SALES/PLAYER COUNTS & DEALS

The Witcher 3 sold another 5 million copies over the last year: 'This cements its place among the best-selling videogames in history'
https://www.pcgamer.com/games/the-witcher/the-witcher-3-sold-another-5-million-copies-over-the-last-year-this-cements-its-place-among-the-best-selling-videogames-in-history/
Here's a nice little bit of trivia to carry you into your weekend: Amidst all the hullabaloo about the surprise Witcher 3 expansion Songs of the Past that was announced earlier this week, CD Projekt also revealed that Geralt's big(gest) adventure has now surpassed 65 million copies sold.
"The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, which recently celebrated its 11th anniversary, has just crossed another spectacular sales threshold: 65 million copies," CD Projekt chief financial officer Piotr Nielubowicz said in the studio's financial results commentary. "This cements its place among the best-selling videogames in history."
(...)
What makes the accomplishment even more notable is the relentlessness of its advance. The Witcher 3 hit 20 million copies sold in 2019, four years after its release—an average of five million copies per year. Four years after that, it achieved 50 million copies, running the average up to a little over six million per year since launch. In 2025 it hit 60 million copies sold—another five million per year out the door—and now, one year later, five million more copies are in the book.

GOG starts the week with four sales/promos:

Steam has new deals and sales/events:

There are two new deals at Humble:

And at Fanatical we find these:

New Zelda: Ocarina of Time Unreal Engine 5.7.4 Fan Remake Released
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/new-zelda-ocarina-of-time-unreal-engine-5-7-4-fan-remake-released/
CryZENx has released a brand new demo for his amazing fan remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time in Unreal Engine 5.7.4. So, if you are a die-hard Zelda fan, I highly recommend downloading it and trying it.
This new tech demo focuses on the “Inside Jabu-Jabu’s Belly” quest. This quest takes Link inside the fishlike beast known as Jabu-Jabu. Players will be able to explore the insides of the beast and fight some enemies. They will also be able to fight a boss at the end of it.
As I’ve said before, this is one of the best fan remakes. Contrary to most we’ve shared, this one has proper gameplay mechanics. Some may not like the artistic direction of this remake. However, it’s pretty impressive what CryZENx has been able to create during these past years.
Since the demo uses UE5.7.4, it should run better than the previous demos. Unreal Engine 5.7.4 has brought numerous improvements to Lumen and Ray Tracing. It also packed a number of CPU optimizations. So, in a way, you can get a taste of what this new version of UE5 can offer. However, this fan tech demo is not 100% representative of what UE5.7 is capable of. So, make sure to keep that in mind.
To get the best possible Ocarina of Time UE5 experience, I recommend downloading the other tech demos that CryZENx has released. These demos recreate different areas from the game, offering a broader look at the project. From what I’ve seen, most, if not all, of them are still available for download. You can find links to them here.
You can go ahead and download the demo from this link. Do note that this demo is locked at 30FPS. Thankfully, it supports both DLSS and FSR, and it has an option to disable Motion Blur. There is also a 60FPS demo, but it is locked behind a Patreon wall.

Someone is working on a Fallout 3 Remaster in Unreal Engine 5.7
https://www.dsogaming.com/videotrailer-news/someone-is-working-on-a-fallout-3-remaster-in-unreal-engine-5-7/
Now here is something interesting. YouTube’s ‘Julian Uccetta’ is currently porting Fallout 3 to Unreal Engine 5.7. This project aims to allow you to experience the original Fallout 3 game with the lighting benefits of Unreal Engine 5.7.
While this project is still in a very early phase, Uccetta shared a video for it. This video packs 7 minutes of gameplay footage from it. As such, it can give you a glimpse at its current state.
As I said, this project aims to port Fallout 3 to Unreal Engine 5. It does not make any changes to its in-game assets. This will most likely please some die-hard Fallout 3 fans who have been asking for something like this. Not only that, but for a one-man project, it looks mighty impressive.
From what we can see, this Fallout 3 fan remaster already features fully functional gameplay mechanics. In the video, we can see the player using the Pip-Boy, interacting with the world, opening doors, and looting items. As a result, this fan project appears to be further along in development than the UE5 fan remasters of Skyrim and Morrowind.
The YouTuber achieved this using a plugin system he has been developing called Gamebryo Unreal. The tool is designed to allow older Gamebryo-based Bethesda titles, from The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind to Fallout: New Vegas (and eventually The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and Fallout 4), to be easily ported to Unreal Engine by simply opening the project and selecting the location of the game’s data files.
It’s also worth noting that a test build is available for download. However, access to it is locked behind a Ko-fi paywall, so you’ll need to make a donation to try it. Hopefully, a free public version will be released at some point in the future.

New Starfield Mod Adds More Than 200 Hand-Placed Light Sources to Anchorpoint Station
https://www.dsogaming.com/mods/new-starfield-mod-adds-more-than-200-hand-placed-light-sources-to-anchorpoint-station/
In April 2026, we shared several mods for Starfield that added more than 2,300 hand-placed light sources across numerous cities and regions. And today, we take a look at the next entry in this lighting overhaul series. This latest mod focuses on Anchorpoint Station, significantly enhancing its lighting. So, let’s dive in.
Created by RabbitDoesStuff, this mod adds over 200+ hand-placed light sources to the Anchorpoint Station. It also adds new objects and makes some changes to create a more realistic level design.
Going into even more details, the mod enhances visibility and makes the star station less dark. It also corrects multiple light sources and overhauls walkways and vendor counters.
To prove how much better the modded version of the Anchorpoint Station looks, the modder shared a lot of comparison screenshots. As such, I’ve decided to include some of them in this article. These will give you a pretty good idea of what you can expect from the mod.

007 First Light mods are here so you can play as Lenny Kravitz, Agent 47, or a French maid
https://www.pcgamer.com/games/action/007-first-light-mods-are-here-so-you-can-play-as-lenny-kravitz-agent-47-or-a-french-maid/
IO's James Bond origin saga 007 First Light has been out for several days, and that means modders have had time to start the important work of making sure we can skip the intros, make the cutscenes run at obscene ultrawide resolutions, get rid of the HUD, and play the TacSim mode as the man who sang Are You Gonna Go My Way and American Woman.
Expanded Outfits is the mod you want for that, taking 21 of the outfits you can normally choose to use in the TacSim and reskinning them as more adventurous options. You can play as Bond in his underpants, Damien Webb in his gold mask, Miss Moneypenny, YouTube guest star JackSepticEye, Theresa Lorca in her Bond girl bikini, a familiar-looking bald assassin, and more.
You'll still have to play the campaign as vanilla James Bond, however. Give them time. I'm sure that'll be along, as well as the inevitable nude mods and Thomas the Tank Engine, soon enough.
If you were looking for them, here are those mods for higher FOV and camera, skipping the intro, toggling the HUD, and an ultrawide cutscenes fix. Read the instructions for how to install each mod, for most of them it's a simple case of copying and pasting the files into your install directory—no mod manager needed.
>> Sorry, but there’s no media about any of those mods.

This fan remake of 1999's Medal of Honor proved so popular that its creator added a level cut from the original game
https://www.pcgamer.com/games/fps/this-fan-remake-of-1999s-medal-of-honor-proved-so-popular-that-its-creator-added-a-level-cut-from-the-original-game/
EA may have given up on Medal of Honor after Respawn's ambitious yet unsuccessful VR spinoff, but there's still a strong cohort of fans of the World War 2 shooter series that laid the groundwork for Call of Duty. Only last month, a developer going by Elber88 released a ground-up remake of the very first Medal of Honor—released on PlayStation in 1999—built in Unreal Engine 4 using original game logic and assets from Medal of Honor: Allied Assault, meaning you can essentially play the series debut on PC for the very first time.
This, it turns out, has gone down very well with Medal of Honor fans. So well, in fact, that Elber decided to continue developing the remake a little further. Version 1.1 of Medal of Honor Retro Remake not only spruces up the initial release in several ways, but it also includes an extra level that was cut from the original game.
"I am glad to invite you to play the updated versions 1.1 of the remake, which to my surprise has become very popular not only among fans of the original MOH but also among ordinary players," Elber wrote on ModDB. "This inspired me to continue working in my free time and do it for the community."
Version 1.1 includes "many fixes and most of the wishes and improvements from players," though Elber doesn't go into specifics. However, Elber does provide some information on that extra level, which is set in the infamous Colditz Castle. According to the Medal of Honor wiki, this mission mostly exists in several screenshots and information in the games LEVEL.BIN files, which suggest it would have involved intelligence gathering and assassinating the castle commandant.
Elber acknowledges that the mission is based on "very limited information" and so he has understandably taken some creative license in building it. "The current implementation can be considered as my vision," he writes.
You can download the updated Medal of Honor: Retro Remake via ModDB. I played a little of the previously released version last month, and it seemed like a well-put together remake, although the absence of the original game's animations was something of a shame. Nonetheless, if you never played the pre-Allied Assault Medal of Honor games and would like to remedy that (partially) anyway, this is a decent way to do that.
