Bungie’s Marathon has had a rough go of it since launch, landing in the middle of what has been a fairly rough stretch for the studio more broadly. The extraction shooter made a real impression technically, but the community response has been mixed, and sentiment around Bungie has been soured...

IO Interactive spent years after the Hitman trilogy quietly building what could be the best James Bond game in thirty years, and as of today, you can play it. 007 First Light is out now on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S, with the Nintendo Switch 2 version delayed to Q3 2026. Review embargoes...

The AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE has been a China-only product since its regional debut last year, and for a while it looked like it might stay that way. VideoCardz has obtained images of Sapphire retail packaging for the card with full English branding on the Sapphire PULSE version, replacing the...

There is a new GeForce Game Ready Driver out today, and on the surface it looks like a routine game-optimization release. Dig one line deeper, though, and you will find something a little more historic buried in the notes: the classic NVIDIA Control Panel is officially gone for GeForce users...

The transition to clocked DDR5 modules has been underway for a while now, but having the chips to actually build those modules at the highest speeds is a different conversation. Rambus (Yes, that Rambus: the one that convinced Intel to bet the Pentium 4 platform on RDRAM, a memory standard so...

Bungie announced earlier this month that Destiny 2 would receive one final update, Monument of Triumph, on June 9, 2026, after which active development ends. The game will remain playable in maintenance mode, mirroring how the original Destiny has lingered on since its own support sunset. What...

It also could be as simple as a matter of bean counting/disclosure guidelines. Given the ramp up of the data center/AI revenue, the gaming revenue might not be material (to the financials) anymore - which usually means it doesn't make sense to report on it separately....

It is the last week before Computex, which means the review pipeline has gone about as quiet as a stock Intel cooler at 100% load. (Ed: Are you saying they’re fanless now? Or they aren’t in the retail box anymore?) Manufacturers are saving their big announcements for the show floor, so what we...

addlink Technology has opened its 2026 Virtual Showcase, an online product preview covering the Taiwanese storage maker’s upcoming lineup across PCIe Gen5 SSDs, DDR5 CUDIMM memory, portable storage, and docking solutions. It’s not a physical show floor (Ed: This means they won’t be at Computex...

Firaxis dropped the “Test of Time” update for Civilization VII yesterday, and free-for-all owners of the game is an understatement for how significant this patch actually is. The official patch notes run long enough to require a coffee. This is the update the community has been waiting for since...

Plex really wants you to subscribe monthly. That’s the charitable read of the company’s announcement today that the Lifetime Plex Pass is jumping from $249.99 to $749.99 on July 1, 2026, a 200% increase that follows a previous hike from $119.99 to $249.99 just over a year ago. In the span of...

SAMA has officially launched the S50, a compact ATX mid-tower that tries to solve the familiar problem of fitting enthusiast-grade hardware into a smaller chassis without carving out GPU or radiator clearance to get there. The trick is a front-mounted PSU compartment that shifts the power supply...

There’s a new brand making its presence known at Computex 2026. Levelplay, a PC cooling company positioning itself around builder-friendly design and modern aesthetics, is using the show as its coming-out party, and the lineup it’s bringing is more interesting than your typical OEM refresh...

It only took about five years, but Microsoft has finally relented. Windows Insiders in the Experimental channel can now move the Windows 11 taskbar to the top, bottom, left, or right of the screen, restoring a feature that Windows users had for decades before Windows 11 launched in October 2021...

Forza Horizon 6 launched its early access window this week, and the PC hardware world met it with a flood of GPU benchmarks. Elsewhere, ASUS dropped a 20th-anniversary ROG Crosshair motherboard that looks like it time-traveled from 2006 and Igor Wallossek spent 109 minutes tearing down a...
