Assassin's Creed Unity has received a 60 FPS patch today for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S, which may have packed an undocumented bump to 4K resolution.

According to multiple online reports, today's Assassin's Creed Unity patch increases resolution up to 4K. While no one has made an actual pixel count, the game's PlayStation 5 update history mentions 4K resolution and 60 FPS gameplay.

Although the Steam Machine has yet to be released, the new Valve hardware has sparked quite a bit of discussion among gaming enthusiasts. While some believe it will end up being a niche system, others believe Valve's gaming system could send the console market into an upheaval, especially if it is priced right. With the current RAM prices, however, it remains to be seen how Valve will handle this critical element (and its release date), and with things unlikely to improve anytime soon, it's looking less likely that the system could be released within the price range of a traditional […]

After having been in development for a very long time, Crimson Desert is almost upon us. Up until now, however, developer Pearl Abyss has only shown the game on PC, raising concerns over the console versions of the game and making more than a few suspect the developer was actually hiding console footage in a tragic repeat of the Cyberpunk 2077 situation back in 2022, forcing PR representatives to address the matter outright. Following the confirmation that Pearl Abyss is not hiding Crimson Desert console footage, details on the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Pro versions have been shared online, […]

Although it was widely known that Remedy Entertainment has been working on the second entry in the Control series for a while, the reveal of Control Resonant was still quite a surprise for fans of the Finnish studio. Right from its very first showing during last year's The Game Awards show, it was clear how the second entry in the series would be a very different game from its predecessor, closer to a character action game than to the third-person shooter formula seen in Jesse Faden's venture into the Oldest House. The first few looks at Control Resonant's gameplay gave […]

Years after its release, Fallout: New Vegas continues to be one of the most popular entries in the series, and demand for a remaster continues to be high. Late last month, it seemed like fans' wishes would come true in the near future, as development studio Iron Galaxy seemed to tease that it was working on this highly requested project. However, the developer has now confirmed that there was nothing to see in the image they shared a few days back.

Although CAPCOM’s RE Engine proved to be a great engine for linear games such as Resident Evil Requiem, Monster Hunter Wilds highlighted how the engine wasn't as good at handling open-world games. Its significant performance issues have now been fixed for the most part, and they may even be a thing of the past for future games from the Japanese publisher, judging from a recent statement. During a Q&A session held during the publisher's Q3 FY2025 Financial Results Conference Call, CAPCOM discussed its future PC strategy. "As of the third quarter, PC sales account for approximately 50% of total unit […]

Ever since video games have been a thing, players have always sought the help of others to overcome difficult segments. While how they seek help has changed a lot over the years, moving from guides published in magazines to online walkthroughs and videos, the need for guidance for particularly challenging segments is as strong as it has ever been. In the future, however, there could be a massive change in how players receive their much-needed help, judging from a patent filed by Microsoft detailing a cloud-based Xbox system to let human or AI helpers take over temporarily. As spotted by […]

Last month, ahead of the launch of Resident Evil Requiem, the Resident Evil 4 remake received a surprise update on PC. While the small update did not add any content to the game, it removed the Denuvo DRM protection the game had since launch and replaced it with Enigma DRM, which had a significant impact on performance. While the community and games media such as Digital Foundry did not hide their disappointment at the practice of updating years-old games just to add DRM that ultimately ruins the experience for those who purchased the game, the lack of communication from CAPCOM […]
