If you’re looking for a small gift to give the PC gamer in your life, here’s something to consider: Corsair’s M65 Pro RGB mouse is just $30 right now on Amazon and Newegg. That’s a $30 drop from the original MSRP, and $10 lower than the previous Amazon price. The M65 Pro has a 12000 DPI high-accuracy sensor, an “aircraft-grade” aluminum structure, adjustable weights, and Omron switches rated at 12 million clicks. You can set double macros and change the RGB lights using Corsair’s CUE software. N

Several retailers are flaunting Intel’s mighty Core i9-9900K processor at a discount today, though none are cheaper (that we’ve found) than Amazon—it’s going for $508.24 after clicking on the 5 percent coupon box in the listing. That price has even Micro Center beat, which typically undercuts the competition with in-store only pricing. It’s still not a cheap CPU, obviously, but it delivers plenty of processing bang for all those bucks. The Core i9-9900K is Intel’s first (and still only) 8-core/1

Fortnite’s new Creative mode hasn’t even been out for a week and players are already making wild stuff with it. Perhaps inspired by the release of the Avengers: Endgame trailer, Reddit user Sputeit got right to work on recreating one of the Marvel universe’s most iconic buildings: Stark Tower. Even so, what’s there shows how much can be done with Fortnite’s creative tools in such a short amount of time, in relation to both detail and scale. Revealed at The Game Awards last week, The Block is a n

TP-Link is keeping its foot on the gas pedal with a pair of new high-end routers, the Archer AX6000 and Archer AX11000. As router makers like to do, the model numbers represent a combined a total of the available speed across all available bands. Likewise, the Archer AX11000 is a tri-band model with an additional 5GHz band thrown into the mix. That additional band adds another 4,804Mbps to the tally, for a grand total of 10,756Mbps—close enough apparently to label is an AX11000 model. The Archer

Just one month after launching its $3,200 StarVR developer program, the company is no longer accepting applications, which raises questions about the headset’s future. “We regret to inform you that StarVR developer program has been put on hold until further notice. The StarVR One is a promising headset with an ultra-wide 210-degree horizontal field of view (130 degrees vertical). It also supports eye-tracking, which adds another element to VR experiences and is a potential game changer. The susp

Sigil, John Romero’s new Doom mod, will be free when it launches in February, but you can also buy yourself a limited edition box containing plenty of extras. Inside the Beast Box, you’ll find some art, a coin, some stickers and a pewter replica of John Romero’s head on a spike. This isn’t the first time Romero’s head has been impaled on a spike, either. The long-awaited and ultimately terrible Daikatana was promoted by a full-page ad that claimed “John Romero’s about to make you his bitch”. You

“The Witcher-inspired content is coming to Monster Hunter: World on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in early 2019 as a free title update, with the PC release to follow soon.” Original story: Geralt of Rivia will appear as part of Monster Hunter: World’s next big collaboration with The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. This comes as part of a free update to the game that will be arriving in early 2019—there’s no more specific date than that. Hopefully it’ll be a pretty elaborate addition to Capcom’s massive-selli

Fallout 76 has a nice photomode, which is a relief because it’s difficult to find a way to compliment the game these days. One of the features of the photomode is the ability to include a little postcard frame around the borders of the pictures you take. Reddit member PaulrusKeaton has been making lovely keepsake postcards from glitches, and other Fallout 76 players are joining in, painting a picture of a vacation gone completely buggy. (It helps to enlarge the postcards by clicking the upper ri

Now we’ve got a new video that digs deeper into what we can expect in our return to Hope County, 17 years after the bombs fell. There will be some returning characters from Far Cry 5, however, although they’ll understandably be changed by the passage of time (and a nuclear war). Far Cry: New Dawn will be centered around an outpost named Prosperity that you’ll be able to build out over the course of the game. But the game will also enable players to roam beyond Hope County in “expeditions” to oth

After revealing two very furry new legendary skins for the upcoming Overwatch Winter Wonderland event—Zarya the Bear and Lucio the Fox—Blizzard is taking things in a little bit of a different direction with skin reveal number three. It’s Mercy, and she’s the Sugar Plum Fairy. Play as pixie perfect SUGAR PLUM FAIRY MERCY (Legendary). 🧚‍ Winter Wonderland returns Dec 11. pic.twitter.com/TE2Y4e6cIeDecember 7, 2018Across-the-board furries would make for a fun series of skins, but the Sugar Plum Fair

Biomutant is a game about “a sort of violent raccoon that can alter its genetic material to gain super powers.” The new “gameplay sizzle” video released by publisher THQ Nordic has not changed my mind on that one bit. “You’ll create your own adventure as you explore the open world and what lies beneath its surface, by foot, mech, jet-ski, air-balloon and more,” it said. One thing the video does not have, however, is a release date. At the time of our preview BioMutant was expected to be out this

It’s been five years since Rust arrived, treating players to dangling dongs, rampaging bears, and a ruthless multiplayer survival experience. To celebrate this anniversary, a big, world-altering update is now live. Electricity has been added to the mix of tree-chopping, rock-breaking, gun-crafting, base-building, and (recently) hot-air ballooning. In five years, Rust has sold 7,457,075 copies, grossing $110,313,646, which includes bundles, DLC, and in-game sales. It’s also sold over 4 million sk

EA has announced that two demo sessions will take place prior to release, one set for January for “VIPs,” and another for the rest of us in February. The VIP demo will run January 25-27, 2019, and will be available to anyone who has preordered Anthem, or is an EA Access or Origin Access subscriber. (They’re basically the same thing, but EA Access is for the Xbox, and I guess being on a different platform meant it needed a different name.) The “open” demo will run February 1-3, 2019, and as the n

I hear there’s a new Super Smash Bros. out for the Nintendo Switch—and not the PC, for some strange reason—but that’s not the Smash Bros. I’m talking about today. I’m talking about Smash for the Wii U, which is quite playable on the PC thanks to the Cemu emulator. It gets even weirder if you think about the fact that Daisy in Smash Bros. is actually just a palette swap for Peach, so this is actually Peach-Daisy-Ridley, but let’s not go there. There are many, many other mods out there for the Sup

As it turns out, Intel has a separate team working on 7nm. According to Dr. Renduchintala, the root causes of the challenges Intel faced with 10nm “goes back to the early definitions of 10 nanometers in 2014.” “14[nm] and 10[nm] were really about double-patterning and quad-patterning in the absence of EUV,” Dr. Renduchintala said. Intel’s 7nm manufacturing technology uses extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUVL) with a much smaller, more precise laser wavelength of 13.5nm for some of the layers. I

Path of Exile: Betrayal, the ARPG’s latest expansion, is out today. To stop them, you’ll need to hunt down members from the organisation’s four divisions and ruin their plans. What you do after you defeat them is where the new system becomes really interesting. The good news is all those safehouses contain lots of lovely loot—the real reason you’re saving the world. Check out the update page for more details.

“Our intent is to align the Microsoft Edge web platform simultaneously (a) with web standards and (b) with other Chromium-based browsers. This will deliver improved compatibility for everyone and create a simpler test-matrix for web developers,” Microsoft said. He also acknowledged that Microsoft’s decision could make it more difficult for Firefox to prosper, depending on what web developers and businesses who create services and websites do. “If one product like Chromium has enough market share

Wizards of the Coast has announced that it will launch a Magic: The Gathering esports program in 2019 called the Magic Pro League, with a $10 million prize pool spread across both digital and tabletop formats. The Magic Pro League will feature 32 of the world’s top-ranked players, who will be offered “play and streaming contracts worth $75,000,” Wizards said. League competitors will square off in weekly contests in Magic: The Gathering Arena that will ultimate take them to new Mythic Championshi

Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey flings us back 10 million years to the origins of humanity. Announced a few years ago by Assassin’s Creed creator Patrice Désilets and his team as Panache Digital Games, we’re only now getting a look at it in action. In the first part, ten million years ago, there’s a single ape swinging through the trees before getting devoured by a snake. Finally, just shy of three million years ago, a band of hunters encounter and kill a huge saber-toothed cat. It’s an open-wo
