Exciting Updates in the Gaming World: News Roundup #7

Chapter 1: The Return of Big Chungus
In this article, I'll delve into some of the latest developments in the gaming sphere. Let’s kick things off with a humorous topic.
Do you recall the iconic "Big Chungus" meme? If you're unfamiliar, it's a comical depiction of Bugs Bunny from a classic episode where he parodies Elmer Fudd. Bugs inflates his form to mock him, earning the moniker Big Chungus due to his hefty appearance.
You might be wondering why I brought up this nostalgic meme in a gaming news article. The reason is quite intriguing. A Twitter user named Andrew Marmo recently shared an image of a trademark posted by Warner Bros.
This trademark pertains to Big Chungus, with plans for its inclusion in a video game. If you haven't connected the dots yet, this suggests that Big Chungus might soon be a playable character in Multiversus.
If you're not familiar with Multiversus, I previously wrote an article discussing the game. Personally, I am eager to see whether this becomes a reality and what unique skills and class Big Chungus will possess in Multiversus.
Section 1.1: Steam Deck Compatibility Updates
In other news, nearly 10% of the games available on Steam are now officially supported by the Steam Deck. If you're just learning about the Steam Deck, I have another article dedicated to it.
Although 10% may sound minimal, it's important to note that there are over 50,000 titles on Steam, many of which come from indie developers. This suggests that a significant number of games you wish to play are likely compatible with the Steam Deck.
Many developers are expected to update their games for Steam Deck support soon. Alternatively, if you desire more options, as I mentioned in my Steam Deck article, you can install Windows on the device to access all 50,000 games.
Subsection 1.1.1: Logitech G Handheld Console Leak
I previously introduced a portable cloud gaming console created by Logitech and Tencent Games.
Thanks to leaked images, we now have a glimpse of what the device and its user interface might look like. A Twitter user named Evan Blass shared these leaked images, though they were later removed from his account.
The design appears sleek and minimalistic, reminiscent of the Nintendo Switch Lite. The user interface also looks user-friendly, which is reassuring for easy navigation. It seems that games are organized by the streaming service provider, making access straightforward.
I eagerly await an official announcement from Logitech and Tencent Games.
