Kotaku Monday, July 25, 2022 9:35 PM  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. |

Kotaku Monday, July 25, 2022 7:10 PM  Over the weekend, a podcast's rumor suggested that the recently released free-to-play Ubisoft game, Roller Champions, would be canned in the near future.

Kotaku Monday, July 25, 2022 5:00 PM  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… |
Kotaku Monday, July 25, 2022 4:45 PM  Into the Breach received a kaiju-sized free update last week, formally called Into the Breach: Advanced Edition.

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.

PC Invasion - FeedDDD Monday, July 25, 2022 5:30 PM  Months 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... |
PC Invasion - FeedDDD Monday, July 25, 2022 5:00 PM  For 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... |
PC Invasion - FeedDDD Monday, July 25, 2022 4:30 PM  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... |

PC Invasion - FeedDDD Monday, July 25, 2022 3:30 PM  Over 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... |

Following its initial reveal several months ago, the latest map expansion for American Truck Simulator finally has a release date — August 4. In just a matter of weeks, virtual truckers will get to experience the beauty of SCS' take on the state of Montana. Affectionately known as The Treasure State, Montana is home to just a notch over 1 million people. As one of the northernmost states in all of the contiguous United States, it has quite a bit of land area, coming in at 147,040 square miles total. This makes it one of the country's largest states, despite being one of its most sparsely populated. Big Sky Country Montana makes up for its relative emptiness with rolling hills, stunning mountain ranges, and acres of lush farmland. Ranching, grain farming, mining, and lumber are some of the state's most integral industries. As expected, the folks over at SCS Software took these fast facts into consideration and have been working hard to ensure that Montana...

Dark Souls 3 and other games in the series haven't had online servers since the beginning of the year. FromSoftware noticed a serious risk to player security in the PvP servers and did not have a solution ready at the time. But the wait for a fix may soon be over, as an update for Dark Souls 3 has been found on Steam. Lance McDonald noticed this and said, "Bandai Namco have pushed a new Dark Souls 3 update to folks with access to some of the debug branches on Steam for the first time in many years. Probably testing new patches for upcoming server restoration." There is no official word from FromSoftware or Bandai Namco Entertainment about when a potential Dark Souls 3 fix will release to all players. This does seem promising, though. According to SteamDB, this is the first backend update for Dark Souls 3 on Steam in nearly two years, which seems significant. Additionally, the process of debugging refers to removing errors and glitches from a game, which lends further c... 
Halo Infinite has come under fire for a variety of issues in the months since its launch last year. But the latest issue may prove to be the worst, depending on your data caps. Developer 343 Industries is now trying to resolve an issue that is causing Halo Infinite players to download large amounts of data every time they play a match in multiplayer. Twitter user @NicmeistaR found that the game client would use varying amounts of data after a match was complete. They tweeted, "After further inspection I found that an average match only uses about 11MB. However. After each match the main menu retrieves about 300MB of data from the CDN on PC and Xbox. Which after about 2 matches results in over 1GB of network traffic. It's nuts." The HaloSupport Twitter account responded to the problem by saying, "The team is investigating reports of #HaloInfinite downloading extra data after multiplayer matches. An improvement for this issue will be included in August's Drop Pod upd...
