In today’s Daily Fix:
Many have attributed Sony’s reported retreat from the PC gaming space to the upcoming Xbox console/PC hybrid, but according to a Sony developer, it might actually be because of Valve. Peter Dalton from the soon-to-be shutdown Bluepoint Games thinks Sony may have more to fear from Valve’s Steam Machine than the new Xbox, although both new devices are merging the PC and console gaming ecosystems. In related news, Valve has revealed the minimum specs for their "Steam Machine Verified" program, and they match with the Steam Deck Verified requirements, with some exception. Games need to run at 30fps at 1080p, which are 6x more than the Steam Deck’s minimum framerate and resolution requirements. And finally, Nintendo’s Pokémon Pokopia is launching to strong sales to back up strong reviews. In two days, the game has sold more than 2 million copies, an impressive number considering it’s a Switch 2 exclusive.
