Subnautica 2 hits 1M copies on day one, Forza Horizon 6 earns Metacritic 91, Amazon kills LotR MMO again, Kickstarter bans adult content, and AMD confirms FSR 4.1 timing.
Kickstarter has become the latest platform to restrict adult content, apparently under pressure from payment processors like Visa and Mastercard. The move reignites debate over the outsized power of financial intermediaries over online creative content.
Amazon has officially cancelled its Lord of the Rings MMO project. While the company promises to continue exploring Middle-earth game experiences, this marks at least the third failed LOTR MMO attempt.
Subnautica 2 has officially launched in Early Access on Steam, reaching 465,000 concurrent players and 1 million copies sold on launch day. Fans are cautiously optimistic after the mixed reception of Below Zero.
Forza Horizon 6, set in Japan, scores 84/100 from PC Gamer and 91 on Metacritic — matching the beloved Forza Horizon 3 and marking a return to form for the series.
AMD has officially confirmed FSR Upscaling 4.1 will arrive on Radeon RX 7000 GPUs in July 2026, with RX 6000 series support following in 2027. The news extends AI-enhanced upscaling to a broader range of AMD hardware.
