The eighth generation appears to be chucking that convention out of the window, and replacing it with a DLC....

A little bit of backstory here. I remember trying to get my hands on the 12 GB variant of the GeForce RTX 3080 for testing, which was a bit of a mess at the start of this year (2022). But given the present global chip shortage and high enthusiasm around cryptocurrencies (at the time), I kind of suggest my friends skip the 12 GB variant and wait for the new series....

Zwift is a peripheral-based bicycling game released in 2015 in which players control an on-screen cyclist using a real-life stationary bike. Pedaling harder makes your digital avatar bike faster on a predetermined path, meaning players are not required to physically turn around curves, but simply pedal to power their player character. As the game grows in popularity, so does its viability as an esport. Since Zwift doesn’t resemble any of today’s most popular competitive video games, considering Zwift races as esports may even necessitate reconsidering what defines esports as a medium....

Microsoft has suspended all new sales of its products and services in Russia. The decision, announced this afternoon in a blog post by company president Brad Smith, does not mention Xbox by name but seems sure to include Microsoft’s gaming brand. “Like the rest of the world, we are horrified, angered and saddened by the images and news coming from the war in Ukraine and condemn this unjustified, unprovoked and unlawful invasion by Russia,” Smith wrote....

Minecraft players are by their very nature incredibly creative. Every block in the game has been experimented with to an extreme to find out how it can be used and in what contexts. In a recent Minecraft snapshot update, the honey block was introduced. At first, players were skeptical about the usefulness of such a block. They’ve since changed their minds. Fittingly for honey, the block is sticky, and Minecraft players are already utilizing that stickiness to introduce wall running to the sandbox game....

Fans of the world of superheroes will soon have another MMO to add to their list of most-played games when DC Universe Online is released next year.

Fortnite is great at laying the groundwork for future events if players know where to look. Though, at the same time, there are always plenty of false hints that don’t lead anywhere that the community latches onto. While it’s impossible to say which category this falls under, a new star constellation has been spotted in space above the staging island with the first update to the game in 2023. While this normally wouldn’t mean much, the constellation has an unusual circular shape....
