Krafton introduces device bans in order to curb cheating in BGMI

Krafton has announced that it will be taking even stricter measures to control hacking or cheating in Battlegrounds Mobile India. The developers will now ban the device itself, instead of just the associated account.  In its official announcement, the developers stated, “ If the use of illegal programs is detected with a mobile device by the newly applied security logic, the device will be permanently banned from using BGMI.” Up until now, any hacker who was caught using illegal programs would get their account permanently banned. However, they were still free to simply create a new account and continue cheating. With the device ban in place, anyone caught using illegal software will no longer be able to play the game using the same device. This should ensure that players who get caught cheating will no longer get the chance to cheat again unless they get a new device.

Xbox Game Pass added games worth more than Rs 4,70,000 in 2021

Let's face it, gaming is an expensive hobby. Not only do you need to spend Rs 50,000 (if you can find it at retail) for the PS5 (review) or Xbox Series X (review), but each new AAA game at launch costs roughly Rs 4000 to Rs 6000 which is quite a lot. While most gamers will wait for a sale or price drop to get their hands on their favourite game, the urge to play a new game at launch is quite palpable especially if it has been reviewed really well. This is where a service like Game Pass from Microsoft really helps soften the blow and reduces the point of entry to enjoy a great catalogue of games. Xbox Game Pass starts at Rs 489 per month for the consoles or PC and the combination of the two along with access to Games with Gold and EA Play is priced at Rs 699. This is of course, before tax. As of writing this story, new members get access to 8 months of service for the price of one which is incredible value getting you addicted to the service immediately. You can learn more about th...

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness trailer gives us hope that Marvel will not ruin the Sorcerer Supreme

After the successful release of Spider-Man: No Way Home, Sony and Marvel have seen the first real hit from the Phase 4 series of films. Almost everything after Endgame was rejected by fans with Black Widow and Shang Chi delivering middling box office returns. The media tried blaming everything without actually addressing the problem. Marvel does not understand the fans anymore. We’re hoping that trend does not continue with the latest in the MCU Phase 4 lineup, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. The latest trailer for the second instalment of the adventures of Marvel’s Sorceror Supreme does look like a fun time and the return of Baron Mordo as well as the debut of Evil Strange.  Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness trailer is out The Multiverse was first explored in No Way Home with Strange opening up doorways to multiple dimensions in the extended MCU after a botched spell trying to help Peter Parker with a particular conundrum.

Nvidia announces RTX 2050 powered laptops along with GeForce MX550 and MX570

As gaming laptops become more affordable, Nvidia is looking at lowering the bar for modern gaming even more with the announcement of the RTX 2050 GPU. Laptops that come with the RTX 2050 will hit markets sometime in mid-2022. We have no idea what these newer RTX 2050 laptops will cost but they should be cheaper than laptops with an RTX 3050. The RTX 2050 is based on the Ampere GA107 architecture which also shaped the 3050. This essentially means that gamers will be able to experience games with ray-tracing enabled.  Nivida also announced the GeForce MX550 as well as the GeForce MX570 gaming laptops. From what we can see, these two laptops will be aimed at the low-end segment of the market, with mainly first-time customers looking for a laptop that can run the most games at a decent price. Nvidia has not released the specs for these cards and has only said that they offer “more CUDA Cores” and “faster memory speeds”. We will just have to wait and see what exactly these laptop...
