The Hell is Us system requirements are finally here, but unfortunately, I'm finding it hard to get excited about them. It's all because they confirm my worst fear that developers are going to start leaning on upscaling when talking about performance. More surprisingly still is that despite upscaling, these specs are incredibly high for comparatively low performance targets. You're going to need one of the best graphics cards to get the best out of Hell is Us, according to these specs. Even then, you can only expect 30fps at 4K with some form of upscaling. While it's no secret that gamers have adopted the likes of Nvidia DLSS as a useful tool to aid gaming performance, it should not become a crutch for developers to use when testing the game for system requirements.

Perhaps Civilization 7 is fundamentally broken. Firaxis can change the UI, rebalance the leaders, add new settings and game modes for multiplayer, and address the numerous other complaints players have made about the 4X sequel, but the Ages system is inextricable; it's the core of the game, and people, seemingly, just don't like it. A number of big updates have been released for Civ 7, but the prevailing sentiment, at least on Steam, is only growing more negative. With rivals like Stellaris, Ara History Untold, and Age of Empires finding various successes, Civilization 7's all-important user rating has just hit a new, inglorious low.

Elden Ring Nightreign's latest patch, version 1.01.1, makes the co-op RPG somewhat easier for single player Nightreigners. It boosts the number of runes awarded for Nightreign solo expeditions, and gives you one free automatic revive per boss battle. A great day indeed for people who wish the game's multiplayer were still more in-game covenant than feature. By strange coincidence, the odds that I will actually play Nightreign have now gone up 1.011 times. I was pretty disenchanted by Nic's review, in which he summarised the game's Extended Fromverse battle royale ****-rushing as "a stripped-off part of FromSoft's creative identity with little appeal absent the whole". If they can significantly decrease the reliance on jolly cooperation I'll be much more interested - I had similar feelings about Helldivers 2 - though this still feels like a game I'm comfortable skipping.

Developer Grinding Gear Games is shifting its strategy regarding Path of Exile 2 update cycles and is now committed to releasing patches on time (on specific dates), even if it means cutting or delaying planned content—instead of spending time developing a feature without knowing when it will see the light of day. This new strategy marks a change from GGG’s earlier approach with Path of Exile 2, where it prioritized making sure features were 100% complete before releasing, which led to numerous delays.

Reports that modders unlocked a secret multiplayer mode in Stellar Blade aren't quite as they seem, claims the player who first posted a split-screen gameplay video that's going viral across social media. While overnight reports popped up that Stellar Blade developer Shift Up had built a defunct multiplayer mode directly into the game, the modder who discovered it and shared a two-player gameplay clip of Stellar Blade in Discord has insisted this is not the case. "I woke up to everyone posting clips that I shared in a Discord completely out of context, I avoided tweeting these for a reason," PhantomSomnus wrote on X/Twitter. PhantomSomnus then explained that "split-screen mode is built into Unreal Engine, [Stellar Blade developer] Shift Up did not create it." That's how PhantomSomnus managed to load a second Eve into their game. The split-screen multiplayer in the video was not developed by Shift Up, it was made by PhantomSomnus using Unreal Engine's native local multiplayer support. "The reason why I set up split-screen was to see if I could get any of it to work, but as you can see I failed," PhantomSomnus explained in a post on Reddit. O modder @phantomSomnus encontrou nos arquivos de Stellar Blade referências a multiplayer. E neste vídeo, com uma 2ª Eve spawnada, a tela surpresamente se divide em duas, como se o jogo estivesse preparado para um modo co-op local (dois controles)#StellarBlade #StellarBladePC [Hidden Content] [Hidden Content] — Stellar Blade Brasil (@StellarBladeBR) June 1, 2025 "There ARE signs of multiplayer in the game," PhantomSomnus said, "but they're online only." A previous post of theirs includes a screenshot depicting what they found when digging around the demo's backend. The "old scrapped/unused multiplayer PVP mode," as Somnus calls it, no longer works, but they did discover "some menus left over." Does this mean be any kind of multiplayer update or mod in the future for Stellar Blade? "Very unlikely," PhantomSomnus said. The PC version of Stellar Blade launches via Steam on June 11 along with a raft of PC-specific features, including AI upscaling via Nvidia DLSS 4 and AMD FSR 3, an unlocked framerate, Japanese and ******** voiceover, ultrawide display support, higher resolution environment textures, and DualSense support for haptic feedback and trigger effects. It was originally region locked in 100+ countries, but is now available to pre-order on PC in "over 250 regions." IGN's Stellar Blade review returned a 7/10. We said: "Stellar Blade is great in all of the most important ways for an action game, but dull characters, a lackluster story, and several frustrating elements of its RPG mechanics prevent it from soaring along with the best of the genre."

Even one year later, Stellar Blade is still going strong. Shift Up's hugely popular action game is about to come to PC, and the studio even seems to have a sequel planned. But that doesn't mean Shift Up doesn't have any other games in development right now; in fact, the team just pulled back the curtain on Project Spirits, and it certainly sounds like an eclectic mix of influences. Potentially pulling from Genshin Impact, Zenless Zone Zero, Ghost of Tsushima, and, of course, Stellar Blade, this is one to watch. Read the rest of the story...
