  Red Dead Redemption Remaster Update 1.03 Adds 60FPS Option

  But only for the PlayStation 5.
  
  The remaster of Red Dead Redemption was released for PlayStation 4 back in August. While the release seemed largely fine (leagues better than the GTA Trilogy release at least), one of the biggest complaints from fans is the fact that there was no 60FPS option available anywhere.
  
  Though technically a PlayStation 4 title, the remastered Red Dead Redemption release can be played on PlayStation 5 through backwards compatibility. Even on the...

  Final Fantasy 7's Cait Sith Officially Pronounced 'Kate Sihth'

  Of course, people are upset.
  
  Square Enix officially revealed how to correctly pronounce the name of a Final Fantasy 7 character. For years, the debate on how to pronounced Cait Sith waged far and wide. I always read it as "Kate Sith" and it seems as though I wasn't all that far off the mark.
  
  Today, a tweet made to the official Final Fantasy 7 Twitter account put the entire debate to rest. A debate that goes all the way back to the launch of the original Final...

  Payday 3 Devs Suggest Matchmaking is Now Fixed

  This good news comes ahead of a major game update.
  
  The launch of Payday 3 was a complete and total disaster for developer Starbreeze Studios. Error messages, bad PlayStation 5 builds, and countless server issues ensured that nearly nobody was able to play Payday 3 for days after its launch. It got so bad that the Starbreeze CEO Tobias Sjögren
  ​ tweeted out an apology to everyone.
  
  Starbreeze now says that the matchmaking issues have finally been fixed. This...

  Review: Starfield

  A safe, if not soulless, journey through the cosmos.
  
  Bethesda Game Studios releases are safe. They are familiar. You know almost exactly what to expect when a major new release from them rolls around. They instill a feeling of "I know this game won't be groundbreaking, but I know I'll have fun." Yes, there are some obvious differences, but the heart of each Bethesda game is almost universally the same. The recent release of Starfield is no different. To put it bluntly: Starfiel...

  G FUEL Collabs with Friday the 13th

  They're offering a flavor that's to die for. Get it? Do you get it?
  
  G FUEL announces a new collaboration with Friday the 13th. Friday the 13th is a big franchise that had a decent asymmetrical multiplayer game at one point, so this seems at least tangentially related to gaming. Also, gamers drink G FUEL. I drink G FUEL and I play games. See? Full circle.
  
  The flavor is called Hack 'N' Slash Citrus Fruit Punch and will be available as part of a special Collector's Box on...
