Being able to encrypt and protect your data can be important, even if it’s to stop your little brother from accessing your Steam library, and at CES this year Lexar revealed its Touchlock SSD, which melds 128-bit AES hardware encryption and a capacity of 512 GB or 1 TB (and a 2 TB version has…
Until now, you’ve likely not paid much attention whenever you’ve found a Fine Wristwatch in Arc Raiders. You sell it for a bit of cash and nothing more, immediately moving on to something else. However, now you need to find one for your Weather Monitor project and you’re no doubt scratching your head, wondering where…
After making us wait for the better part of a year, Kojima Productions finally made the PC version of Death Stranding 2 official earlier this month. And with the release now just over three weeks away, port developer Nixxes has unveiled the official PC system requirements, which I’m happy to say aren’t terribly onerous. Obviously,…
Even 130 hours into Mewgenics I still don’t feel like I’m close to exhausting everything it has to offer, and according to Edmund McMillen I’ve still got a very long way to go. So I’m both excited and a bit intimidated to see the game’s co-developer Tyler Glaiel start talking about mods and DLC. He’s…
Completing A Rising Tide in Arc Raiders‘ new Shrouded Sky update sees you venturing into the new Controlled Access Zone area in Dam Battlegrounds.

I say this because, as spotted by VGC, Prototype’s original studio seems to have reforged itself in a new form. New…
A third-party tool, OptiScaler, has beaten AMD to the punch in using FSR 4 upscaling with Vulkan-based games. According to a changelog on the tool’s Discord server, the latest test build, v0.9.0-pre10, has “added Vulkan w/Dx12 support – FSR4 VK w/Dx12, FSR 2.1 VK w/Dx12” (via Reddit user eduhfx). OptiScaler lets you expand the number…
Completing A Dead End in Arc Raiders is just one of the many new quests you can undertake as part of the Shrouded Sky update. This one sees you heading into the underground of Blue Gate to crack open a locked room and collect an item for Shani—it’s fairly straightforward, but a bit confusing if…
