Even though companies like Microsoft are asking employees to return to the office, these tools are still becoming more and more popular. Microsoft plans to require all employees who live within 50 miles of a Microsoft office to work on-site at least three days a week starting next month.
As a researcher following the launch of Final Fantasy 7 Remake on Xbox, I’m really seeing some impressive results. Just within the first week, it’s climbed to become the ninth highest-grossing game on the Xbox US store. Our Executive Editor, Jez Corden, has been playing it and confirms he’s thoroughly enjoying the experience.
The game has become incredibly popular and profitable, but significant updates are surprisingly infrequent. A good example is the major visual upgrade: it was first announced in 2019, but didn’t come to consoles until six years later. By that point, it had even been renamed and felt like a completely new feature. Considering how many people play this game, improvements happen at a very slow pace.
Keep in mind this is a preview version, so some things might be different when it’s officially released. However, even now, it’s a noticeable upgrade from the current website, with a better look and a more intuitive layout, which is a positive sign.
The initial announcement was a major setback for Highguard and Wildlight. The game struggled after launch, but a recent re-reveal has helped clarify what it offers. It’s a unique hero shooter that combines the scavenging of battle royale games with the base-building and raiding elements of survival games, setting it apart from the competition.
The recent KB5074109 update is causing problems for users with NVIDIA graphics cards, including black screens, slowdowns, and app crashes. Some people are even experiencing boot failures or difficulties removing the update. This adds to existing concerns about the update being released with multiple bugs.
As a big tech fan, I was so excited to see the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x (Gen 9) is on sale! We gave this laptop a really great review, and it’s seriously powerful, looks amazing, and the battery lasts forever. Best Buy has it right now for just $849.99 – that’s a huge $450 off the original price of $1,299.99! If you’re like me and always need a reliable machine to get things done, this deal is a lifesaver.
Following the negative reaction to its debut at last year’s Game Awards, Highguard needed to make a strong impression. Many anticipated a large marketing campaign to revitalize interest in the game after its initial reveal.
Highguard is a team-based PvP game where three teams of three players fight it out. It combines skill-based combat with the excitement of scavenging for gear, and features base raiding elements similar to popular survival games. Because it’s free to play, many players are giving it a try.
