Genshin Impact developer Hoyoverse has just revealed half an hour of gameplay of Varsapura, a new open-world game with shades of Control and LA Noire. The studio has really been branching out in all directions lately, between the creature-collecting Honkai: Nexus Anima and Stardew rival Petit Planet, but Varsapura is already looking the most interesting to me. Set in what appears to be modern-day Singapore with a mixture of paranormal investigation, dialogue choices, stealth sequences, and combat that takes notes from Zenless Zone Zero against a shadowy foe powered by the 'Mindrot,' it's already grabbed my attention.Read the full story on PCGamesN: Genshin Impact's flashy combat and Control's paranormal vibes collide in a new Hoyoverse game, and I'm immediately hooked

If, in the past year, you've been in the market for a top-tier CPU, there has only been one clear choice: the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D. It is, across the board, the fastest gaming CPU around. However, with that supremacy comes a high price, with the chip selling for $479 - nearly 50% more than the price of some of AMD's other 8-core Zen 5 CPUs. Thankfully, though, just as RAM and graphics card prices are creeping upwards, AMD has thrown us PC gamers a bone and knocked $30 off the price of its flagship chip, at least at some retailers. Ok, so a $30 reduction on the best gaming CPU only amounts to a 6% saving on AMD's finest, but considering just how doggedly this chip has stayed at its original price - or had its price pushed above MSRP - it's a welcome move in the right direction. Buyers in the UK and other regions have seen more regular sub-MSRP prices on this chip for a while, but in the US, this is one of the few times we've seen such a drop.Read the full story on PCGamesN: The AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D's price finally drops, making this top-tier CPU a bit more affordable

While the Xbox Ally X didn't overly impress with its Xbox-like console experience, one of the neat features of Asus and Microsoft's handheld collaboration was the debut of a new reduced-feature version of Windows, called the Xbox Full Screen Experience, or FSE. This interface made for an easier way to navigate Windows using a touchscreen and D-pad while also reducing the memory footprint of the OS and, in turn, improving performance. Originally exclusive to the Xbox Ally X, FSE has steadily been rolling out to other devices, and now Microsoft has made it available to all existing Windows gaming handhelds. That means that if you're the owner of an original ROG Ally X, a Lenovo Legion Go, or an MSI Claw 2, to name just a few of the best gaming handhelds around, you can now try Microsoft's FSE experience, potentially unlocking a little boost in performance as well as gaining a more streamlined way to navigate Windows.Read the full story on PCGamesN: You can now get the Xbox Ally X's best new feature on all Windows gaming handhelds
