Rebellion, the studio behind the recently released Atomfall, has announced that its new post-apocalyptic adventure, set in the British countryside, has already attracted over 2 million players within its first month.

While Atomfall's availability on Xbox Game Pass from launch undoubtedly contributed to its widespread adoption, the sheer number of players engaging with a brand-new title in such a short timeframe is worth praising.

Rebellion also shared some intriguing in-game statistics, showing how players have engaged with the world of Atomfall. These include:

• Over 5.9 million enemies dispatched with cricket bats.
• More than 250,000 virtual pints of beer consumed.
• A staggering 500,000 cups of tea were brewed and enjoyed.
• A rather unfortunate 420,000+ player deaths attributed to rat swarms.
• And a dominant preference for tinned meat as the in-game food of choice, with over 14.1 million tins devoured.

On Opencritic, the game has a good 75 critic rating, with 64% of reviewers recommending it, and a 70 player rating. Critics have praised the tale, but significant gameplay flaws and design challenges keep it from being a great game.

GPU-Z (v2.65) just got support for two upcoming GPUs, and one of them is a bit unexpected. Besides getting support for the RTX 5060 Ti. The software also received support for the Radeon RX 9070 GRE, suggesting an imminent release.

Knowing this, instead of using the RX 9060 XT as a competitor to the RTX 5060 Ti, the company seems to be preparing to launch the Radeon RX 9070 GRE first. Interestingly, the same GPU-Z update also adds support for the upcoming RTX 5060 Ti, but only the 16GB variant. Previous leaks have pointed to 16GB and 8GB versions of the RTX 5060 Ti, but Nvidia has made no public announcements at this stage.

Beyond the AMD and Nvidia news, this GPU-Z update is noteworthy for its expanded support for Intel and Moore Threads GPUs. This includes support for the Intel A750E and A580E, embedded solutions catering to applications beyond gaming. Moore Threads support extends to the S3000, a server GPU for virtualisation.

Here are the full patch notes for GPU-Z v2.65.0 (via TechPowerUp):

• Added support for Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB, RTX 5090 Laptop, RTX 5080 Laptop, RTX 5070 Ti Laptop, RTX Pro 4000 Blackwell, RTX Pro 3000 Blackwell, Nvidia H200
• Added support for AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE, AMD Ryzen AI IGPU (Krackan and Strix Halo)
• Added support for Intel Arc A750E and A580E
• Added support for Moore Threads S3000 MTvGPU-1108

KitGuru says: Do you think AMD will eventually release the Radeon RX 9070 GRE worldwide?

Razer has officially launched Razer PC Remote Play, a new PC-to-Mobile streaming platform. This service allows users to stream their PC game library to smartphones, tablets, or Windows handhelds, aiming to deliver a seamless and high-fidelity experience. Razer PC Remote Play promises to leverage the full potential of a gaming PC, streaming at the mobile device's maximum resolution and refresh rate.

Following the beta release at CES 2025, the official launch of PC Remote Play includes a redesigned interface within the Razer Cortex PC application. It also expands support to include a wider range of mobile gaming controllers compatible with iOS and Android, integrates the AV1 video codec for improved visual quality and reduced latency, and incorporates software updates to enhance the overall remote play experience.

Razer PC Remote Play offers extensive controller compatibility, supporting Razer Kishi and other iOS/Android compatible controllers, aiming to replicate a console-like experience on mobile while harnessing the power of a gaming PC. iPad users can also utilize keyboard, mouse, and trackpad controls. The platform integrates with Razer Nexus, allowing users to browse, configure, and launch PC games directly from their mobile devices. Razer Nexus also facilitates control customisation, gameplay recording and sharing, and controller updates.

The service automatically optimises the streaming output to the mobile device's display. For Android users with Razer Kishi Ultra controllers, Razer Sensa HD Haptics provides tactile feedback synchronised with in-game events, such as shooting and engine rumbling, for enhanced immersion.

To set up Razer PC Remote Play, follow these steps:

1. Install Razer Nexus and Razer PC Remote Play on the mobile device.
2. Enable Remote Play within Razer Cortex on the PC.
3. Log in using a Razer ID. The PC and mobile device will then pair automatically.
4. Connect a Razer Kishi or other compatible iOS/Android controller to play controller-supported games.

Razer PC Remote Play is compatible with various platforms, including Steam, Epic Games, PC Game Pass, iOS 18+, Android 14+, and Windows 10/11. The application is available for download from the App Store and Google Play Store.

Larian Studios hasn't finished up work on Baldur's Gate 3 just yet. The studio has issued seven major patches for the game, adding all new content and gameplay for players looking to jump in for another run. All good things must come to an end though, with the game's final patch now set to rollout. 

Baldur's Gate 3 Patch 8 was first announced in November last year, with Larian confirming that it would indeed be the final major update to the game. Now, after months of testing, the patch is ready to rollout for PC and consoles on the 15th of April.

Patch 8 will introduce split-screen multiplayer on Xbox Series S consoles, a huge achievement given the fact that at one point, the Xbox version of the game was almost cancelled due to difficulties getting this feature working on Xbox Series S. Microsoft eventually made a concession to its Xbox Series X/S parity rules, enabling Baldur's Gate 3 to release on Xbox Series S without split-screen, while the more powerful Xbox Series X had the feature at launch.

More excitingly for fans, this patch also adds 12 new subclasses to the game, opening things up for even more creative and diverse characters. Cross-play multiplayer is also coming with the new patch, as well as a Photo Mode.

KitGuru Says: Are you still working your way through Baldur's Gate 3? Are you planning on starting a new character once the new subclasses release? 

Since acquiring Activision, Fans have been hopeful that Xbox will look to bring back some long-lost IP. It would seem that Prototype could be first in line for such a revival. 

Prototype first released in 2009 and was followed by a sequel in 2012. The Prototype games follow the story of Alex Mercer, a human shapeshifter that can transform into anyone, or use his abilities to wreak havoc. Unfortunately, the games did not reach Activision's lofty sales goals and as a result, Prototype was put on ice.

Prototype made a brief return in 2015, when both original titles were ported to Xbox One and PS4, but this re-release did not end up leading to any kind of sequel.

As spotted by Insider Gaming, according to one redditor, a survey has begun doing the rounds, asking for input on Alex Mercer as a returning protagonist and the shapeshifting gameplay of the Prototype games. Unfortunately, there is no further information beyond this. If true, I imagine we'd be getting a Prototype reboot, rather than a sequel, as the original game is now over 15 years old.

KitGuru Says: Would you like to see Prototype return? Would you want to start fresh with a reboot, or jump right back into where things left off with Prototype 2? 

With the main Destiny saga wrapping up last year, Bungie has spent much of 2024 and 2025 focused on its next game – Marathon. A reboot of a classic 90s Sci-Fi shooter, Marathon (2025) is a PvP multiplayer focused title, releasing in September. 

Marathon was officially revealed to the world yesterday with a deep dive gameplay trailer. In my opinion, the game looks too much ‘like Destiny' and I believe some casual fans will end up confusing the games for being set in the same universe. Whether or not this is by design remains to be seen but so far, Bungie has offered no suggestion that Destiny and Marathon are somehow narratively linked.

Marathon will put players in the shoes of a ‘runner', a person that has given up their human form to obtain supernatural abilities. Players will be popped onto maps either as solo runners, or in squads and then the goal from there is to loot as much as you can and escape the map alive, without being shot down and looted by an enemy squad.

The game releases for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S consoles on the 23rd of September. Alpha testing begins soon, so if you want to try the game out early, you can sign-up to participate in the invite-only playtests. While Bungie has not yet announced a price tag for the game, they have confirmed it will be a “premium title” but not a “full priced title”. With that in mind, it is likely to be priced similarly to last year's Concord, which sold for $40.

KitGuru Says: As much as I want Bungie to succeed and return to its glory days, from what I've seen so far, I don't think Marathon is going to be the game to make that happen. 

There's no doubt in the fact that Epomaker is a leading keyboard manufacturer, offering one of the best product lineups, ranging from full-sized keyboards, all the way to 65% designs, and they manage to nail every single one of them. Now, with Epomaker's Magforce 68, the company has been able to integrate compactness, design, and quality all in a single package, and this particular keyboard is what I would call one of the best options out there if you are looking for something "small." Epomaker Magforce 68 - Gateron Magnetic Jade Pro Switches, Hall Effect Technology & Speedy Type-C Connection […]

Thermaltake has introduced a revised version of its Steel Shadow Tough liquid cooler series in Europe, featuring subtle but significant changes. In Europe, the new series will be named LA(S) and available with 240mm and 360mm radiators.

As noted by Cowcotland, the core design, including the large, magnetically attached top panel for easy installation, appears to be the same. However, the fans have received a noticeable upgrade, operating within a speed range of 600 RPM to 2500 RPM and delivering 79.3 CFM airflow and 3.45 mmH2O static pressure. Moreover, the fans incorporate a daisy-chaining mechanism that simplifies PWM and RGB connection.

The most significant difference between the LA (240 and 360) and the LA-S (240 and 360) AIO liquid coolers is the display on the latter. While the LA series has a water block cover with the Thermaltake logo and lighting, the LA-S uses a 2.4-inch display with CPU metrics.

The Thermaltake LA series starts at €74.90 for the LA240 model and increases to €84.90 for the LA360. As for the LA-S series, the LA240-S model goes for €84.90 and the LA360-S model for €94.90.

KitGuru says: Considering their feature set, the new Thermaltake AIO CPU coolers sure look cheap. Would you go for the LA or the LA-S AIO liquid coolers?

Back in August, we received the first teaser trailer for the next Mafia game. Rather than a sequel, we are getting Mafia: The Old Country, a prequel that explores the origins of the Mafia families. Last night, an update to the game's Steam Store listing revealed that the game will become available one-year on from its initial reveal.

Mafia: The Old Country is a prequel, set years before the events of the first game. This is essentially an origin story, set in 1900s Sicily, presenting a gritty mob story during an era that was particularly dangerous and unforgiving for those involved.

Mafia: The Old Country will become available for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S starting on the 8th of August, roughly one year on from the game's original announcement.

All eyes are on publisher Take-Two and its subsidiaries this year. Take-Two owns 2K Games, which is publishing Mafia. With the game arriving in August, it seems likely that Grand Theft Auto 6 will be coming in the October-November timeframe.

KitGuru Says: Are you looking forward to the next Mafia game?

Sharkoon has expanded its Skiller headset lineup with two new offerings: the SGH20 USB and the SGH25. Both headsets aim to provide immersive audio and comfortable wear, catering to different user needs and budgets, even if both are still entry-level.

The Skiller SGH20 USB headset presents a design with dynamically changing RGB lighting. The headset uses 50mm drivers and connects via USB for a straightforward setup with PCs. For extended gaming sessions, the SGH20 has soft synthetic leather ear cushions designed to seal around the ears, while the cushioned headband aims to distribute weight evenly. The flexible microphone can be easily positioned for clear voice transmission.

Priced higher, the Skiller SGH25 offers a different set of features. It also uses 50mm drivers and a USB connection, but instead of synthetic leather, it uses cloth for the ear cushions. As such, it remains comfortable even in warmer environments. Moreover, the SGH25 features an inline controller integrated into the cable, providing volume and microphone control, and circumaural earcups to isolate noise and provide a snug fit. The adjustable headband is designed to adapt to various head sizes and shapes. Another extra of the SGH25 over the SGH20 is the detachable microphone.

The Skiller SGH20 is priced at €19.90, while the Skiller SGH25 is positioned as a more budget-friendly option, costing €19.99.

KitGuru says: If you were to get an entry-level gaming headset, would you consider the new Sharkoon Skiller SGH20 and SGH25?

TeamGroup is adding to its T-Force DDR5 memory line-up this week with the new XTREEM CKD ARGB DDR5 and T-FORCE DELTA CKD RGB DDR5 memory kits. CKD series memory modules are fully compatible with Intel Core Ultra and Intel 800 series platforms, ensuring system stability during high-load operations.

The T-FORCE XTREEM CKD ARGB DDR5 features a 2mm premium aluminum alloy heat sink, crafted through aluminum extrusion, CNC machining, and a sandblasted black finish. On top you'll find a two-piece light pipe with translucent multilayered optical design. In contrast, the T-FORCE DELTA CKD RGB DDR5 draws inspiration from stealth fighter jets, featuring a 120° angle RGB lighting design paired with sleek geometric contours.

Both memory modules support Intel XMP 3.0 one-click overclocking technology, enabling users to unlock peak performance without complex configurations.

The T-Force Delta CKD memory modules are available with speeds up to 8800MHz, while the T-Force XTREEM CKD memory modules are available at up to 8400MHz.

KitGuru Says: How fast is your current memory? Are you thinking of upgrading to an ultra-fast DDR5 kit?

When the RTX 5070 first launched in the UK, it held a £539 MSRP. Now, we are starting to see RTX 5070 drop below MSRP for the first time in the UK. We are also starting to see RTX 5080 pricing settle at under the £1000 mark. 

The Gainward GeForce RTX 5070 Python III is currently on sale for £518.99 in the UK, putting it around £20 below the launch MSRP price. The RTX 5070 is a solid GPU for 1080p and 1440p gaming, but inflated launch prices hampered opinions a bit. Getting one below MSRP improves things from a price to performance standpoint, particularly for anyone who skipped RTX 40.

For those after something a bit faster, the Palit RTX 5080 Gaming Pro is currently at its cheapest price. We reviewed the card at launch and at the time, it cost over £1100. Now a few months on, it is available and in stock for £999.95.

KitGuru Says: We'll keep an eye out for more GPUs dropping below MSRP in the months ahead. 

Each week, the Epic Games Store gives away a title or two for all those with an active EGS account. Available right now, Epic account holders can get their hands on the fun co-op beat ‘em up River City Girls alongside some bonuses for the newly-released free-to-play Arcadegeddon.

Available to add to your library from now until the 17th of April at 4PM UK time, Epic is giving away the fun co-op classic-styled beat ‘em up River City Girls.

Developed by WayForward of Shantae fame, the game received a solid reception upon its 2019 release – spawning a sequel a few years later.

Beyond this, Epic is giving away the Astarion's Champions of Renown Pack for the free-to-play strategy game Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms.

Last but not least, those interested in IllFonic’s newly-released free-to-play rogue-lite shooter Arcadegeddon can enjoy a free bonus of 5,000 ARCoins.

All three of these offerings will be available to claim and keep forever for the next week, at which point they will be replaced by Botanicula and more in-game currencies for another F2P game.

KitGuru says: What do you think of this week’s offerings? Do you bother with free-to-play games? Who’s your favourite character in River City Girls? Let us know down below.

Over the course of the Switch’s life cycle, Nintendo ported pretty much every single Wii U exclusive to the console, offering enhanced resolutions and sometimes additional content. One of the few games to never see such a remaster was The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD. Despite the fact that the GameCube version of Wind Waker is coming to Switch 2 through NSO, the company claimed that a more comprehensive port could happen in future.

Following the confirmation that Wind Waker would be coming to Switch 2 through the system’s new Nintendo Switch Online GameCube emulator, many fans were left fearing that the well-received Wii U port of ‘Wind Waker HD’ would be ignored as a result.

In an interview conducted by Kinda Funny’s Tim Getty towards Nintendo of America's senior vice-president of product development [Nate Bihldorff], it was revealed that Wind Waker HD could still come to Switch 2, with Getty later stating:

“I did ask if having The Wind Waker on Nintendo Switch Online precludes it from the Switch 2 getting the actual Wii U port at some point, and he was very quick to say ‘no, all options are on the table.'”

Of course, Wind Waker HD coming to Switch 2 could be a monkey’s paw situation at this point, given the current pricing strategies for Nintendo’s ports. Still, Wind Waker HD was an excellent title, and so it (and Twilight Princes HD) deserve to be deshackled from the Wii U’s dying grasp.

KitGuru says: What did you think of the Switch 2’s NSO line-up? What did you think of the changes made for Wind Waker HD? How much do you reckon Nintendo would charge for a proper Switch 2 port? Let us know down below.

With Season 2 of HBO’s The Last of Us mere days away, buzz surrounding the upcoming series has begun to bubble up. Ahead of this, one insider has shared just how much the success of the first Season impacted game sales.

Back when Season 1 of HBO’s The Last of Us first dropped, we received some indication as to the synergistic impact of the show on its videogame sales performance.

Though a rather slim section of the market, it was reported at the time that the UK boxed sales for The Last of Us Part I spiked by 238% following Season 1’s premiere.

Ahead of the second season, we’ve now gotten much more comprehensive statistics, with Christopher Dring of The Game Business revealing that Season 1 resulted in two particular spikes in sales – after the season premiere (38%) and during the finale (75%).

Even amongst those who already owned the games (or perhaps had access through PS Plus), monthly active players skyrocketed – going as high as a 1000% month-over-month increase for TLOU Remastered; 440% for TLOU Part II and 347% for the PS5 console exclusive Part I Remake.

With Season 2 just a couple days away, it will be interesting to see how the game sales are impacted this time round – and whether Part II will see the highest bump.

KitGuru says: Are you hyped for Season 2? Will you be playing / replaying the games in anticipation? Let us know down below.

Since its initial release back in 2022, Vampire Survivors has continued to thrive through the consistent release of DLC – both free and paid. Available right now, the free Emerald Diorama update has gone live; featuring a dozen new characters, weapons and much more.

Making the announcement on Steam, the team at Poncle officially unveiled the Emerald Diorama DLC. Available right now, this expansion is made in collaboration with Square Enix’s SaGa RPG franchise and features 12 new characters; 16 weapons; 9 music tracks; character parties and the new World-Weaving Stage.

Beyond this, the game has also gotten a more general update. Named The Coop, this introduces a new relic which allows you to speed up the game alongside two brand new Adventures (with 6 chapters each); a new stage; character; weapon and more.

Last but not least, Vampire Survivors has finally gotten full cross-save support, allowing you to seamlessly play between PC, Xbox, Android and iOS. Unfortunately, Switch owners will have to wait a bit, and PlayStation players may be left out of cross-save entirely. Poncle’s full statement on the matter can be found HERE.

Regardless, this represents a massive update for Vampire Survivors, especially given the fact that every addition is pretty much free. Hopefully the cross-save situation on PS4/5 gets resolved as soon as possible.

KitGuru says: Are you excited for this update? Will you be hopping back into Vampire Survivors? Which platform do you play the game on the most? Let us know down below.
