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 […]

Gaming seems destined for an all-digital future, but even as players overwhelmingly buy games digitally, they still appear to be opting for consoles with disc drives over ones without them. According to recent data on the current state of the console r...
The PC version of God of War Ragnarok doesn't offer many opportunities to scale beyond the PlayStation 5's Quality display modes, but with some choice mods, the latest entry in the series can look outright gorgeous. A new 8K resolution video shared on YouTube by Beyond Dreams shows the game running with ReSTIR G.I. in Complete Ray Tracing and a custom ReShade preset which bring improved global illumination, ambient occlusion, enhanced FOV, Color grading, and more. In pretty much every scenario shown in the video, the mods make the game look incredible and much better than it does on PlayStation […]
A new God of War Ragnarok patch is now live for the PC version of the game, improving AMD FSR 3 frame generation and fixing a variety of issues. Patch 4 focuses on fixing several issues, including crashes, authentication flow, and texture issues, which will no longer unload while looking at the menu for a set amount of time and won't be shown loading in while using fast travel through the Realm Between Realms. The new God of War Ragnarok patch also fixes an NVIDIA memory leak issue caused by switching between different Frame Generation settings. The patch, as mentioned […]
This week, Sony opened up pre-orders for the items in its 30th Anniversary PlayStation 5 collection, and for many at least, the experience of trying to snag anything was one of confusion and frustration. Also, we’ll tell you about a great arcade platfo...
The God of War Ragnarok PC port is most definitely solid, but it offers few options to scale visual settings beyond the PlayStation 5 version and sometimes looks worse than it as well. Earlier today, Digital Foundry provided an in-depth look at the port, highlighting how the new version of the game is a great way to play it, thanks to shader compilation issues being pretty much non-existent, thanks to the move to DirectX 12 over its predecessor, great support for ultra-wide and super-wide aspect ratios, NVIDIA DLSS, AMD FSR, and Intel XeSS upscalers, complete with frame generation where applicable […]
I’ve been replaying God of War Ragnarök now that it’s on PC, and despite some clear, widespread technical issues with depreciating framerate, this is still fundamentally the same excellent sequel that launched on PlayStation in 2022. I put a few hours ...
As reported in a previous article, Steam users are blasting God of War Ragnarok for Sony's decision to mandate linking of a PlayStation Network account to play the game, as well as for some performance issues. Thankfully, iArtorias already created a mod that removes the PSN account requirement by stripping away the PlayStation PC SDK runtime requirement. To install the mod, just download the latest release and copy the version.dll and PsPcSdk.dll files to the game folder. The modder also noted that users still encountering the login screen error should remove this file: C:\Users\[Username]\\Saved Games\God of War Ragnarök\[AccountID]\userpreferences. Also, upon the […]
God of War Ragnarök is now facing "review bombing" on Steam, following Sony's requirement that PC users connect to a PSN account, in a repeat of the Helldivers 2 review bombing for the same reason. Sony eventually reverted the mandatory PSN account, but that was only because, at launch, it hadn't been the case, and people were pissed they could no longer play the game they had purchased. The PC port of God of War Ragnarök was a highly awaited title among fans, mainly due to the original hype built by the console release, which received a perfect score on […]
God of War Ragnarok officially releases on PC today, two years after its release on console. While the game was well received by both critics and the general population, one of the biggest gripes was how invasive the puzzle hints were. This is something that was also similar in the first game but wasn't as bad as it is in God of War Ragnarok. With the release of the title on PC, players will be able to reduce the frequency of puzzle hints from companions in the gameplay settings. While it's nice that there is an option to receive hints […]
If you played God of War: Ragnarok on PlayStation, then punctuating your declarations about how bloody marvelous it is, you will almost inevitably have cried, “STOP TELLING ME WHAT TO DO!” For some reason, Ragnarok is absolutely convinced that you’re s...

The God of War Ragnarok PC system requirements have been revealed today, and they are not particularly demanding compared to other games released this year. As confirmed on the Official PlayStation Blog, the game will require at least an Intel i5-4670k or AMD Ryzen 3 1200 CPU and an NVIDIA GTX 1060 or AMD RX 5500 XT GPU and 8 GB RAM to run at native 1080p resolution, 30 FPS average, and low settings. Running the game at higher resolutions and better framerates will be more demanding, although the requirements for native 4K resolution at 60 frames per second look […]
