F1 22 Jeddah setup: best car settings for Saudi Arabia

If you're taking on the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, you'll want to know the best F1 22 Jeddah setup. Typically the second track in a standard season if you mimic the order of real life, Jeddah was first introduced last year as the track where you spend the longest time at full throttle, hurtling round the high-speed corners.

As a result, Saudi Arabia is a location that offers plenty of overtaking opportunities, which is where the best F1 22 Jeddah setup comes in handy. Depending on your driving style and car performance, there will always be some slight tweaks needed based on your preference, so don't take this as an exact science, but following these car settings will almost certainly improve your lap times from the preset options in one of the best racing games this year.

Darkmoon Faire returns to WoW with a DDR-style dancing minigame

World of Warcraft world events are a curious beast, at once wildly exciting for new players and a humdrum carousel of recycled content for jaded veterans of the long-tenured MMO game. Having said that, Blizzard usually makes an effort to include some new content each time the calendar rolls around, and July's WoW Darkmoon Faire is no exception.

The Day Before system requirements

The Day Before system requirements aren't too demanding, but the open-world MMO is ravenous when it comes to RAM. While the post-apocalyptic survival romp will run on a low-end graphics card from 2015, you might need to revamp your rig if you want to play with higher settings enabled.

Fortnite’s Major Mancake is hiding a cool secret

Fortnite has a lot of skins that can be edited, or that change in response to the world around them. It's a fun feature that adds more life to the cosmetics, and it turns out that Major Mancake, who you unlock by going through the Fall Guys Crown Clash challenges, changes subtly as you play.

What is the current and next Genshin Impact banner?

Posted: 04 Jul 2022 08:51 AM PDT

What is the current and next Genshin Impact banner?

Genshin Impact banners adhere to a pretty regular schedule. Each update arrives with a new banner that lasts around three weeks, and after it expires, it's followed by a second banner which also lasts roughly three weeks, at which point it's update time once again.

Wondering what the next Genshin Impact banner is? Even though we hear rumours of new Genshin Impact characters arriving in forthcoming updates, we won't know their exact release date until we know which banner they will be a part of, and whether it'll be the first or second banner in the update. Occasionally, banners don't stick to this schedule - most notably, update 1.3 had three two-week banners, so that Hu Tao's banner didn't cross over with the Chinese New Year.

Typically, each limited character banner - or Event Wish - contains a five-star character, and three four-star characters. There's also a Weapon banner - Epitome Invocation - which runs alongside each character banner, and features different weapons each time. Here's everything you need to know about the current and upcoming Genshin Impact banners.

Red Dead Redemption 2 mod updates entire game world

Red Dead Redemption 2 updates are probably never coming – despite creating one of the most convincing, rich, and evocative open worlds of all time, Rockstar, for some reason, seems content with letting it drift away, like a ball of Valentine tumbleweed. But that doesn't mean the game is finished, as RDR 2's passionate modding community continues to find new ways of breathing life into the western.

Minecraft map of WoW Stormwind has Blizzard impressed

Minecraft map of WoW Stormwind has Blizzard impressed

There are plenty of Minecraft maps representing blocky versions of your favourite games, from Elden Ring to Mario Kart. One of the most impressive recreations we've seen is still in the works, and it's all about World of Warcraft - in fact, it's so impressive that even Blizzard itself has complimented it.

YouTuber Yunatahel, who does a lot of World of Warcraft videos, also happens to be recreating Stormwind from the MMO game in Minecraft. Stormwind, also known as Stormwing City, is the capital city of the area known as Stormwind and the largest human city in Azeroth. It's named so because of sudden squalls of wind that occur due to a leyline pattern around the city.

While this Minecraft build is still in the works, the video shows off a stunning level of detail and craftsmanship - not to mention adoration for the source material. Each building is adorned with a beautiful tiled roof, the cobbled walkways look almost real, and the lighting effects add a sense of life to the area as well. A bevy of shops, waterways, and churches litter the area, and we can't wait to explore it.

New AMD Zen 3 CPUs could arrive before Ryzen 7000 Zen 4 chips

New AMD Zen 3 CPUs could arrive before Ryzen 7000 Zen 4 chips

AMD Ryzen 7000 CPUs are on the horizon, but Zen 3 might be here to stay for a little longer. Zen 4 should eventually supersede the company's current-gen offering, but rumours point toward new Zen 3D chips that cater to budget gaming PC builds.

According to reliable hardware leaker Greymon55, "several new" AMD Zen 3 processors are on the cards, and we'll apparently hear more about the lineup next month. So far, AMD has only released one 8-core Zen3D SKU, but we'll potentially see team red expand its AM4 portfolio with cheap and cheerful gaming CPUs that pack a punch.

Speaking of AM4, there's seemingly also still life left in AMD's current-gen platform, as Greymon55 claims we'll see "low-end AMD products" in the future. In other words, you might not have to upgrade to the best motherboard to jump on the Zen 4 bandwagon, as budget chips could still boast older socket compatibility. Naturally, this means some next-gen options may still support DDR4, which suggests they could use a different memory controller.

The best Genshin Impact Yoimiya build

Yoimiya joins the roster of new Genshin Impact characters as part of the current Genshin Impact banner alongside the four-star Sayu. If you're looking for the best Yoimiya build in Genshin Impact, then here's how to create the ideal build based on Yoimiya's abilities.

The Genshin Impact Yoimiya banner, Tapestry of Golden Flames, has dropped. You now have a chance to play as the five-star firework shop owner, also known as the Queen of the Summer Festival, who lives in Inazuma City in Hanamizaka. She is a five-star Pyro bow user, and although players may be hesitant to try her out due to her lack of AoE damage, the best Yoimiya build proves why she should be used in the primary DPS role.

Cuphead player speedruns game while simultaneously climbing a mountain

Cuphead speedruns are extremely difficult. The platforms are tricky, the bosses vicious, and the likelihood of dying, and losing precious seconds, very high. And do you know what else is very high? Mountains. So how about we combine the metaphorical steep challenge of speedrunning Cuphead with the literal steepness of an actual mountain?

Genshin Impact outfits – available skins and costumes

Genshin Impact outfits – available skins and costumes

After months of the community asking for character outfits, Genshin Impact gives players the chance to change their character's outfits using the skins system. This system was introduced in the Genshin Impact 1.6 update, but the developers have been slow to give every character an outfit.

One of the big questions surrounding the Genshin Impact outfits was how skins were planned to be distributed. As Genshin Impact locks characters behind gacha mechanics, players were worried that skins may be sold using the same system. There are two methods to unlock events: purchase the skin for 1680 Genesis Crystals, or complete a specific event. If you happen to miss the event, the skin will make its way to the Character Outfit Shop in the future. Here are all of the Genshin Impact outfits so far.

Project Cambria, not Oculus Quest 2, is Meta’s main priority right now

Project Cambria, not Oculus Quest 2, is Meta’s main priority right now

The Oculus Quest 2 might be Meta's best VR headset, but the social media giant is reported "laser focussed" on Project Cambria - a mixed reality platform that's set to arrive this year. While the Quest 2 has proven itself as a gaming device, the company hopes to properly establish itself within the metaverse using the new pair of standalone goggles, which could in turn help it face fierce financial headwinds.

According to an internal "investment priorities" memo obtained by Reuters, Project Cambria will help drive the firm's key metaverse priorities, namely Avatars and Horizon Worlds. Meta's Chief product officer Chris Cox also says the launch of Cambria will help inaugurate a "prosumer/industrial-grade mixed reality product line," something that suggests more devices are on the cards.

The memo may cover VR ambitions, but the Oculus Quest 2 isn't included on the priority list. While you can create an Avatar and download Horizon Worlds on Quest 2 for free, it looks like Project Cambria will be pushed as the company's shining metaverse star later this year.

Genshin Impact Kazuha rerun banner and abilities

Kazuha an Anemo Sword user and hails from Inazuma, but 'currently lives with the Crux Fleet of Liyue' and he's getting a banner rerun in the 2.8 update.

Depending on how you build him and how many of his constellations you're able to unlock, you can check out of Genshin Impact best Kazuha build to prepare ahead of time. Interestingly, he focuses on elemental damage, and scales with elemental mastery. He depends heavily on his weapons and artifacts to provide him with damage bonuses as he doesn't get these from his ascension.

He receives a huge elemental damage bonus from his ultimate when it combines with another element, and deals additional elemental damage whenever he causes a swirl reaction, so we recommend pairing him with characters who can provide this, like Chongyun or Hu Tao.

Project Cambria VR headset release date speculation, price, and specs

Project Cambria VR headset release date speculation, price, and specs

Project Cambria is set to be Meta's next best VR headset that's fuelled by metaverse ambitions, but it won't replace the Oculus Quest 2. The company says the mixed reality device will cater to more than just gaming, even going as far as to claim it could replace your work PC or laptop. While this suggests the device will be all work and no play, there's reason to believe it'll still be a great option for VR games, even if the Oculus Quest 3 ends up being the company's actual next-gen VR gaming gizmo.

We suspect that Project Cambria is the new title for the previously rumoured Oculus Quest Pro, but rumblings of an enhanced Oculus Quest 2 Pro are now making the rounds. At the company's debut Meta Connect conference in October 2021, CEO Mark Zuckerberg described its mixed reality device as a "completely new advanced and high-end product." The Facebook boss has since emphasised the difference between Quest and the new metaverse goggles in a Facebook post, claiming they aim to "seamlessly blend virtual reality with the physical world."

Zuckerberg's description is perhaps more fluffy than helpful, but we've collated everything we know about Project Cambria in an effort to decipher the Meta headset's potential price, release date, and specs.

MSI turns your gaming PC into a drum kit with an RGB foot pedal

July 4, 2022 There's less than a week left to back the MSI Liberator if you're interested.

At this point, gaming PC folks have mastered the art of using their hands with plenty of keyboards and mice to choose from, but two of our limbs just sit there, lifeless. With the introduction of the MSI Liberator, the folks over at Micro Star International envision a world where we don't simply let our legs atrophy and instead put them to use with a three-button pedal.

Looking for the Destiny 2 Xur location? Xûr is Destiny 2's Exotic gear merchant.
