It will offer features such as uncapped framerates, ultrawide monitor support, DualSense controller compatibility, and various PC upscalers.

Crimson Desert adds confirmation of Denuvo DRM to its Steam page a week out from launch

Fans of Crimson Desert, particularly those who enjoyed its predecessor Black Desert Online, are excited about the game's impressive scale, visuals, and combat mechanics. It is positioned as a massive MMORPG-lite single-player experience. However, a week before its launch, it was announced that Crimson Desert will incorporate Denuvo DRM on Steam, which has sparked mixed reactions among the PC gaming community. Denuvo is known as a leading anti-tamper solution, and its inclusion is intended to protect revenue from piracy. A study indicates that games can lose up to 20% in revenue if cracked within the first week. The reputation of Denuvo is contentious, with some arguing that it complicates user experience and does not effectively combat piracy. Discussions on platforms like Reddit show a split among players regarding pre-orders and refunds due to the Denuvo decision. Additionally, there will be no mod support for PC at launch, but the game's system requirements are accessible.

Lego Batman Slashes RAM Requirements On PC As Prices Spike

PC gamers were surprised by the initial requirement of 32GB of RAM for Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight, which was later reduced to 16GB due to ongoing AI-driven RAM shortages. The original specifications were revealed on January 17, drawing comparisons to Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, which required only 8GB of RAM. TT Games stated that the initial specs were conservative estimates for securing a Steam listing. The game is set to launch on May 29, with specifications expected to evolve further. Similarly, another title, 007: First Light, also reduced its RAM requirement from 32GB to 16GB due to miscommunication. The price of 16GB memory kits has increased significantly, reflecting ongoing supply chain challenges. Valve has cited these price hikes as a reason for delaying the pricing announcement of the Steam Machine, anticipated to ship in the first half of 2026.

This Smartphone Lets You Use Windows, But Is Far From A New Windows Phone

Microsoft discontinued Windows Phone in 2017, a decision regretted by CEO Satya Nadella. Nex Computer is now taking pre-orders for the NexPhone, which aims to run Android, Linux, and Windows 11. The device features a custom Mobile UI designed for touch interactions, reminiscent of Windows Phone. When connected to an external display, it offers full Windows 11 capabilities but lacks cellular connectivity in Windows mode. The NexPhone is not intended to replace primary smartphones but serves as a secondary option with mid-range performance, powered by Qualcomm's DragonWing QCM6490 chip, 12GB of RAM, and 512GB of storage. It operates on Windows for Arm, which may present compatibility issues. While in Windows mode, cellular calling and SMS functions are unavailable, requiring users to switch to Android for those features. The device has a rugged design with military-grade build quality, a 120 Hz 6.58-inch display, a 64 MP main camera, and a 5,000 mAh battery, priced at 9.
