This mod has been updated with RTX Remix.
Nvidia announced and released Portal: Prelude RTX, a remaster of a 2008 mod. This update includes updated visuals, support for raytracing, DLSS 3 support, and is the first game to publicly use RTX I/O.
Raytracing and DLSS 3 are both rather self-explanatory as several games have come out featuring these technologies already. RTX I/O stands for RTX Input/Output and is a new way for your GPU to reduce the load times for large amounts...

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.
Remnant 2 developer, Gunfire Games, says that the game will ship... -

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.
The FTC made the... -

Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart Doesn't Need an SSD on PC
Though it will utilize DirectStorage to help make up the difference in performance.
The system requirements for the upcoming PC release of Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart were shared earlier today in a now deleted Steam blog post. There are five separate configurations offered that show what sort of performance level you can expect.
Notably, the absolute minimum configuration isn't using an SSD as you would expect, but rather one of those dusty (and probably smelly) HDD.... -

Team Fortress 2 Hits New Concurrent Player Peak
This game came out in 2007.
After yesterday's update that added 14 community-created maps, Team Fortress 2 is breaking records. The game, which came out in 2007, just broke its previous concurrent player record.

Baldur's Gate 3 Devs Warn Against Starting Early Access Now
Progress is getting wiped in 3 weeks when the game launches.
Baldur's Gate 3 studio Larian Studios says it would be kind of dumb for players to dive too deep into the current Early Access release. The studio says that no progress from the Early Access release will carry over to the full game when it launches on August 3rd. They instead say to look at a purchase of the Early Access release as "essentially a pre-order."
Not only will all progress be wiped, but... -

Bungie Wins $500,000 in a Lawsuit Against Racist Loser that Threatened Employee
This victory has also set a new precedent for employers to protect their employees from online harassers.
Bungie scored another major court victory this week, winning almost $500,000 (USD) in damages and compensation from someone that repeatedly harassed one of their employees. The harasser in question is James Comer, who sent several racist and abusive calls to one of Bungie's community managers.

FTC Appeals Loss to Microsoft in Activision Blizzard Acquisition Case
FTC commissioner Lina Khan about to put rack up another loss.
Surprising many, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has actually decided to appeal a recent US federal court order that went in Microsoft's favor on July 11. That initial ruling, handed down by Judge Jacqueline Scott Corley, opened the doors for Microsoft to go ahead with their acquisition of Activision Blizzard.
As part of Tuesday's ruling, Judge Corley said, "the Court finds the FTC has not shown a likelihood...
