I can't ignore the elephant in the room: Grand Theft Auto 6 is out this month, but we still don't know when we'll see Rockstar's return trip to Vice City launch on PC. When we asked in a poll whether y'all planned to wait for the PC release, play it on console at launch, or double dip and do both, a whopping 71% said you would wait. Modding is half...

France's Syndicat des Travailleureuses du Jeu Vidéo (STJV) union has accused Microsoft of sabotaging work on Marvel's Blade and then using the inevitable results to justify Arkane's closure.The union said development of Blade "is going fine," and that the game is on par with Arkane's previous body of work, which includes the Dishonored series, Prey, Deathloop, and the sadly overlooked Dark Messiah of Might and Magic. Despite that, "workers have...

Intel has already committed to bringing its XMX-powered upscaling and frame generation tech to Linux via Valve's Proton compatibility layer, but one enterprising developer is clearly not willing to wait for the chip behemoth to get it working and has released an experimental version on Github (via Phoronix).This new release promises "real Intel XeSS super resolution and XeSS Frame Generation inside Proton games, running on the GPU's XMX (matrix) units...

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said on a recent podcast that "from a global allocation perspective, actually it's quite terrible to have everyone have a bunch of the world's limited supply of DRAM sitting in their own computer, and be used 5% of the time."Altman was talking about people running AI models locally rather than relying on data centers, which allow RAM usage to be maxed out in this "very supply-constrained...

Last month we got news that Wing Commander 3, the FMV space-combat sim with perhaps the highest concentration of Mark Hamill in any videogame, would be getting a remaster. Producer Jim Vessella is heading up the project, and revealed it during a presentation at the Portland Retro Gaming Expo.What he did not reveal, it turns out, is that five other Wing Commander games—plus Road Rash—would be getting their own dolled-up...

We've been early adopters of Rust since 2018 and a lot of our infra, voice tech, and even some of the current client is already Rust, the holy grail was getting the whole client there. That means Electron goes away, and so does React Native, mobile keeps native UI but shares app… https://t.co/2CgWyOzaq0 pic.twitter.com/IdOGd4nUglNovember 4, 2026Open up Task Manager and check how much memory Discord is currently hogging on your...

The class's inclusion is welcome...

Los Santos CustomsI'm modding GTA 5 every day in a quest to either transform it into a PC version of GTA 6 or break it entirely. Come back tomorrow to find out what new horrible thing I've done to Rockstar's baby, or check out what I got up to earlier.Am I cheating? I might be cheating. I did not actually install a new mod for today's iteration of Los Santos...

Grand Theft Auto 6 finally arrives on November 19, but not for us, no—the big day is only for gamers on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. We're not being completely excluded, though: We can't have GTA 6 in November, but we can take advantage of pre-release discounts on a bunch of older GTA games—deals that, ironically, don't appear to be available on consoles.As noted by GamesRadar, there are four...

Some implementations of secure shell (SSH), one of Linux's most trusted and secure connection protocols, have been found vulnerable to the most peculiarly simple methods of bypass: spamming characters. On some distros, simply type 257–1,024 characters and you get access to the root (admin) login. Thankfully, the list of vulnerable distros is quite small and niche, and OpenSSH has already issued a workaround/fix.In some new release notes, OpenSSH explains that...
