Subnautica 2 got into a bit of hot water (get it?) recently over some Discord comments that bluntly stated it wasn’t a “killing game”. Now, I didn’t exactly buy into the critique of the game centered around that—I think it’s perfectly fine for videogames to be about different things—but I do appreciate that being hounded…
“It was impossible for Tecmo to release hardware”. Nearly two years before the release of the Nintendo Game Boy in 1989, the Ninja Gaiden and Klonoa: Door to Phantomile director Hideo Yoshizawa came up with his own pitch for what the future of handheld gaming might look like, and it’s pretty remarkable how closely it…
In this episode of ‘I wonder what they’ll attach to a liquid cooler next’, we’re looking at one I spotted at Computex 2026 from Tryx that offers a holographic effect. It’s called the Tryx Holo. The radiator isn’t anything special; it’s sleek with three fans and some subtle RGB lighting. Though peer into the window…
Crimson Desert DLC is on its way, because you can never have enough Crimson Desert apparently. Pearl Abyss teased the news in its June-September 2026 preview, where it also detailed a bunch of tantalising improvements, but it hasn’t given much away so far. “We are also hard at work on an upcoming DLC for Crimson…
Crimson Desert developer Pearl Abyss has just released its June-September preview, teasing some of the big updates heading to the gargantuan open-world romp this summer, and a couple of them are things players have been desperate for since launch. One of the headline attractions is Pearl Abyss’s mission to improve the story. There are lots…
After being shown off in prototype form at CES earlier this year, and even before then, MSI’s flagship Maestro 900R chassis is just a few months away from release. So, er, get saving because when it does release in Q3 it’s going to cost a hefty $699. But it is a lot of case, and…
With Asus going somewhat over the top with hulking products for its ROG 20th anniversary, it might have slipped under your radar that Gigabyte is also throwing a party. To celebrate 40 years of making all things PC-related, it’s releasing a host of special edition goodies at this year’s Computex event, and top of the…
The games industry has been putting transparent glass and plastic on its hardware for decades now, yet Corsair’s see-through power supply might feel a tad too vulnerable for my liking. Luckily, Corsair has also shown off a case that seems hardy enough to protect it. We have seen Corsair’s HX1000i Shift Crystal before (its 1000W…
So Nvidia has announced the RTX Spark chip, its first CPU—or should that be APU—for the PC. Except the chip is basically a rebadge of the GB10 superchip in the DGX Spark desktop AI box that it launched in October last year. And it uses pretty ancient CPU cores licensed from Arm. So when might…
Noctua has returned to Computex in Taiwan with a new and improved version of its pumpless liquid cooler. This time, the company says it’s able to compete with a standard all-in-one cooler for temps. “We had that demo last year on a 9800X3D,” Noctua’s Jakob Dellinger says, calling back to this thermosiphon prototype from 2025….
