    The new Xbox Home UI is getting a community section.

    Microsoft is adding a Friends & Community section to the new Xbox Home UI. The channel will live on the home screen and provide a quick glance at achievements, game clips, and screenshots that friends or clubs are sharing. It’s part of a bigger Xbox Home redesign for 2023, that has felt too much like an Xbox Game Pass ad so far.

    Good luck out there Zelda fans.

    I was going to hold out for a next-generation Nintendo Switch, but then Nintendo decided to announce a Zelda-themed OLED Switch. Now I’m sat in a virtual line at the Nintendo UK online store, with 17,627 people in front of me. If you’re also preordering the new Zelda Switch of your dreams, good luck!

    At least I can cook my dinner while I wait.

    Steam to drop Windows 7 and 8 support in 2024.

    Valve says it will no longer support Windows 7 or Windows 8 operating systems for Steam from January 1st, 2024. Steam relies on an embedded version of Chrome for some of its newest features, and Google start phasing out support for Windows 7 earlier this year. Future versions of Steam will also require Windows security features only found in Windows 10 and above. Less than 2 percent of Steam users run Windows 7 or Windows 8.
