Activision has announced that the Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 multiplayer beta will hit the PC on August 26. That's side-by-side with the Xbox One beta, but a week behind the PlayStation 4.
BioWare has released a free version of its role-playing game Dragon Age: Inquisition on PC.
Available now publisher Electronic Arts' Origin platform is a free trial that lets you play the open-world RPG's single-player campaign for a period of six hours.
If after the six hours are up you decide to buy the full game, your progress will thankfully carry forward.
Multiplayer, however, is "unlimited," according to theproduct page. Free trial players can also download Inquisition's free multiplayer packs and even play with people who own the paid game.
Head to Inquisition's Origin page here to get started.
Looking ahead, BioWare has teased that even more single-player DLC for Dragon Age: Inquisition may be in the works--but not for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. This hasn't been announced yet, but BioWare continuing to support the commercially successful game wouldn't be a very surprising development.
Grand Theft Auto V PC players are reporting frame rate issues following the game's 1.28 title update.
Reports of the issues first surfaced in a much-upvoted post on Rockstar Games' support site.
Rockstar has now responded by stating, "We have received reports of lower frame rate in GTA V and GTA Online after Title Update 1.28 on PC, and we are looking into these reports now."
The update--which introduced new cars, guns, clothes, and more upon its release last week--has sparked complaints on the r/Games subreddit.
In a Facebook post, creators of the popular GTA V mod LCPD First Response said the sources of the problems were side-effects of new anti-modding measures, allegedly introduced by Rockstar in the recent 1.28 patch.
As major technical issues with the PC version of Batman: Arkham Knight continue to persist, publisher Warner Bros. has announced that the game's first story expansion, A Matter of Family, has been delayed for computers. The content remains on schedule to launch on July 14 for Xbox One and PlayStation 4, but the PC version is now expected sometime later, Warner Bros. said in a forum post.
"Our continued focus on getting the right PC fixes in place for the main game has had an impact on the development of all DLC content for the PC version of the game," the company said. "This means that the Batman: Arkham Knight--Batgirl: A Matter of Family DLC will not be available on July 14 for those who are currently playing the PC version of the game."
"We apologize for the delay and only want to make sure that any content that we offer is up to the standards that PC players expect."
