Fans are Livid About New Starfield Announcement

AMD sponsored titles are notorious for not including DLSS support.

AMD announced that they have entered into a partnership with Bethesda for the latter's upcoming release of Starfield. This announcement just happens to come at a really bad time for AMD.

    Blizzard Admits Mistakes Were Made in Season 1 Patch for Diablo 4

    The studio promises to never do a patch like it ever again.

    The latest major patch for Diablo 4 nerfed the every living hell out of several key abilities across every class in the game. The update, version 1.1.0a that came out on July 18th ahead of the start of Season 1: Season of the Malignant, has been heavily criticized by players for days now. The update nerfed several abilities across every class that, for many players, made the game just unfun to play.

    Not a very stealthy fest if it's announcing itself this early.

    As with the thousand (give or take) previous Steam Fests that have occurred, this one comes with a preview trailer to give a sample of what's to come.

The August 10th release date on Steam is the same day that its next season, Season 6: Invasion, is slated to begin.

    60FPS Performance Mode Confirmed for Remnant 2

    In a world where 60FPS on current-gen is uncertain, it's nice to get some good news.


    Several games lately have shipped without any sort of a 60FPS performance mode option on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. What used to be the norm near the launch of these newer consoles has now seemingly become so uncertain that it's now newsworthy when a game announces it will ship with a 60FPS performance option.

    Microsoft - Activision Blizzard Deal on Hold Until August

    This is the acquisition that never ends. Yes it goes on and on, my friend.

    As reported on several times last week, the only remaining hurdle standing in the way of Microsoft closing the deal on their Activision Blizzard acquisition was the UK's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA). Microsoft and the CMA got together on Monday, July 17th as planned to try to either finalize a deal that would satisfy the CMA.

    After a few hours of talks today, both sides agreed that Microsoft...

    FTC Loses Request to Extend Pause on Microsoft's Activision Blizzard Deal

    Microsoft is now (almost) free to close the Activision Blizzard deal after 11:59PM (PT) today.

    The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals just denied the Federal Trade Commission's request to issue an emergency stay to extend a temporary restraining order. The current restraining order ends July 14, 2023 at 11:59PM (PT). This failure to get that temporary extension means that Microsoft, if they wanted to, could close the deal with Activision Blizzard tonight.

  • What June 2023 Games Releases Will You Buy?
    by Shawn Zipay
    It's a fairly stacked month.

    May and into June is usually when the mid-year lull begins for new game releases. Yet here we are in June 2023 and there are some big games either already out or coming out in the weeks ahead.

    There are several games coming out this month, many of which you might call "bangers" that you might just happen to have your eye on. This month's poll is simple and probably a retread of a poll (or several) that have been done in the past....
