  Source 2 Engine Might Get RTX Support Soon

  Ray tracing support mentioned in Artifact's game files.
  
  Valve recently made an update to their digital card game Artifact.

This marks the first time that any sort of ray tracing support was noticed in any of Valve's Source 2 files.

  Hitman 3 on Epic Games Store Won't Import Steam Levels

  This is contrary to what IO said in the past.
  
  Previously, it was "known" that the levels from both Hitman and Hitman 2 would be able to be imported to Hitman 3. It was said previously by IO Interactive that players would be able to import content from their Steam versions of the first two games to be used in the Epic Games Store exclusive Hitman 3 (affiliate link). This simply meant that for no extra charge you would be able to import the maps from the first two titles into...

  Battle.net Gets a Fresh Visual Makeover

  Different? Yes. Nicer? That's up to you to decide.
  
  Chances are, if you have played a Blizzard or Activision title in the past few years, you have done so through the Battle.net launcher game client of theirs. This hub for all things Blizzard has been more or less the same for about the past eight or so years now. However, that all is starting to change today with the launch of Battle.net 2.0.
  
  It is a fairly drastic change for the client, especially if you have gotten used...
