Last week, Baldur’s Gate 3 players on Xbox Series X-S were caught off-guard when their uploaded clips of romance scenes—which include full nudity—were causing them to get banned, something Larian’s said it’s currently working with Microsoft on.

Nvidia came ready for CES 2024. Alongside the expected focus on its hot-ticket items including AI, robotics and tools for professionals, it announced The RTX 40 Super graphics card series. But there’s more. Its G-Sync variable refresh rate technology and GeForce Now streaming service are also getting some updates. In a move that surprised me…
