Payday 3 axes Denuvo ahead of launch

Assassin's Creed Mirage is prepping to release this week, and before that, we've received global launch timings for the same. Ubisoft tweeted an infographic listing different timezones that point toward a staggered release — meaning the game unlocks at different times across the world. On console, the ninth-century Baghdad-set title goes live at midnight local time on October 5, which means the more impatient players can try changing their system's location to New Zealand to try and get in early. So far, the release schedule is straightforward, with preloading already live across PC, Xbox, and PlayStation. However, the PC unlock is a tad confusing, with some regions getting a headstart by as much as a day.

The issues that plagued Payday 3 have now been fixed, according to developer Starbreeze.

With Nintendo allegedly having showcased tech demos of the Switch 2 (or whatever it ends up being called) to developers in behind-closed-doors presentations at Gamescom in August, leaks related to the console have been springing up with much greater frequency of late, including some of the games we can expect to launch for the system.

Twitter has reportedly removed an option to report election misinformation.

Multiplayer heist sim PAYDAY 3's launch has been anything but smooth, with massive numbers of players unable to access the game. Plagued by server and matchmaking issues, the always online nature of the title is exacerbating the situation still further.

Payday 3 developer Starbreeze Studios has confirmed that it’s looking towards making the new heist shooter “less dependent on online services”, following the constant server issues and matchmaking problems encountered by players from launch. 

Server issues strike another big game, though Starbreeze says they should be fixed now.

Prepare yourself to fend of waves of ludicrously overzealous cops, swear at a barely functioning drill, and barely make a getaway, because Payday 3 is here. The long-awaited co-op heist shooter is coming out of retirement, but it’s definitely not just for one last job. There’s a whole host of heisting to be done in New York!

Intel has unveiled its brand-new Xeon CPU roadmap which reveals three product families as a part of the Birch Stream platform.
