Phasmophobia set to overhaul in-game content in its "biggest update yet"

Kinetic Games has announced that Phasmophobia will be receiving its “biggest update yet” on August 17, which plans to target and refresh a huge number of in-game items and locations for a better user experience. 

Phasmophobia: Ascension, or Progression 2.0 as it’s also titled, plans to alter almost everything about the game. Aside from a general revamp of things like the truck you arrive in and character and ghost animations, there is a mass of new content being added to keep the game just as chilling. New evidence will be introduced, fresh locations are being added, and several new ghost types will make their way into the game, to name a few changes we can expect. 

In addition, an entirely new levelling system is being introduced to help make progress feel more rewarding. Equipment will be expanded across a tier system which you will need to level up during your playthrough. 

Between loadouts and successful hunting, you will need to upgrade your equipment across three tiers to make your missions more efficient. Because of this, equipment will also have capabilities restricted or enhanced depending on which tier you’re working with, resulting in the total number of equipment increasing from 20 to 60. 

The sheer scale of the update also means that any progress will be reset once the update is ruled out, so even well-seasoned ghost hunters will be taken back to level one. For those who have spent hours in the game unlocking new areas, fret not, as you will still be able to access any locations or difficulties you’ve unlocked in the previous version of the game, alongside receiving a badge to reflect where you left off prior to the update.

The full patch notes of the update are yet to be released, but the information we do have regarding the update suggests that there are a lot of key changes planned to shake up the experience while still maintaining the core mechanics of ghost hunting with your friends to make things even spookier. 

This new update might help Phasmophobia fall among the best horror games, but if you’re looking for a more friendly multiplayer experience, our list of best co-op games might offer some more approachable titles to share with your friends.

The latest Apple TV 4K test lets you watch four sports streams at once

Apple is trying something new with the latest beta version of tvOS 16.5: the option to watch up to four simultaneous streams at once. Right now it's limited to live sports streamed through the Apple TV app on the Apple TV 4K , specifically MLB Friday Night Baseball and the MLS Season Pass. A multi-view option was spotted in the tvOS software last month, but the code was hidden and not enabled. MacRumors reported that the feature would be enabled this weekend, and beta testers have since been able to use it. As yet multi-view hasn't been officially announced by Apple, but it's expected that tvOS 16.5 is going to be pushed out in its final form within the next month or so. WWDC 2023 is around the corner as well, when we should be hearing about the next major updates for Apple's various operating systems – including tvOS 17. How it works Over at 9to5Mac there's a hands-on demonstrating how the multi-view feature works, and it's pretty much as you would expe...

Quantum computers are fast becoming cheaper and smaller — and they could be coming to a data center near you very soon

IonQ claims we’re closer to widespread enterprise quantum computing deployment as it lifted the lid on two rack-mounted models that can be deployed on-premises.   The startup has built the fourth-generation #AQ35 IonQ Forte Enterprise and fifth-generation #AQ64 IonQ Tempo, both of which are designed to be deployed in enterprise and government data centers. It’s also said it is deploying two quantum computers to the US Air Force.  While revealing these two models, IonQ co-founder and CTO Jungsang Kim said quantum computers are already in use by enterprises to churn through machine learning workloads. This, he added, suggests we’re much closer to readily available and affordable machines. Priming enterprises for a quantum future “We believe in the enterprise-grade quantum computing, which is where it can be something of value for enterprises, can happen in the next few years as we build powerful enough quantum computers that can actually do things that classical computers w...

Nvidia RTX 4080 GPU could get cheaper with a new version – but don’t get your hopes up

Nvidia’s RTX 4080 is purportedly getting a new spin on the GPU which could reduce the cost, but any price reduction will likely be very minor, sadly, if it happens at all. Tom’s Hardware flagged up this rumor – and treat it with caution, as with anything from the ever-spinning mill – that originated from HKEPC (a tech site in Hong Kong), claiming that while the current RTX 4080 graphics card is built on the AD103-300 chip, Nvidia is going to use a slightly different GPU in the future, namely AD103-301. There’s now more evidence this is actually happening, Tom’s points out, courtesy of a graphics card maker, Galax, which under its RTX 4080 product details lists the GPU as ‘AD103-300/301’. Furthermore, VideoCardz , which also picked up on this, informs us that Gainward, another card maker, has also listed the updated GPU variant AD103-301 in its product specs. With two separate third-party graphics card makers mentioning this new spin on the GPU in their specs, it seems pret...
