Great video game DLCs beat out live-service gambles in 2023

For years now, studios have been chasing the impossible dream. Rather than giving games one or two great expansions, we’ve seen a rise in live-service games looking to replicate the titanic success of games like Fortnite. Though that continued in 2023 (especially in Fortnite itself), this year has seen a return to a more traditional approach to DLC and expansions — and that’s led to some unforgettable results that prove the power of a focused update. The year started strong with Dead Cells: Return to Castlevania…

September promises to be a blockbuster month for gaming, with a stellar lineup of heavy hitters set to release this month.

Cyberpunk 2077 Developer Suggests PC Players Test Cooling Systems Before Phantom Liberty Launch

As Cyberpunk 2077's Phantom Liberty expansion inches closer, developer CD Projekt Red has warned PC players to test their cooling systems beforehand. In a tweet, lead scene programmer Filip Pierściński claimed that both the game's paid expansion and the version 2.0 update will be heavy on CPU usage, essentially squeezing every bit of performance out of the chip. As such, a 90 percent workload on an 8-core processor is easily expected, which could lead to thermal throttling. It's unclear as to what aspect of the update is…

Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty is winning back my good faith

When Cyberpunk 2077 launched in December 2020, I so desperately wanted to love it. I was enamored with its intricate open-world design, which featured and impressive level of verticality, but it was hard to ever get fully immersed due to its slew of launch problems.

With its upcoming expansion, Phantom Liberty, CD Projekt Red has a second…
