The official PlayStation Studios Steam Curator page went live over the weekend and appears to hint a host of new content coming to PC. The page lists 41 games and pieces of DLC but only 24 are actually visible at this time - so speculation should be running wild any moment now.
- Horizon Zero Dawn, Helldivers, and Predator: Hunting Grounds are currently the only PlayStation titles available on Steam, though Days Gone is set to join later this week. Sony have previously said that they were open to bringing more PlayStation exclusives to PC, and the Epic v. Apple lawsuit recently confirmed that talks were held over a 4-6 game deal.

Even more rumours say Starfield is exclusive to Xbox and PC
One of the industry's most recurring rumours has recurred yet again thanks to GamesBeat's Jeff Grubb, who took to Twitter the other day to write “Starfield is exclusive to Xbox and PC. Period. This is me confirming that.” So there we go.
- While little to nothing has been seen of Starfield since it was announced way back in June 2018, Grubb apparently believes that it will make an appearance at E3 next month and will likely release next year. Starfield has managed to remain very mysterious over the years, so a release coming so soon would certainly be a surprise.
Call of Duty Warzone has now banned over half a million cheaters
Raven Software have been on the ban warpath again and over the weekend confirmed that they have now banned over 500,000 players from Warzone - that's up quite a bit from the 300,000 bans reported back in February.
- Warzone, like pretty much all popular multiplayer titles, has had a serious problem with cheaters since release. Raven's dedicated enforcement team is obviously doing good work but, with the game now boasting over 100m players, they'll certainly have their work cut out for them going forward.
Fall Guys' source code leaks on Steam
Mediatonic had a bit of a disaster this weekend when they somehow managed to leak all of Fall Guys' source code via an accidental Steam update. If was deleted very quickly, of course, but was helpfully captured by SteamDB curator Pavel Djundik for future generations to have a nice laugh.
- The fact that the information came from a directory named "BackUpThisFolder_ButDontShipItWithYourGame" makes the whole thing a lot funnier, although this name is auto-generated by Unity. Mediatonic probably aren't too amused, though - Fall Guys had enough problems with cheaters before the studio published its source code.
