Assassin’s Creed Mirage will support DLSS and FSR after all-

A couple of days back, the system requirements for Assassin’s Creed Mirage were revealed. The recommended requirements are quite reasonable, with pretty much any six-core CPU and GTX 1660 Ti / RX 5600 XT tier graphics card able to run the game at 60 FPS and 1080p with high settings.

One thing that caught our eye was the mention of XeSS upscaling support, but not Nvidia’s DLSS or AMD’s FSR. Ubisoft has put that to bed though, with an updated blog post that confirms Assassin’s Creed Mirage will support  DLSS, FSR, and XeSS.

So everybody wins, the way it should be. The last thing we need is repeated instances of one or more vendors being left out in the cold. Starfield is a prominent recent example, which launched with only FSR support.

Even though Assassin’s Creed M…

Biden proposes heavy tax on cryptocurrency miners for ‘the harms they impose on society’-

The Biden administration has proposed a new tax intended to make cryptocurrency miners pay society back for the damage they cause. That’s actually how the White House puts it, with the so-called DAME tax intended to encourage actually talking specifically about “the harms” such crypto companies can inflict on society as a whole.

“Currently, cryptomining firms do not have to pay for the full cost they impose on others, in the form of local environmental pollution, higher energy prices, and the impacts of increased greenhouse gas emissions on the climate,” the White House says of the proposal. 

“The DAME tax encourages firms to start taking better account of the harms they impose on society.”

DAME stands for Digital Asset Mining Energy, and the DAME tax would force …

Cities- Skylines 2 patch fixes ‘unnecessarily large’ character textures, removes ‘offensive’ radio ad-

A patch for Cities: Skylines 2 has been released today, addressing several issues with the game—though it doesn’t sound like it’s the overhaul needed to soothe the city builder’s biggest performance problems. Hopefully, that patch won’t be too much longer.

One issue that should improve as a result of this patch is the Cities: Skylines 2 not enough customers problem, which has been frustrating and a little confusing—the game often shows demand for new commercial zones, but at the same time existing businesses inform you they don’t have enough customers. As a potential fix, the patch increases “leisure probability” which I assume means citizens will have more free time to visit shops, and thus businesses won’t complain as much.

There are more tweaks to businesses, …

Deep Rock Galactic studio remakes cosmetic DLC after fans complain- ‘You’re putting down good money for these items, and you want them to stand out—we hear you!’-

We said back in April that Deep Rock Galactic has “one of the last positive communities left in gaming,” but even among that crew, there are limits. Those boundaries were reached earlier this month when developer Ghost Ship Games unveiled the new Decontaminator Pack cosmetic DLC. To put it bluntly, players did not care for it.

  • “I’m not gonna sugarcoat it, these frameworks are kinda ass” – Mayor of Pyroland
  • “I usually buy all cosmetics dono about this one lol its really bad looking compared to all the others” – 1 Corinthians 15:1-4
  • “Looks extremely low effort compared to the previous ones” – Badger
  • “Not a fan of this one. Lots of medicore paintjobs and no armor or pickaxe parts. The paintjobs do…

Geralt and Dave the Diver are in Balatro now-

Watch On

Geralt of Rivia is a well-known card game aficionado, and not just for Gwent. It turns out the famed witcher is also a big fan of Balatro—so big that he’s now actually in the game.

Geralt and a couple of familiar friends have joined Balatro in the game’s first ever “Collaboration Pack,” a crossover that adds optional face card backs from not just The Witcher 3, but also Dave the Diver, Vampire Survivors, and Among Us. The card cosmetics can be unlocked through a new “deck settings” menu that enables players to customize their decks with new cards.

“It was surreal having these conversations,” Balatro developer Localthunk said. “Some of the biggest names in gaming praising my little project and wanting to collaborate—absolutely wild. I’m glad we made…

Many of Epic’s exclusivity deals were ‘not good investments,’ says Tim Sweeney, but the free games program ‘has been just magical’

Epic has been giving away games on the Epic Games Store since it launched at the end of 2018, enticing Steam users to install its launcher with freebies as big as Grand Theft Auto 5 and Civilization 6. More than 580 million free games were claimed just last year.

Giving away half-a-billion game copies a year, even when paying a small fraction of each copy’s list price, is not cheap. Thanks to documents that came out during Epic’s legal fight with Apple, we learned that the company spent $11.6 million on free games in just the first nine months of the program. Epic has been giving away games for six years now.

However, responding to a question about Epic’s free game strategy on a call with press earlier this week, Epic CEO Tim Sweeney said that it’s been a “very economical”…
