Exciting Developments in the Gaming World: Edition #7
Written on
In this installment, I'm diving into some fresh updates from the gaming industry. Let's kick things off with a lighthearted topic.
Do you recall the hilarious “Big Chungus” meme? If not, it features Bugs Bunny in a comical pose aimed at Elmer Fudd, where he humorously inflates his size, earning the nickname Big Chungus due to his round appearance.
For a brief history of this meme, you can check it out here:

You might wonder why this nostalgic meme is relevant in a gaming news article. The answer is rather intriguing.
A Twitter user named Andrew Marmo recently shared a trademark application from Warner Bros. regarding Big Chungus.

This trademark suggests that Big Chungus might be featured as a playable character in Multiversus.
If you're unfamiliar with Multiversus, I've previously written about the game:

I’m eager to see if this becomes a reality, especially to discover what abilities and class Big Chungus will possess in Multiversus.
On a different note, nearly 10% of the games available on Steam are now officially compatible with the Steam Deck. If you're just learning about the Steam Deck, you can refer to my earlier article:
A New Hope For Portable Gaming :target: medium.com
While 10% may seem modest, it represents a significant number considering there are over 50,000 games on Steam, including many from indie developers. Most likely, the games you wish to play are already compatible with the Steam Deck, and many developers are expected to update their titles for support soon.
If you seek even more options, you can install Windows on the Steam Deck to access the entire library of games.
In a prior article, I discussed a portable cloud gaming console created by Logitech and Tencent Games, and now we have a clearer picture of its design and user interface thanks to some leaked images shared by Twitter user Evan Blass. Unfortunately, those images were later removed. However, you can find them in this article by Android Authority:

The design appears sleek and minimalistic, reminiscent of the Nintendo Switch Lite. The user interface seems user-friendly, making navigation a breeze with organized categories by streaming service.
I eagerly await an official unveiling from Logitech and Tencent Games.
That wraps up my seventh update on current gaming news. If you’ve come across any noteworthy gaming developments I may have missed, feel free to share your insights in the comments—I’d love to hear your thoughts!
