PCGamesN Monday, January 29, 2024 5:59 AM  It's just over four months since the Payday 3 Steam launch, but the Starbreeze FPS sequel is seriously struggling to maintain a player base. A variety of technical problems, many of them in relation to Payday 3's always-online requirement, meant the shooter was received coolly at launch - to this day, it still holds a middling 'mixed' rating on Valve's storefront. Now, the Payday 3 Steam player count has dipped below 250. While it's also available on Game Pass, the diminishing turnout for the Payday 2 sequel is a concerning sign, as Starbreeze announces drastic new measures to try and bring Payday 3 up to scratch.

PCGamesN Monday, January 29, 2024 5:45 AM  LG has had quite the enviable run when it comes to gaming monitors in recent years. Its NanoIPS technology has widely been shown to be the fastest IPS LCD technology around, while the company has also become one of the main suppliers for the ever-growing OLED gaming monitor market. The LG Ultragear 27GR95QE, then, is the latest of the company's own displays based on its OLED panel tech, and it packs some impressive specs. Along with a 240Hz refresh rate, this 27-inch LG panel has a QHD resolution (2,560 x 1,440 pixels), 0.03ms response time, and essentially infinite contrast thanks to the OLED tech's ability to produce true blacks. It's a combination that should immediately make the 27GR95QE a contender for a place on our best gaming monitor guide. However, it's let down in some crucial areas.
