Nvidia’s GeForce Now Twitter account said the service and other cloud gaming providers would “stand to gain an even deeper catalog of games” if the deal is allowed to go through. The company added, “We see this as a benefit to cloud gaming and hope for a positive resolution.” Come from Sports betting site VPbet
Microsoft recently signed a 10-year deal with Nvidia to bring Call of Duty games and other Activision Blizzard titles to GeForce Now if the deal goes through. GeForce Now allows subscribers to stream games to their machines without the need for powerful local hardware. Members can connect their Steam, Ubisoft, EA, and Epic Games accounts and stream games they own. New titles are added to the library–which alread…

British bookmaking giant Betfred has reportedly spent an unspecified amount of cash so as to purchase a majority shareholding in South African counterpart LottoStar Proprietary Limited.
According to a Friday report from a source, the Warrington-headquartered operator is already responsible for 53 retail wagering shops in South Africa and spent some $8.7 million in June of last year so as to acquire the online sportsbetting domain at BettingWorld.co.za after previous owner Phumelela Gaming and Leisure Limited filed for bankruptcy protections.
Expanding enterprise:
Established in 1967 by English entrepreneur Fred Done, Betfred currently operates well over 1,500 retail betting shops spread across the United Kingdom while its Petfre (Gibraltar) Limited subordinate is reportedly responsible for the online sportsbetting domain at Betfred.com. The operator purportedly also recently launched into Spain’s growing iGaming market while entering the embryonic sports wagering…

Microsoft’s $7.5 billion acquisition of ZeniMax (and its subsidiaries at Bethesda) has now been completed, which means ZeniMax’s board of directors has been dissolved.
Pete Hines, the senior vice president of global marketing and communications at Bethesda, told GameSpot in an email, “The prior ZeniMax Media Board of Directors has been dissolved.”
This is not an unusual or troubling development but instead a standard practice for an acquisition like this.
ZeniMax’s board was composed of a variety of executives and celebrities from multiple industries, including Pirates of the Caribbean producer Jerry Bruckheimer, big-name entertainment attorney Ernest Del, former MLB superstar Cal Ripken Jr., former CBS CEO Leslie Moonves, and former MGM CEO Harry Sloan. Private equity executive Michael Dominguez was also on the board. Former US President Trump’s brother, Robert Trump, sat on the board until his passing in 2020.
Hines previously spoke to GameSpot about the im…
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Jiukoum Shrine, Built For Rails, might frustrate you to no end. Thankfully, there are a few ways to circumvent the mechanics. Here’s our guide to help you complete the Jiukoum Shrine’s Built For Rails puzzle in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
How to solve the Jiukoum Shrine’s Built For Rails puzzle in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Jiukoum Shrine can be found just southeast of the Popla Foothills Skyview Tower. From the tower, use the launch pad and glide southeast until you see it on a ridge.
The first two puzzle sections won’t likely cause any issues. The first puzzle simply has you riding a metal plate across the rails. For the second part, you’ll want to create something that looks like a desk. The additional segments below it will prevent it from sliding off (seen in the image below).
Alternatively, you could just Shield Surf. This is done by equipping a shield …

'Emily in Paris' Season 4 Fashion: Lily Collins & Ashley Park Dish on Their Stylish New Looks!
Turns out Sandra Bullock may, in fact, be Miss Congeniality in real life.
Lily Collins recently reflected on her first movie role in The Blind Side and she gushed over how Sandra was an inspiration to her on set, both in and out of character.
“It’s possible to be at this point in your career and have done what you’ve done and still be the kindest, most kickass, badass female as well?” Lily told Sky News in an interview published Aug. 17. “Oh, it’s possible! Cool.”
And Sandra—who won an Oscar for the 2009 film—took her role as Lily’s onscreen mother very seriously.
"I feel very, very lucky that when I first started out, in my first film, I was mothered by Sandra Bullock,” the Emily in Paris star—who played the eldest daughter of Sandra and Tim McGraw…
Here at PC Gamer I think it fair to say that we really, really didn’t like the Borderlands movie, calling it ‘an irredeemable mess’ that had us ‘longing for 1993’s Super Mario Bros’ film. Yes, it really is that bad. In fact, the Borderlands movie is so bad that someone has made a 3-minute song just from the bad reviews. Needless to say, the film, which reportedly cost $120 million to make, has been a box office megaflop, recouping so far just $25 million worldwide.
However, just when it looked like another video game movie adaptation was about to take the top spot for biggest flop of the year, as reported by Variety the reboot of gothic superhero film The Crow has somehow gone and outflopped Borderlands, generating just $4.6 million over its opening weekend on a budget of $50 million. In contrast, the Borderlands movie raked in $8.6 million over its opening weekend.
The reaction to The Crow reboot’s release has been supremely negative among both critics and the …
Patch 6 of Baldur’s Gate 3 is releasing sometime this week—though if you asked the community around 24-48 hours ago, they’d say it’s slated for Valentine’s Day. Those of you with an eye on your calendar may notice that date is long-gone, with nary a patch note to be spied.
That’s because Larian Studios never actually confirmed the date. Instead, the community simply hallucinated one based on what I can only describe as vibes. Now in fairness, the Baldur’s Gate 3 Twitter account did tease us with the phrase “love is in the air in Faerûn”, but still.
The great wheel of conspiracy was grinding a full day before that, however, when one dyingome on Twitter made a bold prediction that Patch 6 would hit on February 14. Larian Studios would later reply with a well-placed picture of beloved children’s television mascot (and meme icon) Pingu the Penguin.
Pingu’s second appearance occurs in a reply to SergeantDaynes, with Larian making use of a gi…

Cities: Skylines 2 didn’t have a great start last year. When it launched in October, the sequel to the best city builder around garnered a mountain of criticism thanks to its wonky simulation and significant performance issues. There were a plethora of great ideas buried inside it, but it definitely didn’t put its best foot forward. Improvements have been made since then, but this week’s launch of the first bit of post-launch DLC, Beach Properties, has just riled players up again.
Beach Properties is a weird DLC to lead with. It’s an asset pack, so it doesn’t introduce any new features, instead throwing a waterfront zone, a bunch of new growable buildings, six signature buildings and, erm, four trees into the mix. Despite the name, it doesn’t actually include beaches, and the assets have been criticised for mostly being a bunch of regular houses.
Granted, at $10/£8.49, this was not going to be a beefy expansion. And it’s probably better for Colossal Order to …
The subject of one big change is Scratch, a dog (an actual dog, not a disguised demon from the Nine Hells) who can be recruited into your party as a loyal and trustworthy pet. You can pet Scratch and play fetch with him, and following the update he’ll also be able to sniff out good spots to dig for treasure himself, which will hopefully lead him to discover more and better things to bring to you.
The update also fixes a problem with spell slots that was preventing multiclassed players from leveling up, a cross-save issue that was causing games to become stuck while syncing, a crash that could occur “when selecting a summon without a hotbar while a deck in the hotbar was maximised” (I’m guessing that one didn’t affect a whole lot of people), and another “edge case issue” that was preventing people from taking a Long Rest.
As with the previous hotfix, this one contains a number of spoilers, which are covered up in the full patch notes on Steam, and let me emphasize even mo…
If there’s one thing Final Fantasy 14: Endwalker will be remembered for, it won’t be its excellent conclusion to a decade-long story. Nor popularity so immense that Square Enix pulled the game from sale for six entire weeks to save the already-buckling servers from folding entirely. No, it will be remembered for its beautiful low-poly grapes that were so rudely “fixed” after they took Eorzea by storm.
Memes around the grapes have persisted 18 months after the expansion’s release, and it even caused director/producer Naoki Yoshida to go and quality check the grapes in Final Fantasy 16 to make sure they were up to snuff. Long may the low-poly grapes live on, especially now Square Enix is immortalising them as a physical goodie for the upcoming Final Fantasy 14 Fan Festival in Las Vegas.
Those who are attending the festival will be privy to some lovely Final Fantasy 14-themed gifts. There’s a 10th-anniversary crossbody bag, an adorable carrot-shaped pen topped with a …
Samtsirhc Yrrem! As they say during the festive season in Gloomwood’s Mirror Realm. Actually, I imagine they say things like “What was that?” followed by “Argh!” much as they do in regular Gloomwood. What is the Mirror Realm, you ask? Why, it’s part of Gloomwood’s just arrived Christmas update, which adds bugfixes, new areas, and a whole host of festive doohickies alongside mysterious alternate dimensions.
If I seem evasive about the true nature of the Mirror Realm, that’s because it isn’t entirely clear what it is. Publisher New Blood Interactive is being decidedly cryptic about the whole affair. On the website formerly known as Twitter, New Blood posted a video of Gloomwood’s Doctor stepping into a fetching magenta portal, writing “The Mirror Realm of Gloomwood is now open to you, Doctor! Come and go as you please, discover inexplicable ways back to areas you’ve previously been, and maybe even a new surprises!”
It sounds like some kind of portal-y, fast-travel-y system…
