As promised last week, the ousted founders of Subnautica 2 studio Unknown Worlds have filed a lawsuit against publisher Krafton, effectively accusing the company of sabotaging the game in an effort to avoid paying a $250 million earnout—and, when that failed, of seizing control of the company outright.Subnautica was a major hit, and Subnautica 2 appears set to follow in those footsteps, with nearly 2.5 million wishlists on Steam alone...
Since its Western release on June 24, horse girl gacha racer Umamusume: Pretty Derby has been steadily warping the collective noosphere. Anime girls based on very real race horses have proven a uniquely potent fascination, driving those caught in their psychic gravity well to become amateur chroniclers of Gold Ship's countless crimes while others destroy innocent websites by ordering infinite grass for a retired failhorse.In the last 24 hours, the...
CD Projekt confirmed today that Cyberpunk 2077's 2.3 update will arrive on July 17 with four new vehicles, an autonomous driving feature (including, finally, self-driving Delamain cabs), upgrades to the photo mode, and—the big one, to me at least—an option to kick Johnny out of the car if he starts to get on your nerves.Cyberpunk 2077's 2.3 update came as a genuine surprise when it was announced in early June,...
Rejoice, for Microsoft has upgraded its Copilot Vision AI assistant with access to your entire desktop in Windows 11. Mercifully, this is an opt-in feature limited to preview builds of Windows 11, not something being rolled out compulsorily via Windows Update, for now. So our AI bot overlords haven't quite taken over the PC.Microsoft announced the move on the official Windows blog. "Now you can choose to share your whole...
Oops, looks like Reddit just went down. Or at least sorta down. A strange tech issue hit the site, which means it could no longer display any content. Not a single thread.The issue appears to affect most regions, as we've experienced it across the UK and US here at PC Gamer. Head to Reddit and you were shown the homepage and your subreddits in a list, but click on anything...
When testing MSI's QD-OLED monitors, such as the new MSI MPG 322URX, we've generally come away impressed, especially by the HDR performance. One catch has been that the two HDR modes those displays offer both come with clear compromises. But perhaps no longer, thanks to a new HDR mode MSI is releasing as an update.Until now, MSI (and other OLED monitor makers, for that matter) have included two optional HDR...
Completing the Fallow mission in Destiny 2's new The Edge of Fate expansion is surprisingly tricky because of one specific moment during the final Devastator Mind boss. The rest is relatively straightforward—you Matterspark and fight your way through the Aionian Campus, and get introduced to the Uplifted Choral Minotaurs; enemies you have to defeat to un-shield destructible vex nodes you can then destroy to remove a barrier.It's a pretty straightforward...
A team of researchers led by the (take a deep breath) Photonic Network Laboratory at the National Institute of Information and Communication Technology in Japan has announced a successful test of the world's first successful petabit-class internet transmission over 1,000 km. That's a lot of words which essentially mean—new mega-fast internet connection tested over long distance and worked. Oh, and you can plumb me in right now, if you like.Actually,...
Nvidia's long-fabled Arm chip is one of those rare PC hardware prospects that comes along every now and then and really tickles the excitement bone, primarily because it feels very new—like when Intel started its discrete Arc graphics cards. So naturally, I'm sad to hear that the project might be delayed until next year.That's according to Charlie Demerjian of SemiAccurate, who cites "multiple sources" confirming that Nvidia's latest "whoopsie", in...
I've always had a fondness for thumb drives, which is why I've historically been put off by even the best external SSDs. This isn't purely for the practicality of it, either; being able to move over data by simply swinging a pair of keys (or a lanyard if you're brave) around and plugging into a rig is something that appeals to me as a guy who wants to save the...
