Black Myth: Wukong arrived yesterday and is already breaking records on Steam. It is the most popular single-player video game to hit the Steam platform. The game is an RPG based on Chinese mythology, with the main character fighting against a plethora of mythical creatures. It is one of the most graphically advanced games, running on Unreal Engine 5 and featuring full ray tracing/path tracing for lighting and caustics.
Star Wars Outlaws is an upcoming open-world Star Wars game to launch on August 30. Built by Ubisoft, the game is set between the time of Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back and Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. The main character's goal is to seek freedom through the galaxy's crime syndicates. The new title will come with DLSS 3.5, including Ray Reconstruction and Nvidia's RTX Dynamic Illumination, to boost the game's ray-traced reflections and global illumination.
Last, driver 560.94 debuts with support for the RTX 4070 with GDDR6 memory. The new GDDR6 model aims to improve the RTX 4070's supply and availability.
