Is Black Ops 6 Steam Deck compatible? If you were hoping to play the latest Call of Duty game on Valve's handheld, we have some bad news for you. The Ricochet anti-cheat system it uses isn't compatible with Linux, which means you'll need to dual-boot your Steam Deck with Windows in order to play. While the Steam Deck is the best handheld gaming PC, the limitations of its Linux-based operating system often impact its ability to run competitive multiplayer games where anti-cheat tech is deployed.

Now is a great time to make the leap to a super-fast SSD, as you can currently save a massive $85 on the 1TB Crucial T705, thanks to this Amazon SSD deal. This drive uses the PCIe 5.0 interface, and can run at blazingly fast speeds, which is why it usually demands a hefty $239.99 premium. At the moment, though, you can grab it for just $154.99, saving you 35% on the MSRP. If speed is your top priority, the Crucial T705 is the best SSD for gaming you can buy right now, with sequential read and write performance that doubles the speeds of some PCIe 4.0 drives. However, while this drive will run in any motherboard’s spare NVMe M.2 2280 slot, you’ll need to make sure your slot supports the 4x PCIe 5.0 interface in order to get the fastest speeds possible from this drive.

Overwatch 2 has had a very rough time. The sequel to what was once one of the most popular FPS games in the world, Blizzard’s hero shooter has faced constant criticism for a variety of reasons. For some, it was a premature and unnecessary follow up, a weaker version of Overwatch that eliminated what made the original game so great.

For a time, Overwatch 2 was the worst-rated game on Steam. But it’s just made a significant, if subtle, comeback.

Existing subscribers Canva teams subscribers are being moved to a new, more expensive pricing model. | The Verge The price of some Canva subscriptions are set to skyrocket next year following the company’s aggressive rollout of generative AI features.
