Key Takeaways

Steam Deck Reservations

The highly anticipated Steam Deck gaming device is now available for reservations on the Steam platform. Interested users can secure their spot in line to receive the device, but due to high demand, reservation dates are already extending into 2022. For the 512 gigabyte model, customers might have to wait until Q3 2022. Valve has implemented a reservation system to manage demand, ensuring that all orders will be fulfilled over time. So, even if your reservation date is distant, Valve guarantees eventual fulfillment of your order.

Cryptocurrency FIFA Farm

In recent news from Ukraine, the country's police force uncovered a surprising operation involving thousands of PlayStation 4 consoles. Initially suspected of crypto mining, it was revealed that the consoles were actually being used to farm Ultimate Teams in FIFA 20. This mode allows players to build soccer teams using virtual player cards, which can be earned or bought. The operators aimed to obtain valuable player cards to sell on the black market for real money. This incident sheds light on the significant value placed on virtual items within gaming communities.

Skyward Sword HD

The remastered edition of "The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD" has launched on the Nintendo Switch, drawing acclaim for its enhanced visuals and gameplay improvements. Originally debuted on the Wii in 2011, this version revitalizes the classic with significant upgrades, appealing to both longtime fans and newcomers. The enthusiasm surrounding this release indicates its success in rekindling fond memories of the Zelda series. Meanwhile, anticipation continues to build for potential remasters of other iconic Zelda games like "Ocarina of Time," "The Wind Waker," and "Majora's Mask," as the community looks forward to experiencing these beloved titles with modern enhancements. As Nintendo hints at more classic revivals, players are currently delighting in the immersive experience of Skyward Sword's legendary narrative and the origins of the Master Sword.
