Baldur's Gate 3 wins all major Game of the Year awards. I also discuss the latest patch for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, and the benchmark for the Dawntrail expansion of FFXIV will release soon.

đŸ“ē Final Fantasy XIV Dawntrail Benchmark's Release Date Announced

Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail Benchmark will be released on 14 April 2024, at midnight PDT (8 a.m. in the UK). This tool is crucial for players looking to assess their systems ahead of the Dawntrail expansion, set to launch on 2 July 2024. It's designed to help you determine if your computer can handle the latest graphical updates in this immersive expansion. What's your preferred job class in Final Fantasy XIV? Feel free to share in the comments! For a sneak peek, check out the Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail Benchmark Trailer on YouTube.

đŸ“ē Quality of Life Comes to Final Fantasy VII Rebirth

Square Enix has rolled out a significant update for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. Not only does it rectify a bug that hindered players from achieving the Platinum Trophy, but it also enhances the battle retry menu. This fix addresses user feedback where the phrase "Retry this battle" misleadingly caused players to restart the entire final boss fight. The updated menu now clearly indicates the option to retry the current phase instead, a much-needed clarification for gamers battling through the game's climactic encounters. A performance patch is also reportedly in development. Curious about the details? Read more on IGN's coverage of the Final Fantasy VII Rebirth patch.

đŸ“ē Baldur's Gate 3 Achieves Unprecedented Game of the Year Sweep

In an extraordinary feat, Baldur's Gate 3 has swept the Game of the Year awards across all five major ceremonies: the Golden Joysticks, BAFTA Game Awards, Game Developers Choice, DICE awards, and The Game Awards. This makes it the first game to win top honors at every major gaming award show since these events began. With such a monumental achievement, Larian Studios has announced that they will be moving on from the franchise. What are your thoughts on Baldur's Gate 3's legacy and impact?
