Playground Games and Microsoft have revealed the first 100 (of just over 200) cars featured in the upcoming Xbox exclusive, Forza Horizon 2. Horizon is the more laid-back, open world cousin of the Forza Motorsport franchise, and this iteration further refines the powerful engine introduced in the Xbox One launch title, Forza Motorsport 5.

In addition to the cutting-edge 2015 Lamborghini Huracán that was first revealed with the game, you will be able to collect, customize, and drive a diverse array of cars of all stripes. The’ve all been built from the ground up in the new engine to achieve maximum verisimilitude with exciting new features like functioning windshield wipers, interior lights, and dynamic dirt-mapping.

The developer post highlights a few of the 100 newly revealed cars to underline the vastly different driving experiences possible within the game. If Horizon 2‘s southern European setting has you pining for days past when European sports cars were king, take a spin in the classic 1954 Jaguar XK120 SE.

Less concerned with speed and just looking to have a good time with your friends? Cruise around in a 1963 Volkswagen Type 2 De Luxe microbus and solve a few mysteries and/or start a Beatles-inspired murder commune.

Maybe you’re sick of all that fancy-schmancy European design and just want some utilitarian, American engineering? Then buckle up, soldier, and head off-road in the 1945 Jeep Willys MB. While you’re scouring Europe for remaining Nazis, contemplate that the jeep apparently took its name from a trans-dimensional jungle dog that would help Popeye.

Hades 2 shows the Steam Deck’s biggest advantage over the Nintendo Switch
A Steam Deck sits next to a Switch OLED.

It's always an exciting week when the sequel to one of the greatest games of all time surprise releases on a Monday. That's what happened on May 6 when Hades 2 surprise launched into early access. Players are already diving into the surprisingly robust roguelike, testing their might in its new biomes. I've been enjoying it myself from the comfort of my couch -- and not on my Nintendo Switch, where I played the first Hades. Instead, I'm curled up with my Steam Deck.

The PC-only launch means that Hades 2 is a Steam Deck "exclusive" for the time being (or at least exclusive to portable PCs like it and the Asus ROG Ally). It'll likely come to Nintendo's system -- or its predecessor -- once it hits 1.0, but developer Supergiant doesn't expect its game to leave early access until at least the end of 2024. Until then, you'll need a device like the Steam Deck to play it on the go. That's a reminder that Valve has beaten the Switch at its own game, and Nintendo will have to get creative again with its next system to regain its throne.
Early access on the go
Based on my time with it so far, Hades 2 is a phenomenal match for the Steam Deck. It's already Verified for the platform, and for good reason. It looks fantastic (especially on an OLED screen) and runs smoothly. I've already taken it on the go and found that it's not a huge drain on the Steam Deck's battery. At this point, I don't imagine I'll need to play it any other way.

Before you play Homeworld 3, try this VR game as a primer
Two fleets fight in Homeworld: Vast Reaches.

Homeworld 3 launches next week, but there's a game Homeworld fans who own a Meta Quest 2 or 3 should check out right now. Homeworld: Vast Reaches, which came to Meta's VR headsets on May 2, is a prequel set between the events of the first two Homeworld games. This VR game offers up the core Homeworld experience in a novel niche of the video game medium.

It's not as deep or complex as Homeworld 3 looks, but it doesn't need to be. Vast Reaches immerses players in the franchise's universe once again and reacquaints them with the basics of its real-time strategy combat ahead of a highly anticipated new entry on PC. As such, checking out Vast Reaches should make this last week of waiting for Homeworld 3 a little less painful.
Homeworld, but in VR
Homeworld: Vast Reaches was developed by FarBridge, who has previously worked on VR games like Walkabout Mini Golf, Dragon Fight VR, and Jar Wars. Made with Gearbox Entertainment's support and blessing, it boils Homeworld down to its core elements and rebuilds it in VR. Players control a new Fleet Command connected to Karan S'jet's Mothership, which is the conceit behind how players view battles.
