Valve Steam Controller review: A gamepad in search of a console
Don't mistake the Steam Controller for a PC controller. Even though its main function is to play PC games, Valve's new gamepad communicates with Steam, and only Steam. This is not a general controller for your PC, Android or iOS devices, and it's certainly not compatible with any console on the market today, unless you count the handheld Steam Deck. In order to play a game with the Steam Controller, you have to boot it up through Steam. (More on this later).

Valve's end goal for the Steam Controller is compatibility with the Steam Machine, a console that doesn't yet have a public release date or price point. The Steam Machine will support 4K gaming at 60 fps with FSR, it'll come with 512GB or 2TB of SSD storage, and it'll work with the Steam Frame VR headset, as will the Controller. The new Steam Machine was supposed to drop early this year, fulfilling a long-promised dream of PC gaming by moving your entire Steam library to the couch in a compact but powerful box. Due to the memory shortages plaguing the tech industry, the Machine and Frame aren't here yet, so the Steam Controller is the first step in Valve's hardware takeover of living room territory.

Oprah brings her podcast to Amazon's streaming services
Amazon has brought another high-profile podcasting name into its fold after agreeing to a multiyear licensing deal with Oprah Winfrey. Her podcast will expand to two episodes a week starting in July and it will be available across the likes of Prime Video, Amazon Music, Fire TV channels and Audible. New episodes will still hit YouTube and other podcast platforms, according to Variety.

Winfrey will stick to the same format she's been using on YouTube since starting a podcast channel there at the end of 2024. It will feature interviews with authors, celebrities and others in the public eye.

In addition, Winfrey will create specials based on her Oprah's Favorite Things and Oprah's Book Club franchises for Amazon. The company is also licensing all 25 seasons of The Oprah Winfrey Show but Winfrey and Amazon haven't figured out exactly how to repurpose the long-running talk show as yet. 

Last year, Amazon split its Wondery podcast company in two, with a team focusing on narrative podcasts merging with Amazon's Audible team and a crew that handles celebrity-hosted shows forming a new division called Creator Services. That group promotes podcasts like New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce and Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard across Amazon's various properties, as
