Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed,a 4v1 hunt or haunt action-packed video game from the asymmetrical multiplayer experts at IllFonic, is releasing the first DLC on January 31, 2023. This packed DLC is FREE with the purchase of the original game available on PC/Epic Games Store, PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One for $39.99.
DLC Highlights:
The Facility, New Map – The Facility closed for good in the late 1980s and has been recently purchased by a private investor group, who have plans to renovate and reopen the facility. Unfortunately for them, it’s being plagued by ghostly activity, and construction crews refuse to enter this haunted health center. Design Director, Jordan Mathewson shares what makes playing this map unique, “This job location [map] is clearly worn by time which gives players a unique feeling compared to our previous job locations [maps]. Construction workers are civilians and have begun a restoration of this facility that has uncovered why it was abandoned in the first place. Varied corridors combined with medium-sized rooms are built stacked up to provide a unique, more intimate gameplay experience with a creepier aesthetic. There will be some interesting ways to utilize these new areas in this map to each player’s, Ghostbuster or Ghost, advantage.”
New Ghost Type – Glutton which includes Muncher plus two additional variants – Immediately recognizable, Muncher, is a fan-favorite and the most requested Ghost IllFonic has received. If you are a haunting enthusiast, then you will not be disappointed to get your hands on this mischievous Ghost Type in game.
Firehouse Additions – Players will see new character customization options, gear like the Belt Gizmo and Disruptor Pylon, along with improvements to gear attachments, and more.
Game Play – The team has been hard at work making improvements to game matchmaking. All bots in the game have also been improved, those haunting you and those helping you bust ghosts.
Remember, IllFonic plans to release similar DLC Drops each quarter of 2023 for free, in addition to the continued Quality of Life patches supporting Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed.

RØDE has released a headset edition of the award-winning NTH-100 headphones, the NTH-100M. Released earlier this year to widespread acclaim, the NTH-100s marked RØDE’s highly anticipated debut into the headphone market and have since been cemented as a modern classic with their exceptional sound quality, innovative features for superior comfort, sleek looks and rugged build quality.
The NTH-100M offers the same premium features, with the addition of a broadcast-grade headset microphone, making it ideal for media and broadcast, podcasting, streaming and gaming, conference calls and other business applications. The microphone is also available as a standalone accessory, the NTH-Mic, allowing existing NTH-100 users to transform their headphones into a professional headset.
The NTH-100M is a professional over-ear headset that combines the award-winning NTH-100 headphones with a broadcast-quality grade microphone.
NTH-100M Headset
KEY FEATURES OF THE NTH-100M:
Custom-matched drivers that deliver an incredibly accurate frequency response and low distortion – ideal for both critical and everyday listening
Precision-engineered acoustic construction optimised for exceptional detail and clarity

“The NTH-100 headphones have been hugely successful since their release back in March,” said RØDE CEO Damien Wilson. “We spent years meticulously designing these headphones to deliver the best listening experience possible, and they were an instant hit with everyone from audio professionals to home musicians and content creators, particularly for their highly accurate sound signature and ultra-comfortable design. It was incredibly gratifying to see our hard work pay off and now it is with great pleasure that we can deliver everything the NTH-100s have to offer in a professional headset.”
HEAR AND BE HEARD WITH INCREDIBLE AUDIO
The headphone components of the NTH-100M are identical to the NTH-100. This includes custom-matched 40mm dynamic drivers that were painstakingly crafted using high-grade components to deliver an extremely accurate frequency response and very low distortion.
The construction of the earcups further enhances the listening experience, with their unique contoured design delivering optimal acoustic performance for outstanding clarity and detail. Each earcup also features a layer of high-density memory foam for excellent isolation from external noise.

Each earcup also features a layer of revolutionary CoolTech™ gel, which absorbs and dissipates heat, actively cooling the head and ears to significantly reduce wearing fatigue – invaluable when being used for long periods.
The memory foam padding in each earcup not only provides excellent passive attenuation of external noise, but also ensures a custom-fit feel for any head size or shape, even for those who wear glasses. The headband is fully adjustable and features the FitLok™ locking system, which secures the earcups firmly in place, giving them a tailored feel and ensuring they fit perfectly every time they are worn.
RUGGED AND DURABLE
The NTH-100M is incredibly rugged, built using high-grade components in RØDE’s state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities in Sydney, Australia. From the high-strength spring steel headband and durable Alcantara finishes, to the FitLok system, which ensures minimal mechanical wear and tear, every component is crafted to endure years of daily use.
The detachable NTH-Mic features a locking bayonet connector for a rock-solid connection, and the ability to remove it ensures it can be kept safe when in storage or transit. The pads and cable are also user-replaceable, ensuring maximum longevity, and the NTH-100 is also covered by a lifetime warranty – a world-first for professional headphones – while the NTH-Mic is covered by a 2-year warranty.

Cyberpunk 2077 gets better with every patch, and today’s patch adds NVIDIA DLSS 3, the next revolution in neural graphics. The DLSS 3 performance uplift enables GeForce Gamers to experience Cyberpunk 2077 with every setting and ray-traced option maxed out for the best image quality, and performance is great.
With realistic shadows and lighting and the added performance of NVIDIA DLSS 3 no other platform will compare to the Cyberpunk 2077 experience on a GeForce RTX-powered PC.
Cyberpunk 2077 has emerged as the benchmark game for a new generation of gamers who are asking the question ‘But can it run Cyberpunk’. Cyberpunk 2077 should be included in any benchmark suite used to test GPUs and tested to deliver the best experience – every setting and ray-traced option maxed out and DLSS 3 enabled.
DLSS Is Always Learning, New Improvements in Cyberpunk 2077
The new patch delivers improvements including AI network enhancements for DLSS Frame Generation that better take advantage of game engine data, improving UI stability and image quality during fast movement. See an example in this video.
Cyberpunk 2077 Sets a New Standard
Cyberpunk 2077 is a game that has defined next-generation gaming graphics through its use of DirectX Ray Tracing, a lighting technique that emulates the way light reflects and refracts in the real world, providing a more believable environment than what’s typically seen using static lighting in more traditional games.
The game uses several ray tracing techniques to render a massive future city at incredible levels of detail and gives gamers a peek into the future of PC gaming. The current version of the game uses ray-traced shadows, reflections, diffuse illumination, and ambient occlusion. If you turn on ‘Psycho mode’ in the ray traced lighting settings, you will even see ray traced global illumination as sunlight bounces realistically around the scene.
The result is a visually stunning gaming experience in a believable dystopian futuristic setting. Sprawling cityscapes that use subtle shadows to define depth. Windows, mirrors and puddles with accurate reflections. Night City districts that are bathed in neon lights – an effect critical to the game’s cyberpunk aesthetic.
With the latest patch for Cyberpunk 2077 and a GeForce 40 Series GPU, gamers get a glimpse of PC gaming’s AI-powered future today.
DLSS 3 Sets the Stage for Ray Tracing: Overdrive Mode!
The addition of DLSS 3 sets the stage for the pending Cyberpunk 2077 ‘Ray Tracing: Overdrive Mode’, an upcoming update that will take the game’s ray tracing to new heights and greatly enhance the game’s already-incredible visuals.
‘Ray Tracing: Overdrive Mode’ will cement Cyberpunk 2077 as the new ‘But can it play’ game for years to come. And DLSS 3 will be the key feature that gives GeForce 40 Series gamers the ability to answer, ‘yes’ when asked ‘But can it run Cyberpunk?’.

Available in wattages from 750W up to 1200W, these fully modular 80 PLUS Gold-certified PSUs feature the DC connector panel on the side of the unit, granting easier access to your cables and simpler, cleaner cable management.
The RMx SHIFT Series’ repositioned side panel (patent-pending) gives you a clear view and better access to all modular micro-fit connections, making connecting and maintaining your cables a breeze. Not only does this make attaching and detaching cables easy, it also means they won’t be bent or twisted as much to reach the connectors, resulting in less strain and a cleaner build.
Every model of RMx SHIFT is ATX 3.0 certified and PCIe 5.0 compliant for powering the latest cutting-edge systems, helping to improve overall system performance and reliability while providing the power needed to operate at the highest levels. With an included high-quality PCIe 5.0 12VHPWR GPU cable, the RMx SHIFT Series is ready for use with modern graphics cards such as the NVIDIA® GeForce™ RTX 40 Series.
The RMx SHIFT Series comes equipped with all the features that PC builders have come to expect from the RMx name.

A 140mm fluid dynamic bearing fan utilizes a specially calculated fan curve for high performance, low noise, and superior reliability, with support for Zero RPM fan mode for near-silent operation at low loads. 80 PLUS Gold and Cybenetics Gold-certified, the RMx SHIFT Series is rated for steady power output at up to 90% efficiency. 100% 105°C-rated Japanese electrolytic capacitors guarantee unwavering power delivery and long-term durability.
CORSAIR has tested the RMx SHIFT in all current CORSAIR cases to guarantee compatibility, and has already updated the online PC Builder database with the most popular third party cases. CORSAIR is hard at work verifying compatibility with most third party cases and will continue to add that information to the PC Builder database over the coming weeks. As a general guideline, a minimum clearance of 30mm of open space to the side of the bottom compartment is necessary to accommodate the side-positioned connector panel.
For a new perspective on how to build and connect your next PC, look for the RMx SHIFT Series and get a PSU that’s on your side.

Wargaming, the publisher and developer of the popular game World of Warships, is ringing in the Lunar New Year on consoles in World of Warships: Legends. This update is jam-packed with content, including ships, a Commander, and specialty skins. Legends also welcomes the fourth wave of Azur Lane to its harbours, a Legendary Italian cruiser to the research Bureau and yet another classic five-week, 100 milestone campaign with the German Tier VIII Premium battleship Pommern waiting at the end.
Pan-Asian Arrivals
Welcoming the Year of the Rabbit, a boatload of Pan-Asian content has bounced into Legends. Kicking off these Lunar New Year celebrations is a brand-new dragon Commander guise, equipped with its own special voiceover. Keeping the scaly theme going, Tier VII Premium Pan-Asian destroyer Northern Dragon makes a debut, alongside several special, Pan-Asian skins for a handful of ships to get in on the festivities.
In addition, Lunar New Year sees a dedicated crate come to the game, and a whole new branch of four Tier IV-VII tech tree cruisers coming to Early Access. These ships, sporting some hefty deep-water torpedoes, each come with a personal mission to complete. This branch will become researchable in the next update and make way for the introduction of the line-topping Tier VIII Sejong.
Ladies, ships, and guns
A fabulous quintet, this Azur Lane reinforcement, same as the previous three waves, is based on the Azur Lane Characters. Those are: Eagle Union New Jersey, Royal Navy Neptune, Iron Blood Roon, Northern Parliament Chapayev, and last, but definitely not least comes Iris Libre – the first character of this faction to grace Legends’ waters – Saint Louis.
Two shiny new ships will dock in the port. No captain is worthy enough without their ships, so a couple of those, Azur Lane New Jersey as a battleship and Azur Lane Chapayev as a cruiser, are joining US and Soviet Navies, respectively.
Three more new skins, Azur Lane Roon (for German navy), Azur Lane Neptune (for Royal Navy), and Azur Lane Saint Louis will be obtainable alongside aforementioned in-game items. However, all of these require having an original version of the warship to be useful.
The new Azur Lane crate, unlike the iterations of previous parts of the collaboration, does not drop only the current wave Commanders. Instead, it contains a chance for every item of the collaboration, among other in-game goodies.
Campaign, Competitive Modes and More
Wrapping up this packed update is another classic Legends campaign. Waiting at the end of the five-week, 100-milestone Griffin of the Baltic campaign is the solid German Tier VIII Premium battleship Pommern. This vessel boasts a solid HP pool alongside a powerful secondary battery and mighty AP shells. This update also sees three extended seasons of Ranked Battles and two also-extended Brawls to the game, with Ranked Battles available to ships spanning Tier V-VII to engage in five-on-five battles. Closing out January’s update, Legends also welcomes its first Legendary Tier Italian ship, with cruiser Napoli of Regia Marina joining as a free Bureau project.
This update also brings several bug fixes, upgrades and balance changes across the game.
