There are plenty of open world games where money doesn't matter much, but that is not the case with Crimson Desert. Since the only way to heal is through food, and it's easier to purchase food than cook it constantly, you want to have enough Silver to afford food in large quantities.

A tragic incident has shaken the Pokmon fan community on Thursday, March 26, 2026.

In case it wasn't already clear, Nvidia DLSS 5 has been a bit divisive since Nvidia demoed it last week at GTC. The new AI-based real-time neural renderer that 'enhances' the look of your games through generative AI has caught the ire of many gamers, developers, and other industry folk, and the latest to add to the pile-on are David Szymanski and Dave Oshry, developer of Dusk and CEO of its publisher, New Blood Interactive, respectively. Nvidia has been quick to try and temper criticism, with its CEO Jensen Huang saying much of the DLSS 5 criticism is completely wrong and insisting that suggestions DLSS 5 is just a 2D AI filter are misguided too. However, clearly plenty of folk remain unconvinced.

Epic Games is continuing its tradition of giving away freebies to those who pass by its store, like a wandering merchant with no real concept of value. Although this week's offerings might have the most generic titles you've ever heard, there's plenty more to Havendock and Hyper Echelon than first meets the eye.

Valve has just released SteamOS 3.8.0 Preview: Second Clutch, the latest preview version of the operating system used on its Steam Decks and which will be running on the upcoming Steam Machine. Along with a host of new features and bug fixes for existing hardware, the new release also includes "Initial support for upcoming Steam Machine hardware." We of course already know the Steam Machine specs, so the hardware reveal isn't a revelation, but it's yet another sign of how Valve remains committed to releasing its highly anticipated desktop gaming companion cube this year.

Nvidia DLSS 5 really is as 'simple' as some feared, according to the company's latest info. After being asked to confirm if the new AI image quality-enhancing technology takes into account 3D geometry and other underlying game engine data, the world's most valuable company admitted that the only input data the new DLSS 5 receives is the final rendered frames from the game and motion vectors that inform the algorithm of the direction the player and objects in the scene are moving. The reason this matters is that a lot of the criticism of the technology so far has been around how its output has an 'AI filter' look to it that is reminiscent of countless other beautification and novelty image manipulation tools. This not only creates a look that can seem a bit off, but many reactions have expressed concern that it betrays the underlying artistic intent of the game - essentially, it's just DLSS 5 making up stuff. However, if Nvidia's new technology had been shown to be using deeper in-game assets, it could be argued it's more sophisticated and artistically grounded than just another AI filter.

How do you unlock the Ancient Sealed Gate? The Skybridge throws interesting challenges at you and awards invaluable fast-travel points as you go - not to mention the fact that you get to skydive to your intended destination. There is one island that forces you back down to earth, however, to solve a fiendish puzzle. If you're trying to unlock as many fast travel points as you can, there aren't many better ways of doing it than traversing the Skybridge. These puzzles can be tough, but with a skill point on offer as well as a convenient way of getting around Pywel, it's a nice detour if you're having trouble taking down one of the many bosses - we're looking at you, Reed Devil. Here's how to solve one of the most difficult puzzles, the Ancient Sealed Gate.

How do you craft the Cloudcart? Getting around in Crimson Desert is half of the fun, really. The environments are beautiful, and it's a genuine pleasure to take in the sights as you attempt to accomplish whatever mission you're on at the time. There does come a point when traipsing around on the ground becomes tiresome - however, there is another way. Dragons are all well and good, but we all know technology is where it's at, and there isn't much more advanced than a hot air balloon in Crimson Desert. You, too, can have your very own hot air balloon - a Cloudcart - but you'll have to put a bit of work in first, namely exploring and solving that Glenbright Manor puzzle.
