A Flurry of Sneezes – The TouchArcade Show #502

In this week’s episode of The TouchArcade Show I give everyone an update on my “about to have a baby" situation. We then spend some more time talking about Valve’s Steam Deck handheld gaming PC, since a whole bunch of hands-on previews came out in the past week. Next we discuss the antitrust bill that might force Apple and Google to allow third-party app stores and sideloading before we spend the back half of the show covering all the big mobile gaming news of the week, including the surprise resurrection of Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls. Links to all these topics can be found in the Show Notes below.

Don’t forget to shoot us emails with any questions, feedback, or anything else relevant or irrelevant to [email protected]. We read ’em all, and love decoding messages written entirely in emoji.
