Games like Monster Hunter Wilds, Star Wars Outlaws, and Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown have system requirements that make you question why performance is so hard to achieve on high-end hardware. Are game studios just cutting corners, or is this the new norm in game development? I'll be sharing benchmarks, discussing why these technologies are no substitute for good optimization, and offering my thoughts on what this means for the future of PC gaming. L
