Samson's second update continues to swat serious bugs, and its street races have been tweaked into ideal day-ending money-makers

Liquid Swords continue to chip away at the biggest issues Samson, their bitesize tale of a small-time crim pulling jobs to gradually remove the debt albatross from his neck, has faced since it launched the other week in a state the ranged from harmlessly quirky to frustratingly broken. The second of these patches picks up the first's problem-eliminating baton, but also sees the devs start to make some more in-depth tweaks to mechanics that work fine, but leave a bit to be desired.

Rockstar don't seem bothered by the leak, with one representative calling it "a limited amount of non-material company information", and the alleged secret titbits now in circulation certainly aren't on the same scale as the infamous 2022 leak of WIP footage from GTA 6. Still, there are some interesting gobbets in there. One is

With DLSS 5, Nvidia look to rewrite the truth before our eyes

Earlier this year Nvidia announced DLSS 5, a new version of their DLSS technology: a layer of graphical magic that uses their GPUs to do improbable things to the resolution and framerate of your favourite PC games (unless your favourite PC game is Slay the Spire).
