Mortal Kombat 1 is the latest victim of voices38, who has managed to crack its Denuvo anti-tamper protection. Mortal Kombat 1 came out on PC in September 2023. This means that it took almost three years to crack it. The previous Denuvo-protected game that was cracked was Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced. So, the gap between these two Denuvo cracks was 21 days. It’s worth noting that voices38 has also released a crack for Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain.

Square Enix has confirmed, via the game’s Steam store page, that Final Fantasy 7 Revelation will use the Denuvo anti-tamper tech. This is quite interesting, as the previous parts of the FF7 Remake Trilogy did not use it. My guess is that Square Enix wanted to be as PC-friendly as possible with Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Rebirth. After all, their PC versions came out a year after the console versions. However, FF7 Revelation will launch on PC and consoles at the same time.

Bandai Namco has released the new action RPG that was created by former The Witcher 3 devs, The Blood of Dawnwalker. And, from the looks of it, two must-have mods have just been released for it. So, let’s dive in. The Blood of Dawnwalker is a single-player open-world dark fantasy vampire action RPG. It’s developed by former The Witcher devs, and it uses Unreal Engine 5. In the game, you play as Coen.

Last month, we informed you about an unofficial PC version of the SNES classic, Star Fox, that will run at framerates higher than 60FPS. And today, I’m happy to report that its alpha version is available for download. As said, the biggest feature of the PC version is support for frame rates above 60 FPS. More precisely, Star Fox Enhanced supports 20, 30, 60, 90, 120, 240, 360, and 480 FPS. It keeps the original game’s NTSC speed and model data intact.

Modder ‘CybrDrake’ has released what appears to be the best third-person mod for Cyberpunk 2077, called Immersive Third-Person. This mod will let you play, from start to finish, the entire game in third-person mode. This isn’t the first third-person mod for CP2077. From what I can recall, the first mod came out in 2021. Then, in 2024, we got another, more polished mod. However, this brand new mod blows all of them away.

Pearl Abyss has just released Title Update 2.01.00 for Crimson Desert Enhanced and shared its full patch notes. So, let’s see what this new patch brings to the table. Patch 2.01.00 improves horse-riding quests so that the horse’s health also recovers when retrying the quest.

NVIDIA has just lifted the review embargo for DLSS 5. As I mentioned in my DLSS 5 NBA 2K27 article, this tech is currently available only on RTX 50-series GPUs. However, NVIDIA plans to bring DLSS 5 to RTX 40-series GPUs in the near future. As NVIDIA told us, its current focus is on optimizing performance for the GeForce RTX 50 Series, with model updates expected later this fall. These new models will further improve the performance of DLSS 5.

NVIDIA has just lifted the embargo for DLSS 5. The first game that supports this new version of DLSS is NBA 2K27. Therefore, we can finally share our benchmarks, some comparison screenshots, and our initial impressions. To test DLSS 5, I used an I used an AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D, 32GB of DDR5 at 6000Mhz, and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090. I also used Windows 10 64-bit. Moreover, NVIDIA has provided us with the new GeForce 616.64 driver. NBA 2K27 does not have a built-in benchmark tool.
