According to the discovery, dropping the controller from around three feet or higher causes it to let out a scream. Not just any scream, either. It appears to play the legendary Wilhelm scream, th...

Capcom Reveals That Pragmata Has Sold Over 2 Million Copies | The Outerhaven

Capcom has another win on its hands, as Pragmata has officially sold over 2 million copies worldwide. The news was shared today through the official Pragmata social media account, and honestly, this is fantastic to see for several reasons. Pragmata is a new IP, it is an amazing game, and most importantly, it is not a live-service game. In a market where so many publishers keep chasing that model, seeing a single-player-focused third-person “dad shooter” break through like this feels like a big d...

Better yet, the game is launching this summer for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. The reveal came with a brand-new trailer that immediately looked like more of what made the first game so enjoyable. More Xenomorphs. More weapons. More chaos. Honestly, that is exactly what I wanted to see from a sequel to Aliens: Fireteam Elite. As far as Ali...

Opinion: PlayStation’s PC Strategy Needs Clarity, Not More Mixed Signals | The Outerhaven

PlayStation has every right to decide where its games go. These are Sony’s studios, Sony’s games, and Sony’s platform. But the conversation around PlayStation pulling back from PC has become exhausting, mostly because PlayStation itself hasn’t said anything officially. No PlayStation Blog post. No investor call confirmation. No statement from leadership. Just reports that have snowballed into people acting as if Sony already confirmed it’s done with PC entirely. Here’s the thing though. I think...

Steam Controller Sells Out on Launch Day, And the eBay Scalpers Are Already Circling | The Outerhaven

The Steam Controller went on sale on May 4th, 2026, and sold out faster than most people anticipated, and that’s saying something, because expectations were already high. I won’t sugarcoat it: attempting to buy the controller was not a smooth experience. In an attempt to streamline checkout, I preloaded my Steam Wallet rather than using a credit card. My logic was simple: if you’re buying directly from Valve, using Valve’s own payment system should make things easier. It certainly did not. Despi...

Valve has taken to social media to address the situation, confirming that the Steam Controller sold out far faster than it expected.

Every so often, I find myself randomly browsing the internet. Sometimes it is for work, sometimes it is because I am bored, and sometimes it is because I just end up clicking on something that catches my eye. That is exactly what happened when I stumbled across a video of a street paint artist being handed a brand-new Xbox Series X and asked to give it a custom look. At first, I had no idea what to expect. I mean, who just hands someone an Xbox Series X and says, “go ahead, paint this thing?” Bu...
