Valve first revealed its upcoming hardware lineup late last year, including the new Steam Frame headset, Steam Machine gaming PC, and a next-generation Steam Controller. All three were originally planned for a Q1 2026 launch, but ongoing memory and storage shortages forced the company to delay the releases to a later point in 2026. While the delay is disappointing - especially given the Steam Machine’s potential to shake up the compact gaming PC market, much like the Steam Deck...

13-Apr-2026, 6:27 pm Cleonidas Gaming News Release date

Last Flag launches April 14, bringing a fresh take on Capture the Flag with strategic gameplay, team coordination, and dynamic match flow.

Over the years, shooters have mostly evolved along two familiar paths. On one side, you have games that push raw mechanical skill to the limit, like Counter-Strike 2. On the other, there are titles that build depth through abilities and roles, like Overwatch 2. But somewhere between those two approaches, there’s been a noticeable gap—one where gameplay isn’t driven purely by reflexes, or entirely by ability-based systems.
