There’s not much more to say on the 3m players front, which Futurlab announced on Twitter earlier today, other than to say its success is thoroughly well-deserved. Eurgamer’s Robert Purchese - who wrote about the serene pleasures of PowerWash Simulator’s sedate busywork in July - is far from the only member of the editorial team to have fallen in love with its daffy charms and compulsive rhythms. And if, like me, you’ve reached the end of PowerWash Simulator’s gloriously ludicrous campaign and urgently require more things to blast back into the realms of cleanliness, the good news is FuturLab is currently working on new additions - with the developer currently taking suggestions for what should come next....

RPCS3 has five tiers in its compatibility list, with ‘Playable’ the only tier which denotes a game that runs and performs as expected....

Whilst keen to stress that the mobile devices in “this test do not represent the final list of devices for launch” and that “content and quality of the game are still a work-in-progress”, the developer/publisher says a closed beta will go live tomorrow, 12th September, in select countries: United States, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, the Philippines, Singapore, and India.

The investigation was commissioned by Riot in response to a lawsuit by former Riot executive assistant Sharon O’Donnell, filed in January, which accused Laurent of sexual harassment, gender discrimination and wrongful termination. Outside law firm Seyfarth Shaw LLP carried out the investigation, then gave its results to the Special Committee of Riot’s Board of Directors (a committee of directors created in 2018 to “oversee the company’s progress in diversity and inclusion” following a Kotaku exposé on widespread sexism at the company)....

Digital Foundry called the Arctis 7P+ the best wireless gaming headset thanks to its comfortable design, impressive durability and excellent sound quality. The previous Arctis 7P offers similar performance and design for less, but is harder to find now and doesn’t have as good battery life or USB-C charging like the 7P+.

Whether it’s getting the upper hand by hearing everything happening around the map in competitive games like CS:GO and Valorant, or immersing yourself in rich and vibrant open-world RPGs like Horizon: Forbidden West or Elden Ring....
