Multi-monitor support in PC games isn't relatively new, thanks in part to modern GPUs featuring multiple outputs. The same goes for playing in Ultrawide. Back when the original Doom was released, in 1993, the idea of an MS-DOS PC running multiple monitors was unheard of. This makes the game's multi-monitor support pretty incredible because it actually needs multiple PCs running Doom to pull it off.
A launch trailer for Hogwarts Legacy has dropped ahead of the game's official release next week (Friday for Aussies).

The Day Before has been making a lot of headlines recently, and not for reasons that the game looks good and fully earns its "most wish-listed game on Steam" credit.

While the sci-fi and horror genres, and their respective offspring, sci-fi horror, enjoy a huge renaissance, the Western is still an outlier in the videogame world, despite a few examples beginning to creep into the periphery. So when something that blends one of the above with the Western genre, we tend to take notice, as is the case with Dust & Neon a cyberwestern twin-stick roguelite filled with attitude.
We don't cover a lot of mobile content here, largely because it's an ecosystem unto itself and we'd almost need double the staff. But every now and then something pops up where both the traditional gaming landscape and mobile gaming cross paths, and in today's case that's news that a reimagined for mobile version of the classic PC game Myst is headed to iOS.
We told you about an ambituous new entrant in the starved boxing game sports genre a few weeks ago that goes by the name of Undisputed. And we're happy to let you know said game is now in the ring via Steam's Early Access program, available as we type.
Mundfish's alt-history retro-future sci-fi shooter Atomic Heart is nearly upon us, and it's been a long time coming. We've had our eyes on this proejct since it was first announced and continue to be blown away at almost every facet of it. Including today's eight minute flurry of chaos and gunplay the studio and publisher, Focus Entertainment, have shared.

The importance of videogame preservation is not talked about enough, especially now when most game sales a digital. What happens when servers go down or games are no longer supported or being sold? Well, the answer can be seen with the announcement from Microsoft that it's delisting a bunch of Xbox 360 games from sale.
EA and Respawn have decided to delay the release of the highly anticipated Star War Jedi: Survivor to April 28 - a month or so from the original March 17, 2023 date for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. Respawn confirms that the game is "content complete" but needs more time for polish.
Cyberpunk 2077 is one of the most visually impressive, and intensive, PC games currently out there. Especially when it comes to real-time ray-tracing. When NVIDIA lifted the lid on the new GeForce RTX 4090 and RTX 4080 it showcased the new Ada generation's DLSS 3 tech and Frame Generation enabled in Night City. The results were pretty spectacular, and now the game has been updated with full DLSS 3 support.
And you might be hard-pressed not to mistake this newest entry as Forza Horizon because there's a bit of an air here that hovers around Playground Games' lauded open-world driving series, right down to choosing a specific location, slightly tweaked for fun game design, as the player stomping ground.
Is it a problem that The Crew Motorfest looks to take cues from Forza Horizon? Not in our eyes, and certainly not if it's equally expansive and also carries with it more than enough of its own options and gameplay designs and innovations.
Talk about kicking off 2023 with a bang. January was already a pretty solid month, but compared to February, it was just a ripple.

We've reached peak... something. It's hard to tell in this day and age, what with everything moving so fast and making little-to-no-sense. I mean what I used to call lads is now called eshays and apparently it's a very popular fashion and lifestyle, which is weird because I used to (and still do) do everything in my power to avoid them. What a time to be alive.
Where were we? Oh right, peak... something. Here's a new sim about fixing up dilapidated sports facilities.
No, really.
"Live from PS5" is the slogan, which is meant to sound like a story lead-in from a news desk, which the freshly-released trailer after the jump will attest to. But more importantly than a new way to shout "hey, we're still here" is Sony's committal to PS5 unit availability, which is a global initiative.
