Steam to add hardware specs to reviews — optional feature could help you dodge poorly optimized games

Steam's latest Client Beta patch notes introduce a feature that allows reviewers to include their system specifications with their reviews. This aims to enhance transparency and help potential buyers understand how hardware differences may affect gameplay experiences. Previously, reviewers had to voluntarily disclose their system specs, which was uncommon. The new feature will enable users to see a reviewer's hardware, aiding in the assessment of performance issues. It is unclear whether Steam will use its Hardware Survey data to auto-populate user specifications or if users will need to input their components manually. The feature will be optional, allowing users to keep their hardware details private if desired.

Battlefield 6 Season 2 is well-packed with additions, but it’s missing the killer element to lure me back in

Battlefield Studios has announced the content for Battlefield 6 Season 2, which includes two new maps (Contaminated and Hagental Base), new weapons, vehicles, gadgets, and several limited-time modes. The season is structured in three phases, with the first map available at launch and the second map introduced in the second phase. A limited-time mode featuring hallucinogenic gas will be available on February 17, with additional modes planned for later phases. Despite the new content, player engagement has declined since the initial excitement, and there are concerns about the focus on the free-to-play spinoff, Battlefield Redsec, rather than enhancing Battlefield 6 itself. The overall impression of Season 2's offerings is seen as underwhelming, with hopes that upcoming patch notes may provide gameplay changes to rekindle player interest.
