Extremely buggy and sometimes outright broken on Sonys systems, its technical issues were simply inexcusable. But here we are just over four months later, and we find ourselves considering the future of Cyberpunk 2077. Whats next for the game? Wh...

"I dont see an option to shelve Cyberpunk 2077." Updated on 14 April 2021 CD Projekt has vowed to stick with its embattled Cyberpunk 2077, despite concern about the state of the game and the studios ability to turn it around. Upon release in December, Cyberpunk suffered from a raft of crippling technical issues, particularly on consoles, and failed to live up to the expectations set by its pre-release marketing.

Published 13 Apr, 2021 As much as I adore Nier: Automata (degree: a lot), I cannot deny the PC version is a bit bum and has been since it launched four years ago. Its daft that weve had to use a fan-made fix to run it in the correct resolution or stop cutscenes stuttering. Square Enix did us dirty. But oh my giddy aunt, the stars have aligned and today they finally announced an "upgrade patch" for the post-apocalyptic RPGs Steam version. Presumably with the fixes from the ...

If you guessed this was because their PCs were getting a little long in the tooth, youd be right. We were just thinking about speccing out upgrades when Intel handily offered to supply the team with bran...

The PlayStation 5 is just a few months old - and still very hard to get hold of. But it already has a burgeoning list of terrific games to try.

PS5 Report Sheds Light on Bizarre Issue With the Console ✖ Both the PS5 and Xbox Series X released last November with a host of issues and design oversights. That said, of the two, the PS5 has some of the more rather peculiar issues. For example, the PS5 outputs -- as a default -- everything with High Dynamic Range, which isnt a problem until you go to play a game that doesnt support HDR and uses Standard Dynamic Range (SDR). Of course, this -- reported -- problem isnt a huge deal because the...
