PCGamesN Saturday, February 12, 2022 7:45 AM  The latest online MMO from Amazon Game Studios, Lost Ark, is finally out now on Steam - where it's doing record numbers, hitting a peak of nearly a million concurrent players on its first day despite the game's servers struggling to keep up. In fact, it's the fifth-highest player count Steam has ever recorded. Lost Ark may have originally launched in Asian territories all the way back in 2019 but it finally came out on Steam worldwide yesterday, give or take a few hours. It was already immediately apparent that it was going to be a huge hit, but now that the free-to-play version is out Lost Ark is doing ridiculous numbers. According to SteamDB, on its first day as an official free-to-play release Lost Ark hit a concurrent player count peak of almost a million people - that's 984,111 players, to be exact, and it could well cross the million mark later this weekend now that the servers are more stable.

PCGamesN Saturday, February 12, 2022 7:19 AM  Elden Ring is coming to PC February 25, 2022, and publisher Bandai Namco has shared some new technical details about the new Soulsborne game. Developer FromSoftware recently shared 15 minutes of extended gameplay, which you can watch here, and also announced the game's pre-order bonuses and several collectors editions. In a now deleted FAQ article, Bandai Namco stated that Elden Ring will support a maximum resolution of native 4K, HDR, and frame rates of up to 60fps. Unfortunately, it appears that FromSoftware has implemented a frame rate cap, as it did previously with its previous game, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. However, as with previous Soulsborne games, it's likely that this will be circumvented through mods. While it won't be available at launch, ray tracing support should add another layer of gross incandescence to Elden Ring's world. Currently, there's no indication that AMD FSR or Nvidia DLSS will be available to help boost fps, but we'll update this page if and when that changes.

PCGamesN Saturday, February 12, 2022 6:28 AM  The anticipated Fortnite x Uncharted crossover has revealed its first trailer alongside its release date and confirmation of the skins players will be able to pick up. Despite arriving alongside the US release of the movie next week, the Fortnite Uncharted skins will include both Tom Holland and the game version of Nathan Drake, a.k.a. the skin players will actually use. The Uncharted event for Epic's popular battle royale will release on February 17, the day before the movie comes out in the US after a long and tumultuous development - although the film's out now in the UK. The Fortnite crossover was hinted at last week after leakers spotted special treasure map challenges going live next week that could only really be for an Uncharted event. The worry was amongst Uncharted fans that the collab would only include movie skins such as the Tom Holland version of Nathan Drake, despite Holland having only just appeared in Fortnite with the big Spider-Man crossover earlier this season.

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Saturday, February 12, 2022 4:00 AM  My sympathies to everyone taken by the Fool's Spring, who is now finding their hopes crushed by Second Winter. But consider it an opportunity: see some snow while you still can, and burrow back down into your blanket nest with a hot cup of cocoa before it's too late. And this is, of course, an ideal period to play video games. What are you playing this weekend? |

Bandai Namco briefly released the PC system requirements for Elden Ring on Steam, before taking them down shortly afterward. The minimum requirements listed 12 GB of RAM, in addition to some comparatively demanding CPU and GPU specs. The game's Steam page now lists the requirements as "TBD." [Thanks, PC Gamer!] Below are the listed Elden Ring minimum PC system requirements:
The system requirements for Elden Ring look to be significantly more demanding than previous From Software titles. In comparison, 2019's Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice only required 4GB RAM and Intel Core i3-2100 and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 to run. That being said, Bandai Namco decided to pull the Elden Ring PC requirements from the Steam page. This could indicate that they aren't set in stone just yet. Given the lack of recommended system requirements, there is also the possibility that Bandai Namco mistakenly posted the recommended specs as minimum specs instead. Elden Ring will release for the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC on February 25, 2022. In the meantime, you can check out our preview of the game.
