    Elden Ring is Steam’s Game of the Year, too.

    I know, total shocker, especially after The Game Awards. Users also voted for Elden Ring to win “Best Game You Suck At,” which I’d agree with; I only beat it by farming runes.

    Other notable winners: Hitman 3 for “VR Game of the Year,” Stray (the cat game) for “Most Innovative Gameplay,” and God of War (which released on PC in January 2022) for “Outstanding Story-Rich Game.” You can see the full list here.

    Meta told us how much the Quest 2’s new GPU boost might affect your battery, and it’s good news.

    The company doesn’t anticipate a “noticeable impact” to battery life, spokesperson David Gordon told The Verge after we first published our story, because “the additional power draw will be small and only limited to cases where the additional GPU compute is actively needed.” Happy to hear that!

    Twitter’s “cashtags” show charts now.

    If look at the search result for a cashtag (let’s say, for the sake of example, $TSLA), you’ll now see a chart tracking its stock price, according to a thread from @TwitterBusiness. The charts only seem to show the current day’s performance, but you can click a button to see more information on Robinhood.
