The LG G Watch R will launch tomorrow in South Korea, but only a local online retailer who made a special deal with LG will be able to sell it so soon. LG’s latest smartwatch will actually only go on sale in the country on October 14th, which means that all the other retailers must wait one more week before they can offer it. Pricing has already been revealed and it turns out that the LG G Watch R will be a bit more expensive than its predecessor, the LG G Watch. The former will be priced at no less than KRW 352,000 (around $332 USD), while the latter currently goes for KRW 270,000 (around $250 USD).

Pricing and availability for other regions have not been announced yet, but we’re bound to hear something regarding the matter in the coming days or weeks. The LG G Watch R is a circular smartwatch that features a 1.3-inch P-OLED display with 320 x 320 pixel resolution. Hardware-wise, LG’s latest wearable device comes equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor clocked at 1.2 GHz, 512 MB of RAM, 4 GB internal storage memory and a 410 mAh battery that’s expected to last between a day and a half and two days. The LG G Watch R is also IP67 certified, which means that it’s waterproof.

Meanwhile, LG is preparing to launch yet another smartwatch in the near future and the device has already passed by the FCC. Very little is known about the smartwatch at this time, but an FCC document does reveal that it has an elliptical shape and the model number VC100. We also know that the device measures 57.7 mm x 35.5 mm and might feature a built-in SIM card with CDMA network support. The LG VC100 is expected to launch later this year or in early 2015 and will apparently head to Verzion as soon as it does.

Belgian developer Larian Studios’ work on Baldur’s Gate 3’s Xbox Series S version will improve performance on all platforms, including PS5. The game’s fifth major patch, expected to launch this week, will include upgrades and new features. More details will be revealed later today.

Director of Publishing Michael Douse says PS5 performance improvements may be the “least exciting thing” in the title’s next update, so it sounds like a big one. Larian Studios employees are proud of “finally” implementing tweaks, fixes, and changes, Douse says. Later today, we’ll bring you all the Baldur’s Gate 3 update details.

Those who reached the RPG’s third act have reported technical issues during the narrative’s conclusion, especially in co-op, so today’s update should fix them. New features like a permadeath mode are expected, along with Xbox Series S optimization fixes. What else should be added to the game?

PC Mounts Show PlayStation Trophy Support

We love the PlayStation ecosystem, especially its top first-party studios, but Sony Interactive Entertainment could do more to build goodwill. The long-awaited Trophy support for PS5 games on PC appears to be closer to reality, though nothing official has been announced.

TrueTrophie’s scanners found a new PS5 Trophy list with “PSPC” as a platform. The list, titled “Trophy Set” and unattached to a game, appears to be a test. TrueTrophies notes that developers rarely submit their own platforms to PSN, suggesting Sony is behind it.

TrueTrophies says this platform is separate from PS5 but can connect to it, suggesting compatibility. As PlayStation fans know, PS4, PS Vita, and PS3 games could share a list. In October 2022, Sony added PSN support to Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered’s PC release, allowing players to link Steam accounts to unlock an exclusive skin. Potentially minor, but something we’ll watch.

TrueTrophies lists PlayStation Trophies for serious hunters. They scrape the PlayStation Network’s ominous underbelly with scanners to provide the most up-to-date trophy lists, sometimes dangerously. TrueTrophies posted Marvel’s Spider-Man 2’s trophy list weeks ago, with spoiler titles.

No worries, PS5 Slim SSD upgrades are possible

Next month, the PS5 Slim will replace the original PS5. Its main selling point is its detachable disc drive. Sony’s design change will streamline manufacturing, but consumers will have more flexibility. The refreshed machine will be 30% smaller than its predecessor, reducing its footprint.

But since the manufacturer hadn’t mentioned it, some worried you couldn’t install another SSD. A spokesperson told IGN that “there are no changes with the new model”—you can still install a compatible hard drive to expand the console’s storage.

Note that the new model increases on-board storage from 825GB to 1TB, so you get more space out of the box. However, some games are now so large that you may need a new PS5 SSD.
