As spotted by user Worrissey on the Steam subreddit, Gray Newell, the oldest son of Valve head honcho Gabe Newell, is set to compete at the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance race on June 13. Newell has been part of the Heart of Racing, a team co-founded by racer Ian James, businessman Yahn…
It’s rare that I’ll open up a preview about a game by saying “hear me out”, but in the case of Stars Reach, it’s appropriate. I will readily admit, upon a cursory glance of Stars Reach’s Steam page, that my inner cynic (who I try not to pay too much attention to) had written it…
We might end up having to wait until 2028 for new AMD graphics cards. But the company has said its next-gen Zen 6 CPUs are coming later this year. Even better, the latest rumours claim the chips will clock up beyond 6.5 GHz, setting a record for factory-spec PC processors. The source here is the…
Arc Raiders has had a big problem with various duplication exploits since its release. In a genre all about looting—finding it and fighting to keep it—that’s a pretty nasty issue to have. While these bugs have generally been patched pretty quickly, and often related to specific items (like endless rubber duckies), the spoils of free-flowing…
You ever play a game that just activates your brain in all the right ways? I remember it happening a few times in my life—the first time I played Morrowind on a friend’s PC and experienced a lifelong RPG addiction occurring in real-time. Just hearing that menu theme makes me want to run outside and…
For the launch of its Core Ultra 200S Plus processors, Intel released a software package called Binary Optimization Tool (IBOT for short), which promised to give certain games a substantial boost in performance.

Despite a rough couple of years for the company, Intel could be set to make a turnaround with both its handheld chips performing well, and its Foundry business taking on substantial orders, at least if recent reports prove to be true. It seems like the AI boom has really squeezed semiconductor leader TSMC’s supplies dry,…
Now that AI is being shoehorned into every app or operating system these days, whether you want it or not, attention is being increasingly turned to the user interface. At one end of the spectrum, you have Google and Microsoft’s unaccommodating efforts, and at the other, you have Apple’s new orb-of-wonder, actively lighting its ‘surroundings’….
After nine years, eight expansions and a mountain of updates—many good, plenty questionable—Destiny 2’s final ever patch releases today. The Monument of Triumph is the final hoorah; the last big release before the studio walks away from the game forever. The future is uncertain for the singular live-service looter shooter series. Destiny 2 itself will…
A new report citing graphics card makers at the Computex show claims AMD’s next-gen RDNA 5 GPUs won’t appear until at least late next year and perhaps not until early 2028. AMD’s current RDNA 4 graphics cards, including the Radeon RX 9070 XT, were released in March 2025. Dutch website Tweakers says it spoke with…
