Remnant 2 devs "have plans for the grinders"

Remnant 2 is, in many ways, exactly what I wanted from a sequel to Gunfire Games's fantastic co-op game. The world and art design is gorgeous, the shooting feels sublime, and there's all manner of builds to craft with all the Remnant 2 Traits, Relics, and Mods on offer. I'm just a few hours in, but I can already see myself playing Remnant 2 for hundreds of hours as I did with the first. Fortunately, the team is already addressing concerns about its endgame grind, and whether certain restrictions might discourage long-term play.

Remnant 2 GPU performance isn't great, even with an Nvidia RTX 4090

It appears that Remnant 2 is yet another PC port to release this year with subpar optimization, with budget and flagship graphics cards alike pushing out surprisingly low frame rates. Even the mighty Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 appears to struggle running Remnant 2 well, for no readily apparent reason.

Remnant 2 dev says the game is "designed" with upscalers in mind

While Remnant 2 looks to be a fun but challenging time for those looking for a Soulslike co-op game, but the optimization and performance of the game is unfortunately causing concern among its early access player base. In response, developer Gunfire Games has offered some troubleshooting advice, highlighting that upscaling technologies in Remnant 2 like Nvidia DLSS are more or less integral to achieving the best performance.

Remnant 2 sets Steam record as series enters the big leagues

Remnant 2 has officially graduated from a niche game to a big deal. The game is now Steam's second-best selling game, beating every other game with the exception of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.

The game managed to climb 14 spots on the same list in its week of release. This is an even more impressive milestone considering Steam's top sellers list is based on revenue, not units sold. That is why CS:GO remains in the lead despite being a free-to-play game.

Remnant 2 is not a full-price game. Instead, it has three editions that start at $50 up to $70 - which is becoming the base price of many modern games, even on PC.
