PC Gamer's testing shows DLSS 5's new 3D-Guided Neural Rendering can cut frame rates by up to 73% on an RTX 5080 in NBA 2K27. Here's why frame generation numbers can't paper over a render-rate collapse - and why your mouse will notice.
FF7 Revelation Gets a Disc - but the Disc Alone Won't Run the Game
Square Enix confirmed a physical edition of Final Fantasy 7 Revelation, but with a catch: the disc requires an internet download before you can play, on every platform. For anyone who buys physical for real ownership, resale and offline play, that changes what the box is actually worth.
Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault Review - Capitalism With a Sword
Digital Sun's shopkeeping roguelike hits 1.0 and the loop is stickier than ever: raid dungeons by night, fleece customers by day. The shop half is thinner than the dungeon half, but I can't stop playing. Score: 8/10

CDPR never even thought about charging for the Witcher 3 remaster - and that tells you everything
In an industry that happily sells you the same game two or three times, CD Projekt Red is handing a fully overhauled Witcher 3 to every owner for free. For players in our region, where this game has changed hands for a decade, that's a bigger deal than it sounds.
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Just Got Eight-Player Splitscreen on Switch 2 - Free
Nintendo has slipped a free update into Mario Kart 8 Deluxe on Switch 2 that lets eight people race on a single screen, splitting the picture into eight portrait-style windows. Couch chaos is officially back on the menu.

Capy Castaway Review: All Heart, Half a Game
