In its never-ending quest to achieve algorithmic nirvana, Valve has updated Steam’s user review scoring system “for some games” to be calculated based on the language in which they were written. “When there are enough reviews written in a particular language, Steam will calculate a review score for that language,” Valve explained. “The Review Score…

By all reasonable metrics, the Battlefield 6 beta was a resounding hit. Not only is BF6 already very fun based on the handful of maps and modes we got our hands on, but the two-weekend playtest period broke records for the series on Steam. The beta wound down this morning with players clamoring for its…

I am a long-haired human being, and as a result, I spend a significant portion of my day trying to keep it looking smooth. If I were a game character, however, I’d be campaigning for the addition of Nvidia’s RTX Hair tech, as by the looks of what it’s done to the cast of Indiana…

Nvidia has officially announced RTX 40-series support for Smooth Motion ahead of Gamescom 2025, enabling last-gen Nvidia graphics card owners to turn on Frame Generation tech in virtually any modern game through the Nvidia app. We previously reported on RTX 40-series Smooth Motion support in the developer release of GeForce Game Ready drivers version 590.26,…

Nvidia has just announced that “probably the most-requested feature” from the community is being added to the Nvidia app: a DLSS Override global toggle.

The eagle-eyed and bat-eared among you might have already heard about Nvidia testing Blackwell hardware on some GeForce Now…

Nexon says it has discovered “certain irregularities” in a recent ad campaign for its gooner-looter-shooter The First Descendant, and is now “we are conducting a thorough joint investigation with TikTok to determine the facts.” A quick refresher course: It came to light over the weekend that a recent series of ads for The First Descendant,…

Maybe it’s just years and years of games like Fallout and Dying Light and Metro, plus a few decades of movies like Mad Max that take place after some civilization-shattering calamity… but I’m just a bit burned out on post-apocalyptic wastelands. Bleak, barren landscapes. Ruined buildings and rusted metal. Grubby survivors wearing tattered clothes. I’ve…

Phasmophobia is one of those games that shows early access at its best. It first released in September 2020 and had the core ghost-hunting experience nailed from the start, but it also felt a little like a proof-of-concept: There weren’t too many maps, the environments leaned heavily on asset packs and soon felt a little…

Polish up that forklift certification, wolf down one of Tom’s hot dogs, and prepare to ask your neighbours about sailors: Shenmue is back. Again. Specifically, Shenmue 3 is getting an enhanced re-release six years after it first came out (via Gematsu) with whizzier graphics and various quality-of-life tweaks. Publisher Inin Games didn’t deign to furnish…
