Embark Studios, the game studio behind The Finals, has officially made its next game, ARC Raiders, available for pre-order on PC via both Steam and Epic Games, as well as on Xbox Series and PlayStation 5. ARC Raiders is a PvPvE extraction shooter that hopes to deliver a slightly more in-depth world and progression system than other similar shooters, like Apex Legends. It will feature dynamic weather and a changing world as well as quests and in-game NPCs who all have their own agendas. The pre-order will cost $39.99 for the standard edition, but the Deluxe Edition will cost $59.99. That $60 gets you an exclusive Astro Bundle, Scrappy Cowboy skin, 2,400 Raider Tokens for in-game purchases, and the perks of the standard edition pre-order. The standard edition pre-order includes a duck-themed Hatchling Backpack and a Golden Rubber Duck Backpack Charm cosmetic. ARC Raiders will officially launch on October 30, and aside from the PC and aforementioned consoles, it will also be available on NVIDIA GeForce Now game streaming.

At the time of writing, ARC Raiders has a pretty substantial following on Steam, with over 169,000 followers leading the game to fifth place in SteamDB's "top wishlists" ranking. The developer also announced a Server Slam event to test the game's infrastructure on October 17 to 19. The Server Slam will be a free opportunity to play ARC Raiders ahead of launch, and it will give gamers a chance to try out the Dam Battlegrounds map, experience crafting and progression, and completing a handful of in-game quests. Players who participate in the Server Slam event do not need an invitation, unlike prior tests, and it will be available to players on all platforms, although it will be a gradual rollout throughout the first day of the event. No progress will be carried over into the main game, but players will get an in-game backpack cosmetic to commemorate their participation.

NuPhy's Hall effect gaming keyboards, like the Air60 HE we previouisly reviewed, Halo65 HE, and BH65, are pitched as alternatives to the likes of the Wooting 60HE, but one major concern for a lot of prospective buyers is the lack of support for analog input and controller emulation. A recent post on r/NuPhy on Reddit, however, revealed that NuPhy is currently testing analog input for its entire range of HE gaming keyboards, which would conceivably make them some of the most affordable Hall effect boards with the feature—when it eventually lands. It's still unclear when exactly the feature will launch to NuPhy's keyboards, but NuPhy recently launched a beta version of its NuPhyIO 2.0 web driver to test new features, so it stands to reason that it will be launched in an upcoming update to NuPhyIO.

The idea behind controller emulation is that you can map controller triggers and joystick inputs to specific keyboard switches so that the HE sensors and switches emulate the analog input of a controller instead of the binary input of traditional mechanical switches. The lack of controller emulation isn't a problem unique to NuPhy keyboards, with only a handful of Hall effect keyboards from brands like Wooting and Keychron currently supporting the feature.

After AMD recently leaked its own FSR 4 libraries on its GPUOpen GitHub repo, replete with libraries that support older hardware, it was only a matter of time before enterprising modders started demonstrating how those libraries could be used to port FSR to older RDNA GPUs. An enterprising Reddit user and modder recently posted a how-to guide explaining how to get FSR 4 implemented in games on RDNA 2 GPUs, and the results reveal improved image quality at the cost of performance. There are other caveats, as well, like having to use a very outdated driver or dive deep into configuration files to rename DLL files to get the upscaler working.

According to both the results posted in the Reddit thread and testing done by Computerbase, FSR 4 seems to offer a balance between native image quality and FSR 3.1 performance on both RDNA 3 and RDNA 2 hardware. Computerbase tested Cyberpunk 2077 in 4K on the Ultra settings preset using the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX, and FSR 4 delivered 11% faster performance than native, but fell short of FSR 3.1 frame rates by 16%. The Reddit user who posted the how-to guide tested an AMD RX6950 XT across a range of FSR 4 quality presets, and found that even when set to "Quality," the RDNA 2 GPU gained around 10% performance compared to native rendering in The Last of Us Part 2 at 1440p. Both sources comment that the image quality is a noticeable improvement over FSR 3, and it was more stable than XeSS, which, to its credit, beat out FSR 4 on RDNA 2 in The Last of Us Part 2 by up to 10%, depending on the quality preset. Curiously, similar performance deltas were observed when comparing the unofficial INT8 FSR 4 libraries on RDNA 4 to the officially supported FP8 libraries, and the performance difference between FSR 3.1 and FSR 4 is almost identical, as well.

Intel engineers today merged 14 compiler patches into the Mesa 3D graphics stack to fix performance regressions that threatened Xe3 iGPUs in upcoming Core Ultra Series 3 "Panther Lake" mobile chips. The patches focus on compiler scheduling and thread-level parallelism, reintroducing conservative static-analysis heuristics tuned to Xe3 behavior. In Intel lab testing, the changes produced measurable gains: peak gaming runs rose by up to 18%, while many gaming runs climbed in the mid-to-high single digits. Those runtime improvements come with a cost: shader pre-compilation workloads in shader-db benchmarks grew by about 25%. It is a compile-time penalty Intel accepted because it yielded the largest real-world frame-time benefits. The updates are already in Mesa 25.3 and maintainers plan backports to the stable 25.2 branch so Linux users can avoid regressions as Panther Lake hardware approaches market arrival.

However, field-testing also revealed stability issues that remain under investigation. During capture runs, a handful of titles produced periodic GPU hangs, and one demanding game was omitted from some test sequences after it repeatedly triggered a hardware hang, prompting further debugging by Intel and contributors. Because Windows GPU drivers are proprietary, comparable public results for Panther Lake on that platform are not available, making cross-platform comparisons incomplete. For Linux users planning to purchase Panther Lake laptops, staying on a recent Mesa build will likely be necessary to see the improvements and sidestep regressions. Distributions and users should expect updated packages or backports in the weeks following the launch. The patch series is Intel's active ongoing effort to tune the software ahead of launch. Buyers should keep drivers current to get the best experience when the new PTL-H and PTL-U SKUs arrive later this year. Below, the blue graph shows performance uplift, while the orange graph shows shader increase with these new patches applied.

Details of Logitech's upcoming Pro X Superlight 2c—where c stands for compact—has leaked courtesy of WinFuture. As the name suggests, this is a smaller version of Logitech's popular competitive gaming mouse. It sports Logitech's Hero 2 sensor that supports a sensitivity of up to 44,000 DPI, an 8 kHz polling rate and 88 G of acceleration. It also has LightForce optical switches, USB-C charging, PTFE feet and Logitech's LightSpeed wireless technology.

The Pro X Superlight 2c weighs in at a mere 53 grams, which is seven grams less than the full-size model, although the leak doesn't include how much smaller it is in size. The battery life remains at 95 hours, so the smaller size doesn't mean shorter play time. The rodent is expected to be available in retail relatively soon with a retail price of around €170, in black, white or magenta.

ChimeraOS developer Alesh Slovak has revealed Kazeta, a Linux-based OS that aims to bring back the ease of classic gaming consoles on PCs. After six months of development, the project addresses growing frustrations with complex digital storefronts and aims to preserve gaming collections through physical media. The system operates by loading DRM-free games onto SD cards that function as cartridges. Users simply insert a card and power on their PC to boot directly into the game, eliminating accounts, online requirements, and cloud dependencies. The system stores save data on internal storage while game cartridges stay read-only to preserve them. When users don't insert a cartridge, Kazeta shows a retro-style BIOS menu to manage game saves similar to 1990s consoles. The OS works with both new PC games and old games through emulation supporting DRM-free content from sites like GOG and itch.io.

Slovak created Kazeta after he saw non-tech-savvy users having trouble with Steam's complex layout and he grew tired of digital distribution himself. His renewed appreciation for physical media and concern over long-term game preservation drove the project's philosophy.

Dolby Laboratories, Inc., a leader in immersive entertainment experiences, today announced Dolby Vision 2, a groundbreaking evolution of its industry-leading picture quality innovation. Hisense is the first TV brand to announce it will bring Dolby Vision 2 to its lineup of premium televisions, such as RGB-MiniLED TVs. This is complemented by the leading French media and entertainment company CANAL+, which has also announced its commitment to support Dolby Vision 2.

For over a decade, Dolby Vision has pushed picture quality forward as the gold standard for premium HDR. Dolby Vision 2 builds on this success and is designed specifically to meet the evolving opportunities of television experiences today, serving as one piece of Dolby's broader mission to advance picture quality across all entertainment and devices, from the biggest to smallest screens.

Lenovo is planning to release two new OLED gaming monitors at IFA later this week, but in addition to @evleaks on X/Twitter posting pictures of the upcoming models, we've managed to dig out most of the specifications, alongside pricing. The two models are the Legion Pro 27UD-10 and 32UD-10, i.e. a 27 and a 32-inch SKU of the same model. Although the specifications don't list the exact type of OLED panel used, we know both models have a native 4K resolution and support a 240 Hz refresh rate. Lenovo uses its PureSight OLED technology and the panels are Dolby Vision, VESA DisplayHDR Black 400 and ClearMR 13,000 certified. Both models also support AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, but there's no mention of G-Sync support. Several different gaming modes are also supported.

Connectivity includes two HDMI 2.1 ports, one DP 1.4 port, as well as a USB Type-C port with DP 1.4 support, as well as three USB 3.x ports, but no KVM support of any kind, although Picture-by-Picture and Picture-in-Picture are supported. The stand supports height, tilt, pivot and swivel adjustments and appears to have some kind of a holder for phones or tablets. Rather unusually, there are four controls hidden at the back, bottom centre of the monitor, which seems like a somewhat awkward placement, with one of them being a game mode switch. The 27UD-10 has a typical power draw of 55 W, with a peak power draw of 130 W, whereas the 32UD-10 starts at 130 W and goes all the way up to 175 W. The 27UD-10 is listed by some retailers for €799, whereas the 32UD-10 is listed for €949. Both models are expected to be available later this month, although some retailers are already taking orders.

The latest in the recent flurry of gaming peripherals to launch comes out of Keychron's gaming-focused brand, Lemokey. The L0 HE 8K is a one-handed gaming keyboard reminiscent of the game pads, like the Logitech G13, that started flooding the scene in the early 2010s. However, instead of including functionality like extra side buttons and analog thumb sticks, the Lemokey L0 HE opts for 35 keys from the left half of the traditional QWERTY layout, and it includes a metal knob on the right edge of the keyboard. The knob and all of the keys are customizable and remappable in Keychron or Lemokey Launcher, and the switches used offer a resolution of 0.01 mm when it comes to actuation customization. The chassis is made from CNC machined aluminium, although it doesn't use the same gasket-mount structure Keychron and Lemokey typically use.

uses semi-proprietary "Lemokey Ultra-Fast Lime Magnetic Switches," which feature a dust-proof box stem—generally preferred for increased stability. The switches have a starting weight of 25 gf and a bottom-out force of 48 gf, which is very progressive for a linear switch, and they have customizable actuation point up to 3.35 mm. Lemokey doesn't specify the physical travel distance, but it seems to be 3.35 mm, as well, which is on the shorter side, even for HE switches. Curiously, the L0 HE uses two-sided "nuclear reactor" keycaps, which have a transparent window on the side and an opaque top, instead of the usual letter shine-through keycaps found on other Lemokey Hall effect keyboards. At least the keycaps seem to use the standard Cherry profile, and they're made of double-shot PBT, so the legend shouldn't wear off over time. The keycaps also allow for better shine-through effects from the south-facing per-key RGB LEDs.
