Games and DC today announced Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, a new genre-defying open-world action-shooter, is now available for PlayStation 5 (PS5), Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Steam) as part of the Deluxe Edition.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League Delayed To February 2024

Warner Bros has announced that Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League has been delayed once again, with the new release date now set for February 2nd, 2024. Apparently, the developer needs more time to "work on getting the game to be the best quality experience for players." Originally, the game was scheduled to launch in 2022, but has been delayed to May 2023.

Earlier Bloomberg report hinted that Warner Bros will one again push the release to 2024, mostly due to negative responses at a PlayStation live stream, which were mostly focused on the requirement to play online for both single-player and co-op and battle pass. Now, Warner Bros has officially confirmed the delay over on Twitter, confirming the new February 2nd, 2024 launch date. Unfortunately, this is not a minor delay, so hopefully, Rocksteady Studios will be able to get it right this time and there won't be further delays. Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League will come to PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S.

NVIDIA GeForce Now Loses More Publishers, Xbox Game Studios and WB Games Wave Goodbye

NVIDIA's GeForce Now game streaming service has been a bit of a hit and miss lately, with some of the bigger publishers like Activision-Blizzard, Bethesda, and 2K games revoking availability of their digital game libraries on NVIDIA's service. Possible reasons for those events were unknown and the platform did suffer from it. Some speculations were that the publishers were going to switch their preferred online streaming service platform or build their own. So far it is still a mystery. However, it seems like there is no end to the pain, as some very big publishers decided to revoke their digital libraries as well.

Big names like Microsoft Xbox Game Studios, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, Codemasters, and Klei Entertainment have all decided to stop offering their games on the GeForce Now game streaming platform. This is very much a major disappointment and another big setback to the platform, as now you can not play any of the titles from these publishers. Titles from the games series like Halo, Gears of War, Forza, Dirt Rally, Batman and many more, are now not available. It remains to be seen if these publishers announce a move to another streaming service, so we have to wait.

Microsoft Unveils Project Silica, a Durable Silica Glass-based Optical Storage Media

Microsoft's cloud computing business unveiled Project Silica, a cold-storage device that's designed to stand the test of time. Essentially an optical storage media, it is a 7.5 cm x 7.5 mm x 2 mm square piece of glass that can store up to 75.6 GB of data (inclusive of error-correction code). Unlike conventional optical media such as CD or Blu-ray, which relies on etching pits of different lengths on a plastic substrate to denote ones and zeros, project silica uses nanoscale gratings and deformations, while AI is used for error-correction to overcome any aging of the media. The company developed a proof-of-concept using quartz glass.

"A laser encodes data in glass by creating layers of three-dimensional nanoscale gratings and deformations at various depths and angles. Machine learning algorithms read the data back by decoding images and patterns that are created as polarized light shines through the glass," writes Microsoft in its description of how Project Silica works. CD can typically hold data for 1-2 centuries provided that the disc is stored properly. After that, the plastic physical layer decays, losing data integrity. Project Silica, on the other hand, is designed to be resilient not just in a box, but also outside it. The media can "withstand being boiled in hot water, baked in an oven, microwaved, flooded, scoured, demagnetized and [withstand] other environmental threats that can destroy priceless historic archives or cultural treasures if things go wrong," says Microsoft.

For those players who are interested in trying Origin Access, EA is currently offering a seven-day free trial from now through March 26, 2018.
