Apple is increasingly focusing on building its own devices and expanding its ecosystem by taking steps towards a more native experience for users and relying less on third-party accessories. While the Cupertino-based tech giant's HomePod and AppleTV have left quite the mark in the smart home category, it generally relies more on outsourcing cameras and other hardware for smart homes. Now, a new report suggests that the company intends to create a fully integrated experience by developing its own smart home accessories. Gurman hints about Apple working on making smart home products like security cameras for a more integrated experience […]

Microsoft's and Bethesda's Starfield isn't coming to PlayStation 5 anytime soon, according to journalist Jez Corden. Last month, various sources reported that Microsoft would be going multiplatform. One of the games that would be coming to PlayStation 5 was said to be Starfield. Recently, however, Xbox boss Phil Spencer said that, while confirming that a select few former Xbox console exclusives would be going multiplatform, Starfield isn't coming to Sony's console as this point. "I don't think we should as an industry ever rule out a game going to any other platform", Spencer said about the possibility of other Xbox […]
The Starfield Shattered Space DLC could be revealed soon, judging from some recent activity on the Steam backend. As spotted by Reddit user Salmagros, the Downloadable Content section of the game on Steam was recently updated in the backend with a new Unknown App, possibly the yet-to-be revealed expansion. Very little is currently known about the Starfield Shattered Space DLC besides the fact that it will include new story content, locations, and gear. The expansion is expected to be released sometime in 2024. Despite having been criticized quite a bit by the community, Starfield still managed to be a success, […]

Last week, on the heels of rampant rumors and speculation, Microsoft announced that while they aren’t porting their biggest games like Starfield to other platforms, they would be bringing four slightly lower-profile games to the competition. At the time, Phil Spencer wouldn't say what these games were, but as of today we now know three of the four. During the latest Nintendo Direct it was announced Grounded and Pentiment are coming to Switch, and now we know Hi-Fi Rush is coming to PS5. We know this because Bethesda’s Latin American channel seemingly set a trailer live too soon – it’s […]
Last week the gaming world was thrown into a grade-A tizzy, when XboxEra reported the rumor that Starfield would be going to PlayStation and other platforms. In short order, rumors that Indiana Jones and the Great Circle and even Gears of War were being considered for multiplatform releases began to make the rounds, raising the specter of Microsoft going fully third party. Well, we may want to slow down just a bit. Noted insider NateDrake/Nate the Hate, who has delivered accurate info numerous times in the past, was one of the first to endorse the XboxEra rumor, but it seems […]
New Starfield AMD FSR3 frame generation comparison videos were shared online today, highlighting how AMD's tech has made important strides since its debut last year. The first comparison video, put together by MxBenchmarkPC, highlights impressive performance gains at 1440p resolution on an RTX 3080 GPU over XeSS 1.2 and DLSS 3.5 (Super Resolution only, as Frame Generation is not supported on the 3000 series cards) with minimal impact on the visuals. The performance gains are pretty much in line with the FSR3 mod that was released late last year. Starfield's AMD FSR 3 frame generation brings considerable performance improvements even […]
We heard recently that Starfield was getting ready to add support for FSR 3 for those who opt into beta testing, and it seems today is the day! A new Starfield Steam Beta update adds FSR 3, which will deliver smoother performance via frame generation, similar to the already-available DLSS 3. Players can also look forward to support for XeSS, some fixes for some vexing save file stability issues, and more. You can check out the full patch notes for Starfield update 1.9.67 below… Graphics Added support for AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution 3 (FSR 3). (PC) Added support for Intel […]

Starfield, the latest big RPG developed by Bethesda, will be released on PlayStation 5 sometime in the future, according to rumors circulating online. As reported by XboxEra, sources who asked to remain anonymous as they were not authorized to talk about Microsoft's plans revealed that the Bethesda RPG will hit Sony's current generation console some time after the game's first DLC expansion, Shattered Space, launches on PC and Xbox Series X|S, which is set for release this year. Apparently, Microsoft made some additional investment into PS5 dev kits to support ongoing development efforts, which supposedly also include Hi-Fi Rush and […]
As a AMD partner game, Starfield has offered strong support for FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) from the get-go, so many were wondering when support for FSR 3 might arrive considering the game got DLSS 3 support via an update last year. FSR 3 is, of course, AMD’s answer to DLSS 3, with both techs adding frame generation to the mix for higher framerates and smoother performance. According to Bethesda, FSR 3 will be coming to the Starfield Steam Beta next week, and then will roll out to all players sometime within the month, before the game’s next major update. “We're […]

Fast forward a couple of weeks, and this major patch has now moved out of beta and has been made available on both Xbox Series and PC. Main features of this brand-new update are improved lighting, animation, faces as well as numerous bug fixes. In addition to improving lighting, the update also improves widescreen support, adds support for stars displaying sun disk geometry, improves […]
Starfield may not be the best-looking open-world RPG released in recent times, but its visuals are only a few tweaks away from being stunning, as showcased in a new video shared online this month. The video, which was put together by Ultimate Graphics, shows the game running at 5K resolution (5120x2880p) with the Ultimate Graphics preset, which introduces realistic lighting and colors as well as screen space ray-traced global illumination support, the Gravity LUT, Halk Hogan's HD Reworked Project and other mods. With these mods, the game truly looks phenomenal. While modders are releasing plenty of visual and gameplay improvements […]
