Valve is reportedly ditching VR to focus on the Steam Deck
https://www.kitguru.net/gaming/mustafa-mahmoud/valve-is-reportedly-ditching-vr-to-focus-on-the-steam-deck/
According to insider Tyler McVicker (and collated by Reddit user Awkward96), Valve as a company has mostly lost interest in VR. This is said to be due to the fact that Facebook (now Meta) has managed to gain a stranglehold on the market by purchasing many of the biggest VR developers. The Quest 2’s success is undoubtedly another factor – pushing the market into a standalone VR future.

Coming via 4Chan (and as such should be taken with a pinch of salt), a remaster – not remake – of 2008’s Mirror’s Edge is said to be currently in the ending stages of development. The game will reportedly be announced at the upcoming Game Awards – which is set to take place on the 9th of December – and will then be officially released in February 2022.
Regarding those rumors about a Chrono Cross remaster, dataminers have found in the gacha RPG Another Eden files regarding a crossover with Chrono Cross, and a collaboration with Square-Enix for the game was just announced. Live-stream with the announcement will be on the 4th of December and dataminers say the collaboration will go live on the 9th.
Edit:
Ubisoft Connect PC Client was added to Steam default package, suggesting Ubisoft is coming crawling back to Steam.

Another contributing factor to the less flattering bottom line was the performance of the company's digital storefront, GOG.com. Despite the addition during the quarter of older Star Trek games, Myst, and new titles like Psychonauts 2, GOG only saw revenues inch upward 3% to PLN 41.8 million ($10.1 million).
At the same time, GOG posted a segment net loss of PLN 4.75 million ($1.14 million) compared to the 130,000 PLN ($31,000) it realized in the year-ago quarter.
