Ever since its rocky launch, Cyberpunk 2077 has been a game defined by its post-release support. First, developer CD Project Red fixed bugs, then its graphics were cleaned up, and then Phantom Liberty and a massive update redefined the experience, reworking major mechanics and progression systems. Over five years later, it’s still getting better, as today’s free update upgrades the game’s visuals on PS5 Pro systems. Check out the overview trailer below. In addition to advanced ray tracing features and a new cap of 90 frames per second (on VRR-enabled displays), Cyberpunk 2077 is getting PSSR support, allowing the PS5 Pro…

Microsoft Azure is refusing capacity to cloud customers in the company’s UK South (UKS) region, with issues around the availability of Azure virtual machines (VMs) – especially in AMD-based compute, those aimed at HPC workloads and graphics processing unit (GPU)-equipped services. That’s according to comments made to Computer Weekly and in message board threads on Reddit, where many blame Microsoft’s drive to roll out datacentre resource-hungry Copilot AI to the detriment of existing customer requirements. One commenter said: “It’s well known to be terrible and apparently is waiting for more capacity to come online at the end of the…

The free No Man’s Sky updates are still flowing. With the latest one, dubbed Xeno Arena, Hello Games has added a completely original feature.

They can earn experience that allows them…

Image: Ed Hardie/Unsplash A disgruntled security researcher has made good on a threat. A security researcher going by the aliases Chaotic Eclipse and Nightmare-Eclipse published exploit code for a Windows privilege escalation vulnerability. The flaw, dubbed BlueHammer, has no official patch from Microsoft, making it a zero-day vulnerability. “I was not bluffing Microsoft and I’m doing it again,” Chaotic Eclipse wrote in a post accompanying the release. “Unlike previous times, I’m not explaining how this works, yall geniuses can figure it out. Also, huge thanks to MSRC leadership for making this possible.” The MSRC is Microsoft’s Security Response Center, the…

Image: Generated via Google’s Nano Banana Cybercriminals have rolled out a new variant of traffic-violation scams, replacing suspicious links with QR codes to trick victims into handing over sensitive data. According to BleepingComputer, scammers are sending fake “Notice of Default” messages that appear to come from US state courts. These messages pressure recipients to act quickly by prompting them to scan a QR code to resolve an alleged violation. This campaign builds on earlier toll and parking ticket scams, but with a more deceptive delivery method. Instead of clickable links, victims now receive an image of an official-looking notice containing…

Keir Starmer was asked to “take a closer look” at the Post Office’s prosecution practices in 2011 in his role as director of public prosecutions (DPP), but his office told the person firing the warning to direct concerns to the government. Prime minister Starmer, who was DPP from 2013 to 2018, was questioned about his knowledge of Post Office prosecutions following ITV’s dramatisation of the Post Office scandal in January 2024. The then leader of the opposition told the BBC: “I didn’t see these particular cases. I don’t even know yet what they were about, whether they come within…

I’ve played a couple of hours of Forza Horizon 6, and so far I’ve enjoyed it in much the same way as its predecessor: by exploring and taking in the sumptuous world Playground Games has crafted. The preview build I played on my Xbox Series X was limited in terms of available activities — it was basically the game’s prologue — but I was able to explore almost all of the open world.The on-rails intro takes you through some of the Japanese countryside and past landmarks like Tokyo Tower and Shibuya Crossing on the way to a race through the…
