Dead Island 2 launches a week early on April 21 and ahead of that, developer Dambuster Studios has dropped system requirements for the same. As is the case with most PC games these days, you'll require some fairly heavy hardware to run the zombie-slasher sequel at decent settings. While the minimum memory (RAM) and storage requirements are fairly normal — 10GB and 70GB, respectively — it demands some higher-end CPU and graphics cards to play Dead Island 2 in Recommended, High, and Ultra settings.

There's no denying that The Last of Us has been on every PC gamer's radar since marking its first steps on the PS3 in 2013. A title so monumental, it was released two more times across subsequent PlayStation generations, adapting and surviving the test of time. The new PC version of The Last of Us Part I is a basic port of the PS5 remake — rebuilt from the ground up with shiny new visuals and modernised mechanics, so it stands toe-to-toe with the benchmark set by 2020's The Last of Us Part II. As one of Naughty Dog's most…

The Epic Games Store is celebrating Easter weekend with some free games. From now until Thursday, April 13, players can get Dying Light: Enhanced Edition for free on PC. Dying Light is a 2015 first-person survival game that has players killing zombies and parkouring around a city. The Enhanced Edition features extra content, including its 2016 expansion Dying Light: The Following. It’s a well-timed freebie considering that it was developed by Dead Island developer Techland, and a sequel to that game launches in just…

Epic Games hosted its State of Unreal keynote at GDC 2023 (Game Developers Conference), held Wednesday, revealing its long-term plans for content creation, in addition to new tools being used in upcoming games. The nearly eight-hour-long presentation was streamed live on the company's YouTube channel, touching upon updates in Unreal Engine 5.2, a new performance capture system, an Unreal Editor for Fortnite, and more. We also got a fresh look at the Lords of the Fallen reboot, Hexworks' upcoming dark fantasy souls-like…

Returnal was one of the few PlayStation exclusives that could only be played on the PS5; however, it is now available to players who’ve been wanting to experience Returnal on PC. While the rogue-lite game has made its mark on Sony’s latest console, it might be a different story on more powerful systems — for better or worse. So even though Returnal is considered a titular title for the PlayStation 5, the new PC release might make it a must-have game for the PC as well. Here’s what we think about Returnal’s performance on…

Returnal might have struggled to wow gamers after its initial reveal as a PS5 exclusive, but it amassed a niche following when some gameplay emerged online. Finnish developer Housemarque faced a few challenges: for one, it was a less-known studio trying to sell an original IP for a full $70 — competing against a pool of well-established AAA creators that anyone could blindly trust. Furthermore, in its original marketing campaign, Sony portrayed the game as a generic action shooter, where all you do is run around and kill…

Epic Games is challenging Google in an Indian tribunal for not complying with some portions of an antitrust directive, alleging that the tech giant is not hosting the gaming company's app store on Google's Play Store app.Epic's claims are the latest legal issues to plague the Alphabet Inc unit in India. Last month, after losing a legal fight with the Competition Commission of India (CCI), Google said it will make changes to its Android business model including stopping its practice of forcing device makers to pre-install…

The Last of Us Part I's PC port has been delayed by three weeks. In a tweet, developer Naughty Dog confirmed that the much-awaited emotional, zombie-killing survivor game, which was originally set to drop on March 3, will now release on March 28. The studio claims that the additional time will be used to ensure a polished experience at launch that is devoid of bugs or optimisation issues. The delay was partly prompted by the success surrounding HBO's adaptation of The Last of Us, with Naughty Dog not wanting to tarnish…

Dead Space remake — out now on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series S/X — seemed an ambitious project from the get-go. I hoped it would be the right dose of sci-fi horror I needed injected into my veins, after the sour letdown that was The Callisto Protocol. Although reimagining a classic might make any fan feel cautious, EA Motive's approach to development had me optimistic. To ensure this game's core stayed true to the original, the studio formed a community council early on, including die-hard fans of Dead Space, who were…

Returnal is headed to PC next month, and with that, Sony has unveiled new features and system requirements for the upcoming port. Developer Housemarque and porter Climax Studios have partnered to bring the once PS5-exclusive roguelike to PC on February 15. Returnal on PC comes with support for Nvidia's DLSS and AMD's FSR upscaling techniques, in addition to DualSense compatibility, ensuring haptic feedback when ripping through the haunting alien planets in the game. Returnal is now available to pre-order on Steam and the…
