Valve's Steam Deck has been a success so far, its (relatively) modest specs not really an issue when weighed against the size of the screen and the fact you can play it on the bus. But because it's essentially a small PC, the temptation is always there to improve it.

If you've felt uncomfortable about the rice paddy hats in Stray, you aren't the only one. Stray lifts Asian aesthetics to evoke exoticism and danger, but it doesn't engage with the history of the city it appropriates. This is especially problematic because its real-world setting carries painful historical baggage that…

The Xbox Series X/S already boot up incredibly fast, but it turns out they could go even faster. Microsoft is now testing a shorter startup animation to let players take advantage of that speed and get precious seconds of their life back.

When Fortnite's newest season launched recently, I did what I've now done many times before: installed the game again, watched the new cutscene, dropped in for a few matches, and stopped.

     New Phasmophobia update adds fine-tuned scare options

The next Phasmophobia update introduces custom difficulty options and a brand-new map, Kinetic Games announced in a Steam news blast. There's no firm release date for the custom difficulty options, but when it does launch, it will include a sizeable range of settings to tweak, everything from adjusting how fast the ghost can move to slowing yourself down and increasing sanity drain in the ghost game. You can even adjust how many Cursed Possessions show up during a hunt or, if the temptation to use them and condemn your team to death is just too strong, you can remove them completely.

     Microsoft Flight Simulator Bluebird Simulations Boeing 757 Wip July 2022 3Months after revealing that it's working on the illustrious Boeing 757 for Microsoft Flight Simulator, Bluebird Simulations has finally provided an update on its progress. The team has been hard at work getting the bird together, and is happy to say that it's "coming along nicely." The Boeing 757 is occupies an interesting space in its class as a narrow-body jet, due to its powerful performance in addition to its lengthy aisle providing ample seating. It's more roomy than a Boeing 737, while still being smaller than a 767 or 777.   It's been out of real-world production for quite a few years. However, the craft is still being used extensively by many major carriers. Its powerful Rolls Royce engine have proven to be both reliable and a joy for pilots to operate. Now in virtual form, Bluebird Simulations is working to ensure that all of its intricate details are carried over into Microsoft Flight Simulator. The pencil rocket returns In a recent de...

     Roller Champions support trio teamFor a few days now, rumors suggesting that Ubisoft would cease all support for its free-to-play live service game Roller Champions circulated on the Internet. This rumor came courtesy of journalist and leaker Jeff Grubb. In a recent episode of the XboxEra podcast, Grubb claimed that Roller Champions would stop receiving content after its third season. Considering the game only came out two months ago on May 25, this would have come as a surprising bit of news if proven accurate. However, a recent update on the official Roller Champions Twitter account appeared to dispel this rumor, stating that "Ubisoft fully supports" the game. According to the statement, the developers have focused on addressing the common criticisms that players have brought up above all else. To accomplish this, the developers have decided to extend the length of the most recent "Disco Fever" season. This will allow for the release of a patch adding cross-invites to the game, bringing it c...

     Microsoft Flight Simulator Pc Pmdg 737 600 Wip 1 (copy)PMDG has released a new development update surrounding the progress of the next iteration of its Boeing 737. The smaller 737-600 variant of the world's most-sold narrow body jet is set to release for  Microsoft Flight Simulator in a matter of days, as of the time of publication. While the 737-600 isn't the smallest variant of the entire 737 lineage, it is the smallest of the type that is still actively used. Its predecessor, the -500, is used in very limited quantities these days. So it's not surprising that PMDG has chosen to go only as far down as the 737-600 for its initial release of complex add-ons for Microsoft Flight Simulator.   As mentioned in an official update on PMDG's Forums, the team is currently testing a new Lateral Flight Path Model, along with "a significantly updated vertical path model that is finally able to leverage the improved accuracy of the lateral model into it's own computational process." The simplest way of p...

     Street Fighter 6 Classic Costumes RyuOver the weekend, Capcom showed up at San Diego Comic-Con and made some small announcements. Unfortunately, we didn't get any new character or new footage reveals for Street Fighter 6. However, longtime fans of the series did get a little treat. Capcom has confirmed that Street Fighter 6 will feature classic costumes for some of its roster. Capcom showed off the classic costumes with a tweet over the weekend. Ryu, Chun-Li, and Guile will each be able to sport their classic designs from Street Fighter's early days. To be clear, Street Fighter is well known for giving its characters plenty of alternate costumes. We've seen other games feature classic costumes, like in Street Fighter 5 for example. Still, it's always nice to see some love for these classic looks.   There are still a few unanswered questions regarding the costumes, though. It isn't quite clear whether they'll be a free part of the game or come as paid DLC. Capcom is notorious for ma...
