Interestingly, unlike your typical open-world game, it seems you don’t improve your skills in Star Wars Outlaws by gaining XP, but rather, by tracking down “experts” who […]
NVIDIA's Computex 2024 keynote was largely focused on AI, but there were also a couple of news for gamers, starting with the fact that Star Wars Outlaws will support NVIDIA DLSS 3.5 after all.
