As epistemological endeavours go, the philosophical consideration of what, precisely, constitutes an actual PC monitor as opposed to a mere status screen is indeed a noble calling. Which presumably is why Corsair has cooked up this slightly silly new 14.5-inch display, the new Xeneon Edge—for the sheer intellectual giddiness of it all. Anyway, clocking in…
Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector is releasing at the end of the month, January 31—and as someone with a vested interest in the first game, I’m downright excited. The series’ creator, Gareth Damian Martin, has found a way to bring the vibes of a smaller-scale indie TTRPG to a videogame not once, but twice now….
Goodbye rasterization, hello neural rendering. To complement the launch of the GeForce RTX 50-series at CES 2025, Nvidia has announced an updated RTX software kit for developers, with APIs for neural rendering—shaders, materials, and texture compression, and more performance in ray traced games. The tech won’t be in games just yet but at least we…

Google has fired a verbal shot over the information highway, as per a recent post to…
Seekers of Skyveil, the game that mashes up MOBA-style gameplay with extraction shooter mechanics—and seems to be doing a very good job of it—announced today that it’s set to launch into early access in March. But first, another round of playtesting is set to kick off on January 10 on Steam. Seekers of Skyveil looks…
Streamlabs, the Logitech-owned streaming software for live streamers is implementing generative AI-driven recommendations and conversation, ranging from troubleshooting to giving insight on why your chat has suddenly gone quiet. Announced in a press release, the “intelligent streaming assistant” is made up of three central functions. The first is as a ‘3D Sidekick’. This AI functions…
At risk of giving away too much, too soon, it’s CES right now and exhibition halls are alive with the sound of OLED TVs. Or at the very least bathed in their wide-gamut glow. Anyway, among the various highlights, one development stands out. Both LG and Samsung, the two big noises of OLED panel manufacturing,…
Tencent, one of the world’s largest videogame publishers, is also a Chinese military company, the US Department of Defense claims.
