Starfield’s Steam beta that lets you try DLSS is now available, Bethesda said Wednesday. The update is set to be available to everyone on PC and Xbox later this month.
Also, the update lets you eat food placed in the world, which is something that should have been in the game from the start.
The Backbone One with a USB-C connector is getting an updated D-Pad as well as magnetic adapters that let you use the controller while your phone is in a compatible case. The new controller will be available starting Wednesday — it could be good to use with Resident Evil Village on the iPhone 15 Pro.
I have a Backbone One with a Lightning connector that’s pretty great, so I’m guessing this updated USB-C version will be just as nice, too.

📈 Average daily active users hit “a new milestone” of 70.2 million, up 20 percent from the same quarter last year
📈 Daily active users grew across “all age groups”
📈 Average monthly unique players (MUP) hit 14.7 million, while the average bookings per MUP was $19.02

Well, if it’s rolled out to you. With Chrome 119, Google has been slowly rolling out the ability to check how much memory that tab is using just by hovering over the tab, 9to5Google reports. 9to5Google also has details on the flag to enable if you want to switch the feature on for yourself. Handy!
The outage has affected millions, according to Reuters. Optus’ help account on X (formerly Twitter) acknowledged an “issue” at 2:47PM ET, and it is still ongoing.
It’s scheduled for November 8th at 12PM ET. It will be 12 minutes long and feature games coming this year and in 2024, according to a press email.
The email cautions that “there will be no new hardware information during the show,” however, so it sounds like we’ll have to keep waiting for release information for the Playdate stereo dock.
Stray will be available on Macs on December 5th, publisher Annapurna Interactive and developer BlueTwelve Studio announced on Tuesday. Maybe a good one to try on a new M3 Mac?
