    Epic says its new Epic Games Launcher preview was vibe coded with AI

    Epic Games released a preview of its new Epic Games Launcher and said it was vibe coded with AI because building it the traditional way is too hard. Epic says the launcher has an average cold start of 5.47 seconds, 46% faster than Steam, with snappier navigation and less background load, though the first release is light on features. Epic detailed launcher changes at Unreal Fest in June and claimed version 2 would have a cold start five times faster on average, without mentioning AI at the time.

    Hogwarts Legacy's DLSS 5 update keeps the AI glow-up away from characters

    Hogwarts Legacy is getting its DLSS 5 update on November 5, and Nvidia's before/after images show the effect is almost entirely limited to environmental lighting and materials, leaving character features unchanged. The feature drew criticism when it was revealed in March for how it altered character models, and the games shown then, including Resident Evil Requiem, had not released DLSS 5 updates until now. The new DLSS 5 model reportedly halves the GPU hit and cuts 4K VRAM usage by 20%, with the performance cost in NBA2K27 dropping from 60% to 30%.

    Arc Raiders' PvE test is live, and the author calls it a good reason to jump back in

    Arc Raiders' PvE test is now live, after Embark teased a temporary PvE toggle because a large part of its audience favoured a more passive approach. In the author's hands-on, Pendola Pass felt freer to explore and fight arcs without fearing other players, and nearby raiders helped when things went wrong. The author plans to play almost exclusively this mode while it lasts.
