Bethesda has released an update for the Switch 2 version of Fallout 4 Anniversary Edition that introduces DLSS support. The new feature improves both visual quality and performance in the game’s 40 FPS and 60 FPS modes. According to the announcement, DLSS will automatically disable in text-heavy interfaces like the Pip-Boy to ensure optimal readability. This enhancement represents a significant technical improvement for the post-apocalyptic RPG on Nintendo’s next-generation hardware, potentially offering smoother gameplay and better image quality for players exploring the Commonwealth.
Sony has announced price adjustments for all PlayStation 5 models in China, with the changes taking effect on April 2nd. The Digital Edition (slim model) will increase from ¥2,999 to ¥3,999 (~$560), while the standard edition (slim model) rises from ¥3,599 to ¥4,399 (~$615). The PS5 Pro sees the most substantial increase, jumping from ¥5,599 to ¥6,299 (~$880). Sony stated the price adjustments resulted from “comprehensive and prudent assessment” and are necessary to continue providing high-quality gaming experiences. These represent significant price hikes across the entire PS5 lineup in the Chinese market.
The anime series Expelled from Paradise is getting a game adaptation featuring a completely original story. The game will expand the franchise’s universe alongside the theatrical film Expelled from Paradise: Heart’s Resonance, which premieres on November 13th. According to the announcement, the game is scheduled for release this winter, though specific platforms and gameplay details have not yet been revealed. This represents an expansion of the popular sci-fi franchise into interactive entertainment, offering fans new ways to engage with the series’ distinctive cyberpunk setting and philosophical themes. While anime-to-game adaptations can be hit or miss, the promise of original content expanding the established universe is certainly intriguing for franchise enthusiasts.
