Deliver Us Mars is the latest free Epic Games Store title on offer this week

The next batch of free Epic Games Store titles has been revealed and it includes the sci-fi adventure game Deliver Us Mars.

Starting today (November 24) through to November 30, users can claim KeokeN Interactive's Deliver Us Mars free of charge instead of its usual $31.50 (£24.99) full price.

Deliver Us Mars is the sequel to the award-winning Deliver Us The Moon, an atmospheric third-person adventure "offering an immersive astronaut experience." In this game, the player will explore new frontiers on a suspense-fuelled, high-stakes mission to recover the ARK colony ships stolen by the mysterious Outward.

From November 30 to December 7, Deliver Us Mars will be replaced by Jitsu Squad and Mighty Fight Federation, two colorful fighting games that both released in 2022.

Jitsu Squad is a Marvel vs Capcom-inspired four-player co-op tag team beat ‘em up with epic character transformations and fast-paced combat, featuring a roster of playable characters, and special abilities that can be executed as powerful combos. 

Developer Tanuki Creative Studio also likens the game to other popular games in the genre, like Dragonball FighterZ and Super Smash Bros.

Komi Games' Mighty Fight Federation may be just as hectic as Jitsu Squad, but this fighting game features a competitive twist on the party-fighter genre and has 1v1 matches, team fights, and a free-for-all with up to 14 characters to choose from.

The game is a " throwback to classic 3D arena fighters, but with a focus on fighting game fundamentals" allowing players to utilize "hype mechanics to zone, evade, counter and play mind-games with your opponents."

Earlier this month, Epic Games admitted during the Epic vs. Google court case on November 6 that its digital storefront still isn't profitable after launching five years ago.  

Epic Games Store boss Steve Allison said on the witness stand that the digital PC store isn't profitable despite its debut in December 2018 but said that the company's "goal" is still "growth."

Windows Copilot leak suggests deeper assimilation with Windows 11 features

Key Windows 11 features may soon be customizable as Microsoft further integrates its Windows Copilot AI assistant into the operating system. This tidbit comes from tech news site Windows Latest , which claims to have discovered new .json (JavaScript Object Notation) files within recent preview builds of Windows 11. These files apparently hint at future upgrades for the desktop AI assistant. For example, a “TaskManagerService-ai-plugin.json” was found which is supposedly a “plugin for Task Manager integration”. If this ever comes out, it could give users the ability to “monitor or close running apps using” Copilot. In total, six are currently tested and they affect various aspects of Windows 11. Next, there is an “AccessbilityTools-ai-plugin.json” that gives Copilot a way to “control accessibility [tools]. This would make it "easier for those with [a] disability to navigate through the system.” Third is “ai-plugin-WindowsSettings.json” for controlling important Windows 11 set...

Samsung's ViewFinity S9 may be the monitor creatives have been searching for

Originally revealed during CES 2023 , Samsung has finally launched its ViewFinity S9 5K monitor after nine long months of waiting.  According to the announcement, the ViewFinity S9 is the company’s first-ever 5K resolution (5,120 x 2880 pixels) IPS display aimed primarily at creatives. IPS stands for in-plane switching , a form of LED tech offering some of the best color output and viewing angles on the market. This quality is highlighted by the fact that the 27-inch screen supports 99 percent of the DCI-P3 color gamut plus delivers 600 nits of brightness.  Altogether, these deliver great picture quality made vibrant by saturated colors and dark shadows. The cherry on top for the ViewFinity S9 is a Matte Display coating to “drastically [reduce] light reflections.”  As a direct rival to the Apple Studio Display , the monitor is an alternative for creative professionals looking for options. It appears Samsung has done its homework as the ViewFinity S9 addresses some of...
