Oculus Link software is now available in beta form, which means it’s now possible to play any game developed for PC VR, and the Rift headset, on the Oculus Quest. This is a welcome upgrade to what we already viewed as the best VR headset (when factoring in bang-for-buck). That’s assuming Oculus Link works as advertised. And while Rift S offers the highest fidelity gaming experience available, Oculus Quest is making it easier to get into VR than ever before. According to Oculus, the Oculus Link s

AMD is laying claim to the world’s first 7nm professional workstation graphics card, the Radeon Pro W5700. Both of those housed 7nm Vega 20 GPUs, but AMD’s boasting with its Radeon Pro W5700 comes from differentiating between server/datacenter accelerators (Radeon Instinct) and professional workstation cards (Radeon Pro). Even without that distinction, the Radeon Pro W5700 is the first instance of AMD’s current generation Navi GPU and underlying Radeon DNA (RDNA) architecture extending out of th

Looks like Black Friday has arrived early… well, particularly if you’re looking for some fast storage for your PC. As its deal of the day, Amazon currently has the 1TB Samsung EVO 970 NVMe SSD, one of our favorites, for just $149.99. That’s the lowest price we’ve seen the drive, and a very tempting price for a reliable M.2 drive. While we do expect other drives to get price cuts during the Black Friday SSD sales, it will be tough to beat this offer on the Samsung drives. And, at this price, we

Former Uncharted creative director Amy Hennig has joined a film production company, Skydance Media, to run a new interactive division, which Skydance boasts will “shape the future of interactive media,” apparently. On Twitter, Hennig said that the creative team will be exploring “new frontiers in interactive storytelling,” though no games have been announced yet. Hennig is joined by former EA producer Julian Beak, who serves as vice president, continuing a partnership that started with the unfor

It’s in these details, and in its open free-roam MMO areas, that Kingdom Under Fire 2 shows its real age. (Image credit: Gameforge, Blueside)Even if so, Kingdom Under Fire 2’s MMO and action RTS sections feel a bit like oil and water in a glass. KUF2’s instanced action RTS battles seem interesting and have a balance between close-combat and tactical that I honestly enjoyed. If Blueside and Gameforge are marketing a unique action-RTS experience with instanced co-op, why am I playing an MMO? Why d

Disney Plus drew 10 million subscribers in its first day, so evidently that’s enough for a lot of folks to commit to a new monthly fee.

How and where to get a Disney Plus sign-upFor those with access to Disney Plus right now, there are three basic deals available—the standard membership, a triple-bundle, and a special Verizon offer that gives you the service with a data plan. 1 year of Disney Pl

It appears that Rockstar Games could be moving in earnest toward the next Grand Theft Auto reveal: Earlier this month, hip hop group City Morgue shared an image on Instagram suggesting that it was involved in a partnership with the studio that would be revealed next summer. That description could be fairly applied to other Rockstar games, though, including Grand Theft Auto 5, which despite being six years old is still tremendously popular, and maintain a solid grip in the top ten most popular ga

(Image credit: PUBG Corp)PUBG’s loot box system is getting an overhaul, with locked crates set to be removed altogether. Random crate purchases with BP will no longer have the chance to contain locked crates starting from December 18. Locked crates already owned will still operate in the same way into the future. “However, the value of the locked crates are very low among other PUBG items. This means that paid crates are not an appealing reward to players, making the experience of acquiring a lo

In the Valley of Gods, Campo Santo’s follow-up to the excellent Firewatch, was unveiled at The Game Awards in late 2017. The Twitter bios of Ng and Hummel both indicated that they were working on In the Valley of Gods as recently as October 2019, while Rodkin’s bio made the same reference up to September. What is going on with In the Valley of Gods? The website for In the Valley of Gods is still up, and so is the Steam page. Taken altogether, it seems a bit odd at the very least, and not at all

The Jedi: Fallen Order Dathomir planet hides a seriously cool secret amid its craggy, Martian-like wastes. There are two ways to get the Jedi: Fallen Order dual-bladed lightsaber and one of them includes a visit to this perilous planet. The slower way is to get Force Push from Zeffo, acquire the Scomp Link, and return to Bogano. Instead we’re going to show you the quicker way to get the dual-bladed lightsaber in Fallen Order so you can at least try to be as cool as Darth Maul. How to get the Jed

My time in Yes, Your Grace is spent in one of two ways: sighing inwardly or secretly wanting to chop off people’s heads. Heavy is the head that wears the crown, and after an hour of play I’ve decided it would lighten my load if I could just execute everyone. I’d like to be more generous but I’m not exactly swimming in riches—despite my expansive castle, I feel like I’m always a week away from financial ruin. That good feeling doesn’t last long, though, as the wedding—as it often does in fantasy

Then you need the Stadia app to configure your Stadia account, sync a controller and start playing games. The Stadia controllerThe Stadia controller is solid but not heavy, with weighty-enough buttons and two thumbsticks that move smoothly but feel sturdy. Even stranger is that the Stadia website will recognize a PS4 controller as a Stadia controller, and pressing the PlayStation button has the same function as pressing the Stadia logo button. I also had trouble connecting my Stadia controller t

Spintires, the driving sim that reflects man’s primal battle with nature by making you drive through loads of mud, is now going to Chernobyl in a new expansion. It’s like Stalker, but you’re only interested in finding logging sites and keeping your precious truck running. The expansion includes two new vehicles, the B-157 and B-505, which will hopefully be hardy enough for the tough job. The expansion is for Oovee Games’ original Spintires from 2014, rather than Mudrunner (formerly Spintires: Mu

You don’t always have to spend a ton of cash to nab yourself a sick gaming keyboard. Right now the Razer Blackwidow Essential is available at Amazon for just $55 ($27 off). While the “essential” name might be indicative of a lack of features, all of the trappings of a top-tier mechanical keyboard are still present here. Gaming keyboard dealIf you’re looking for a relatively simple gaming keyboard, but still want robust mechanical switches and versatile customization software, look no further tha

Amazon has a great gaming headset deal on a Corsair HS60 V2 Pro gaming headset with 7.1 virtual surround sound. The HS60 Pro V2 is currently $39.99, over 40 percent off, and that makes it the lowest price we’ve seen on the site. The Corsair HS60 V2 actually made our best gaming headset list earlier this year (before getting knocked off by the Creative Sound BlasterX H6). The V2 Pro uses custom-tuned 50mm neodymium audio drivers and 7.1 virtual surround sound for some multi-channel goodness that

Over the weekend, Intel unveiled a new GPU architecture called Ponte Vecchio for high performance computing (HPC) and artificial intelligence (AI) workloads. One is that Ponte Vecchio is being built on a 7-nanometer manufacturing process. “Ponte Vecchio will be manufactured on Intel’s 7nm technology and will be Intel’s first Xe-based GPU optimized for HPC and AI workloads. In that sense, Ponte Vecchio will inevitably share some characteristics with whatever discrete gaming GPU Intel ultimately u

Asus has gone and quietly introduced a PCI Express expansion card (PCE-AX3000) that adds Wi-Fi 6 connectivity to your desktop PC. Under the right circumstances, it can boost the wireless speed of your system, though other gear is required. The vast majority of wireless devices have not yet adopted Wi-Fi 6. It’s based on an Intel AX200 M.2 Wi-Fi module that sells for around $20, so you’re basically paying extra for the PCIe card form factor and external antennas. It’s also one of the more expensi

If you’re in need of a gaming headset, you don’t have to wait for Black Friday. HyperX has its Cloud II gaming headset on sale for $70 right now at multiple retailers, a $30 discount from the usual price. This headset has been a favorite with gamers since its release in 2015, with over 2,000 reviews at Best Buy and nearly 3.5K on Amazon—and both stores give it 4/5 stars. It offers 53mm drivers for rich sound, USB and 3.5mm interfaces for compatibility with both PCs and consoles, a condenser micr
