Epic Games’ Unreal Engine 5 lets anyone create 3D worlds easily for games, virtual sets, and more. But Mac users needed Rosetta technology to run it, until now, that is. Mac users can finally run it natively on Apple Silicon with the new 5.2 update, boosting performance on M1 and M2 Macs.

Fortnite's new cyberpunk-themed "Mega" season is coming on Friday. But if you're playing on the PC, you'll need to have a Windows 10 machine. Epic Games already announced in December that it planned to drop support for older Windows versions. And it looks like the change happens today. If you are on Windows 7 or 8 and want to try out the "Mega" season, Epic recommends using NVIDIA's GeForce Now cloud gaming service.

A Quebec judge is allowing parents to pursue a class-action suit against Epic Games for making Fortnite too "addictive." Quebec Superior Court Justice Sylvain Lussier has authorized a lawsuit originally filed in 2019 against the game developer, alleging Fortnite is so addictive it was causing real-life problems.
The parents of three children who spent thousands of dollars playing the game say it has caused their kids psychological, financial, and physical harm. They claim their kids spent hundreds of dollars on its in-game currency (called V-Bucks), sometimes without their knowledge. They also said the children would have "panic attacks" over Fortnite, with one of the kids frequently playing until 3 AM playing over 7,781 hours of the game in less than two years. Another is said to have played 59,954. Calex, the firm representing the parents, cited addiction specialist Anita Ghadia-Smith who compared the game to cocaine.
