Horror game Post Trauma just got a terrifying new trailer, which you can watch exclusively on Digital Trends. The clip reveals that Raw Fury’s new horror game will launch on March 31 for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.

Post Trauma is a new survival horror game from developer Red Soul Games. It draws inspiration from Silent Hill, with an emphasis on psychological terror and puzzle solving. The project was initially announced during the 2022 Game Awards and eventually given an October 2024 release date before being pushed into 2025.  Now, publisher Raw Fury is rolling out the red carpet for it ahead of its release next month.

The new trailer contains a montage of unnerving images, showing off dark trainyards, fleshy monsters, and good old fashioned shotgun pump. That’s all powered by Unreal Engine 5. If it’s all a bit to cryptic for you, know that the story follows Roman, a train conductor voiced by Togo Igawa who finds himself stuck in a surreal alternate dimension. The voice cast also includes Autumn Ivy and Hyoie O’Grady.

Starting today, players can try Post Trauma for themselves with a new Steam Next Fest demo. That will be available through March 3. You can wishlist it on Steam if that demo clicks with you.

Digital Trends recently went hands on with Post Trauma‘s demo ahead of its launch today. We found that it stayed true to its Silent Hill roots with its focus on fixed camera angles, eerie environments, and brain-busting puzzles that beg for notetaking. Though its less focused on action, there are still plenty of grotesque abominations to smash in with crowbars. It’s shaping up to be a classic survival horror experience that’s reverential of the genre’s past without going the retro route.

Post Trauma launches on March 31 for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.

Valve’s expensive mini PC could become PC gaming’s new baseline
Steam Machine with Steam Controller

Valve’s Steam Machine has become easy to dunk on. The price starts well above current consoles, and the hardware sits somewhere between entry-level and mid-range gaming PCs rather than a monster rig. Early reviews have also talked about how demanding games need upscaling, trimmed settings, and realistic expectations.

With the ongoing memory crisis, it sounds like a rough time to bring a PC to the couch. Though the Steam Machine doesn't need to beat high-end gaming PCs or the big consoles. Its purpose was different from the start. And what really makes it better is how it could shift the PC gaming segment entirely.

GTA 6 may not get the real physical release fans were hoping for
The game may come in a case, but not on a disc

Grand Theft Auto 6 pre-orders recently went live, but the excitement came with one frustrating catch. The so-called physical edition of the game will not include a disc. Instead, buyers will get a box with cover art and a download code inside.

That decision immediately caused backlash online, especially among collectors who still care about owning games on disc. For a while, there was some hope that this would only be temporary. Reports suggested that Rockstar could release a proper disc version of GTA 6 in December 2026, giving physical media fans something to wait for.

The Steam Machine launch hasn’t even happened, but the resale circus has begun
Scalpers are already trying to cash in on Valve’s Steam Machine

Valve has started sending out reservation emails for the Steam Machine ahead of its June 30 launch, and scalpers have wasted no time turning the whole thing into a comedy act.

The Steam Machine is already an expensive device, as RAM and SSD prices have made hardware pricing miserable across the industry. Valve has previously said it would like to lower the price if component costs improve. That makes the resale listings even harder to take seriously, because the official price was already higher than many people expected before scalpers added their own fantasy tax.
