Editorial Leadership & Who We Are

Gamersuniverse.eu is an independent international gaming and entertainment publication based in Austria and led by Founder & Editor-in-Chief Noah Frank-Hotinczan (Noah Frank):

Our editorial coverage focuses on practical PC and console best-settings guides (PC, PlayStation 5, PS5 Pro, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and Steam Deck), technical performance breakdowns, deep story and lore explainers, verified release trackers, and honest game, movie, and TV series reviews.

How We Test PC & Console Settings

Players do not read a settings guide for generic presets. They want to know which individual graphics toggles actually cost frames and which ones can be lowered without hurting image quality. When building our PC and console settings guides, we evaluate settings based on the real balance between visual fidelity, frame-time stability, and framerate:

• Per-Setting FPS Impact: We focus on the heaviest performance hitters in modern engines (such as Volumetric Fog and Clouds, Ray Tracing / Path Tracing, Shadow Resolution, Screen-Space Reflections, Crowd Density, and Shader Compilation behavior).
• Upscaling, Frame Generation & Display Modes: We cover NVIDIA DLSS, AMD FSR, Intel XeSS, and PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR), alongside 60 FPS / 120Hz / VRR console modes, FOV sliders, and controller deadzone tuning.
• Three Practical Profiles: Our guides separate recommendations into Competitive / High FPS, Balanced / Quality, and Console & Handheld (PS5, PS5 Pro, Xbox Series X|S, Switch 2, Steam Deck).
• Strict Benchmark Honesty: Whenever launch-window system requirements, patch details, or platform-specific measurements come from official studio patch notes, developer technical briefings, or verified community testing, we cite the source explicitly in the article. We never fabricate internal benchmark numbers.

Sources, Fact-Checking & Image Attribution

Every news story, lore breakdown, and guide on Gamersuniverse.eu follows a primary-source-first rule: we verify release dates, patch changes, and quotes directly against official developer blogs, patch notes, Steam/PlayStation/Xbox store pages, box-office trackers, and official press releases. Unconfirmed leaks, datamines, or community rumors are always clearly labeled as speculation or unconfirmed in both the headline and the body text.

For visual assets, we exclusively use official publisher press kits, official storefront screenshots, official trailers, or licensed/free media, never uncredited images scraped from competing publications, and credit the rights holder underneath every image with Picture Source: ….

Our Policy on AI & Editorial Oversight

We believe in full transparency about how our articles are produced: our editorial team uses modern digital research, translation, and editorial tools (including AI-assisted workflows) to help structure complex data tables, cross-check multilingual sources, and support editing. However, every topic selection, factual verification, critical opinion, and final publication decision is subject to 100% human oversight and final editing by Editor-in-Chief Noah Frank-Hotinczan. We strictly reject unverified automated mass content.

Review Policy, Ethics & Independence

Our editorial judgment is strictly separated from commercial operations:

• No Paid Scores or Recommendations: Advertising, sponsorships, media partnerships, or affiliate links (marked with rel="sponsored nofollow") never influence whether we cover a game or how we score it.
• Review Copy Disclosure: If a publisher or PR agency provides a pre-release or post-release review key, press screening, or hardware sample, we disclose that fact transparently in the review. A provided review copy never guarantees positive coverage.
• Clear Labeling of Advertising: Any sponsored content, paid placement, or commercial partnership is clearly marked as advertising. Full legal and affiliate disclosures are available on our Imprint, Privacy Policy & Disclosures page.

Corrections & Update Policy

Live-service games and modern releases evolve constantly through patches. When a major update (such as Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.5, Dune: Awakening Update 1.5, or The Blood of Dawnwalker Update 1.1) changes mechanics, quests, or settings, we update our existing guide at its original URL so readers always find current information.

If you spot a factual error, an outdated stat, or a broken link in any of our articles, please notify Editor-in-Chief Noah Frank-Hotinczan directly at contact@gamersuniverse.eu or via our Contact Us page. Verified corrections are applied promptly and transparently.

Our Founding Mission & Community Philosophy

Gaming is our passion – enthusiasm – more than a hobby – our passion for those who tick like us and love to play games, Gamersuniverse stands for information – news – reviews, and much more…

Information about the principles of our editorial independence.

Our mission: We support you in getting the most out of your gaming experience.

Editorially independent and with the highest possible journalistic quality standards.

We report critically, fairly, and constructively, always with the aim of advising, informing, and entertaining you to the best of our ability, sometimes with a wink and a bit of self-irony.

Relevance: The more of you are interested in a topic, the more likely we are to report on it. Analysis tools and your direct feedback help us with this.

We always strive for the best possible contacts with game developers, manufacturers, and the community. Being up-to-date means being on the pulse of the times. Depending on relevance, we decide which contribution to create. Our motto is not just to be as fast as possible, but to represent as much background knowledge and the opinions of gamers as possible for you.

When we use external sources for our articles and videos, we check them for credibility beforehand and transparently refer to the respective producer.

We actively search for the best information for you. Our experiences as active, passionate gamers are incorporated into our articles and game reviews.

We question information from press releases, press events, and gaming trade fairs with the necessary care.

At our networking events, we are the catalyst for allowing game manufacturers, developers, story writers, etc. to have direct conversations with the gaming community and to incorporate their wishes and suggestions into their projects.

Gamersuniverse as a media partner for events.

We have extensive equipment to realize live streams at gaming events in the highest quality.

We only enter into media partnerships if we believe it is relevant to our community and brings added value to all involved. These partnerships can include both reporting and advertisements, which are labeled accordingly. Any considerations, such as a booth at the event or ticket giveaways, will be declared accordingly.

We cannot test every game but must make a preselection based on the relevance of a topic. As a young medium, we rely on receiving test games/access.

We have comprehensive background knowledge about games and their development. We understand how games are created and how they work.

We give you the greatest possible insight into the gaming world of our Gamersuniverse.
