  Some Twitter User Says Half-Life: Alyx is Coming to PlayStation VR2

  Hot off the rumor mill from the most trustworthy of sources.
  
  Fairly random Twitter user @Shpeshal_Nick says that Half-Life: Alyx is coming to PlayStation VR2. This person isn't completely random. They are Nick Baker, the co-founder of XboxEra.com and co-host of a podcast of the same name. So, it's not like Joe Dingleberry is out there making these claims, but this is hardly an official source making them either.
  
  In responding to a question about whether or not Valve would...

  DICE Removes Battlefield 2042 Rush Mode from Portal

  This comes as the player count begins to hit all-time lows.
  
  Prior to going on their holiday break, DICE added in a Battlefield 2042 Rush mode to Battlefield Portal. It proved to be a fairly popular mode, at least as far as Portal modes are concerned. It was the much enjoyed Rush mode but played out across the Battlefield 2042 maps, something that just isn't possible in the main game. DICE kept it up longer than most other modes and fans seemed to be pleased.

  Death Stranding Director's Cut Confirmed for PC

  This release will be one of the first to utilize Intel's XeSS technology.
  
  As many had hoped back when it was first announced for the PlayStation 5, Death Stranding Director's Cut is indeed coming out soon for the PC. The PS5 release happened on September 24, 2021 and the PC release is said to be coming out Spring 2022. I'm going to guess it will be a late March 2022 release as that will place it almost exactly six months out from the original PlayStation 5 release.
