It’s been a long time coming, and now it’s official by the community’s own accounting: every non-VR PC game previously protected by Denuvo can now be bypassed, according to the CrackWatch community’s tracking list. The piracy scene is calling it a total victory over the DRM system that once...

After months of delays, rumors, and a leaked review that beat the official reveal to the punch, Valve has finally confirmed the date and price for its new Steam Controller: it launches on May 4, 2026, at 10:00 AM Pacific, for $99 USD. Regional pricing shakes out as £85 in the UK, €99 in Europe...

Johan Pilestedt, former CEO and current creative lead at Arrowhead Game Studios, spent this weekend doing something most studio heads avoid at all costs: hosting an unfiltered AMA on r/HelldiversUnfiltered, and absorbing everything players threw at him with the community already in a sour mood...

Fallout: New Vegas is arguably the most-dissected RPG in gaming history at this point, and apparently the developers haven’t stopped picking at the seams either. In a recent interview with YouTuber TKs-Mantis, former Obsidian creative director Chris Avellone said he thinks the implementation of...

Amazon Prime Video has released the full trailer for Spider-Noir, the upcoming series starring Nicolas Cage as the 1930s noir-flavored version of the web-slinger. The show’s description from its creators leans hard into the genre conceit: per the trailer, this is “a detective story, but the...

Digital Extremes has a habit of teasing their bigger updates as “Unannounced” slots for months before anything is confirmed. On April 24, that changed: the mystery 2026 update is Jade Shadows: Constellations, a direct sequel to 2024’s Jade Shadows, and it’s coming in June as a free update on all...

If you’ve been watching SSD prices climb for the past year and quietly dreading your next build, Kioxia’s announcement this week is a small point of light. The company unveiled its BG8 Series on April 23, a mainstream client SSD family that pushes PCIe 5.0 speeds into the OEM segment — the...

Diablo IV’s second major expansion, Lord of Hatred, drops this Tuesday April 28, and Blizzard has published the full PC specification breakdown ahead of launch. The good news: the floor is low and the game scales well. The less good news: if you want the full ray traced experience in 4K...

Every Patch Tuesday, there’s a moment where you hover over that “Install” button and wonder what you’re getting into. The April 2026 update for Windows 11, KB5083769, has given plenty of users good reason to hesitate. The update is causing two distinct problems: a confirmed BitLocker recovery...

It’s been a running joke among Linux users for years: to get NVIDIA CUDA or AMD ROCm working properly, clear your weekend and make peace with your terminal. Ubuntu 26.04 LTS “Resolute Raccoon,” released April 23, changes that. Both compute frameworks now ship natively through Ubuntu’s official...

For a company that spent much of the past two years in freefall, Thursday wasn’t exactly expected. Intel’s first quarter 2026 earnings landed well after the close on April 23 and by Friday morning the stock had surged roughly 24%, its largest single-day gain since 1987. The chip giant isn’t back...

So, for those of you that enjoy this - if you have more sources/sites that you frequent that you haven't seen in these roundups, I can add to the RSS ingestion that I'm doing for discovery, it should be able to increase the volume/variety.

The launch of the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 Dual Edition was the week’s headline event: the world’s first consumer CPU with 3D V-Cache on both compute dies arrived to widespread coverage, mixed reception on value, and a near-total absence of review samples at sites like the one you’re reading on...

Warner Bros. shelved it, tried to write it off as a tax deduction, and lost. Coyote vs. Acme is coming to theaters on August 28, 2026, and the first trailer makes sure you haven’t forgotten how it got there. The long-delayed live-action/animation hybrid was completed back in 2022 before Warner...

It was a rough Tuesday for Anthropic’s relationship with developers. Two separate incidents broke out yesterday that, taken together, paint a picture of a company making significant policy decisions without adequate communication to the people affected. The first: Tom’s Hardware reports that...

A report from industry publication The Ankler a couple weeks ago claimed that Amazon had pushed the Mass Effect TV adaptation’s writers to rewrite the show for audiences unfamiliar with the games, essentially asking them to treat it as a standalone sci-fi property rather than an adaptation. That...

One of the most-requested features for Radeon GPU owners may finally be on its way. Changes spotted in the AMD FSR 4 SDK strongly suggest that multi-frame generation (AFMG) is in active development for Radeon graphics cards, according to Guru3D and PC Gamer. The SDK updates in question include...
