Steam beta update adds a new Big Picture view, screensavers, and a little treat for desktop Steam Machines

There’s a new Steam client beta update out, and for SteamOS devices like the Steam Deck or Steam Machine – or just the Windows client's Big Picture Mode – it’s meaty one, features-wise.

Just watched the #NintendoDirect and wow, that's a ton of amazing games coming to the Switch 2. I'm hyped!

We are finally getting a #YokaiWatch remaster! Fans have been begging Level-5 for years and it's a seriously underrated series that was overshadowed by Pokemon in the West.

Other noteworthy announcements for me:

Persona 4 Revival
Persona 6
Prof. Layton
Eternal Anima and Stage Fright look interesting as well.
The Switch 2 version of Xenoblade Chronicles

Not a Metroid player myself but the Metroid Ravenous trailer looks badass.

"But it's all remasters and ports..." - the way I see it - it's great to see that you don't need a 4000€ PC or a 1000€ Playstation to play some of the best games in recent years. Those complaining because they've already played Far Cry 3 or The Witcher 3 on PC/PS5 are NOT the target audience, simply as that 🤔

Today, I'm releasing a new website for blind gamers, built for 2026 and beyond.
So much of the information about blind-accessible PC and console games is scattered across the AudioGames.net forum, GitHub pages, Discord servers, and websites that haven't kept up with how quickly blind gaming has been evolving since the advent of AI. Unless you're embedded in Discord or the Audiogames.net Forum, you're probably not aware that over 70 games have been made accessible for the blind via modding this year alone.
What we've really needed is a website that tracks accessible mainstream games, with descriptions, direct links to their mods, and the information you need to get playing. "But that's a wiki," you exclaim. "But there are already lists like this," you plead. Well...
BlindGaming.net, aka The Blind Gaming Database, automatically tracks mod releases through GitHub and Nexus Mods. It also tracks game prices across Steam, GOG, Humble, and many key shops, with a genre filter and a page for ongoing sales. And for the nerds among us, each game has its own RSS feed and supports web push notifications. There are a lot of other small features, like cross-region price history, and an upcoming API for mod ratings and game access information. I also want to do a better job of raising up mod creators so people know how to support them!
All of this said, there's still much work to be done. If you'd like to help, consider writing a guide in Markdown or improving the existing Steam guide. I'd especially appreciate help from anyone familiar with console or Linux setup, so we can give people instructions they can actually follow. Finally, if you're interested in helping maintain the registry of games and have a track record in doing this kind of work, please shoot me a DM.
This is not intended as a replacement for places like the Accessible Gaming wiki, although I do my best to integrate with it and point people there when I can.
I'd love to hear what you think!
