Goo cat from Death Stranding 2 #FanArt by tokusomeone

The original Death Stranding has been released on iPhones and macOS devices for $19.99.

Mobile version works in 400p resolution and still struggles to maintain 30FPS. Moments with a lot of simulations and AI makes the game to freeze for up to 3-4 seconds.

The laptop one works well on modern devices and the quality is comparable to the one you may get... by playing on RTX 2060. Which leads to an unpleasant overall result — Apple devices are still not for gaming.

Meanwhile #Ubisoft reported they are disappointed in Assassin's Creed Nexus #VR sales and will no longer make bets on VR market (despite being impressed by modern devices including #Apple Vision Pro).

It seems that VR is in downfall for about 2 years now and Quest 3 wasn't a savoir at all. And Vision Pro isn't for games or a truly wide audience either.

Helldivers II almost reached 120000 concurrent players on #Steam making it the most successful release published by Sony on PC. Way above God of War and Horizon Zero Dawn.

The game is fun and polished but still a co-op multiplayer that you can't enjoy alone. You and teammates have to land on planets to flight bugs and robots and it's an ommage to starship troopers.

And during the hardest time between G3 and G4 I donated ~$300 over the years and glad to see how the project grew 😊
