Along with some familiar MK faces Mortal Kombat 1is lining up quite the star-studded kast for its DLC, with JK Simmons set to reprise his role as Omni-Man from animated series Invincible. Simmons’ on-screen depiction of the komic-book kharacter joins John Cena’s DC Komics anti-hero Peacemaker and Antony Starr as The Boys’ Homelander, alongside some returning Mortal Kombat faces, in thefighting game’s komic-heavy Kombat Pack.

The RPS readership seemed split on the subject when we asked"Have You Played Myst?“years ago. But Humble Games leans toward the former as it’s choosing to celebrate the classic’s whopping 30th birthday with a returning charity bundle, available now until August 3rd....

The cheapest AMD GPU to come with a free copy of Starfield is this £186 RX 6600

But the RX 6650 XT at £225 is slightly better value… For context, the RX 6600 is about equal with the RTX 3060 in terms of rasterised performance, putting it within striking distance of the RTX 4060 too.
