For months now, we have heard rumours about AMD experimenting with dual 3D V-Cache designs for a new CPU. Now, AMD has quietly announced exactly that, with the new Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 Dual Edition CPU being the first chip to combine two stacks of 3D V-Cache across two CCDs. 

Intel has introduced its latest commercial client portfolio, led by the new Intel Core Ultra Series 3 processors and a pair of professional‑grade Arc Pro GPUs. The lineup targets business laptops, desktops and workstations, with a focus on efficiency, security and as you would expect in 2026, AI‑accelerated workloads.

You may have already seen our review of the new Intel Core Ultra 5 250K Plus and Core Ultra 7 270K Plus CPUs HERE, in which case you have already seen a moment from our interview with Robert Hallock, VP/GM Enthusiast Channel Business at Intel. The time has come to grab a long drink and settle back for the whole conversation and we guarantee you will learn plenty about Intel's plans in 2026 and beyond...

Valve has officially released the SteamOS 3.8.0 update to the Preview branch, and while the patch notes are extensive, one line has stood out: "Initial support for upcoming Steam Machine hardware". This confirmation comes at a critical time, following a wave of release date uncertainty due to memory shortages.

PlayStation Network is a well known brand by this point, having been used by Sony pretty much since the inception of their online platform’s launch. With the service soon to reach its 20 year mark however, it appears as though Sony is planning a big rebranding of PSN.

Kojima Productions has revealed the full list of new features coming to Death Stranding 2 tomorrow, alongside the launch of the game's PC version. On top of that, we also have confirmation on a number of PC-exclusive features too. 

Bethesda has announced plans to bring Starfield to PS5 in early April, but there is actually good news for fans on all platforms. On the same date as the PS5 release, a massive free update will be rolling out to all platforms, adding highly-requested features to the game. On top of that, a new story DLC titled Terran Armada is also dropping.

At GTC this week, Nvidia has announced DLSS 5, the next major evolution of its AI‑powered rendering technology. The company says the update marks a shift toward real‑time neural rendering, aiming to push game visuals closer to cinematic lighting and material detail. Better yet, DLSS 5 will be launching later this year.

The games industry analysts at NewZoo have revealed the top 20 most-played PC games of 2025, showing that the majority of playtime is concentrated across a select few long-running IPs like Counter Strike, Diablo, WoW, Call of Duty and more. 

One feature introduced with the Steam Deck was the notion of games being Steam Deck verified – giving users an easy indicator as to which titles should and should not run on the gaming handheld. With the upcoming Steam Machine, it appears Valve is taking a similar approach; this time offering more concrete compatibility requirements.

Resident Evil Requiem has had a massive launch so far, with the highly-anticipated title racing past 5 million copies sold within less than a week. Already a highly celebrated game, Resident Evil Requiem is set to get even better with future updates, a new story expansion DLC and more now being confirmed.

In recent days reports have claimed that Sony has pulled back on its PC strategy and no longer intends to release blockbuster single-player exclusives on Steam, impacting upcoming titles like Wolverine, Saros and Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet. According to a study, waning interest in new PlayStation PC releases could have been part of the cause. 

Microsoft has quietly announced its next-generation Xbox console, teasing exactly what we've been hearing for months in rumours - that it will be a PC hybrid with the ability to play Windows games. 

Build a Rocket Boy didn't have the best debut when MindsEye launched last year. Since then, the studio's co-CEO, Mark Gerhard, has been openly talking about an illegal sabotage effort employed against the game, going as far as saying that one "big American company" spent as much as €1 million trying to harm the studio's reputation. Now, Gerhard claims that the case is moving towards prosecution, while also announcing layoffs at the studio.

Apple has launched the MacBook Neo, a new entry‑level laptop powered by the A18 Pro chip and priced from $599, positioning it as the company’s most affordable Mac to date.

Ever since Capcom kicked off their golden era with the release of Resident Evil 7, the publisher has successfully remade most of the mainline RE entries, with more seemingly on the way. While the much-loved Resident Evil Code Veronica is reportedly next in line to be remade, known Capcom insiders have now claimed that the previously-remade Resident Evil 1 is set to receive another full-on remake.

What if BluePoint Games’ ill-fated multiplayer God of War project was able to come together and be released? What if most of Sony’s cancelled PS5 games found their way past the finish line? This is an ode to some of the live-service games we never got.

Over the past console generation, we’ve seen Sony embrace the notion of releasing some of its first-party titles to other platforms later on down the line – particularly on PC. While this has yielded some success, it seems the console maker might be going back towards exclusivity, with insiders claiming that future multi-platform releases might be limited to live-service titles.

While the Assassin’s Creed franchise is in a bit of an odd spot currently, one of the most interesting upcoming entries in the series is AC: Hexe – a somewhat unique title rumoured to be set in 16th century Europe, featuring elements of witchcraft and possibly a fear system. Unfortunately, in the wake of the recent shake-ups at Ubisoft, Assassin’s Creed Hexe’s director ‘Clint Hocking’ has left the promising project.

Xbox recently underwent a massive shake-up, confirming the retirement of long-time head Phil Spencer alongside the announcement that Xbox president Sarah Bond would be stepping down from her role. In the wake of this, Xbox’s new CEO (Asha Sharma) and COO Matt Booty sat down to discuss these latest events and what’s next for the brand.

For pretty much its entire existence, Call of Duty has operated using a familiar model, with the FPS franchise seeing a brand new title released on an annual basis from one of the 3 core COD studios. While this has worked in the past, Black Ops 7 seems to have been a breaking point for some. According to known insiders, Microsoft is now considering a major shake-up, including a standalone Zombies game.

Yesterday we published an article and accompanying video, detailing the Element Elite R prebuilt PC that we were sent by PCSpecialist. We demonstrated how the system had been built improperly, resulting in the PCIe riser cable completely blocking one of the two AIO cooler fans. We reached out to PCSpecialist with our findings and questions and have today received a full response...

Back in 2021 in the midst of an acquisition spree, Sony acquired Bluepoint Studios to bolster its first-party PlayStation game development pipeline. Now just a few years later, Sony is shutting the studio down.

Bethesda Game Studios’ Creation Engine is a bit of a double edged sword. While the first-party engine certainly has its benefits, many of BGS’ biggest failings tech-wise can be attributed (at least partially) to it. Despite previously stating that The Elder Scrolls VI would make use of Starfield’s Creation Engine 2, Todd Howard has now revealed that TES6 will in fact be running on their newly-announced Creation Engine 3.

While initial impressions surrounding Obsidian Entertainment’s Avowed left plenty to be desired (in part due to a disparity between fan expectations based on pre-release trailers and the final product), the game itself did offer plenty of fun in its own right, with satisfying wand combat, solid exploration and more. One year on from the game’s release on Xbox and PC, Avowed is now officially available on Sony’s PlayStation 5 – released in alignment with the game’s big anniversary update.

The Steam Deck has sold out in some regions, most notably in the US, and Valve has a bit of a problem on its hands, as it is now facing difficulties securing regular memory and storage supplies to produce more. 

We’ve heard for quite a while now that Ubisoft has been working on a full-blown remake for the much-loved Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, with claims that the title would be launching this year. Following the recent cancellation of a bunch of in-development titles however (including an almost-complete Prince of Persia Sands of Time Remake), the future of the Black Flag remake seemed uncertain. Fortunately it appears as though Ubisoft is still planning to release the game this year.

In recent years Valve has expedited the rate at which they introduce new features to their ever-popular Steam platform, with previous updates introducing a new UX; an overhauled library sharing with family, Steam Deck optimisations and much more. As part of Steam’s latest Beta Client update, users can now directly attach their PC’s specs to any reviews published for added clarity and context.

Ubisoft made the shocking decision to cancel its Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake several weeks ago, alongside a number of other unannounced projects. Now thanks to a new report, we may know exactly which unannounced games were scrapped during the publisher's restructuring.
