| 6/21/26 |  New Steam Machine Next Week?! (+ The Wallpaper Engine Malware Crisis) | Show notes: https://www.patreon.com/OffTheConsole/posts/episode-86-show-161644177/edit The video game industry is in absolute chaos this week. From massive hardware leaks to shocking studio closure rumors, we are breaking down everything you need to know. First, leaks suggest a brand new Steam Machine could be dropping as early as NEXT week, alongside crucial updates on Steam Controller reservations. Meanwhile, Epic Games is firing back at Valve with a massive Epic Games Store V2 overhaul and AI integrations for Unreal Engine 6, but is it too little too late? We also dive deep into the devastating rumors surrounding Xbox potentially shutting down Ninja Theory, Double Fine, and Compulsion Games, Sony’s reported “desire for revenge” against Bungie with 50% layoffs incoming, Capcom’s new stance on killing the “auteur” era of game development, and a critical malware warning for anyone using Steam’s Wallpaper Engine. Support us on Patreon for bonus topics including deep dives into politics, our very first games, and why AAA gaming might officially be dead! 📢 Don’t forget to subscribe, leave a comment, and follow us on your favorite podcast app. Become a Patron! https://www.patreon.com/cw/OffTheConsole Join our Discord! https://discord.gg/dVkKcZH2Qy #SteamController #gamingnews Theme song composed by Gardiner Bryant | 1h 53m 36s | ||||||
| 6/14/26 |  The €220 Million Lawsuit That Could Change Steam Forever | Summer games showcase season just completely broke the gaming industry. In this episode, we tackle the massive bombshells from the Xbox, PC, and Nintendo showcases—including the return of Xbox console exclusivity, massive tech shakeups, and major legal drama. First up: Valve is officially discontinuing physical Steam Gift Cards, blaming scammers. But is that the actual, whole story? Plus, leaked Canadian FCC documents suggest a brand new Steam Machine or “Steam Frame” might be launching within weeks, and content creators are already getting their hands on them. Over in the courtroom, Nintendo completely failed to block Palworld—and it reportedly cost them a staggering $40 Million in legal fees just to walk away with a measly $30k payout. Meanwhile, Xbox just put on an incredible showcase featuring Gears of War: E-Day and Doom: The Dark Ages, but a dark cloud looms overhead as massive layoffs under new CEO Asha Sharma are reportedly imminent. We also break down the “RAMpocalypse” forcing laptop manufacturers to downgrade your memory, Google’s terrifying new AI music-training loophole, and our favorite highlights from the PC Gaming Show and Nintendo Direct (including Vanillaware finally coming to PC!).
