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 […]

Today, out of the blue, Ascendant Studios announced the release of the much-awaited Immortals of Aveum update that introduces AMD FSR 3 support on consoles. This is the first time that a console game supports any frame generation technology. Ascendant Studios accomplished the feat with the help of Enduring Games, an Austin-based studio that co-developed a lot of big titles, including Demon’s Souls for PlayStation 5, Godfall for PS5 and the Epic Games Store, Knockout City for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, and Xbox, the cross-platform play update for Borderlands 3, building the first Unreal Engine video-on-demand application with Crunchyroll for the […]
May is shaping up to be a very, very good month for Xbox Game Pass—with some sleeper hits, like magic FPS Immortals of Aveum, and new games, like Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II, arriving soon. And I bet Xbox is happy to have some good news to share right n...

Over six months ago, independent developer Ascendant Studios promised to bring AMD FSR 3 to the console versions of Immortals of Aveum. No console game so far includes any frame generation technique, making this a world-first. After a fairly long time spent in total silence on the subject, Ascendant Studios has now told Eurogamer's Digital Foundry that in just a few weeks, it will release the 1.0.6.4 patch with AMD FSR 3's frame generation component for consoles. The developer worked alongside Enduring Games, which also helped develop the base game, to ship this new feature. Enduring has a long track […]
Immortals of Aveum was one of those games that got swallowed by the unprecedented slew of triple-A releases that dominated gaming in 2023. A new IP from a new studio, the game didn't fare well at launch, sandwiched as it was between behemoths like Diablo IV, Baldur's Gate 3, Starfield, Armored Core 6, et cetera. This led to Ascendant Studios having to lay off around 45% of its employees just a few weeks after the debut of Immortals of Aveum. However, the developers kept working on the game. Speaking to GamesIndustry, Ascendant Studios founder Bret Robbins said sales have improved […]
In 2024, AAA games are often built around the idea of continuous revenue streams with microtransactions and live-service elements. Perhaps it’s corporate delusion that makes leadership think a needlessly large budget makes for a better game, but making...
Immortals of Aveum was the debut game of Ascendant Studios, an independent developer with triple-A ambitions. Founded by former Electronic Arts and Sledgehammer Games Creative Director Bret Robbins, the studio wanted to deliver a sci-fi single player shooter focused on magic, and it partnered with EA to publish the game. Unfortunately, the game had a weak reception. At launch, it had massive stuttering problems on PC, and even on consoles it didn't really make a splash. Immortals of Aveum received a 6.5 score in Wccftech's review: Immortals of Aveum makes a solid early impression with engaging magic-infused FPS action and […]
Those with an active Game Pass Ultimate subscription can now purchase the Deluxe Edition of Immortals of Aveum for only $7.99. Some days ago we already reported on some massive discounts for Dead Space Remake and Wild Hearts for those with Game Pass Ultimate, and now Ascendant Studios' first-person magic shooter can be purchased for an absolute bargain as well. This only appears to apply to the game's Deluxe Edition (which is a nice bonus to have), and we're not sure if this deal is available in all regions. In any case, a massive discount is available for those in the US […]
Immortals of Aveum, the recent first-person magic shooter, is likely coming to Xbox Game Pass and PS Plus at some point. That's what the CEO of development studio Ascendant Studios, Bret Robbins, said in a new interview with Windows Central. In this interview, Robbins talked about the disappointing launch of the game back in August of this year, which caused the studio to lay off about 45% of its team. "Today, we are heartbroken as we part ways with friends and colleagues at Ascendant Studios - about 45% of our team", the CEO wrote in a message posted on Twitter […]
