Monster Hunter Wilds has been facing several problems. Although the game had some issues with how difficult it was, these were quickly overshadowed by its poor performance, particularly on computers. Updates haven’t fully fixed the issues for players, and a strange bug even caused the game to run better if you had all of the downloadable content installed.

Okay, so the new Monster Hunter Wilds update – version 1.040.03.01 – is dropping for Steam players tonight at 6 PM Pacific Time (that’s 2 AM UTC on January 28th for those of us keeping track globally). Heads up though, it looks like there are some performance hiccups with the DLC check on PC. I just saw a really helpful video from Digital Foundry explaining the issue, and I’m linking it here so you can check it out.

Both Medieval Germany and the time period depicted in the Robin Hood legends (roughly the 15th century) would have made compelling settings for a game, particularly a detailed action-RPG focused on historical accuracy. However, the team at Warhorse Studios ultimately decided that changing the game’s location wouldn’t live up to their own high expectations for the project.

Over the last year, Xbox has increasingly acted like a game publisher that isn’t tied to specific hardware. While they still make the Xbox Series X and S consoles, they’ve started releasing games on platforms beyond just Xbox and PC. We saw this with the release of Gears of War: Reloaded on PS5, and it’s happening again with the upcoming remake of Halo: Combat Evolved, which will also be available on PS5 from day one. This means even Xbox’s biggest games aren’t exclusive to their consoles anymore. Although these initial releases are remasters or remakes of older titles, Xbox’s recent moves suggest a clear direction for the company – one that will likely affect the future of The Elder Scrolls 6.

GreedFall: The Dying World first launched in Early Access for PC on September 24, 2024.

The first PS4 game was well-received, but the developers are changing the way combat works in this new installment, taking inspiration from Dragon Age: Origins. This game takes place three years before the original and puts you in the role of a local from the island of Teer Fradee.

The release date for GreedFall 2: The Dying World is March 12th, as shown in a new trailer. The game has been available in Early Access for about a year and a half and will launch on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.

GreedFall II: The Dying World first launched in Early Access for PC on September 24, 2024.

To celebrate this achievement, a new trailer for the game is now available, and the game itself, along with the ‘Sanctuary of Sarras’ expansion, are both discounted for a short period.

Virgil Watkins, design director for Arc Raiders, explained to PCGamesN that the player experience was one of the very first things the team discussed when starting work on the game’s interface. He said they quickly realized the biggest limitations would be time and the overall scope of the project.
