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.

Gurman hints about Apple working on making smart home products like security cameras for a more integrated experience […]

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition was updated today on PC, bringing back what is unarguably one of the most despised features ever implemented by Bethesda in its popular role-playing game. Update 1.6.1130 brings back the despised paid mods that were implemented into the game back in 2015 which can be found in a new menu that unites the previous Mods and Creations menus. These paid mods are mostly from known modders, cost too much for what they offer, and they are not as good as some of the free mods that are available for the game. Unfortunately, the […]
The Fallout TV series is set to debut on Amazon Prime Video early next year, and today a new article in Vanity Fair revealed a ton of interesting new info about the series. It seems the Fallout show will stick relatively closely to the source material, with the usual factions you’d expect – Vault dwellers, the Brotherhood of Steel, the Ghouls, ect – but it isn’t a direct adaptation of any of the games. The main character is Lucy, a Vault dweller who has to venture into the dangerous world above on a rescue mission. Lucy will be played by […]
If you think Starfield is a bad game and let your opinion known to the world by leaving a review on Steam, there's a chance Bethesda will respond to your review to prove you are wrong. As reported earlier today by JuiceHead on X/Twitter, Bethesda Customer Support employees have been responding to negative Steam reviews, attempting to counter criticism regarding, for example, loading screens, which are apparently justified by the sheer amount of the expansive procedurally generated gameplay, empty planets, which are meant to be so by design and more. While it is understandable that Bethesda wants to respond to […]

The latest update for Bethesda sci-fi RPG Starfield is here, and it brings much-anticipated DLSS 3 support to the game. Bethesda has been testing DLSS 3 in beta for the last couple of weeks, but now it’s available to all players. Other bullet points include improved GPU optimization, particularly for higher-end cards, the fixing of some memory leaks, the ability to chow down on the various food items you find around the world, and, of course, plenty of good ol’ stability and performance improvements.

Back when The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion was in development, Bethesda threw a part when they were informed about the Xbox 360 specs, according to Todd Howard. As revealed in a new interview with Wired going over his video game career, Todd Howard revealed how much the team was struggling during the development of the fourth entry in the series, as they were developing the console version of the game based on the original Xbox, which lacked the memory the developer needed for their big role-playing game. When Microsoft informed them about the Xbox 360 specs and its increased memory, […]
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim made its debut on PC and consoles 12 years ago now, and it can still hold its own in 2023, thanks to the amazing work of modders that is constantly updating the game's visuals and gameplay. In a new video shared on YouTube, Digital Dreams showed how glorious the game can look in 2023 with ray-traced global illumination and the FNEB ENB preset, which attempts and succeeds at making the game's visuals feel more realistic without taking away their trademark fantasy feel. You can check out this unofficial remaster of one of the most popular […]
The new Starfield beta update, which introduces NVIDIA DLSS 3 support to the game, brings performance improvements even without using NVIDIA's upscaling tech, judging from a new video shared online. The video, which was put together by Compusemble, puts the latest stable version of the game side by side with the new version running at 4K resolution, max settings without DLSS, with just Super Resolution and with both Super Resolution and Frame Generation. While Super Resolution and Frame Generation bring considerable performance improvements, the game runs much better in the new beta version even without them, with considerably lower frametimes […]
Despite the release of tons of mods to date, Starfield modding is considered to be quite difficult as the game's code is hard to work with, in addition to the current absence of support and official modding tools. At least, that's what one of the founders of the Starfield Community Patch group, Timothy "Halgari" Baldridge, said in a recent interview with Eurogamer. Last month, the group released its first unofficial community patch for Bethesda's game, addressing issues that haven't been fixed by Bethesda. According to the modder, the only reason that the team can successfully mod and fix many of […]
A couple of new Starfield mods that are available for download introduce significant visual improvements for NPC and architectural textures. Given how NPC generally don't look great in Bethesda's latest open-world role-playing game, the Retina-Photorealistic Eyes Overhaul is extremely welcome, as it replaces the game's eyes with real-life, accurate photorealistic eyes that significantly improve how NPCs look. The new textures are available in multiple resolutions, and they look amazing even in their performance version, which is better suited for 1080p resolution. Starfield environmental textures also leave something to be desired, and it is something that multiple modders tried to fix […]
