Is Starfield delayed or not?
Let’s just cut to the chase. Is Starfield delayed? Officially, no. And to be fair to Microsoft and Bethesda Game Studios, they already told us we wouldn’t be hearing anything out of Todd Howard’s next epic role-playing game during Wednesday’s Developer Direct showcase. There’s going to be a stand-alone showcase for Starfield at some point. It’s still one hell of an elephant not in the room, especially if two of the four games shown — Redfall and The Elder Scrolls Online’s Necrom expansion — are big Bethesda projects launching in May and June, respectively.

Let the (16k) games begin!
I used to stop outside the record shop on the way to school or out in town on the weekends and flick through the cassette tapes that were lined up in those tall carousels they use to sell postcards in the street. The cassettes I was interested in didn’t have music on them, but Spectrum computer games. I looked through every one to see one piece of information before I got too excited.

The 240Hz OLED gaming displays are coming
CES 2023 is now just days away, and there’s already a standout category that we’re particularly excited about: 240Hz OLED gaming monitors. Generally speaking, OLED panels can achieve better picture quality and a faster response time than their LED or IPS equivalents but have historically lacked the ability to match them in providing high-refresh rates. There have been some exceptions — such as the Alienware AW3423DW, a QD-OLED running at 175Hz — but now, OLED gaming displays have finally achieved the optimal 240Hz refresh rate prized by gamers who specialize in eSports and FPS titles.
