Over the years, Valve has moved away from the games that made it famous, but speculation is sure to abound as a new entry in the Valve database Steam suggests the company could be up to something big.
After the success of his portable PC, Steam Deckthe Washington-based hardware and software conglomerate continues to dominate the PC market, not least because of its digital storefront, which has been the model for other examples since.
However, many veteran gamers will remember the early days of the studio. Valve began exclusively as a video game developer, releasing the first half-life in 1998, which has become one of the most influential first-person shooters of all time.
Following a sequel, two games in the Portal series, the zombie action game Left 4 Dead and Team Fortress, Valve has been a force to be reckoned with in the video game industry. However, the company is currently mostly known for its Steam client, and while it continues to make games, many expect something big from its major releases.
Once again, the hype is heating up, as a recent discovery on the third-party website SteamDB shows that Valve has added a mysterious file called “Valve Event Upload” that is leaving people stumped. There’s no information on what this could be, but a recent video by Tyler McVicker says that as this is a “Setting”, it’s unlikely to be something someone randomly uploaded as only Valve can do anything with this type. of files, which are specifically related to “big releases” that only the company controls.
At the time of writing this note, there is no more information about what it is, but no doubt many will have their own theories. However, it should be noted that until anything is confirmed, any reference to what this listing could be should be considered speculation only.
