Evolve, the monster-vs.-hunters game from Left 4 Dead developer Turtle Rock Studios, is coming soon to PlayStation 4, Windows, and Xbox One. The developer has shared the minimum and recommended PC specifications so you can find out whether your rig has what it takes to join the hunt, or if it needs to undergo a little forced evolution itself in order to take part.

Not having a 64-bit operating system is a deal-breaker, but the  minimum specs are otherwise forgiving, asking at minimum for graphics cards that were mid-range in 2011, and thus should not break the bank today if you need an upgrade.

MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS:

  • OS: Windows 7 64-bit
  • INTEL CPU: Core 2 Duo E6600
  • AMD CPU: Athlon 64 X2 6400
  • SYSTEM RAM: 4GB
  • NVIDIA VIDEO CARD: GeForce GTX 560
  • ATI VIDEO CARD: Radeon HD 5770
  • VIDEO MEMORY: 1GB
  • HARD DRIVE: 50GB

RECOMMENDED REQUIREMENTS:

  • OS: Windows 7 64-bit
  • INTEL CPU: Core i7-920
  • AMD CPU: A8-3870K
  • SYSTEM RAM: 6GB
  • NVIDIA VIDEO CARD: GeForce GTX 670 or GTX 760
  • ATI VIDEO CARD: Radeon R9 280
  • VIDEO MEMORY: 2GB
  • HARD DRIVE: 50GB

If you’re not sure whether your PC has what it takes, the developer suggests using Nvidia’s GPU analyzer to check. The post also confirms that the game will support 4K displays at launch, though not yet Nvidia’s Scalable Link Interface multi-GPU processing, for which Turtle Rock is working to add support at a later date.

Evolve comes out on PS4, Windows, and Xbox One on February 10. Xbox One owners can get an early taste of the action with an open beta that runs from January 15 to 19.

Back 4 Blood will launch on Xbox Game Pass, according to stream description
Shooting in Back 4 Blood.

We know Back 4 Blood will be shown during the Warner Bros. E3 2021 event, but according to a video description that went up early, it appears the game will launch on Xbox Game Pass on day one. The video has since been made private, but not before Redditors grabbed a screenshot of its description.

Back 4 Blood comes to us from Turtle Rock Studios, with developers who worked on the Left 4 Dead series. In fact, Back 4 Blood will serve as a spiritual successor to Left 4 Dead and will fill that void since Valve has shown no signs of revitalizing the series. We've known that it would come to consoles and PC, but the Game Pass detail is new.

Why you may have to wait longer to check out an e-book from your local library
OverDrive Libby App

On November 26, the third book in Nora Roberts’ Chronicles of The One, The Rise of Magicks, will be published. But fans who want to download the e-book from their local library could be frustrated by long waits. And it’s not just the romance writer’s books that will be affected. 

Macmillan, which publishes the series, is only allowing library systems around the country to purchase a single e-book of newly published titles for all their branches. Eight weeks after new books launch, libraries will be able to buy more. In the interim, Helen Gutierrez expects a lot of annoyed patrons at Seattle Public Library (SPL), where she’s the collection services manager.
