From the looks of it, Meta is going hard to bring mixed reality gaming and productivity to the masses and giving it a big performance boost over the already impressive Meta Quest 2. Meta announced the Quest…
Cyberpunk 2077 is, finally, having its big launch moment. On Tuesday, buoyed by the 2.0 patch and expansion Phantom Liberty, the game hit its highest peak playercount since 2020. We loved Phantom Liberty, saying in our review that it’s “CD Projekt firing on all cylinders to tell a great RPG story.” It’s been a long…

Virtual reality finally has a place to call home within Steam. The new SteamVR 2.0 update finally gets rid of the mishmash of menus, styles, and widgets that plagued the original version, and replaces them with a fully featured Steam Lite interface. This new VR version of Steam is easier to navigate, better integrated into…
You can pick up the Treating Symptoms side gig in Cyberpunk 2077 almost as soon as you finish the opening quests of the Phantom Liberty DLC. Once you leave Myers at the hideout during Lucretia my Reflection, you should get a call from Mr. Hands which will open up a number of sidequests and conveniently…
If you are ever in California and want to have breakfast around some PC gaming history, Denny’s dedicated a corner booth to Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang at its San Jose location, where its founders came up with the idea for a “chip that would enable realistic 3D graphics on personal computers.” According to the company…
Today is that once-in-a-decade moment when Counter-Strike’s soul is transferred to a new body. Counter-Strike 2 will replace CS:GO at some point later today (Valve hasn’t specified a launch time). Plenty of Counter-Strike’s most devoted pros have been playing a pre-release version of the game for months, preparing for changes that, though quite miniscule on…
