In case you wanted another reason to want the acquisition to be approved.
Current Activision Blizzard CEO, Bobby Kotick, will remain as the CEO of the company should Microsoft's $69 billion (USD) acquisition be blocked by regulators. This is according to sources speaking to Fox Business. They flatly say that if the deal falls through, Bobby Kotick "will absolutely remain at the gaming giant to run the company."

But will it be stutter free?
The system requirements for Atomic Heart were released to the public this past week. From the looks of things, the range of hardware that will be able to run this game is broad, which should be good for those that don't have the most cutting edge gear.
Set to release on February 21, Atomic Heart will send players into an alternate history where robots from the USSR go awry and you must use a variety of weapons and abilities to bring that robotic... -

Performance Improvements Promised for Forspoken
Though, there is no date yet.
Forspoken is a game that certainly has some performance woes on both the PlayStation 5 and PC. The lofty hardware requirements on PC certainly paint a picture of a game that has been poorly optimized. Trying to play the game on PC at 1440p with just 60FPS on a 1080 Ti wasn't exactly what I would consider "a fun time." Settings had to be lowered considerably and FSR had to be set to Ultra Performance to get anywhere near a stable 60FPS. Even then,... -
