Nvidia could be making a new budget gaming GPU that’s even cheaper than the $299 RTX 5060, with an increasing number of reports pointing to the potential launch of an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5050 GPU for desktop gaming PCs. The latest evidence to add to the pile is a filing from Chinese graphics card maker Maxsun, which lists a huge total of 16 RTX 5050 graphics cards, covering various product ranges. While Nvidia hasn’t officially announced this GPU, several leaks about the RTX 5050 have already app...

As people continue to move away from sedans to larger vehicles, the distinction between SUVs, crossovers and MPVs has become even blurrier. But make no mistake, if you're looking for a big car with tons of power, excellent handling and a true seven-person capacity, the Lucid Gravity might be the coolest three-row EV on sale today. Just don't call it a minivan. Not that you would be incorrect. Between its extra-long dimensions (198 inches, three inches longer than a LWB VW ID. Buzz), a smooth, sl...

Sony has sold 77.8 million PlayStation 5s since the console first went on sale in 2020 after shipping 2.8 million units in its latest quarter, the company announced. That figure lines up remarkably well with PlayStation 4 sales which hit 79.1 million units in approximately the same amount of time. However, Sony's full year fiscal 2024 PS5 sales of 18.5 million were down compared to the 20.8 million it sold in 2023.  Game sales more than made up for that though, rising nine percent and helping pu...

Name a better duo. On today's edition of 'Collaborations We Didn't Expect,' Square Enix has announced that it is teaming up with the Japanese TV network TBS Television to develop a brand-new game IP (thanks, Gematsu). TBS Television, not the one that our friends in the US will likely be familiar with, is a Tokyo-based network responsible for shows like Takeshi's Castle, Ultraman and Sasuku (which you might recognise as 'Ninja Warrior' out West). The network established TBS Games back in 2023 wit...

Clair Obscur Expedition 33 is very much in fashion right now; Sandfall’s creation is at once a love letter to some of gaming’s best JRPGs, and a powerful step forward for the genre in its own right. It’s won our hearts at PCGamesN with its stunning world and cast of instantly likable characters, so of course the promise of official merchandise for them has perked my ears up. In a new post, Sandfall teases that it’s currently looking into creating an Esquie plushie, as it warns of potential scams...

The founder of gaming accessibility charity AbleGamers has been accused of abuse and financial mismanagement. Speaking to IGN, former employees who worked at AbleGamers alleged multiple instances of sexist and emotionally abusive behavior, financial mismanagement, as well as aggressive, racist, and inappropriate remarks by founder Mark Barlet. Barlet denies the allegations.

It's nearly time to live out your best hobbit life.

Apple is believed to be developing several technological innovations to mark the 20th anniversary of the iPhone, and one key technology it's considering is Mobile High Bandwidth Memory (HBM), according to a report from ETNews. HBM is a type of DRAM that stacks memory chips vertically and connects them via tiny vertical interconnects called Through-Silicon Vias (TSVs) to dramatically boost signal transmission speeds. It's primarily used in AI servers today, and is often referred to as AI memory d...

With Baldur’s Gate 3 now wrapped up and no sign of the likes of XCOM 3 quite yet, I’m always keeping an eye out for the next turn-based game to grab my attention. Clair Obscur Expedition 33 has set a high bar for 2025, but I’m tremendously interested in Arthurian adventure Legends of the Round Table. Bringing a blend of storytelling, decision-making, and squad battles to play, wrapped in stunning visuals that look as though they leapt straight off of a tapestry, this upcoming game from Artifice ...

The spy who nabbed me. A dubious game currently available on the PlayStation Store for $14.99 appears to have lifted the Dam level from GoldenEye 007 almost in its entirety. As reported over at Recollect64, 'iOrder SRL' has been wholesale borrowing entire level layouts and assets from the Nintendo 64's finest hour (fight me).

Speedy fender-bender 'em up Wreckfest 2 has added two new cars to its roster of smashmobiles alongside two new tracks, including one track from the first game that's been given a "makeover". The racing game is still in earliest of access, so this only brings the total number of vehicles up to six, and the selection of tracks is still limited too. But it's the start of what developers Bugbear see as steady progress, with more cars and courses set to come next month.

Your complete guide to every skater confirmed so far.

Thomas "GloriousEggroll" Crider has released GE-Proton 10-1 bringing over all the changes from Proton 10 Beta to this community-made compatibility layer, along with lots of specific game fixes for Linux / SteamOS + Steam Deck.

All creative work goes through several iterations before arriving in its final form. This very post, for example, began as a little notice of the release of The Midnight Walk, before I realised Edwin had already done that. Now it's instead about Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, an RPG which Nic definitely described in his review as "operatically, hauntingly, and slightly unhingedly French". Turns out it wasn't always so, as early in development Clair Obscur was set in "a steampunk Victorian England"...

Sony has said it is considering further price hikes for its products, in response to an expected 100bn yen (£513m) impact from US tariffs.

Square Enix is continuing with its multiplatform strategy, despite a drop in sales of its games.

Epic Games has released the first preview for its new Unreal Engine 5.6, promising “vast, high-fidelity open worlds with maximum performance. The latest iteration of the popular game engine, used in the likes of Oblivion Remastered, Inzoi, Avowed, Black Myth: Wukong, and Fortnite, promises to deliver “vast, high-fidelity open worlds with maximum performance” at a consistent 60fps along with powerful tools for developers to help in building large environments “faster than ever.”

Arrowhead's got more surprises in its quiver.

Krafton has announced it is renaming Dark and Darker Mobile to Abyss of Dungeons in an attempt to “fully reflect the game’s identity and potential.” The PUBG and Inzoi publisher assures that the title’s core features and mechanics will remain unchanged, but has subsequently delayed its global launch.

That all-important 18A node has yet to convince the likes of Nvidia or AMD to jump onboard.

We're now less than a year away from NBCUniversal's next Mario movie, but almost nothing's been revealed about the sequel so far beyond a release date. We might, however, finally have a name to go with that limited information, thanks to a hastily deleted official leak.

Where is it going wrong for Civilization 7? Firaxis has good intentions - after 34 years, the formula for the Civ series, and historical 4X games more generally, needs an overhaul. But perhaps Civilization 7 is trying to make too much change all at once. The eras system. The division between cities and towns. Coupled with the UI troubles and the absence of certain core features at launch, like name editing and team-based multiplayer, the initial reception to Civ 7 was always likely to be chilly....

Igor's Lab claims the thermal gel's consistency must be adjusted for future use.

Square Enix has cancelled development of mobile game Kingdom Hearts Missing-Link.

Here’s a great opportunity to bag yourself a speedy DDR5 gaming RAM upgrade for under $100, while also getting a fancy RGB lightshow behind your PC case window. You can currently get a 32GB (2 x 16GB) 6,400MT/s Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5 RAM kit for just $95.99, saving you 20% on the usual price, which is a bargain for the speed on offer. We were impressed by this memory in our Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5 review, particularly thanks to the flexibility of the RGB lighting, which features ten indiv...

With a focus on quality over quantity. Square Enix has released its financial results for FY2025, detailing a rather middling performance for the company with a distinct lack of major releases. The good news is that its HD Digital Entertainment sub-segment (i.e. the big games we're all interested in) turned a profit, but only because a combination of lower development and marketing costs mixed with higher-than-expected sales of Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake effectively outweighed the higher net ...

Valve are on a bit of a roll lately with multiple nice Team Fortress 2 (TF2) updates coming in to fix up various issues. The latest changes the networking options for making your own game, allowing you to set who can join it.

Apple is reportedly considering a radical redesign for the 20th anniversary iPhone that could feature a completely bezel-less display that curves around all four edges of the device, claims a new report out of Korea. ETNews writes that Apple is aiming to use "four-edge bending" display technology for the 2027 iPhone that would curve not just along the left and right sides as seen in some current smartphones, but also wrap around the top and bottom edges. This would create a truly borderless visu...

Hardware vendor ZOTAC have announced they're working on a new ZOTAC GAMING ZONE Handheld, with a prototype that will be shown off at COMPUTEX 2025 running Linux.

The best thing I ever read about Jack Reacher - and I'm sure I've mentioned this before - is that the hero of Lee Child's books doesn't solve crimes or right wrongs. What he does is kill the plot. The plot comes at him in the form of baddies and deadly set-pieces and locked doors, and he just punches and shoots a way through it until there's nothing left.

Netflix's long-held plans to turn Assassin's Creed into a live-action TV series have been detailed a little further today, with the reveal of its writing team.

Co-op shooter Helldivers 2 added its third enemy faction, the Illuminate, back in December. Now the alien squids are headed towards Super Earth itself, and to counteract this latest threat to democracy developers Arrowhead are giving soldiers new ways to customise their weaponry.

Sony sold 2.8m PlayStation 5 consoles in its most recent financial quarter, bringing total lifetime sales to 77.8m consoles.
