The console has only been available for a short time. Already PS5 gamers are heading to Steam to see if their joypad works with the popular gaming platform. Well, now it does. You simply have to select the DualSense as your controller within Steam’s settings menu and away you go....

Being one of the most popular pieces of gaming hardware of 2022, it was practically a given that the Steam Deck would receive its own set of transparent goodies. Up until now, however, there wasn’t anything of the like on the market, short of vinyl skins that showed off the gadget’s interior to a somewhat accurate extent.

This, however, won’t be an issue in the future, because Valve’s developers have confirmed that alternative refresh rates will, indeed, be available on the Steam Deck in the future. What this means is that games that hover between 30 and 60 FPS will now have a stutter-free mid-point target at 40 FPS, instead, which will likely be the sweet spot between performance and battery life.

The staggering discounts featured in seasonal sales have played a large part in making Steam the go-to digital download service for PC games, along with the wide range of indie titles and the convenience of having everything in one big library. Over the years the site has gone from strength to strength, and this week an impressive milestone has been hit. Earlier this year, EA’s COO Peter Moore boasted that rival digital download service Origin had 45 million registered users, and cited this as evidence that it was a legitimate competitor to Steam....

There are also plenty of titles offered by Steam for free as part of its free-to-play category, including incredibly popular multiplayer titles like DOTA 2 and CS:GO. However, Steam is not a platform that often gives away games that users previously had to pay for, and when it does, it also comes with the caveat that gamers have to claim their giveaway before a certain time in order to keep it....

Ben Roethlisberger left Pittsburgh’s 28-26 Week 2 loss to the Seahawks with an arm injury and coach Mike Tomlin announced Monday the 37-year-old will require season-ending surgery. Smith-Schuster reacted to the news on Twitter later in the day. “Prayers up to my guy Ben on his upcoming surgery,” Smith-Schuster wrote. “So sad to hear the news, but we’re gonna hold it down for you.” Roethlisberger has been with the Steelers since he was selected with the No....

The Mobile Virtual Player is a remote-controlled dummy developed by Dartmouth College and now being tested by the Steelers to reduce wear and tear on actual players. And it can scoot. “It’s an awesome piece of football technology,” Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said (via the team’s website). “The applications we are quickly finding are endless. It never gets tired. It runs at an appropriate football speed. All of the position groups are getting an opportunity to use it....

These two foes will meet for the second time in 2015 on Sunday (1 p.m. ET, CBS). Cincy grinded out a 16-10 win in Pittsburgh in early November against a healthy Ben Roethlisberger.

Wide receiver Antonio Brown was the latest to fall out of Pittsburgh’s plans, following running back Le’Veon Bell and linebacker Ryan Shazier. Last season, the Steelers had a strong contingency plan for Bell with James Conner, but they struggled to compensate for the loss of Shazier’s playmaking on defense. This offseason, they worked to not make the same mistake minus Brown and also aggressively went after a true Shazier replacement....

Starfield’s ambition alone will not be enough, however. Based on what’s known about the scope of Starfield so far, Bethesda’s recent history shows that its new game will need to prioritize more than scale. RELATED: Starfield is Probably Microsoft and Bethesda’s Big E3 2021 Play Starfield’s Ambition Based on everything revealed so far, Starfield will be an extremely ambitious game. Not only will it be the studio’s first new IP in years, but it will attempt to create an open-world RPG spanning multiple planets....

The Starfield concept art shared in these trailers gives a lot of great insight into the kinds of planets and cities that players will visit. This new spacefaring world looks as complex and inviting as one could hope for from RPG titan Bethesda. However, they might imply something a little disappointing too. As far as fans can tell, humans are pretty much the sole focus of Starfield. There’s room for uncertainty, but none of the concept art revealed so far clearly indicates that Starfield players can be aliens rather than humans....

And its easy enough to buy the notion that the Lakers are suddenly vulnerable. On Tuesday night, they got routed by the Dallas Mavericks, with Kobe Bryant’s feeble 12 points on 4-for-18 shooting particularly notable. Then on Wednesday, L.A. got poleaxed by the San Antonio Spurs, with David Robinson and Tim Duncan harassing the supposedly unstoppable Shaquille O’Neal into a mortal 2-for-10 evening. On this Texas swing, L.A. looked half-hearted on offense and clueless on defense, surrendering an average of 110 points per game....

Chip Ganassi Racing’s Jamie McMurray sits on the pole for the opening race of the third round of the Chase, which goes green Sunday afternoon at Martinsville Speedway (1:30 p.m. ET, ESPN).

This week’s advisory from Washington says American travelers may be subjected to “exit bans,” even in Hong Kong, where U.S. expatriates were long considered outside the legal grasp of Beijing. But the Chinese Communist Party began enforcing strict new national security laws in Hong Kong back in June, prompting punitive actions from the Trump administration. The Tuesday advisory is perhaps the most blunt warning yet to Americans who are considering traveling to Hong Kong or mainland China....

State Senator Tom Corbin’s proposal would expand the South Carolina’s definition of an “unorganized militia.” South Carolina’s state constitution currently allows the governor to form a militia using any “able bodied male citizens” aged 18 to 45. Under the new legislation, anyone 17 or older who can legally own a gun would automatically be a militia member unless they opt out. The proposal moved forward along party lines in a 2-1 vote during a Senate subcommittee hearing on Tuesday....

His comments on CNN come after he announced this week that he would quit the GOP and register as an independent in “one of the hardest” decisions he had made in his life. In a video message, he described the storming of the U.S. Capitol on January 6 as “the final straw” but also expressed his dismay at watching Republican officials challenge the results of the 2020 presidential election “with lies....

Dhawan has been receiving a lot of flak from the Indian supporters who are outraged that he has failed to deliver when the team needed him to. In the ongoing Test series, he has played 3 matches and in the 6 innings that he has batted so far, he has scored 158 runs at an average of 26.33. He and his fellow opener KL Rahul both have struggled to provide the team with a solid opening partnership....

After winning the toss and electing to bowl first, South Africa got off to the perfect start thanks to Steyn before Lungi Ngidi and Andile Phehlukwayo joined the party to first reduce Australia to 8/3 and then 66/6, from which they never really recovered. Despite some resistance from Nathan Coulter-Nile, Australia were bowled out for 152 in just 38.1 overs. In reply, South Africa’s openers Quinton de Kock and Reeza Hendricks put on 94 to all but secure the victory....
