Valve is doing great: Steam just surpassed 40m online users mark! All thanks to several strong releases, like Monster Hunter Wilds and Kingdom Come Deliverance II. In addition, GTA V received an update, and Marvel Rivals lost only 50% of its peak concurrent players value.

If only we could translate this into more stable and sustainable studios, right?

A few weeks ago Rockstar announced a free upgrade for the PC version of GTA V with much higher system requirements, FSR3/DLSS3, and Ray Tracing for lighting, reflections, and shadows. And the loading times are nearly instant on SSDs thanks to DirectStorage support.

So now it's available on Steam, on Rockstar Games Social Club launcher, but... NOT ON EPIC GAMES STORE! The company somehow forgot to release the new edition on EGS.

Flow, made entirely in Blender, is now the best Animated Film ⭐

A simple story of a cat, surviving the flood with friends, was received better than The Wild Robot, Inside Out 2, and Wallace and Gromit.

If you are a fan of Alita (the movie one), you may like a TV series where they also decided to draw a character on top of Rosa Salazar. But this time they did the same to Bob Odenkirk and 20 other people.

The game named YOUR MOTHER somehow appeared on people's wishlists and so today they got notifications: on sale — YOUR MOTHER. It's now a best selling new release.

And I'M NOT EVEN SURE what it's supposed to be or what gameplay features to expect... 😅

Maya and 3ds Max developer Autodesk has laid off 1,350 workers – around 9% of the entire workforce – to "accelerate investments" in AI.

Under significant pressure from Blender and Houdini, Autodesk is failing to provide worthy features.

Stores around the world are reporting that RTX 5070 series launch is not going to be smooth. For example, one of the biggest networks in Sweden said, that they got an impressive 0 of units!

Jensen quite literally promised that there will be no 5070 shortage, delayed the release, but in the end the issue is still the same.

It seems, that the only requirement for AMD 9070 launch is to just deliver their cards and enjoy profits.
