If you’ve tried to pay for something on Steam via PayPal over the past month and a bit, only to be told you can’t, Valve have now offered an explanation as to why, pointing to a bank that previously handled PayPal transactions in certain currencies as having suddenly terminated its support.

Folks in affected countries first noticed notifications informing them PayPal was “currently unavailable” in their part of the world around a month ago. There’s been a steady stream of Reddit posts from folks who’ve gotten to checkout and been told this since then.

Subnautica 2 publishers Krafton have issued their response to the lawsuit filed against them by the game’s former lead developers. If you’re wondering whether things have cooled off a bit between the two parties now we’re in Saul Goodmanville, think again, because the second paragraph of the response sees Krafton accuse the leads of having “resorted to litigation to demand a payday they haven’t earned.”

It’s an almost impossible task at this point to sum up the Subnautica 2 saga in less than a War and Peace length novel, but here’s my attempt to give you the abbreviated version. Krafton delay the game from a 2025 early access release to 2026 and fire three leads on it: Charlie Cleveland, Max McGuire, and Ted Gill. The company accuse those leads of abandoning their duties and argue the game wasn’t ready for early access. The leads disagree and file a lawsuit. A big part of what makes the disagreement so noteworthy is a $250 million bonus to be paid to Unknown Worlds staff if the game hit certain targets by the end of 2025, which Krafton have now said they’ll still pay out a fraction of. Annnnddd breathe.

Still troubled by Monster Hunter Wilds’ stubbornly sedate PC performance, even after multiple patches claiming to grease its framerate gears? The good news is that Capcom have committed to pushing through performance and stability updates into, at the very least, Winter 2025. The bad news is that Capcom also say they won’t have finished their performance and stability improvements until, at the earliest, Winter 2025.

Please, for the love of all that can be side-swiped to oncoming traffic, make a new Burnout game. This has been one of the five thoughts that fill my head on a daily basis for years at this point, and thanks to a website that’s letting people draw pixel art all over Google Maps, I’ve been given yet another outlet via which to let it out.

That site is wplace, and it’ll look familiar if you’ve been partial to the now defunct Reddit thread r/place at any point. Basically, anyone can hop into its map and colour in pixels to doodle over the top of any place on Earth, creating vast canvases of cool art and scrawled messages to whomever might be watching.

We’ve covered a few deals on the RTX 5070 from various manufacturers in recent days, but today we’ve spotted its big brother, the RTX 5080, up for almost 20% off.

Right, stop eating your mate for a minute. Peak‘s had a big update from developers Aggro Crab and Landfall Games, and it adds a new Monument Valley-esque location for you to scale the cliffs of.

Before you can go mountaineering among the sandy cacti and roaring tornadoes, though, you’ll want to put on some suncream. Yes, I know you now do the cannibalism thanks to co-op climber’s most recent patch, but you’ve still got to take your skincare seriously. Come on, at least take a parasol.

While admitting that FBC: Firebreak‘s launch on Steam “underperformed”, developers Remedy have re-iterated their commitment to the co-op shooter in their latest financial report, saying that it remains “a solid game to build on” and confirming that a previously announced major update will arrive in late September.

The report also gives quick mini-updates on the development of Control 2 and the combined Max Payne 1 & 2 remake, both of which remain on course.

We’re always on the lookout for the best gaming mice, but it’d be fair to say the name conventions are a bit of a mess. The Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2 is a great example of this: Fantastic mouse, terrible name.

It’d be fair to say that PC gaming isn’t quite as accessible as console gaming for newcomers. Right off the bat, it’s obvious that a Nintendo Switch 2 is an upgrade over a Nintendo Switch 1, but while you, the discerning RPS reader, will have some understanding of processors, RAM, and those all-important GPUs, it’s not always easy for someone to jump in (short of grabbing a Steam Deck).
