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.

Every now and then a company makes a figure that is meant to depict an iconic moment in a piece of media, and usually I look at these and go “cool,” before moving on. But this $300 statue of fan-favorite mercenary Rebecca from the Cyberpunk: Edgerunner...
Cyberpunk 2077 continues to be one of the best-looking open-world games released in recent years, thanks to mods that enhance the game's visuals to unprecedented levels. A few days ago, NextGen Dreams shared a new 8K resolution video showcasing the game running with path tracing and the DreamPunk 2.1 mod, one of the most demanding graphics configurations ever created. The mod's new version overhauls the graphics configuration, indirect lighting, light diffusion, LUT saturation, and much more to offer incredibly realistic visuals that look incredibly realistic. As development of Cyberpunk 2077 has concluded, it will be up to modders to continue […]

It felt like Shattered Space might finally bring space RPG Starfield closer to the original promise of its sprawling NASA-punk space adventure. Instead, the new expansion is getting slammed even harder than the base game by early players, and seems set...
Star Wars Outlaws is an impressive but messy game. It’s offers an incredibly immersive open world but puts clumsy stealth at the center of its gameplay. The beginning is slow and easy to fall off of. In the words of one Kotaku writer: “it’s a crappy ma...
Sometimes a voice actor nails a role so well the character becomes inseparable from their talents. That’s how it felt with Kevin Conroy and the animated Batman, and that’s how it feels with Doug Cockle and The Witcher’s Geralt of Rivia. So hearing the ...
I’ve heard Star Wars Outlaws described as the most “okay” game of all time, with nothing overtly exceptional standing out in its 16-hour campaign. I disagree to some extent. Ubisoft may not always strike gold, but they understand how to make an enterta...
Cyberpunk 2077 now supports AMD FSR 3.0 officially, which brings performance improvements with frame generation but still leaves a lot to be desired in terms of image quality. New comparison videos based on the game's latest version shared online highlight how implementing an outdated version of AMD's upscaler wasn't the best of choices, as visual quality is outright bad on multiple system configurations and at different resolutions, essentially negating the performance improvements brought by frame generation, which cannot be used with any other upscaler in the game. Besides introducing AMD FSR 3.0 support, the new Cyberpunk 2077 2.13 patch, which […]

A new Cyberpunk 2077 mod shared online a few days back further improves the game's visuals with ray tracing and path tracing with a simple yet very effective tweak. The Disable Fake Lights mod, which can be downloaded from Nexus Mods, does exactly what its name suggests. It disables all fake lights in the game, such as light emitted from advertising billboards, which are not required with ray tracing and path tracing, and lights attached to things like doors and windows, which break the visuals with path tracing. Without these fake lights, not only does the game look better with […]
The Witcher 4, also known as the "Polaris" project, will be the first entry in the series to be powered by the Unreal Engine 5. While this was definitely disappointing to learn for a lot of fans due to the known stuttering issues of the engine, the move could lead to some improvements that could benefit all of the games powered by the ending. According to the tech experts at Digital Foundry, if there is one development team that could solve the stuttering issues plaguing the engine, it is CD Projekt Red. Also, the team is well aware of them, […]
