Supermassive, developer of Until Dawn and Little Nightmares, is set to lay off another 36 employees before the release of Directive 8020, which is now being delayed to 2026.

Julian LeFay, a programmer and engineer with a storied games industry career, has died at the age of 59 years old. The news was announced by OnceLost Games, a company LeFay co-founded, following last week’s news that he would be retiring “to live his final moments surrounded by his loved ones.” LeFay had such a…

Just one week ago, I reported that we might have to wait until next year to see custom Arm processors from Nvidia. Now, we’re hearing not only more sources saying the same and that a first-quarter 2026 initial roll-out is the goal, but also that this delay might be at least in part due to…
Many PC hardware manufacturers were hit pretty hard by the announcement of Trump’s sky-high tariffs on goods imported into the US from around the world back in April. Hyte among them. The case company delayed orders and diverted shipments to other regions, with some prices for stocked products increasing for US customers. Well, that’s mostly…
