Stellar Blade only released on PC two months ago, but developer Shift Up Corporation has already provided numerous updates to keep the game running smoothly. Early this morning, Shift Up released Stellar Blade update 1.3.0, which fixes various minor issues with the hit action game. However, it's not gone smoothly, as many players are complaining that they can no longer launch the game. While we expect a hotfix or subsequent update shortly in order to fix this, players are being recommended to uninstall mods in order to access the game.

Looking for a Genshin Impact tier list? There are currently over 100 Genshin Impact characters available, providing you with a wide variety of candidates to construct your dream team. But with so many weapons, elementals, talents, ascension bonuses, and constellation upgrades, finding your favorites can be challenging.

Don't let the placement of the characters on our Genshin Impact tier list deter you from pulling on the next character banner. Being on a lower tier in the free PC game means that there are better alternatives, or the character needs a very specific build or team to shine. We've spent hundreds of hours trying different variations of teams in Spiral Abyss to establish who the best characters are in Genshin Impact.

What is the fastest car in GTA 5? If you want to tear up the asphalt, we've ranked all the quickest cars and bikes by their confirmed max in-game kph. Of course, there's more to a car than its fastest possible speed, but sometimes you just want to upgrade your vehicle to the max and see how far you can push that speedometer.

It's worth noting that the fastest GTA 5 vehicles usually come with a hefty price tag, so we'll also let you know how to find the best option for breaking the sound barrier without breaking the bank. Keeping an eye on the latest GTA podium car is another savvy way to save some cash, and if you're also in the market for the fastest GTA 5 single-player car, we've got you covered. If you're still exploring the campaign, you'd also be wise to use our GTA 5 cheats list.

Peak has only gone from strength to strength in recent months. With 'very positive' reviews, a 93% positive rating on Steam, and a whole slew of increasingly bizarre updates, the love for the climbing game has only continued to grow. While the flying disc was a favorite addition of mine - who doesn't love throwing frisbees at people - the more recent cannibalism update appears to have been a huge hit with most players. Although, it doesn't seem like everyone is happy about appearing as a roast chicken, if the latest patch is anything to go by.

My first entry into Elder Scrolls was Skyrim, and to this day it's still one of my all-time favorite games. I've spent the last however many years trying to recapture the feeling I got when I first booted it up, and it's one of the reasons why I was so excited about Oblivion Remastered. And while I've enjoyed exploring this new side to a world I've loved for years, seeing random mages get into fire fights with goats, and listening to Patrick Stewart's dulcet tones, I've got to admit that I'm even more excited about diving into Cyrodiil with Skyblivion. Which is great news, as the game is nearing its 2025 launch date.

After pouring hours into gaining materials and fighting off hordes of enemies, I finally felt comfortable enough to tackle anything Arrakis threw my way in Dune Awakening. What I didn't account for was my lack of a Sandbike, and as I walked across the endlessness of the desert, a rumbling underneath sent the Sandworms straight to me, eating me and all my hard work in one big gulp.

Financial service giants Mastercard have denied accusations that they sought to influence the recent removal of adult/NSFW games from Steam and Itch.io, claiming that they have "not evaluated any game or required restrictions of any activity on game creator sites and platforms," and that they allow all lawful transactions. It's a brief and unequivocal statement, but Valve themselves have since suggested it might not be entirely accurate, telling PC Gamer that Steam's payment processors objected to the availability of law-abiding adult games by citing one of Mastercard's specific rules.
