For months, we have been hearing rumours that Warner Bros is seeking a buyer. Now, Netflix has emerged as the bidding war winner with the announcement of an $82.7B acquisition deal.
Due to the Warner Bros. Discovery merger, this acquisition is a little more complicated than it initially seems. Earlier this year, WB Discovery split into two distinct groups, a Global Networks group comprising of sports and news stations like TNT and CNN, and a Streaming & Studios group made up of the likes of DC Studios, HBO, the WB Motion Pictures Group and more. Just as you would expect, it is this valuable Streaming & Studios Group that Netflix is acquiring.
The deal will also include a number of game studios to bolster the Netflix Games side of the business. This includes the likes of NetherRealm, Avalanche Studios and Rocksteady, along with their associated IPs like Mortal Kombat, Batman Arkham and Hogwarts Legacy. However, Netflix has not yet expressly laid out its plans for these studios yet, so there could be further impact in this area, as cost-cutting will inevitably follow on from a major $82.7 billion purchase.
This acquisition will also likely mean the end of the HBO Max streaming service as the content will be folded into the Netflix library. However, the global rollout of some of these shows on Netflix may be impacted by lingering deals. For instance, here in the UK, most HBO shows currently go to the Sky-owned Now TV service first and we do not know how many years are in place for that deal to continue.
As for the film side of things, Netflix has stated that it fully intends to continue supporting theatrical releases before placing movies on the streaming service. However, many film directors and producers still have questions around how long these theatrical rollouts will run for. In the past, Netflix has limited its theatrical film runs to just a week or two and many established directors want more than that.
KitGuru Says: Warner Bros. has been around for a century, so this is a seismic shift in the film and TV landscape. The deal won't be completed until next year though and there is always the chance that regulators attempt to block it, as we saw with Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard, which could delay things.
Alongside its own first-party efforts, Sony Interactive Entertainment has in the past partnered with external studios to develop PlayStation exclusive experiences. In a surprise announcement, SIE has confirmed that they are now working with Left4Dead creator Mike Booth on an “unannounced four-player, cooperative shooter.”
Making the official announcement via a press release, Sony Interactive Entertainment confirmed their “partnership with video game studio Bad Robot Games, a division of Bad Robot, the film, television and theater production company founded by JJ Abrams, for SIE to produce and publish the studio’s upcoming project, an unannounced four-player, cooperative shooter directed by Mike Booth (Left 4 Dead).”
Little else is known about the project currently, however Sony did confirm that it will be launching on both PlayStation 5 and PC (as they have started to do with many of their multiplayer releases).
Speaking on this latest partnership, Bad Robot Games CEO Anna Sweet stated “With the support of PlayStation, we hope to deliver a bold, innovative experience that is truly special for players. I could not be more excited that Mike Booth is at the creative helm, crafting a cooperative adventure that will lead to unforgettable moments with friends.”
As mentioned, Mike Booth is known best for creating and directing the iconic co-op shooter Left4Dead and its sequel Left4Dead 2 as part of Turtle Rock Studios.
While the studio did try to catch lightning in a bottle once again with the spiritual successor Back4Blood, Booth had left the team by this point, likely contributing to its less-than-stellar reception.
Given the fact that Booth has not shipped a major title in quite some time however, it will be interesting to see whether Bad Robot Games has the juice to create another co-op shooter classic.

Each week, the Epic Games Store offers a title or two for free to all those with an EGS account. In anticipation of the upcoming Game Awards, Epic is teasing that next week’s offering will be a pretty big deal, telling users to “tune in Dec 11” to unwrap their present.
Typically, Epic Games will freely announce the following week’s promotional titles once this week’s games have been made available to claim. That said, on special occasions (often near the end of the year), the storefront will instead keep their future titles hidden to make for a welcome surprise.
Such is the case for next week’s offering, with the only potential hint at what the title might be being its purple and green-themed wrapping ‘paper’ with various Christmas-themed icons – and a PC mouse – being printed on the picture (though this could be little more than a generic image.)
While we will simply have to wait to find out what is being offered, EGS members can stay occupied with this week’s offerings:
The Darkside Detective
The Jackbox Party Pack 4
Available on both mobile and PC, The Darkside Detective is a comedy-focused pixel art adventure game which “sees Detective McQueen and his sidekick, Officer Patrick Dooley, investigating cases plaguing Twin Lakes and its colorful citizens.”
Jackbox Party Pack 4 meanwhile offers a collection of fun mini games which you can play with friends or family – perfect for the upcoming holidays.
As always, you have until next Thursday, the 11th of December at 4pm to claim these titles, at which point they will be replaced by Epic’s ‘Mystery Game’ offering.
KitGuru says: What do you think next week’s free game will be? What do you hope it will be? What’s your favourite mini game across all of Jackbox’s titles? Let us know down below.
Though perhaps less known than other services, Amazon (via its Prime Gaming / Luna subscriptions) gives away a solid selection of titles for free every month. For December, Amazon has announced over a dozen games will be claimable – the first of which are available now.
Hi-FI Rush and studio Tango Gameworks have had an interesting trajectory. Despite the rhythm-focused action title being a success in the eyes of Microsoft, the console maker closed down its developers in 2024 as part of a massive round of lay-offs. Luckily, both Tango and Hi-Fi Rush were saved by gaming giant KRAFTON. While we’ve heard little from Tango Gameworks since, Hi-Fi Rush has gotten a couple notable updates – the latest of which will removes= DENUVO DRM from the game.
Publishing a post to their Steam page, Tango Gameworks confirmed that the PC version of Hi-Fi Rush is set to have its DENUVO anti-tamper DRM removed in a little over a month’s time, writing:
“Denuvo support for the PC version of Hi-Fi RUSH is scheduled to end at 00:00(KST) on January 16, 2026. Please note that even after Denuvo is removed, the game’s own anti-tampering features will remain active and will not affect normal gameplay. This adjustment is intended to provide a more stable and efficient service environment. We sincerely appreciate all players who continue to support the game through legitimate use.”
While undeniably a welcome change, those wanting to ensure that they are able to play the game following DENUVO’s removal will have to update to the latest patch due to the “internal system structure of the game” undergoing “significant changes.”
As mentioned, Hi-Fi Rush has received a couple updates since Krafton took over, with the game seeing a change in its service operator last month and now the removal of DENUVO.
Whether this is all in anticipation of something greater, we will have to wait and see. Regardless, removing DENUVO is a welcome move.
KitGuru says: What do you think of the announcement? Is the inclusion of DENUVO a dealbreaker? What do you think is next in store for Hi-Fi Rush / Tango Gameworks? Let us know down below.
Men In Black: Most Wanted, the latest pop culture IP to make its way to VR, mostly succeeds by remembering that a recognizable franchise means nothing without good gameplay to back it up. Read on for our full review.
In mid-November, Coatsink, best known for stealth thriller Jurassic World Aftermath, surprised VR players with the reveal of Men In Black: Most Wanted, a new title coming exclusively to Meta Quest today. This 1990s-based action-shooter has players donning the franchise's famous suit and sunglasses for a mission-based campaign set in the titular world of extraterrestrial law enforcement. One could be forgiven for approaching this title with trepidation, given the short time between announcement and release, coupled with previous entries like Stranger Things and Attack on Titan being divisive at best.
The Facts
What is it?: A story-based shooter based on the Men In Black comic and film series. Platforms: Quest (reviewed on Quest 3) Release Date: Out Now Developer: Coatsink Publisher: Sony Pictures Virtual Reality Price: $24.99
You play as Agent I, who has been part of the organization for some time when the game begins. A brief VR tutorial teaches you how to walk, turn, run, and climb using your controllers. You also learn how to use telekinetic grab using your magnet gloves. After this, it's right into the fire (literally) with a brief tutorial mission. Here, you wake up with no recollection of who you are and your partner, Agent L, quickly informs you that you have been neuralyzed, a franchise term for having your memories erased with a tool called a neuralyzer, and you're under attack from aliens.
What follows is an exhilarating, albeit brief, chase sequence through back alleys that reinforces the artificial stick-based movement and culminates with a Gatling gun shootout against a wave of aliens. This whole sequence lasts just a couple of minutes and effectively sets the tone of the rest of the game.
From here, the game settles into a familiar loop of briefing, mission, debrief, and repeat. Between each mission, you spend time at the MiB headquarters, interacting with transient aliens and fellow agents. Players familiar with the franchise will find several hallmarks here, most notably the infamous worms hanging out in the kitchen and the armory. Your supervisor is Agent O, transplanted from the 2019 film, Men In Black: International. You'll wield several items from the films as well. For anyone who is a fan of the franchise, the wish fulfillment factor is high, other than driving the car. You can also change the appearance and voice of your character via a terminal in your office.
Men In Black: Most Wanted screenshots captured by UploadVR on Meta Quest 3
Your partner, Agent L, has an injured shoulder and hangs back in the car, communicating with you via radio. Your loss of memory at the start of the game works as a serviceable B plot, while also allowing the character to unravel the game's mysteries alongside the player. I found myself longing for a way to replay conversations. It's quite easy to get distracted in early parts of missions when you're trying to find your way and there is no option to revisit prior conversations to see what you overlooked. I found myself reloading my save a few times because I forgot what my partner told me I needed to do next, and the single-line objective that is always accessible does not paint a clear enough picture.
The 'Most Wanted' moniker in the game title refers to the murderer's row of aliens each mission tasks you with tracking down. Several missions also end with a boss fight with the aforementioned Most Wanted, most of which require more than just a "shoot until they go down" tactic. This world isn't just chock-full of aliens looking to kill you though. The game is based out of New York and hosts a colorful assortment of characters, human and alien, to interact with. The story itself is rather perfunctory and it's really the voice performances, particularly all of the aliens, that keep the entertainment up when you're not in shootouts. It's not groundbreaking by any stretch, but the campaign stays entertaining throughout its six to eight hour runtime.

Fighting the evil Cylathians in Men In Black: Most Wanted. Captured by UploadVR on Quest 3
Several missions have you infiltrating various locations, talking to and sneaking around NPCs to gain access to hidden areas. If you are somewhere you should not be, a 'trespassing' warning flashes. Being caught doesn't result in a game over and reset, though. Instead, you're either attacked by aliens or you have to neuralyze the innocent humans that spotted you. Occasionally, you have to 'interrogate' an alien to get the information you need, which involves either destroying some of their possessions or slapping them around.
Once you make it past the opening location, stealth and investigation immediately give way to action, with shootouts against numerous aliens, most prominently a race called the Cylathians. There are about a half dozen different versions of these foes, all with different weapons and some requiring a specific takedown method. These aren't your only enemies, but they comprise the bulk of your opposition.
Each mission also has a slew of hidden collectibles, including artifacts and comic books to display in your office, aliens disguised as coffee mugs that bolt if you come up on them too quickly, and discs that can be used to upgrade your weapons. After finishing a mission (and getting a rating), it becomes immediately replayable from the assignment screen, so completionists will be inclined to dive back in to get top marks and find all of the hidden goodies.
You start with a basic set of tools, a pistol with infinite ammo, a radar for scanning alien remnants, a healing spray, and the neuralyzer. As the game progresses, you're summoned to the Armory between missions to acquire and learn to use new tools and weapons. As you acquire new tools, subsequent missions present obstacles and relatively mild puzzles those tools are required to solve.

Using the Neuralyzer in Men In Black: Most Wanted - Captured by UploadVR on Quest 3
Comfort
Men In Black: Most Wanted is not recommended for new VR users as it primarily utilizes artificial stick based movement with no exclusive teleport option.
The settings menu offers a host of comfort choices to alleviate potential motion sickness. Players can choose between snap or smooth turning, with multiple range/speed settings for each.
A vignette is available with slider bars for various positions (crouching, walking, running, turning, etc.). For those sensitive to eye strain from brightness, there are also brightness and contrast sliders to adjust each scene in the game to the player's preference.
There is some VR jank, particularly with opening and closing doors, and occasionally I would get stuck on an object and have to physically step aside to 'free' myself, but the overall experience is refreshingly bug free.
Visually, the game has the same cel-shaded art style as Jurassic World Aftermath. Aesthetically, it feels like being in a comic book which, given the original source material, is fitting. Anyone seeking a more realistic looking game is likely to be disappointed here. I should also point out that the settings offer sliders to change the brightness and contrast levels of the visuals. You will want to do this as missions alternate between night and day. There were points where I turned the brightness and contrast up during a nighttime mission, only to turn it back down when I got back to the notably bright MiB HQ. It's a very welcome comfort setting, particularly on the Quest, which can sometimes struggle with darker scenes. It would be great to see more games offer such settings.
Finally, there's the single and multiplayer Invasion mode that is essentially a wave based horde mode. I did not get a chance to try the Invasion mode with other players for purposes of this review while playing prior to release. You eliminate enemies in waves and earn points for each kill that can be cashed in during the 90-second break between waves for upgrades, perks, and heals. Occasionally, you have to stand within a specific zone to charge a device to clear a level. This is nothing revolutionary, but like the collectibles in the campaign, it gives anyone who enjoys the game a reason to keep firing it up.
Men In Black: Most Wanted Review - Final Verdict
Overall, Men In Black: Most Wanted is an enjoyable, if somewhat lightweight, action game. Nothing in this game reinvents the wheel, but it's all executed very well, with smooth performance throughout and responsive controls. That's enough for me to easily recommend it for fans of the MiB franchise and anyone looking for a solid action game to hop into.

When we looked at Kingston's Fury Renegade G5, the company's first Gen 5 drive in early 2025, the largest capacity available at launch was the 4TB flagship model. Skip ahead seven months, and that capacity limit has been doubled with the latest addition to the lineup, the 8TB Fury Renegade G5.
Kingston's Fury Renegade G5 uses a Silicon Motion SM2508 controller combined with 218-layer 3D TLC NAND. There is also an LGDDR4-4266 DRAM cache IC.
The quoted sequential read/write performance figures for the drive are the same as the 4TB model – up to 14,800MB/s reads and up to 14,000MB/s for writes.
As for 4K random performance, the 8TB drive has the same 2,200K IOPS read figure as the rest of the range, with a write figure of up to 2,200K IOPS, the same as the rest of the Fury Renegade G5 family, except for the 1TB model.
Power consumption for the 8TB model is officially quoted as 0.27W average and 7.5W maximum. Kingston quotes an endurance figure for the 8TB drive as 8.0PB, and they back the drive with a 5-year warranty.
Deadly Delivery is great fun experienced with friends or online with others. Frantic, darkly funny, and bursting with exquisitely timed scares, it has many of the best elements that make VR so compelling.
You are a lowly goblin. But don’t worry. As the game’s eponymous Deadly Delivery Corp office morale poster loudly proclaims from its place on the wall of the virtual breakroom/multiplayer lobby, you can still be useful!
In your new role as “Delivery Goblin” you’ll spend your life (and many, many deaths) delivering parcels to ominous doorsteps buried in labyrinthine caves and dungeons. In return, you’ll earn gold for the company, fill your three-day quota, and survive to deliver again. It’s a dirty job, but you know the rest.
The Facts
What is it?: An online co-op comedy horror game about delivering parcels into haunted mines. Platforms: Meta Quest, Steam (reviewed on Quest 3S) Release Date: Out now Developer: Flat Head Studio Publisher: Flat Head Studio, Creature Label Price: $9.99
Gameplay Loop and Mechanics
We begin each session of Deadly Delivery in a sort of prep area where we can hang with our teammates, change outfits, gamble with the team’s communal pool of cash, buy items and cosmetics and tools, and choose a biome/dungeon to explore. From here we grab packages of various shapes, sizes and weights, and head out to make our deliveries.
The challenges and laughs come from the silly tools, physics-based mechanics, and absolute horrors that dwell in the dungeons. These range from environmental obstacles, perils, and traps, to the bloodthirsty living terrors that patrol the maze-like corridors. There are monstrous worms, haunted totems, spike pits, exploding skulls, a terrifying Krampus… It’s all quite scary, but retains a special comic softness that horror games are often lacking.
You'll carry your chosen parcel to a doorstep, drop it on the mat, and ring the doorbell to complete the delivery. Sometimes this goes smoothly, and sometimes it doesn't, but each successful delivery awards gold. Earn enough gold to fill the quota within three days, and you'll proceed to the next biome/dungeon. But fail, and the corporation has no use for you. You know what that means.

It’s a brilliant premise that will feel familiar to those who have played games like Lethal Company, and like that silly/scary game, Deadly Delivery delivers both constant tension and foolish slapstick.
Controls and Polish
Deadly Delivery is a mechanically solid game. Grabbing, throwing, and manipulating objects feels direct and precise, and everything in-game is weighted and balanced with a logical physics engine. The tactility of toggling a flashlight or walkie-talkie, or fending off a monster, or climbing hand over hand up the rungs of a ladder, all feels great. Movement is tight and responsive, walk/run speeds are well-modulated, and plenty of options exist for comfort, view, and control.
The gameplay loop feels balanced and intelligently implemented. The learning curve is gradual and progression feels linear. All told, it’s a thoughtfully designed game.
Style and Atmosphere
Deadly Delivery’s visuals are similarly polished. The cel-shaded, comic-book graphics give the fantasy world a cartoony yet rich personality. Environments, characters, and objects look great at any distance, but up close they really shine with delightful detail.
Our home base and the biomes’ dungeons are all lovingly crafted. While the pre-game meeting rooms feel warm and safe, with comically sarcastic corporate messaging plastered on every wall, the dungeons and caves feel claustrophobic and frightful by contrast. Visibility in these spaces is limited, unless we’re carrying a flashlight or huddled by a fire, which helps to ground us in the experience and hone our attention. This makes the waiting terrors even more startling.
But you won't need to have your cardiologist on standby. The game is certainly scary and startling, as mentioned, but we need to remember context. This isn't a horror game in the hardcore sense. Its main objective is to make you laugh while you scream, and players expecting the blood-chilling experience of something like Resident Evil or The Exorcist may come away disappointed.

Comfort
Deadly Delivery features plenty of comfort customization including:
Smooth turning and snap turning options with adjustable turn speed and vignetting, plus a sitting and standing option with adjustable height offset.
Social Dynamics
Deadly Delivery is absolutely best as a co-op experience, which is both a blessing and a curse. For those gamers with a solid roster of friends able and willing to plumb the mines, nothing but joy awaits. For those who find it tough to get friends together for a round of VR, and who may not want to join strangers in a public lobby (a viable option here), Deadly Delivery will be dead on arrival.
For those with a squad on call, however, we're more golden than the game's Fortnite-riffing unlockable banana suit. Teamwork makes the dream work, and Deadly Delivery does a fabulous job encouraging multiplayer antics. Anyone can do anything anytime, which is funny and chaotic, but there's also enough intelligent design here to ensure that strategy actually matters. The most successful teams will work together to bring the most useful tools, carry the most expensive packages, and deliver the goods in the safest way. There’s light combat, and teams who fight together will do better, too.
If the game has a problem, it’s that the single-player experience is never going to be as fun as multiplayer. If you don’t have friends who play the game and you’re averse to gaming with strangers, Deadly Delivery will lose a lot of its charm.

Deadly Delivery - Final Verdict
Deadly Delivery is a clever, effective, and genuinely funny VR co-op that nails the feel of physical play in a spooky, comic world. Its controls and polish make the mechanical side of things feel just right, while its blend of fearful atmosphere and inherent silliness leads to sessions equally packed with legitimate screams and belly laughs.
Deadly Delivery is not designed for solo sessions played alone, and those looking for a pure horror experience may be let down by the game's silliness. But for co-op gamers and those who enjoy their jump-scares served with a side of slapstick, Deadly Delivery delivers.

Meta is rolling out the ability to link your account to Discord to share what Quest app or Horizon World you're currently in.
At Connect 2025, Meta announced that Discord was coming to Quest in 2026, including the ability to share your status to show friends what you're playing.
The Discord app for Quest is still set for 2026, so isn't here yet. But what is now "rolling out", seemingly ahead of schedule, is the status sharing feature.
You can set it up on the web in the App Connections section of the Meta Accounts Center on the web, or in the mobile app at Accounts Center --> Your information and permissions --> App connections.
If you don't see Discord listed yet, it means it hasn't rolled out to your account yet, so you need to check again at a later date.
Meta says that the rollout is "gradual" in case there are any issues or bugs.
Note that for the app or world you're in to show up you'll need to have your Horizon Active Status set to Online or Joinable, and you can thus hide your current activity by switching to Offline.
Tracked: Shoot to Survive now lets you continue exploring after completing the story.
Following last month's release on Quest 3 and 3S, Incuvo has continued patching its latest survival adventure Tracked: Shoot to Survive. The first patch introduced visual upgrades, bug fixes and a new sleeping feature, and its second post-launch update, Patch 1.2.0, is now live. This lets you continue playing and exploring after rolling credits, spawning you back at your father's cabin.
Patch 1.2.0 for TRACKED is live! 🔥 Continue exploring after the story, never lose key items again, enjoy better nights, smoother crafting, a sharper knife… and tons of fixes across the whole game!
Other changes largely focus on UX improvements and further bug fixes, such as changes to prevent you from losing critical narrative items. Knife damage has been buffed, new markers on the Fast Travel boards show currently active quest locations, missing sound effects have been fixed, and autosaves “should no longer occur at inopportune moments.” You can read the full patch notes here.
It's welcome news for Incuvo's latest VR game, as we came away with mixed impressions during our 3/5-star review. While we believe Tracked: Shoot to Survive offers an engaging survival adventure and praised its VR-focused crafting mechanics, we criticized its launch build for issues with its presentation, enemy AI, and performance.
Tracked: Shoot to Survive is available on Quest 3 and 3S.

Legendary Tales gets its first DLC with 'Dawn of History' next year on PC VR and PlayStation VR2.
Developed by Urban Wolf Games, Legendary Tales is a dark fantasy RPG that received its full release in February 2024. Featuring physics-based combat with a quest-driven storyline, this comes with skill trees, explorable dungeons, crafting and more. Now, nearly two years after its full launch, it's lifted the curtain on its first DLC expansion.
Detailing the news on Steam, Urban Wolf Games states the DLC's name signifies a new beginning and marks “a new chapter” for Legendary Tales, also offering a nod to the game's ending song. Its content preview offered a look at three currently unnamed maps and three additional enemies: Fallen Warrior, Nangdo, and Succubus.
New item categories were also highlighted, with rings and two new types of weapons: Book and Staff. This upcoming DLC will also introduce five new legendary weapons, new 'Seal' features, and a quick slot for potions. Additional passive skills will be added, like the ability to reduce your casting time when using a different spell to the previous one.
To coincide with this announcement, Urban Wolf Games also announced that Legendary Tales has received a price reduction on both PlayStation VR2 and Steam. While it was previously available for $54.99, that's now been permanently reduced to $39.99.
Legendary Tales is out now on PS VR2 and Steam, and Dawn of History reaches both platforms in Q1 2026.
Having a retro PC is awesome, because it lets you experience classic games as they were intended to be, on the original hardware. Maintaining one is a pain, though; beyond all the issues with using 25-plus-year-old hardware, you've also got to find space for it. What if you could just slap a Voodoo 2 into your current desktop and play some
XPG has announced the launch of its latest memory series, the Armax DDR5. Designed with a specific aesthetic in mind, the new modules draw inspiration from the silhouette of stealth fighter jets, offering a rugged look paired with speeds of up to 6400MT/s.
Adata XPG Armax's design focus is compatibility. With a heat spreader height of just 39.5mm, the modules are positioned as an ideal solution for Small Form Factor (SFF) builds where clearance for CPU coolers and cables can be tight. The modules will be available in a variety of single and dual-module configurations.
Under the hood, the series targets the current performance sweet spot, with frequencies ranging from 6000MT/s to 6400MT/s and timings as low as CL30-40-40. For easy overclocking, both Intel XMP 3.0 and AMD EXPO profiles are supported out of the box.
Visually, the modules feature a V-shaped top light bar intended to create a dynamic flow effect. The Armax RGB DDR5 variant supports customisation via XPG Prime and most motherboard RGB software, while a non-RGB version is available for those preferring a more understated build.
The XPG Armax DDR5 series is available now through global retailers and is backed by a limited lifetime warranty. However, due to the current state of the memory market, you might be better off waiting for it to come down a bit.
KitGuru says: Do you like the looks of these new Armax DDR5 modules?
Nvidia is ending the year off strong with the announcement that 30 more titles will be joining the GeForce Now library this month. On top of that, a new Game Ready driver has rolled out for Nvidia graphics card owners.
The new Game Ready driver is available to download now and includes some new optimisations for the upcoming Battlefield 6: Winter Offensive update. This driver update is also recommended for players of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 as it contains improved fidelity for DLSS Ray Reconstruction.
On top of that, Nvidia is also adding support for the top played classic, 32-bit GPU-accelerated PhysX games on GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs. GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs launched at the beginning of the year, alongside the phasing out of 32-bit support for CUDA. This meant that PhysX effects in a number of older, yet beloved games were not GPU-accelerated on GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs. With the launch of NVIDIA’s new driver today, that problem is solved for a number of top-played titles including the likes of Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, Batman Arkham City, Borderlands 2, Metro 2033 & Last Light, Mirror's Edge and more.
As for this week's GeForce Now updates, there are ten new games joining the service today, including:
MARVEL Cosmic Invasion (New release on Steam and Xbox, available on Game Pass, Dec. 1)
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II (New release on Ubisoft, Dec. 2)
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III (New release on Ubisoft, Dec. 2)
Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy (New release on Ubisoft, Dec. 2)
XOCIETY (New release on Epic Games Store, Dec. 2)
Spyro Reignited Trilogy (New release on Ubisoft, Dec. 2)
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage (New release on Xbox, available on Game Pass, Dec. 2)
OCTOPATH TRAVELER 0 (New release on Steam, available Dec. 4)
ROUTINE (New release on Steam and Xbox, available on Game Pass, Dec. 4)
MIMESIS (Steam)
There will be 20 other titles joining the library over the next few weeks, although some of these are repeats, with the new support coming in the form of an additional storefront. For instance, Arc Raiders is already available on GeForce Now if you own it on Steam, but soon those who own the title on Epic Games Store will also be able to access it via Nvidia's cloud gaming service.

ENERMAX has introduced its new flagship power supply, the PlatimaxII 1200DF, a 1200W ATX 3.1 unit that emphasises high efficiency with its 80 PLUS Platinum and Cybenetics Platinum certifications.
The PlatimaxII 1200DF is fully compliant with Intel’s ATX 3.1 specification and includes a native 12V-2×6 cable capable of delivering up to 600W to the GPU. This ensures compatibility with current and future high-end graphics cards. Designed to withstand up to 235% power excursion, the unit maintains stability during sudden spikes and relies on 100% Japanese capacitors for long-term reliability and precise voltage regulation under heavy workloads.
Cooling is handled by a 135mm fan equipped with ENERMAX’s patented Dust-Free Rotation technology, which helps reduce dust buildup and extend lifespan. The fan profile is tuned for quiet operation, earning a Cybenetics LAMBDA A acoustic rating, which means it operates at less than 25dB. Thermal management is balanced to keep noise levels low while maintaining efficient cooling.
Additional features include certification for operation at altitudes up to 5,000 meters, highlighting its durability in varied environments. The PlatimaxII 1200DF is available in black and white finishes and comes backed by a 13-year warranty, underscoring its positioning as a long-term solution for enthusiasts, gamers, and professionals building high-performance systems.
The Enermax PlatimaxII 1200DF will be available in both black and white colour options, priced at $229.99 and $239.99 respectively.

Nvidia seems to have quietly begun retiring its older Maxwell and Pascal architectures, a move signalled by the release of its latest Linux driver. The new 590 driver branch, currently available in beta as version 590.44.01, appears to have dropped support for the GeForce GTX 900 and GTX 10 series GPUs, confirming earlier reports that these cards are now entering legacy status.
Spotted by VideoCardz, the official release notes state that the 580.xx driver series is the final branch to offer full “Game Ready” support for Maxwell and Pascal. So, if you have such a graphics card running on a Linux-based system, there's a chance you may face issues with future game releases.
This transition places the GTX 900, GTX 10, and the few consumer discrete Volta cards into maintenance mode. Owners of these GPUs will no longer receive day-zero game optimisations or performance enhancements. Instead, support will be limited to quarterly security patches to address critical vulnerabilities. For gamers still holding onto these graphics cards, this effectively signals the end of the road for new driver features.
KitGuru says: Do you own an Nvidia GTX 900 or 10 series graphics card? Are you planning to upgrade now that driver support is coming to an end?

NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang made his debut on the latest episode of The Joe Rogan Experience last evening, sitting down for over two hours with the host of America's most popular podcast. During the episode, the two cover a fairly wide variety of topics with a focus on technology and governance, but especially focused on NVIDIA itself and ongoing
Meta Reality Labs is facing up to 30% budget cuts, Bloomberg reports, higher than the 10% Mark Zuckerberg normally asks for during budget cycles.
Reality Labs, if you're unaware, is the division of Meta behind its Quest headsets, Horizon software, smart glasses, and sEMG wristband, as well as researching future technologies such as Codec Avatars and true AR glasses.
Since Meta started breaking out the financial results of Reality Labs in its earnings calls in Q4 2020, it's been public knowledge that the division spends significantly more than it brings in, resulting in a financial "loss" that has been the fuel for countless clickbait articles each quarter.
But while describing this as a "loss" is technically correct in an accounting sense, much of it would be more accurately described as long-term investment. XR headsets like Quest are still a relatively early technology. Further, as of 2022 more than 50% of Reality Labs spending was on the research and development of AR glasses, and the company has yet to even launch a true AR glasses device.
Still, Meta is a business, and at some point, it wants Reality Labs to be profitable, a goal that will involve spending less, transitioning from a bloated research and development group to a viable business.
In July 2024, The Information reported that Reality Labs was told to cut spending by 20% by 2026. But the first three quarters of 2025 have seen Reality Labs spend roughly the same as it did in 2024.
Bloomberg's new report comes as Meta is planning its budget for next year. According to the report, executives are "considering" a cut "as high as 30%" for Reality Labs, with associated layoffs that would arrive as early as January.
Proposed cuts would primarily target VR and Horizon Worlds, according to the report, at a time when Meta is hoping to scale up its smart glasses ambitions.
The company, with its partner EssilorLuxottica, is still selling many of its smart glasses models as fast as it can make them. Simultaneously, it has seen Quest headset sales decline in 2025 compared to 2024, with Quest 3S proving only a hit during the holidays, not the rest of the year.
This combination of significant success in the smart glasses space and relative failure in growing its VR headset business is likely the driver of the company's decision to focus cuts on the latter, and it will be paying close attention to the sales of its next headset to decide how to invest through the rest of the decade.
