The tower defense action slasher gets patched with combat, user-experience, balancing and performance improvements.

Teravision Games has announced a patch for their VR hybrid tower defense/melee combat game Orcs Must Die! By the Blade, which addresses numerous issues in the just-launched title.

Developed by Teravision Games, makers of the tower-defense shooter Captain Toonhead vs. The Punks from Outer Space, Orcs Must Die! By The Blade is the first VR release in the Orcs Must Die series. By the Blade builds on the long-running franchise's core gameplay loop for VR. Beyond setting up traps and auto-battling as you try to survive waves of orcs, as in traditional tower-defense, the VR version of Orcs Must Die! will have you physically wielding weapons to defend your base in first person.

Orcs Must Die! By The Blade is available now on Quest 3 and Quest 3S.

Glasses-free 3D has a long, surprisingly storied history across PC hardware and gaming, and Samsung is looking to be the latest torchbearer. At GDC 2026, it announced that over 120 games will support its glasses-free 3D games by the end of the year. Samsung is highlighting the feature for its 27-inch Odyssey 3D 960XF monitor, which will

NVIDIA is expanding its DLSS 4.5 feature set this month, adding new frame‑generation options and wider game support as part of its next NVIDIA app beta arriving at the end of the month.

The new Nvidia App update introduces DLSS 4.5 Dynamic Multi Frame Generation, a system that adjusts the number of generated frames on the fly to help players hit a target frame rate or match their display’s refresh rate. It will be available as an override option within the app but as has always been the case with Multi-Frame Generation, it is a feature exclusive to RTX 50 series GPUs. Upcoming games like 007 First Light and Control Resonant will launch with ray-traced graphics in the coming months and will support DLSS 4.5 from launch.

Another significant GeForce-related announcement at GDC this week came via RTX Mega Geometry. This technology initially debuted in Alan Wake 2, compressing geometry into clusters to accelerate scene updates and reduce VRAM usage. This means dense foliage and other complex environments can be rendered with full-fidelity Path Tracing. Control Resonant will be adopting this feature when it launches this year and further down the line, CD Projekt Red also plans to implement it in The Witcher 4.

Alongside the DLSS updates, NVIDIA has released a new GeForce Game Ready Driver optimised for Crimson Desert and Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, both of which support DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation. The driver also adds support for more than 35 new G‑SYNC Compatible displays. The driver update is available now to download via the Nvidia App and directly through the Nvidia website.

At GDC this week, Nvidia is making a few GeForce Now-related announcements a little early. For starters, there are some updates coming to the game library UX to boost game discoverability. On top of that, a number of big upcoming titles have been confirmed as day-one releases for GeForce Now in the coming months.

In a new update to the GeForce Now interface, game discoverability gets a boost thanks to in-app labels for connected services like Game Pass and Ubisoft+. Soon, new platforms like GOG will be available to link with GeForce Now too for even greater access to your library across all devices.

The Install-to-Play feature is also expanding with a list of Xbox titles, including the likes of Brutal Legend from Double Fine and Contrast from Compulsion Games.

Later in the year, major games like Control Resonant from Remedy Entertainment and Samson: A Tyndalston Story will both be day-one additions to GeForce Now when they launch on PC.

KitGuru Says: There will still be another weekly library update for GeForce Now on Thursday, so there is more news to come.

Sharkoon is adding another keyboard to its roster this week, the OfficePal KB70W. This is a full-sized mechanical keyboard with soundproofing to make for more comfortable and quiet typing in the office.

The OfficePalKB70W uses a gasket‑mount structure paired with a polycarbonate plate and PU foam damping, aiming to reduce noise and provide a softer, more cushioned key feel without sacrificing responsiveness. As the name suggests, the keyboard is also wireless and if you want an even quieter version, then the KB70W Silent also exists, which ships with a different mechanical switch type for even further noise reduction.

Durability is a focus as well with double‑shot PBT keycaps to resist the build-up of wear and tear. The keyboard also has aesthetically pleasing south-facing ARGB LEDs, providing even illumination across the layout. VIA compatibility allows users to remap keys, adjust lighting, and create macros without additional software.

The OfficePal KB70W and OfficePal KB70W Silent are available now with a recommended retail price of €79.90.

ASRock has put its mark on the record books. This week, a new overclocking world record was achieved using an ASRock X870E Taichi OCF motherboard, along with an AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D processor.

Professional overclocker Alex2305 used the hardware to set a new PCMark 10 Express benchmark world record, scoring 14290 points, enough for the 1st Place position.

The ASRock X870E Taichi OCF motherboard was designed with overclocking in mind, with the board including an advanced power delivery system, premium components and an optimised PCB layout to achieve stability under extreme workloads. As you may expect, they are pleased with the world record result.

KitGuru Says: Another impressive world record. We will no doubt see some more records set in the months ahead as we get closer to the OC World Cup at Computex.

MSI has announced a collaboration with the anime Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End, releasing a limited‑edition hardware collection themed around the series. The lineup includes a graphics card, keyboard, mouse, and mouse pad, each designed with colours and motifs inspired by the show

The centrepiece of the collection is the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti 16G Frieren Edition OC. Based on MSI's proven Gaming Trio series, the card features the Tri Frozr 4 thermal design with StormForce fans and a nickel-plated copper baseplate. However, this particular model uses heat-reactive thermochromic ink, allowing the backplate to reveal its true colours when the GPU reaches operating temperatures, and revealing an artwork of Frieren with Himmel the Hero.

The Forge GK600 TKL Wireless Frieren Edition keyboard offers a compact tenkeyless form factor that blends performance with acoustics. The keyboard is equipped with linear mechanical switches and a multi-layer sound-dampening system featuring internal gaskets and foam to ensure a satisfying typing feel. Visually, the board is finished in lavender and white, with custom keycaps representing Fern and Stark. It includes a 4000mAh battery for extended wireless use and a dedicated keycap puller, allowing users to further personalise their setup with the themed accents included.

The Versa Wireless Frieren Edition mouse and the Agility GD20 Frieren Edition mouse pad round out the collection. The mouse is an ultra-lightweight 65g peripheral powered by the PixArt PAW3395 optical sensor, delivering a massive 26,000 DPI. It features an illustration of Frieren and Himmel on the primary buttons and uses MSI's exclusive Diamond Lightgrip texture for a secure feel. Complementing the mouse, the Agility GD20 mousepad features a low-friction, silky fabric surface that evokes the legacy of Frieren's old and new party.

KitGuru says: Anime collaborations are becoming increasingly common in the PC hardware space, but MSI’s Frieren lineup stands out for integrating the theme into the design.

Current developments around the GeForce platform show just how much the focus of modern graphics technologies has shifted in recent years. While raw GPU compute performance was the main focus for a long time, hybrid rendering methods and AI-assisted techniques are now increasingly moving to the forefront.

In case you haven't heard, this week is GDC, the Game Developers Conference, not to be confused with GTC, the Graphics Technology Conference—that one is next week.

It has been years since the Knights of the Old Republic Remake was first announced. Unfortunately, we haven't had any official news since, but Saber has reassured fans this week that the game is “still in development.

The KOTOR Remake was first announced for PS5 and PC in 2021. Initially, the game was being developed by Aspyr, the same studio responsible for handling modern KOTOR ports and a number of other Star Wars remasters. Somewhere along the way, the project ended up moving over to Saber Interactive and development started over again.

In a recent interview with IGN, Saber CCO, Tim Willits, said that the remake is “still in development” but they couldn't say much more at this time.

LucasFilm reportedly wants remakes of both of the original KOTOR games and may eventually want to make a third game as it looks to re-introduce the Old Republic timeline to fans. Aside from KOTOR Remake projects, original KOTOR director, Casey Hudson, formed a new studio last year to work on a ‘spiritual successor', titled ‘Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic' – and that game should be out within the next four years.

KitGuru Says: Fans have been waiting a long time for an Old Republic return. We don't know when we'll finally get the KOTOR Remake, but there are multiple projects in the works to look forward to.

At the start of the year, Ubisoft announced a surprise update for The Division 2, unveiling a new Realism mode in celebration of the franchise’s 10th anniversary. This was but the start of their anniversary plans however, with Ubisoft unveiling a full 2026 roadmap. The resurgence in support from the publisher has led to a surge in players, with The Division 2 hitting a new all-time peak concurrent player count on Steam – almost double its previous high.

Ubisoft has kicked off its 10 year anniversary Division plans with the launch of their new Anniversary Season; offering a bunch of cool cosmetics alongside the game’s exciting Realism Mode. This, in addition to the promise of future content throughout 2026 seems to have led to a spike in players.

While the title initially released on PC in 2019 as an Epic Games Store and Ubisoft Connect exclusive, The Division 2 ultimately landed on Steam in January of 2023 – years on from its initial launch – and so its peak concurrent player count on the platform was far from flattering (maxing out at 14,858 CCU).

Thanks to this latest update however, The Division 2’s CCU on Steam has almost doubled its previous peak, resting at 27,482 players.

While The Division 2 did receive plenty of post-launch support in its time, this recent influx in popularity proves that there is interest in this world still – and bodes well for the upcoming Division 3.

KitGuru says: Are you jumping back into The Division 2 with this latest Season? Does this give you more hope for the 3rd entry? Let us know down below.

As with the first game before it, Sucker Punch Productions promised that Ghost of Yotei would be receiving a free update in the new year focused on introducing the game’s co-op Legends Mode. With the update officially going live today, the team at Sucker Punch have now shared “everything you need to know about the online co-op multiplayer mode.”

Taking to the PlayStation blog, Legends Lead Designer Darren Bridges expanded on everything which we learned previously regarding Ghost of Yotei’s upcoming mode.

According to Bridges, the Legends mode began production at the same time as the single player campaign – meaning it was in development in one form or another since 2020/21.

Tying the game mode into Yotei’s narrative, the team revealed that Legends is a “retelling” of Atsu’s fight against the Yotei Six “way later; years, even centuries after the fact” – which explains why players will be fighting big demons.

In terms of gameplay, Sucker Punch confirmed that the mode will offer 4 difficulty options: Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum; each of which will feature “different enemies, different challenges” while earning bonus XP for your trouble.

One aspect in which Yotei is stepping up its game is in the visual customisation department, with Legends featuring “really wild stuff” to unlock fashion-wise. Another new element sees the mode’s lobby greatly expanded from a simple menu in the previous game to now being a fully fledged space featuring PvP options, mini games and much more.

All-in-all, it seems like Ghost of Yotei Legends is set to be an improvement across the board, taking a promising side mode from the previous game and expanding upon it in all aspects. It will be interesting to see how wacky the skins are when Ghost of Yotei Legends arrives later today, Full details on this new mode can be found HERE.

KitGuru says: Are you excited for the new Legends mode? How much time did you put into Tsushima’s? Could Yotei’s Legends mode become its own live-service styled success? Let us know your thoughts down below.

A new global licensing deal will bring toys based on the world's most popular multiplayer VR game to stores soon.

Bonkers Toys has announced a licensing agreement with Another Axiom, the makers of Gorilla Tag. Under the new agreement, Bonkers Toys will release Gorilla Tag-themed plushies, figures, collectibles and other toys to major retailers across the United States in 2027.

Gorilla Tag launched in 2021, and has since become a viral VR sensation amongst younger players. In 2025, the game topped over 1 million daily users and over 3.7 million monthly users on its way to a total of over 15 million unique players. The made-for-VR experience allows players to customize and embody virtual "Monke" avatars and to play games with friends and strangers in a social VR environment.

Gorilla Tag's wacky physics-based gameplay prioritizes social interaction and maximum silliness, and it's undeniably a good game that provides an inherently fun experience. But parents should be aware of what their kids are doing in VR. Despite being ostensibly made for kids, there is no shortage of terrible behavior happening in Gorilla Tag and in similar social games aimed at kids.

Gorilla Tag is free-to-play on Quest and on PlayStation VR2, alongside a paid version on Steam.

The terrific escape-room puzzler Fixer Undercover is now even better, and playable on Quest 2.

Creativity AR has announced a major update for their VR escape-room game, Fixer Undercover, which notably brings the game to Meta Quest 2. Previously Fixer Undercover had only been available on Quest 3, Quest 3S, and Quest Pro.

The patch also incorporates several bug fixes, visual enhancements, caching fixes to limit how much storage is required by the game, and performance increases across the board.

In addition to these significant updates, Creativity AR has gone through the game chapter by chapter, fixing bugs and generally improving things. The full details on these adjustments can be seen in a recent social media post.

We reviewed Fixer Undercover just last month, noting that, "VR has always had a penchant for great puzzle games and Fixer Undercover is no exception. The heavy emphasis on VR interactions and encouragement to think outside the box on solutions makes for a highly entertaining spy caper."

Fixer Undercover is available now on Quest 2, 3, 3S, and Pro for $14.99. PC VR and PlayStation VR2 releases are planned for "a later date," and the game can be wishlisted on Steam now.
