Hyperkin has released The Competitor, a controller designed to bring the aesthetic and layout of Sony's PlayStation 5 DualSense to Xbox and PC users. While it incorporates several upgrades over the standard Xbox pad, it remains wired-only and lacks some key DualSense features. Priced at $50, it offers a comfortable alternative for gamers seeking a familiar feel across platforms.
Valve has announced the Steam Machine, a powerful living-room gaming device, alongside a revived Steam Controller with significant upgrades. The hardware aims to bridge console and PC gaming, targeting couch-friendly experiences without the complexity of traditional setups. Analysts predict strong potential if priced competitively around $400 including the controller.
