Call of Duty: Black Ops 6’s multiplayer beta is available now in early access, but unfortunately, the servers buckled under the influx of players logging in at the same time early on. A lot of the issues have been addressed due to Activision adding more servers. Servers went live at around 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET, and a lot of people hopped in all at once, leading to some problems due to simple server load, it seems. Developer Treyarch is now adding more servers to help deal with the load. “More servers? More servers!” Treyarch said. [Update: the server deployment has been enacted and Activision says improvements have been made to the multiplayer experience as a result]

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will soon be playable, and before it gets into players’ hands, Activision has revealed the system requirements for the PC version. Whether you’re looking to target the minimum specs or hoping to hit the recommended ones, you won’t need a cutting-edge machine to play this year’s CoD game–in fact, you’re not being asked for anything more than with 2023’s Modern Warfare 3.In terms of minimum specs, the game only calls for an Intel Core i5-6600 or AMD Ryzen 5 1400, 8GB of RAM, and an Nvidia GeForce GTX 960/1650 or AMD Radeon RX 470.

The most stringent requirement for some might be the need to have an SSD, where the game will take up 149GB a…

Artistically, Star Wars Outlaws looks like it could very easily exist in the same galaxy that the original trilogy of films took place in. That direction helped establish the visual language of the game, but developer Massive Entertainment wanted to take things a step further by making Star Wars Outlaws look like it had been shot with the same film lenses as the classic movies. To achieve this technical feat, the studio developed its own digital “camera lens” in the Snowdrop Engine, which was used to give Star Wars Outlaws a more cinematic presentation. While this is an optional mode, players can enable a widescreen presentation in the game that adds black bars to the bottom of the screen, a period-accurate film grain, and other small cinematic touches.”We developed a lens, a came…
