The Witcher 3 Gets Unofficial DLSS 4.5 Multi Frame Gen Mod, Tripling Frame Rates a Decade After Launch

A few days ago, modder PureDark released an upscaler that implements NVIDIA DLSS 4.5 with Dynamic Multi Frame Generation into The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. CD Projekt RED's game did not launch with NVIDIA DLSS, though of course, that's because its May 2015 debut far predates the advent of DLSS, which was first released in February 2019. However, it was updated with NVIDIA DLSS Super Resolution, Frame Generation, Reflex, and ray traced global illumination, ambient occlusion, shadows, and reflections when the developers dropped the so-called The Witcher 3 Next-Generation update in December 2022. PureDark's mod replaces the game's default Streamline […]

Microsoft Drops The Hammer On Forza Horizon 6 Leakers With Hardware Bans Lasting Nearly 8,000 Years

Forza Horizon 6 is launching next week on PC and Xbox Series X|S, but a massive failure in Steamworks publishing leaked a fully playable build of the game without DRM. With the latest entry in the series being one of the biggest titles published by Xbox this year, the publisher is dealing with the situation in the harshest way possible, hitting users playing the leaked build with what essentially is a lifetime hardware ban. As widely reported in now-deleted threads on the series' official subreddit, early players are being suspended for "cheating/unallowed modding," which was to be expected. The suspension […]

Dragon Quest XII: The Flames of Fate Could Finally Get Revealed This Month, 5 Years After Its Announcement

Dragon Quest XII: The Flames of Fate has been known to be in the works since the series' 35th anniversary in May 2021, but very little is known about the next main entry in the long-running JRPG series other than the fact that it will be powered by Unreal Engine 5. Since the game's reveal, we saw the release of four remakes, but series creator Yuji Horii recently teased that the game will be back in the spotlight starting later this month. Speaking during the latest episode of the KosoKoso broadcast, the Dragon Quest series creator confirmed that a series […]

Steam Machine Buyers Will Face a Queue System For Its 4 Models, as Valve Moves to Prevent Scalper Markups Early

Following the disappointing launch of the Steam Controller, which saw units sell out almost immediately, only to end up in the hands of scalpers, Valve introduced a reservation queue to prevent a repeat of the situation. As spotted in the same Steam update that introduced the system for the new controller, a similar safeguard will be in place for both the Steam Machine and the Steam Frame. Users analyzing the system via Steam Tracker have discovered code for four Steam Machine packages and two Steam Frame packages alongside the Steam Controller and Steam Deck entries. This heavily suggests that the […]

Gears of War: E-Day Lands Between Halo and Fable as WWE Sponsorship Hints at September Slot in Xbox’s Calendar

We might have a probable launch month for Gears of War: E-Day, The Coalition's new installment in the third-person shooter series. The rumor comes not from an insider but from an unlikely source: a sponsorship. During WWE Backlash on Saturday, May 9, it was announced that Gears of War: E-Day is the official presenting sponsor of AAA Triplemania 2026, the premier Lucha Libre event happening on September 11 and 13 in Mexico City. The thing is, publishers don't sponsor major live events months before their game releases: the whole point is to reach a mass audience at peak marketing momentum. Moreover, historically, […]

CAPCOM’s Massive Upcoming Slate Revealed: Devil May Cry 1 Remake, RE1 in Full Production, and a Full Roadmap Through 2030

Renowned CAPCOM leaker Dusk Golem has shared information he received from another insider about the Japanese studio's upcoming slate. The claims cover everything from a Devil May Cry 1 remake to internal project codenames, development timelines, and what's coming after the highly successful Resident Evil Requiem, which became the fastest-selling entry in CAPCOM's revered horror franchise. Crucially, much of this information independently corroborates what Dusk Golem has separately shared over the past year, lending it additional credibility. The single biggest and most surprising reveal in the leak is undoubtedly that a full remake of the original Devil May Cry, first launched in 2001 for […]

SMIC Founder Says It’s A “Misconception” That Semiconductor Success Is “Only Achieved When 3nm Or 2nm Is Reached” In New Interview

TSMC’s success in the semiconductor industry is primarily due to the manufacturer’s unyielding focus on its advanced processes and ability to achieve stability in record time, allowing the company to form long-term business relationships with trillion-dollar firms like Apple and NVIDIA. While being able to mass produce 3nm and 2nm wafers at a mammoth scale is certainly a tremendous feat, SMIC founder Richard Chang does not consider these accomplishments as a benchmark for success and calls it a misconception in the latest interview. Instead, he believes that there’s another attribute that semiconductor companies must acquire. SMIC’s founder says that “excellence […]

A Customer Nabs An M4 Max MacBook Pro With A Terrific Configuration From A Pawn Shop Of All Places, For Just $1,501

Apple’s M5 Max is currently the company’s top-end SoC to be found in the MacBook Pro, but there’s no universe in which the M4 Max would be considered diminished in any way because it’s still a ridiculously powerful SoC, and a downright expensive one at that. Naturally, any portable Mac featuring the previous-generation silicon would be sold at a premium, but one lucky customer managed to find a top-notch configuration from the most unlikely of places; a pawn shop, for just $1,501. Near-top-tier specifications of the M4 Max MacBook Pro found in a pawn shop featured 64GB of unified RAM and a […]

Apple’s visionOS Job Listings Don’t Indicate The Vision Pro’s Success, As Company Is Working On Incredible Advancements In Same Segment

There is a torrent of jobs available for Apple’s visionOS platform, which may hint that the California-based giant is going through an aggressive hiring spree since there’s incredible demand for the Vision Pro. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman didn’t believe this was the case and, as a result, was receiving flak for shutting down claims that Apple’s expensive $3,499 mixed-reality headset was a dud, despite the myriad of job postings. Now, he has come forth to bury the confusion by mentioning that Apple has grand plans for the future of visionOS. New job posts are for optimizing the visionOS platform, not to […]

Samsung’s Desperation To Keep Galaxy S27 Component Costs Down Has Forced It To Seek A Supplier Of Inferior Quality Displays

Smartphone titans like Samsung have made efforts to ensure that the DRAM crisis doesn’t adversely affect their ‘day to day’ operations, but these attempts were futile as the Korean giant has been forced to introduce a price hike to the Galaxy S26 series. However, the company is working to ensure that it minimizes additional component cost bumps by moving to a dual-sourcing strategy. Since displays are among the more expensive parts of a smartphone, the base Galaxy S27 could feature panels from Samsung and another manufacturer, but this could lead to quality disparities in the future. Chinese suppliers could become a […]
