![]() ![]() It’s getting hard to trust that a new game will run at all on PC. That’s every AAA release that’s been released so far in 2023, short of Atomic Heart and Hi-Fi Rush. There have been disasters in the form of The Last of Us Part 1, Wild Hearts, and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, but even Returnal, Resident Evil 4, Hogwarts Legacy, Forspoken, Redfall, and Dead Space have seen issues to varying degrees. ![]() And in 2023, it feels like we’ve been getting an Arkham Knight at least once a month.īasically, every AAA release on PC this year has been littered with problems. A capped frame rate, horrid performance, and constant stuttering made it one of the worst PC ports ever released. Publishers were willing to devote more time to PC as a platform, leading to better graphics menus, more control options, and the death of dreaded mouse acceleration. In the years leading up to it, there had been a bit of a renaissance is PC ports. Wind back to 2015 when Arkham Knight‘s infamous PC port released. But if I was just playing games and not testing their performance, I know I’d be more inclined to spend my $70 on a platform where I know the game will at least run. That’s more than I can say for most new PC games these days. I consider suffering through stutters and crashes in new games just an occupational hazard, of course. ![]()
