Crimson Desert PC Requirements Revealed And They’re Surprisingly Tame

With Crimson Desert launching on March 19, 2026, PC players finally know what kind of hardware they will need to run one of the most visually ambitious games we have seen in years. Considering how demanding recent PC releases have been, there was real concern that this would require a monster rig just to hit acceptable performance. Instead, what Pearl Abyss has shared looks surprisingly reasonable. Perhaps a bit too reasonable, but who am I to complain. Seeing a GTX 1060 listed in 2026 is honest...

Twitch Reportedly Using Persona Identity Verification

Update: Originally, the thought was that this is seemingly being enforced on new affiliates, and also raises the question if Twitch plans on enforcing this on existing affiliates, or even Partners. however, one of our own team members revealed that they also had a pop-up on their phone after updating the Twitch app. He’s not an affiliate and just has an account so he can fully utilize Twitch. Though, he is based in the UK, and while it might be handled differently in the UK, it does raise even m...

It looks like we won’t have to wait for Pokémon Day 2026 that takes place on February 27, 2026, after all. Nintendo has officially confirmed that Pokémon FireRed and Pokémon LeafGreen are coming to Nintendo Switch. These won’t be part of Nintendo Switch Online.

Armatus Preview | The Outerhaven

It’s funny how 2026 keeps introducing me to games that were not even on my radar a week ago and Armatus is the latest example. What started as casual curiosity quickly turned into eight hours of “one more run” until I looked up and realized I had completely lost track of time. Armatus is a third-person shooter with roguelike elements, and the more I played it, the more I started seeing hints of Returnal and Hades in its DNA. But this is not some derivative project trying to copy homework. It fee...
