Steam has two new deals and the weeklong deals... which is curious given that the Summer Sale will start this Thursday. Anyway:

• The daily deal is ATOM RPG Trudograd, still in Early Access and 25% off: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1139940/ATOM_RPG_Trudograd/
• Predator: Hunting Grounds is 50% off until Thursday: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1556200/Predator_Hunting_Grounds/
• ... Normally you'd expect to see a small sample of those weeklong deals in here, but 1) there are so little of them; 2) very, very few of them have enough reviews to know if they're good or not; 3) and a lot of them have the same theme. Because of that, it's better that you take a look by yourselves.

• The Mortal Kombat Franchise Sale comes with up to 80% discounts during the next 3 days: https://www.humblebundle.com/store/promo/mortal-kombat-franchise-sale/

Digital Dreams has shared a new video, showcasing Grand Theft Auto 5 running in 8K on an NVIDIA RTX 3090. Alongside the QuantV and GTA5 Real Life Pack, Digital Dreams also used Ray Tracing Reshade in order to enhance the game’s visuals. The end result is what we’d expect from a new remaster of GTA5 for current-gen systems.
Now the good news here is that QuantV is available for free, and you can download it from here. As for Raytracing Reshade, you can gain access to it by supporting Pascal “Marty McFly” Gilcher on Patreon. GTA5 Real Life Pack adds real-life cars and objects, so you can basically skip that mod.
