If you missed yesterday’s $250 6GB GTX 1060 deal, then here’s another mid-range GPU option for you. Newegg now has the Sapphire NITRO+ RX 580 8GB (a mouthful, I know) for $279.99. The RX 580 is slightly faster than the GTX 1060, with 8GB of VRAM over the 1060’s 6GB. Considering the cheapest 1060 cards on Newegg right now are nearly $300, this is a pretty good deal. You can buy the Sapphire NITRO+ RX 580 8GB from Newegg here.

For the iron-willed survivalists among you who think that Frostpunk’s “hard” mode is too damn easy, today’s 1.10 update introduces the new Survivor Mode promised last month. The mode, which I assume is named ironically, ratchets up the challenge by eliminating the ability to pause the game unless you open a menu, and only saving progress when you exit. The core difficulty is also cranked up in Survivor Mode: Developer 11 Bit Studios didn’t get into the details but said that “meeting the people’s

World of Warcraft Developer: BlizzardYear: 2004 – present The MMO that changed everything is still going strong nearly 15 years later. Attributing any ‘first’ to World of Warcraft is an invitation for everyone to start going ‘Well, ACTUALLY…’ in reference to something like Meridian 59 or Everquest. But there’s really nothing quite like your first flight over the world of Azeroth. But World of Warcraft took it so much further. But that first flight across the world was a spellbinding experience

GTA Online’s latest weekly update adds seven new Issi-sporting, Italian Job-style races. After its recent double RP and GTA$ showing, GTA Online’s Prison Break heist offers similar spoils this week. Lamar’s, on the other hand, are a bit more sophisticated, a bit more fun, and are this week’s boon. Funeral Party launched with GTA Online— it’s a good laugh, and is one job I’m particularly looking forward to trying again. If you fall short, here’s how to make money in GTA Online.

Back in May 2018, Psyonix revealed that Rocket League would be getting a Rocket Pass. The Rocket Pass will be split into free and premium modes, with the latter offering many more cosmetics at each tier. During a meeting at E3 last week, game director Scott Rudi revealed that this premium pass would cost $10. Combined with the Rocket Pass, it means that players will see a much steadier stream of cosmetic rewards. You can read more about Rocket Pass here and other features coming this summer here

If you’re looking for a relatively affordable gaming laptop with discrete graphics, head over to Best Buy and check out Acer’s Nitro 15 with a GeForce GTX 1050 GPU inside. That’s one of the lowest prices around for a laptop sporting a GeForce GTX 1050, which is tasked with powering the 15.9-inch display’s 1920×1080 resolution. Connectivity consits of a USB 3.1 Type-C port, a USB 3.0 Type-A port, two USB 2.0 ports, a GbE LAN port, and an HDMI output. Specs include a Core i5-7300HQ processor, GeFo

While there’s still plenty to be revealed before the Resident Evil 2 remake’s release early next year, here’s everything we know so far. The Resident Evil 2 remake is out January 25, 2019. The Resident Evil 2 remake has been built from the ground-up with full 3D assets. The Licker is a series staple and they look pretty horrible in the Resident Evil 2 remake. Are there any Resident Evil 2 remake screenshots?

In the same way I consider The Godfather Part 3 ‘the modern one’, Escape from Monkey Island will forever be the fresh face of LucasArts’ esteemed point-and-click adventure series. It costs £7.09/$9.99, and its arrival marks a Monkey Island series sale wherein all four games—The Secret of Monkey Island and Monkey Island 2’s Special Editions, The Curse of Monkey Island and, of course, Escape From Monkey Island—cost £15.56/$22.01 for a limited time. “The first 3D iteration of the beloved point-and-

The latest weirdly specific simulator to arrive on PC is Bus Simulator 18, which lets you drive a city bus around a fictional city, picking up passengers, printing out tickets, and making stops on time. Bus Simulator 18, on the other hand, is full of interaction. But in Bus Simulator 18 the sensation of being in command of a big, hefty vehicle isn’t quite there. Another key difference between Bus Simulator 18 and other sims is how it never gives you a minute to relax. Bus Simulator 18 could do w

In the wake of its E3 showing, we gathered everything we know about Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. As reported by VG24/7, we now know Ubisoft sought to employ Greek voice actors or those of Greek descent when crafting Odyssey’s characters. “What we tried to do was look for actors who are Greek or have Greek ancestry,” audio director Lydia Andrew tells VG24/7. “You can have a great actor who’s great at accents, and that’s fantastic, but you can also find great Greek actors and work with them too.” VG2

Those of you familiar with Dark Souls lore will know history is doomed to repeat itself in Lordran. There are a number of ways to make From Software’s notoriously difficult Dark Souls more challenging—however Notaprofi’s New Game Plus Infinite mod might be its most torturous yet. in 10 cycles you get 80% increase, not 60%, in 50 cycles you will get enemies harder by factor of 18. You can gear up a character with unmoded game and then go to NG+7 with it after installation of the mod. Notaprofi no

Dead Cells’ vast array of weapons and catalogue of cool animations earned the genre hybrid a place on our list of the best metroidvania games on PC. Motion Twin has now revealed it’s getting mod support. In a Steam Community update that first explores Mac and Linux support and a returning pixel art font, the developer explains Dead Cells has “limited, basic mod support working” internally. So, if you’re interested in modding Dead Cells, please stick around, we will need your feedback to get this

The giant fighting robot game MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries was supposed to arrive in December, but developer Piranha Games announced today that in order to ensure it’s “the best single-player Mechwarrior experience to date,” it will be held back until sometime in 2019. “As everyone knows, this is the first single-player experience Mechwarrior title released since 2002 and we are well aware of the responsibility and great opportunity we have in re-introducing Mechwarrior to the world,” Piranha boss

As a child Trine Laier was awed whenever her father said he was leaving to work at a “secret fortress deep underground.” “We all have this feeling with our parents that they lived this secret life,” Laier says. The textures of many objects and areas in the world come from declassified government documents Laier discovered during her research. Laier illustrates this by periodically having her father’s paper character lose a limb, spurring a search throughout the level to retrieve it. Laier’s pare

Bad news: it’s now possible to see how much money you’ve ever spent on Steam. Spotted by Venture Beat, the official Steam tool adds up every cent you’ve ever spent on the storefront and displays the total in USD. Similar tools exist, such as Steam Calculator, though that tool only estimates the worth of your account: this one tells you, to the cent, how much you’ve spent. The Steam tool also has one other important caveat: it won’t include codes you’ve redeemed. Folk on the PC Gamer staff have s

It was an intimate and relaxed setting for a demo, which feels appropriate because Sable is an intimate, relaxed kind of game. In this current build Sable’s desert is infinite, but hand-crafted landmarks dot the horizon, providing focal points for exploration. My time exploring the desert evoked games like Breath of the Wild and Journey, but Sable has much smaller ambitions. I like that Sable isn’t trying to be the next great open world exploration game, but rather an exercise in inherently rewa

At the time, “Gaming Disorder” was merely a vague proposed classification, but today the WHO released an updated version of ICD-11 which includes a concrete definition. Listed under “disorders due to addictive behaviors,” “Gaming Disorder” is defined as “a pattern of gaming behavior (‘digital-gaming’ or ‘video-gaming’) characterized by impaired control over gaming, increasing priority given to gaming over other activities to the extent that gaming takes precedence over other interests and daily

“On the PC, the vast bulk of our audience really only played during the first few months after we launched in Early Access in March of 2016. The Early Access release created other challenges for the studio as well. “It’s a big responsibility and in retrospect I think we initially failed to appreciate how big changes could be disruptive for a live game, Early Access or not.” Because of that experience, Xaviant will not be releasing The Culling 2 as an Early Access game. The Culling 2 doesn’t have
