Phantom Blade Zero is finally here, bringing its slick martial arts combat and striking kungfupunk world to PC. If you’re worried that your PC can’t run it, Nvidia has a cloud solution. The game is joining GeForce NOW at launch, allowing players to experience S-GAME’s ambitious action RPG without investing in expensive new hardware.

The announcement is part of Nvidia’s latest GFN Thursday update, which brings nine games to its cloud gaming service this week, alongside modding support for two popular RPGs and new subscription options for players in India.

Fancy graphics without the expensive hardware

With Phantom Blade Zero arriving on GeForce NOW, players can stream the game directly to supported laptops, desktops, smartphones, and other compatible devices. There’s no need to download the game locally. But keep in mind that players still need access to a copy through a supported storefront.

Ultimate subscribers can also tap into RTX 5080-class cloud performance on supported servers, giving them access to high-end PC gaming capabilities without needing an actual RTX 5080 in their system. This is great for people trying to experience AAA-titles like Phantom Blade Zero, which bring cinematic sword fights, elaborate animations, and fast-paced combat in a dark fantasy setting inspired by Chinese martial arts.

A new special edition console from Microsoft isn't something new. Over the years, Xbox consoles have been a part of plenty of limited-edition collaborations, including a controller modeled after Deadpool's backside. But its latest creation just takes the cake.

Microsoft has stuffed an entire Xbox Series X inside a giant alligator, and the fun part is that you could take this monstrosity home. Meet the new Xbox Series X-BITE, a one-of-a-kind console that looks like an alligator swallowed Microsoft's gaming hardware whole. According to Xbox's official announcement, the bizarre creation is part of a special giveaway celebrating the company's upcoming trip to Florida.

Steam has apparently been struggling to keep up with new game submissions. Developers have been forced to wait longer to get their games approved, which has caused Valve to step in to fix things. The company is putting stricter release requirements in place, including one which is absolutely hilarious. Valve needs developers to play their games through Steam before submitting them for review.

In an official Steamworks announcement, Valve acknowledged that a significant increase in game and store page submissions has overwhelmed its review process. The company typically aims to complete game build reviews within three to five days. However, some are now taking up to 12 business days, with repeated reviews contributing heavily to the backlog.
