LG finally revealed the global launch dates for its response to the circular Moto 360 smartwatch. The LG G Watch R is scheduled to arrive in a number of European countries early next month, with other regions to follow shortly after. LG wasn’t too big on specifics, but mentioned that some of the countries that can expect to see the device at the beginning of November include France, Spain, Italy, and the UK. The latter will in fact be able to sell it even sooner according to UK retailer Clove who says that it will have the device in stock tomorrow. Clove presumably struck an exclusive deal with LG as the rest of the retailers in the country will only be able to sell the LG G Watch R in early November.

The Android Wear smartwatch will also make its way to “key markets” in North America, Asia and CIS (Commonwealth of Independent States) at some point following the European launch. The manufacturer said that the LG G Watch R will also arrive in the Google Play Store in the “coming weeks”. There aren’t any other details available at the moment so I guess we’ll have to wait until the device releases in Europe to learn anything else. That said, it’s pretty safe to assume that the LG G Watch R will become available in quite a number of markets by the end of the year.

LG’s first circular smartwatch comes equipped with a 1.3-inch P-OLED display with 320 x 320 pixel resolution. Hardware-wise, the LG G Watch R features a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 chipset with 1.2 GHz processor, 512 MB of RAM, 4 GB of internal storage memory and 410 mAh battery. The device also features IP67 certification and a number of useful features including heart rate monitor and barometer.

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.
