PlayStation’s recent struggles in the PC gaming market can be traced back to its delayed release strategy. A report from research firm Newzoo highlights that the staggered approach of launching games on PlayStation 5 before releasing them on PC has significantly limited the audience for these titles. This has resulted in a mere 13% of players on PC for PlayStation titles within the first three months of their release, a stark contrast to the potential engagement if games were launched simultaneously across platforms.

In a surprising revelation, a player has discovered that installing all downloadable content (DLC) for Monster Hunter Wilds can significantly enhance the game’s performance on PC. According to Reddit user de_Tylmarande, the game experiences drastic frame rate improvements when all DLC is present, potentially due to an aggressive DLC ownership check function that hampers performance for players with only the base game. After conducting tests on different accounts, de_Tylmarande noted that their performance issues vanished when logged into a friend’s account that had all DLC installed.

As we dive into June, Steam has once again surprised its users with an enticing selection of four free games that cater to a variety of gaming tastes. This month, players can explore narrative-driven adventures, action-packed gameplay, and even relaxing word games—all without spending a dime. It’s a fantastic opportunity for gamers to expand their libraries and experience new titles ahead of their full launches. First on the list is The Falling Star, a first-person walking simulator that invites players to embark on a heartfelt journey.
