply block access like they do with the nvidia steaming stuff, so if that's phils plan, its gonna be a bust.
Depends how protective over their 1st party Sony is. Sony likes money and profits so who knows. Sony's games don't hit PC for a about a year or 2 after so I don't think Sony would deny access of their games through steam on Xbox.
Who knows tbh.
If it's just a custom Windows OS (which it already is)
It won't need any special licensing or anything. It's no different than buying a PC and downloading steam.
Seems cool but at the same time nothing would change on my end. Good for Xbox only gamers I suppose.
How is this going to work though?
And does this mean xbox consoles basically become steam machines?
So the rumours claiming future Xbox consoles are basically steam machines may not be that far off?
One theory is that the next 'Xbox box' will just be a Windows PC with a gaming frontend, letting you play games from all PC marketplaces. Another theory is that they might combine Steam's home streaming with Steam Family Share, so essentially, from a single app, Xbox, you could access your entire library across consoles and PC via streaming.
"And does this mean xbox consoles basically become steam machines?"
More like Steam will become Xbox. If the rumor turn out true, of course.
It will become part of the Xbox ecosystem. Nothing more, nothing less. It´s not really different from EA Play for example.
Because they couldn't get PlayStation games and with PlayStation releasing their games on Steam, this is how Phil Spencer feels like he wins. He wants PlayStation quality games on his console and he can't achieve that so by doing this, he figures he can now get his loyal Xbox fans to get God of War, Spider-man, Helldivers II, etc. He doesn't care about Steam otherwise, this is getting PlayStation quality games and PlayStation games on his console to move hardware.
PlayStation, we told you to keep it off the competition. Nintendo hasn't posted anything to PC or anything other than a Nintendo console for that matter, because they're confident in their hardware. By turning the Xbox, literally, into a PC, you can install Steam and make your Xbox a PlayStation, Xbox Xbox makes money for the hardware. PlayStation, you shouldn't have gone to PC to begin with. It's painfully obvious what the objective of this is

the only way i see it working, is steam is allowed to put its storefront on xbox but a % will go to microsoft, instead of steam getting 30% they will split that with microsoft and both will get 15%, so the next xbox could have multiple storefronts
15% is high to be honest. If Valve were to agree to something like that (which is a big IF), I don't see Microsoft get more than 3%, with Valve keeping the other 27%. Microsoft needs Valve waaaaaay more than Valve needs Microsoft. They may even just put the steam store on there for free while still doubling down on game pass.
i made enough in 20 mins on cards to buy Brothers so...YEAH FOR CARDS!
This is a terrible correlation since you can only gain a finite number of cards from each game and that number is less than what is required to create a badge.
People buy these things? I thought they're just for fun! I love how innovative Steam is with their achievements and collections to encourage people buy more games.
How come Sony isn't doing this?
What are the point of these badges and cards? Why are people buying them?
