The game is already running on PC, but performance issues are aplenty.You can see progress is moving pretty fast from the emulator crowd, just from these two videos by Unreal Gaming PC...
Remember when Grand Theft Auto 6 was delayed, not once but twice? It's hard to forget: its first release date was treated as a day of mourning by some particularly upset fans. Despite all the outcries from fans, Take-Two Interactive chief Strauss Zelnick has repeatedly explained that he doesn't regret the decision. Talking to WSJ the interviewer asks Zelnick what his immediate emotion was after hearing from the team that...
World of Warcraft: Forever's launch has been downright impressive—MMOs are notoriously difficult to run servers for, particularly when it comes to launch, where players will get bottlenecked into servers, throwing devs into a catch 22: Do they increase capacity and wind up wasting money in the long run while things die down, or do they ride out the wave? And yet, after the chaos of the beta, it's been buttery...

Two weeks after literally calling "bullshit" on EA's decision to close BioWare, immsim legend Warren Spector has posted a follow-up message on LinkedIn that avoids the spicy language but sounds angrier than ever."I recently posted my thoughts about EA’s shuttering of BioWare," Spector wrote. "Those of you who read my post know that I was unhappy. I remain so."The tragedy of so many layoffs the last few years hasn’t been...

(Image credit: Rockstar Games)We've seen more of Grand Theft Auto 6 than we were meant to at this stage. All we were meant to have was a Netflix special, some sparse previews, and a very late launch trailer. But thanks to a certain leaker, some players have been able to see way more than we ever imagined. This was both good for those who wanted to see more of the...
World of Warcraft: Forever has proven extremely popular—and while I was preparing for the launch last night, I was bracing for the same experience I had in the beta. Namely: Long queue times, connection errors, and disconnects. At least I wouldn't have to use a VPN this time, I thought, that is some small saving grace.Turns out I needn't have worried. There was a brief panic, mind, when I finished...
With the Xbox Series X and S rapidly ageing, it looks unlikely that the next console generation will be affordable at all. As such, I've been looking at AMD to bring its modern GPU feature set to older hardware to stop me from having to upgrade. It seems it felt my gaze, and Xbox Series X, S, and Xbox handhelds now have FSR 4.1.2 support, which developers can turn on...
