Stalker 2’s first expansion officially revealed, and it's taking us to the power plant where it all began

Stalker 2’s first add-on isn’t far off, and it may just be the thing to bring you back to post-apocalyptic Chornobyl in 2026.

Crimson Desert PC specs don't keep resolution and framerate targets a secret, and they don't use upscaling for everything either

Finally, a PC specification list that actually indicates resolution and framerate targets, and doesn't leave console players behind.
