Italian developer Santa Ragione faces potential closure after Valve permanently blocked its newest release from Steam distribution, claiming the title contains imagery suggesting minor involvement in inappropriate scenarios. Studio co-founder Pietro Righi Riva disclosed that an automated rejection cited prohibited content despite the team's insistence that a controversial farm sequence lacked any sexual elements and was subsequently revised to feature only adult characters.
The platform demanded evaluation of an incomplete build during initial submission, which Riva believes triggered the erroneous flagging before substantial narrative adjustments could be implemented. Without access to Steam's dominant marketplace, the creator of...
Performance crashes plaguing Assassin's Creed Shadows have been traced to Windows Update KB5066835, which Digital Foundry confirmed can slash frame rates by up to 50 percent on high-end hardware configurations. Testing on systems equipped with Ryzen 7 9800X3D processors and RTX 5090 graphics cards revealed catastrophic degradation that NVIDIA has addressed through hotfix driver 581.94, offering players immediate relief without requiring removal of the problematic operating system patch.
Ubisoft has simultaneously deployed Title Update 1.1.6, introducing limited-time Attack on Titan crossover content featuring themed equipment and a collaborative story mission. The update grants protagonists Naoe and Yasuke access to each other's...
Huawei has equipped its newly revealed MatePad Edge with thermal management technology that surpasses competing tablets, featuring a two-phase vapor chamber alongside a 0.335mm micro-pump liquid cooling film that enables the processor to maintain a 28W power threshold. The 14.2-inch OLED device houses a 12,900mAh battery and employs active cooling fans, though this approach increases chassis thickness to 6.85mm compared to Apple's ultra-slim 5.1mm M5 iPad Pro.
The Chinese manufacturer's engineering demonstrates how aggressive thermal solutions can unlock sustained performance during demanding operations, potentially offering insights for future iterations of Apple's professional tablet line. However, the M6 iPad Pro will likely pursue...
KO_OP has surprise-launched Young Suns through Xbox Game Pass, marking the developer's follow-up to Goodbye Volcano High. The multiplayer narrative simulator supports one to four participants who assume control of Sundog, a vessel operator helping to establish a post-revolutionary society among Jupiter's liberated inhabitants. Players will encounter 30 characters while navigating the challenges of rebuilding civilization after defeating corporate oppressors.
The early access version will expand through updates targeting friendship systems, workbench improvements, cosmetic additions, and technical refinements. Future content plans encompass planetary wildlife, minigames, additional story missions, and photography features. Steam...
NVIDIA has dismissed suggestions that application-specific integrated circuits from Google pose a serious threat to its dominance in artificial intelligence hardware, arguing that such specialized processors remain confined to narrow use cases while its own platforms power the entire machine learning ecosystem. The graphics chip giant acknowledged Google's technical achievements and confirmed their ongoing commercial relationship, yet emphasized that its architecture delivers superior flexibility by supporting every AI model across all computing environments.
Google's tensor processing units have attracted external interest from major players like Meta and Anthropic, with projections indicating that outside sales could eventually...
Quantic Dream game director Gregorie Diaconu has revealed ambitious plans for Spellcasters Chronicles, the studio's maiden multiplayer venture, launching its first closed beta next month. The free-to-play fantasy combat title marks a dramatic departure for the Detroit: Become Human developer, featuring flying sorcerers who command summoned armies in competitive matches that will evolve through what Diaconu calls a community-driven narrative system.
The project originated as an experimental prototype following Detroit's completion, eventually becoming a full production in 2020 under creative director David Cage's vision for high-fantasy multiplayer gameplay. Diaconu emphasized the studio's commitment to fair monetization without...
Samsung may be deliberately holding back innovation for its Galaxy S26 lineup, set to arrive in early 2026, potentially saving major advancements for the S27 series that would launch alongside Apple's milestone iPhone 20 in 2027. The upcoming S26 models appear conservative, featuring modest upgrades like marginally larger displays, slimmer profiles on the Ultra variant, and nearly identical camera hardware from the S25 generation, while only select markets will receive the promising Exynos 2600 processor in base models.
Apple's anniversary iPhone 20 promises dramatic technological leaps, with reports suggesting a fully borderless display integrating an under-screen front camera and waterfall edges that seamlessly blend into the frame...
A graphics card owner encountered a catastrophic power delivery failure that fused the connector permanently into the socket on his flagship gaming accelerator from NVIDIA. The second consecutive defect experienced with the expensive hardware left burn marks severe enough that removal attempts risk additional destruction, prompting community members to warn against forceful extraction of the melted adapter.
MSI manufactured both the affected card and the stock cable that allegedly caused the incident during routine computing tasks when Windows suddenly lost recognition of the device. Uncertainty surrounds warranty coverage for such thermal events despite the upgraded 12V-2x6 interface designed to prevent precisely these failures that...
Intel plans to reserve expanded cache configurations for processor variants permitting overclocking adjustments within its forthcoming Nova Lake desktop lineup, according to industry sources tracking the California manufacturer's strategy against rival products from AMD. The enhanced memory architecture designated Big Last Level Cache will reportedly appear exclusively on unlocked models, with midrange Core Ultra 5 chips featuring eight performance cores and 16 efficiency cores potentially receiving 144 megabytes of additional onboard storage.
Speculation suggests premium Core Ultra 9 variants could accommodate dual cache tiles totaling 180 megabytes, though leakers indicate the technology remains confined to enthusiast-oriented...
