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 […]

A new version of the Max Payne RTX Remix path tracing mod demo is now available for download, introducing further visual improvements. Version 0.5, which can be downloaded from here, removes the normal maps from the main character model's head, face, arms, and hands, as well as from surfaces to make them flat, improving how they look with path tracing. Additionally, the new version reworks lighting throughout to make everything brighter and introduces some experimental physical lighting to muzzle flashes and a few more changes over the previous version. The Max Payne series is getting closer to its official revival […]
Much like its predecessor, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom looks incredible with some choice mods, including those introducing ray tracing. A new video put together by Digital Dreams shows the latest main entry in the series by Nintendo running on PC via emulation with some mods, including the UltraCam mod, which introduces a variety of visual improvements and the Beyond All Limits Raytracing ReShade preset. While in some scenarios, the game looks a little too bright, there's no denying the visual improvements these mods bring to the game, making it look and run much better than it […]
A new Starfield mod brings significant visual improvements by overhauling interior lighting, effects, and ambient light. The Enhanced Lights and FX, whose beta version can be downloaded for free from Nexus Mods, aims to create more atmospheric and realistic lighting by overhauling, as mentioned above, interior lighting, effects, and ambient light. This is achieved by making all interior light sources actually emit light, removing lights being cast from nowhere, increasing the use of reflection probes to improve reflections and indirect lighting, tweaking fog, redesigning light to make it more atmospheric, and more. Needless to say, the end results, even in […]
A Doom II: Ray Traced comparison video was shared online this week, highlighting the stunning visual improvements the path tracing mod brings to the classic game. The video, put together by Cycu1, does an excellent job showing not only how stunning the game looks with path tracing but also how much the atmosphere is improved, making the game almost feel like a horror game at times. Sadly, path tracing sometimes makes it difficult to spot enemies in the dark, which is expected, but it's only a minor issue compared to how much better the game looks with path tracing. 2024 and 2025 are […]
New Skyblivion gameplay footage was shared online, providing a new look at the mod, which will attempt to remake the fourth entry in The Elder Scrolls series using Skyrim's engine. The new footage, which can be watched below, showcases a big part of the map and multiple quests set in the shown areas that seem to have been recreated quite faithfully from the original. Hopefully, the rest of the project will feature the same level of quality as the sequences shown in the new footage. Skyblivion has been in development for quite some time, but thankfully the wait won't be […]
A stunning Doom II: Ray Traced path tracing mod is now available for download, turning the classic second entry in the series into something unreal. The path tracing mod, which can be downloaded from here, utilizes GZDoom, adding features like global illumination, ray-traced shadows, voxels, and fluid-based blood simulation.

The latest version of a popular Cyberpunk 2077 brings significant performance improvements with path tracing at all resolutions, as showcased by a comparison video shared today. The new video put together by MxBenchmarkPC highlights how the 5.0 version of the Ultra Plus Engine Control Panel mod, which optimizes path tracing so that the game can run more smoothly with little impact on visual quality, brings up to 40% performance improvement. It delivers framerates close to 60 FPS at 4K resolution and ultra settings with NVIDIA DLSS 3.7 in Balanced mode. Smoothness is further improved with NVIDIA DLSS 3 Frame Generation, […]
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 […]

A new Zelda: Ocarina Of Time mod promises to turn the classic entry in the series into the latest, Tears of the Kingdom, by introducing a new gameplay mechanic. This new mod, which is being developed by notCHase for the Ship of Harkinian open-source PC port, gives Link the power to fuse objects to weapons and shields similar to Tears of the Kingdom. While this ability definitely breaks the game, the possibilities it offers are very interesting to see. Sadly, the mod is not yet available for download, but hopefully, it won't take long for it to launch. In the […]
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim continues to be an impressive game even over ten years since its original launch, mostly thanks to the work of modders who have improved gameplay mechanics and visuals considerably over the years. YouTuber Digital Dreams shared today a new video showcasing how the fifth entry in the series by Bethesda can look in 2024 with a vast selection of mods, over 3100 mods, including the Complete RT shader by NiceGuy, an advanced screen space ray tracing shader that lets users add global illumination with effects like Diffuse Illumination and Specular Reflection, ambient occlusion, and glossy […]
