Starlink: Battle for Atlas to release on PC, Switch version to receive exclusive Star Fox DLC

​


Ubisoft is bringing their space-faring adventure game Starlink: Battle for Atlas to the PC this month, as announced by the company today. The game will also be getting a content updated titled Crimson Moon, which add new racing tracks and the Crimson Coliseum, where players can fight tons of enemies wave after wave. While all versions of the game on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PC, and Nintendo Switch will get this update, the Switch will get its own exclusive bonus content. Peppy, Falco, and Slippy will be added to the game as playable characters, in a mission where they must fight against the Star Wolf team. The Crimson Moon update will be available on April 30th, alongside the the PC port. Meanwhile the Star Fox characters will launch the same day, as paid DLC which will cost $11.99.

Not possible due to the architectures between the Switch and x86 PC. And not to mention the .EXE file.

It dosent mean some crafty modders wont rip the assets from the switch version and mod it into the pc version. It will probably take years to complete assuming the pc version supports modding, longer if it dosen't.

Never underestimate the pc modding community they come out with some truly amazing stuff.

Yeah, you got a point. I've been active in the GTA modding community for 10 years and I get confused between the types of modders lol. Some are interested in the coding parts and others in 3D assets. But that's why I love the PC gaming, there is no limit, the only limit is the imaginations and or being creative. And of course: keyboard+mouse. I really really suck with controllers.

Serious question: Is this actually worth playing? I don't want to buy the toys... I never got into the whole toys to life fad. But I am mildly interested in the game.

Well, if you don't want to bother with the toys on console, you could always get the digital version. The digital and digital deluxe versions of the game give you ships, pilots and weapons, plus no matter what version you get, you can always buy new characters/ships/weapons digitally over the eshop/psn/Xbox store.

Also, if you want to play on pc, all of it's content will be digital only.

While playing the game, you can always swap characters by going into menu, and while it's not as fast as swapping something physically, it takes up no space.

Other than that, it's a pretty decent game. My only complaints are that after a while grinding can get annoying, and the worlds can get a bit boring in time as well, but everything else about the game is great.

(I bought the digital deluxe version for switch.)

it shouldn't even take years, months maybe if you get a determined modding team.
modders make full total conversion mods with new assets, audio etc. in years.
for this, they have assets as a starting point, audio, etc.
so really it comes down to putting it together and they will have non-exclusive DLC to compare file structures of to figure out those differences.

the problem I see is any modding team looking to do that would likely get a cease and desist just like other teams who used old assets like we've seen with skyrim and GTA mods in the past.

    both of which work well in potplayer
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    amd is a bit cheaper though
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Cheaper and they are less stingy with the RAM not a big issue now but I can imagine in a yard or two things might be different
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Year not yard lol

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the vram is one advantage when it comes to AI but ends up being slower even with that and really AI is the only use case that needs more than 12gb vram right now
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Interesting lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think I watched a video where two games at 4K where eating just over 16GB of RAM and it's the one case where the 7900XT and XTX pulled ahead (minus RTX of course)
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    So my opinion is that they could age a bit better in the future, and maybe AMD will continue improving them via drivers like they tend to do. No guarantee there but they have done it in the past. Just a feeling I have.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    cyberpunk at 4k without DLSS/fidelityfx *might* exceed 12gb
     +1
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that game barely runs at native 4k
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think it was some newer games and probably poorly optimized PS4 or PS5 ports
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    they definitely will age better but i feel dlss might outweigh that since it looks about as good as native resolution and much less demanding
     +1
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    When I played Cyberpunk on my old 2080 Ti it sucked lol
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    AMD could introduce something comparable to DLSS but nvidia's got a lot more experience with that
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    least amd 7xxx has tensor cores which the previous generations didn't so there is the potential for AI upscaling
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They have FSR or whatever it's called and yeah it's still not great
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so AMD seem to finally be starting to take AI seriously
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Oh yeah those new 8000 CPUs have AI cores built in that's interesting
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Maybe they plan on offloading to the CPU?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Would be kinda cool to have the CPU and GPU working in random more
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Tandem even
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think i heard of that, it's a good idea, shouldn't need a dedicated GPU just to run a LLM or video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the nvidia shield tv has AI video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    LLMs can be run on cpu anyway but it's quite slow
