Following increasingly loud rumors that Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA VI) would finally get an extended look later this month, Rockstar Games has now confirmed that that will happen on Thursday, August 27, three weeks from today. The big surprise is that the extended look will premiere exclusively on Netflix at 3 PM Eastern Time, while Rockstar's YouTube channel and the official website will offer the same footage from 9 PM Eastern Time.

Sony Forces PSSR 2.0 On Every PS5 Pro Game, As New Beta Update Flips The Upscaler Toggle On By Default

The one feature that defines the PS5 Pro is the PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) upscaler. While the first version of the AI-powered upscaling technology left something to be desired in games like the Silent Hill 2 remake, where the upscaler didn't work properly with Unreal Engine 5's light rendering, the enhanced PSSR 2.0 is elevating gaming on the system. However, some games that haven't been updated still only support the first version of the upscaler, relying on the system's "Enhance PSSR Image Quality" toggle to improve image quality. Although this toggle will eventually be deprecated once future versions of the […]

Fallout 3 Remastered Should Fix Every Issue Of The Original, As It Did Not Come Out As Bethesda Intended

Fallout 3 Remastered has been a known entity for quite some time, thanks to leaked FTC v. Microsoft court documentation, retailer listings, and alleged leaked gameplay, but it was only recently, with official confirmation straight from Bethesda, that fans of the post-apocalyptic RPG series could start getting excited for the return to the Capital Wasteland. In a new interview with The Examined Game, former Bethesda artist Nate Purkeypile - who worked on the original 2008 title as a World and Lighting Artist, as well as Lead Artist for expansions like Point Lookout - provided a few more reasons why fans should get […]

Sony Doubles Down On The Death Of Physical Discs, As New PlayStation 5 Units Come With A Warning Sticker

Sony's decision to sunset physical discs in 2028 has quickly become one of the most controversial decisions the company has ever made since entering the console market with the first PlayStation. The backlash from gamers has been significant, so much so that the company officially acknowledged it had heard their voices, but it seems no form of protest may be enough to make the Japanese company backtrack, judging from a new warning sticker found on the box of new PlayStation 5 units. "IMPORTANT NOTICE: Starting in January 2028, new PlayStation game releases will be available for purchase on PlayStation Store and through […]

Nintendo’s Revenue Drops 9.5%, yet Profit Soars 150%, as High-Margin Software and a Tariff Refund Rewrite the Quarter

Nintendo has published its financial results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2027 (April through June 2026), revealing a peculiar disconnect between the company's revenue and its profit. Nintendo's net sales for the quarter totaled 517.8 billion yen, down 9.5% year-over-year; despite that decline, operating profit jumped 150.5% to 142.6 billion yen, ordinary profit rose 115.1% to 206.1 billion yen, and profit attributable to owners of parent climbed 53.5% to 147.4 billion yen. The explanation lies in two factors working in Nintendo's favor: software made up a larger share of total sales this quarter than last year, and software […]

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.

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.

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 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 […]
