Crimson Desert is “too much in the best and worst ways,” and that’s exactly why it’s unforgettable

Crimson Desert, developed by Pearl Abyss, is set to release on March 19, 2026, priced at .99, and will be available on PC (Steam), Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. The game offers nearly 100 hours of gameplay and features a vast world with diverse activities, including competitive archery, outlaw tracking, investment banking, and brawling. Players can encounter nearly 100 different creatures, 34 crafting manuals, and 28 factions. Traveling the map can take about four hours on foot, but there are 28 different mounts to enhance exploration. The combat system includes around 30 attack combinations across melee, ranged, and magical options. Performance on Windows PCs is commendable, running smoothly on mid-range and high-end graphics cards, though some features may challenge lower-end systems. The character-swapping mechanic allows players to switch between characters for different missions, but it may feel underdeveloped. The narrative evolves from a tale of vengeance into a more intricate story with engaging set pieces and well-crafted dialogue.

The FBI is looking for victimized Steam users who downloaded games with hidden malware — Investigation underway into multiple infected titles from 2024 to 2026

The FBI is investigating malware-infested games on Steam that may have affected players between 2024 and 2026. Affected individuals are encouraged to come forward confidentially. Notable games under scrutiny include Chemia, Dashverse / DashFPS, Lampy, Lunara, PirateFi, Tokenova, and BlockBasters, the latter of which reportedly siphoned off ,000 in cancer donations from a streamer. Cybercriminals exploit players logged into multiple platforms, compromising their online presence and Steam libraries. Valve is working to combat these threats, but the volume of new releases can overwhelm their vetting system. The FBI urges reporting relevant information to assist in prosecuting offenders. Affected individuals can fill out a form on the FBI's website or email Steam_Malware@fbi.gov to report incidents.

Microsoft Introduces Phishing-Resistant Windows Sign-Ins With Entra Passkeys

Microsoft will introduce phishing-resistant passwordless authentication through passkeys for Windows devices, integrated with Microsoft Entra. This feature is expected to enter public preview between mid-March and late April 2026 for global tenants, while government cloud environments will receive the update from mid-April to mid-May. Users can access Entra-protected resources using device-bound passkeys stored securely within Windows Hello, allowing authentication through biometric or local verification methods. This update expands passwordless authentication to unmanaged or personal Windows devices. Passkeys utilize public-key cryptography, enhancing security by storing a private key on the device and registering a matching public key with the service. Each passkey is uniquely associated with a specific device and cannot be exported or synchronized. Organizations must enable the Passkeys (FIDO2) authentication method in Entra for the preview. This initiative is part of Microsoft's broader strategy to eliminate passwords, responding to rising cybersecurity concerns related to password-based authentication.

Sony Has Reportedly Returned to Console Exclusivity in Part Because Some Within PlayStation Are Worried That R

Sony's upcoming titles, Ghost of Yotei and Saros, will remain exclusive to the PlayStation 5, marking a shift away from releasing games on PC. The company will reserve single-player experiences for its console while continuing to offer online games on PC. Upcoming titles like Marvel Tokon will be available on both PC and PS5, and Bungie's Marathon will launch on multiple platforms. The anticipated PC launch of Ghost of Yotei has been canceled due to concerns over the PlayStation brand and future console sales. Disappointing sales figures for PlayStation games on PC have influenced this policy shift, as has the potential for PlayStation titles to be accessible on the next Xbox. Sony's strategy has favored staggered releases for single-player titles, while live service games are published on PC from day one. Recent reports suggest potential delays in the launch of the PS6, possibly pushing it to 2028 or beyond, due to the AI-driven chip crisis. Rising memory costs could lead to challenges and price increases for consumers. Sony's recent closure of Bluepoint Games and continued operation of Nixxes Software, a specialist in PC ports, are also notable developments.
