Catan – Console Edition Coming Early 2023
Imagine any console having a launch line-up as good as Steam Deck’s most played games in September
I’ve no idea how many Steam Decks Valve have sold, but cor: it sure seems to be a success in terms of the diversity of games people are enjoying on it.
Yesterday, the official Steam Deck Twitter account shared a list of the most played games on the handheld PC gaming machine in September. The list includes Vampire Survivors, Elden Ring, Stardew Valley, Cyberpunk 2077, Hades and No Man’s Sky.

Lego’s Atari 2600 is a brilliant bit of weaponized nostalgia – and we need a Sega console next
It’s now official, and irrefutable: Lego is no longer just for children. This has always been the case, of course, but in recent years the company itself has started to embrace this fact. First there was ‘Creator Expert’, a line of larger, more complicated and expensive sets. Then came adult-driven packaging, signaled by sleek black boxes and a marketing campaign that gleefully declares ‘Adults Welcome’. Like a lot of the best kids’ toys, Lego is for kids first – but is perfectly good for adults, too.
The Lego Group’s latest foray into the world of sets aimed at those hurtling towards their middle age at alarming speed is set 10306, the Atari 2600. This is exactly what you think it is – an almost but not quite real-life scale model of one of the most significant consoles in gaming history, dating all the way back to 1982.
Truth be told, the 2600 is quite a bit before my time (my first console was a Mega Drive), but I’m nevertheless definitely squarely in this set’s target audience: a video game nerd who also loves and collects complex-scale Lego, with an appreciation for the artistry of the older video game consoles. I mean, the machine has a wood grain finish, for goodness sake. You just don’t get that any more.

Yakuza 8 Is Now Like A Dragon 8, Coming To PC And Console In 2024
Yakuza developer Ryu Ga Gotoku has officially revealed Like a Dragon 8, the next game in its long-running series that will drop its Yakuza title. During the Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio Summit livestream, executive producer Masayoshi Yokoyama announced the game and showed off the first teaser trailer, which reunites Yakuza: Like a Dragon’s protagonist Ichiban Kasuga with Yakuza 1-6 hero Kiryu Kazuma.
Like a Dragon 8 will be released in 2024 on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC via Steam. The game will once again use the RPG elements introduced in Yakuza: Like a Dragon, and RGG is still deep in development on the title. Kiryu will have his own party to assemble in comparison to Kasuga’s team, which includes former nurse Yu Nanba and retired police officer Koichi Adachi. RGG is keeping the reasons behind Kiryu’s return a secret, but Yokoyama did tease that the Dragon of Dojima’s themes deal with “all the weight of the past on his back, and the man with all the weight of the future on his back”.
