Nvidia is taking PC gamers back to 2006 with a Steam demo full of nostalgia. You can unbox the legendary GeForce 8800 GTX virtually, install it in a Windows Vista PC, and explore a gaming room from 20 years ago. Nvidia is even using modern RTX technology like path tracing, DLSS 4.5 Ray Reconstruction, and Dynamic Multi Frame Generation to bring all the fun little Easter eggs in this demo to life.

Valve is testing a new Personal Calendar feature in Steam that generates a calendar of new and upcoming games you might like. Fortunately, you can lower the number of suggestions from the default of 100, which I found made my calendar way less overwhelming.

About a year after Valve introduced the feature, which recommends new and upcoming games you might be interested in and even shows some on an actual calendar, it’s now considered a “full feature” of the Steam Store, Valve says. My personal calendar page has me pretty dead to rights; among other games, it recommends Final Fantasy Resonance, Star Wars: Galactic Racer, both of which I reviewed and really liked, and some indie games I already had my eye on.

The default one shows art from games you’ve played recently, but there’s also a “retro inspired” screensaver that features a bouncing Steam logo, lol. Valve is also testing a “Big Art Mode” for your home screen that more prominently features art from your games. There are a bunch of other new features, too: read about them all in the new Steam beta update notes.

Steam Frame Hub reports that the Steam Frame kernel source code includes branches referencing a “Plano” device and says the headset will have a resolution of 3552 × 3840 per eye (higher than the Frame) and a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip (same as the Frame). Valve watcher Brad Lynch speculates that it could be Valve “just trying to prototype headsets with this optical stack based on what’s already lying around.” For what it’s worth, Valve released the Steam Deck OLED more than a year and half after the original Deck.
