Steam Charts Spotlight Halo: Campaign Evolved; AMD Keeps Gaining Steam CPU Share

Halo: Campaign Evolved has surged to No. 7 on Steam's Top Sellers chart, or No. 5 if the free-to-play title above it is excluded. The game now has a confirmed July 28, 2026 release date, plus five days of early access for Premium Edition buyers. It is also the second Xbox title in Steam's Top Sellers chart, with Forza Horizon 6 still at No. 1. windowscentral.com

Interest in the Collector's Edition is already colliding with resale gouging. Scalpers are listing copies on eBay for more than $600, even as fans try to secure the edition through normal channels. windowscentral.com

Steam's May 2026 hardware survey shows AMD continuing to close the gap with Intel among PC gamers. AMD reached 46.06% of CPU usage across all Steam platforms, while Intel held 55.02% among Windows-based Steam users, with AMD up 0.79 points from April. guru3d.com

Developer attacked over (learning from) AI - where to draw the line?

Clarification: Generative AI was not used to create the game (far as I'm aware) I think it's an overreaction. Whenever a certain segment of people hear "AI" at all their brains turn off and they go into attack mode. I've…

Are you accessing its full potential?

The Steam Deck has an architectural secret that puts it significantly more secure than practically every other gaming handheld. It has the power of an immutable file system. The concept of an immutable file system is that the core operating system directories are entirely read-only. Valve locks down the operating system cores so that random app installs, script execution, or accidental user terminal blunders can never break or corrupt the boot files. There is an A/B partition safety net, too. SteamOS uses dual system partitions: Partition A and Partition B. When Valve pushes an OS update, it s

Which one should be your pick?

The answer to this question will depend exclusively on where most of your game library lives. The Big Picture Mode, however stunning, only helps you to access your Steam library, and for someone whose collection is exclusively on Steam, it is the more mature option on Windows. That being said, the answer going to be quite different for the vast majority. Most PC gamers in 2026 have a game library that's scattered across Steam, Epic, GOG, Game Pass, and whatever launcher a publisher decided to force on them this year. The Xbox Mode works as an antidote to this problem by consolidating all of it
