The second of two Oblivion Remastered updates Bethesda told us all they had up their buggy sleeves arrives in Steam Beta later today, July 9th. This one’s update 1.2, and it’s headlined by the sorts of performance improvements folks have been begging for, plus some difficulty setting tweaks.

In case you missed it, The Elder Scrolls 4.something’s last update did many things, but by fair the most noteworthy was stopping a vampire from succumbing to the urge all men get. That being the urge to become bald so you can save like £10 a year by no longer buying shampoo.

Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Remake chatter has started reverberating around the decks of the internet again recently, like a mighty sea shanty that Ubisoft won’t say much about.

With folks keener for new info than they are booty, an update to the original Black Flag’s Steam backend is the latest thing to fan the Remake speculation flames, but before you get excited about it, it’s worth bearing in mind that a bunch of other Assassin’s Creed games got similar tweaks yesterday.

MDK was a 1997 shooter in which you played a pointy headed janitor named Kurt Hectic with a parachute suit and a gun for an arm, the best thing about it being its Giger-ish sniper mode interface. MDK is also Mortality Decomp. Killers – a sour lollipop puke hued Post Void-like with Hotline Miami‘s lethality and a very good spinny knifey move. It’s completely free on Steam, although you can pick up the soundtrack for a few quid if you fancy supporting it. After each level, your score breakdown includes how many doors you’ve “killed”. Not since my beloved Mullet Mad Jack has a game facilitated such reckless hinge hatred.

The RTX 5060 Ti is easily one of the standout GPUs from Nvidia’s troubled Blackwell generation. Stick with the 16GB edition (rather than the afterthought 8GB) and it’ll comfortably handle high quality settings on 1080p and 1440p, helped along by DLSS 4 and, if you fancy it, Multi Frame Generation. It also accounted for many of the better-priced RTX 50 graphics cards at launch, and as part of Amazon Prime Day, we’re finally starting to see some further cost cutting – including to one model at Amazon UK that’s dropped below £400.
