Steam opens Kiln beta: Double Fine's Xbox Game Pass title arrives early for PC players

Kiln, Double Fine's competitive multiplayer pottery game tied to Xbox Game Pass, is available in an open beta on Steam for PC players ahead of its full launch on April 23, 2026. The preview lets players try 4v4 matches, crafting pots before unleashing them in battle; progress likely won't carry over to the final release, and participants will receive a Participation Trophy when Kiln launches, with achievements coming later.

Steam Quietly Removes Cozy RPG Over Suspected Tetris Clone Minigame

Starsand Island, a cozy farming RPG, was removed from Steam by its developers after discovering an in-game minigame that appears to copy Tetris elements (tetromino shapes, ghost piece, and a 10×20 board). The dev cited insufficient verification during planning and the use of expressions from external works without permission. Steam redirects to the homepage, and a new version reportedly prepped for release. Fans point to the Starblock minigame as the likely culprit, highlighting ongoing IP concerns around Tetris-like games.

Steam hints at a Framerate Estimator for performance charts

Ars Technica reports that a Steam client update hints at a forthcoming Framerate Estimator, which would show per‑game estimated framerates based on anonymized performance data from other users; it builds on Valve’s February data-sharing for compatibility and could let users compare per‑title framerates across hardware configurations, potentially aligning with Steam Deck/SteamOS initiatives, though how in‑game settings will be accounted for remains unclear.
