STALKER 2

STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl launches today on Sony's PlayStation 5 console, exactly one year after its initial release on PC and Xbox Series S|X, following the end of the timed console exclusivity deal with Microsoft. We published an interview with GSC Game World focused on the PS5 launch, but we also asked about the content and features that are still to come.

20 November 2025 at 16:46

Kirby and other characters are racing on futuristic hovercrafts in 'Kirby AirRiders'.

Powered by NVIDIA technology, Nintendo Switch 2 games can leverage RTX tech like NVIDIA DLSS and ray tracing to deliver better visuals and enhanced image quality at solid performance. Since launch, Nintendo's own titles had yet to take advantage of either, but it seems like the ray tracing floodgates have been opened by the publisher's latest first-party title, Kirby Air Riders. As confirmed by a screenshot of the game's license readme found in the Nintendo Switch 2's menu shared on ResetERA, Kirby Air Riders reportedly uses the RTXGI SDK, meaning that the racing game uses ray-traced global illumination in some […]

20 November 2025 at 15:51

A Steam Machine console with multiple front ports is featured against a beige background, displaying the text 'Your games on the big screen' underneath.

The price will be the critical factor that will determine the success of the Steam Machine, but those who expected the upcoming system to be priced in the same range as a console will likely be disappointed, judging from some new information shared online. In the latest episode of Linus Tech Tips' WAN Show podcast, Linus commented on the yet-to-be-revealed price for the system. While he doesn't know the price (as no one does yet), there are strong indications the system won't fall in the $500 price range of the current PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X systems, judging from […]

New GeForce Hotfix Driver Resolves Lower Performance Bug Caused by Windows Update

20 November 2025 at 15:15

NVIDIA GeForce HOTFIX DRIVER UPDATE' on a green banner.

NVIDIA has released a new GeForce Hotfix display driver, version 581.94. This is based on the latest GeForce Game Ready driver, version 581.80, which launched around two weeks ago with day-one optimizations for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, Europa Universalis V, and Anno 117: Pax Romana. Following that Game Ready driver, users reported lower performance in some PC games after updating to Windows 11 October 2025 KB5066835 [5561605]. This GeForce hotfix driver resolves the issue, so if you've experienced that, you should download it right away. Otherwise, the fix will be rolled into the next Game Ready driver, anyway.
