ASUS has released a stable firmware version AGESA 1.2.7.0 for its AM5 motherboards, with the update expected to enable compatibility for forthcoming Zen 5 architecture desktop APUs from AMD. The manufacturer previously issued a beta version containing references to both Krackan Point and Strix Point processor families, though official release documentation mentions only general improvements for CPU and device support.
The firmware rollout suggests AMD will launch desktop variants of its mobile Strix Point processors, potentially offering configurations up to 12 cores rather than limiting enthusiasts to eight-core models. Expected SKUs should feature RDNA 3.5 integrated graphics comparable to Radeon 840M through 890M variants found in...
Battlefield 6 has received a substantial 1.2.2.0 patch across PC and current generation consoles, delivering more than 160 corrections alongside the restoration of Aim Assist to its Open Beta configuration. The adjustment addresses one of the most disputed changes from the launch version, which had modified the targeting assistance feature in ways that frustrated many players.
The patch launches the second phase of Season One content, adding Eastwood, a Southern California-themed battlefield compatible with all official gameplay modes. New armaments include the DB-12 Shotgun and M357 Trait Sidearm, while the upcoming Battle Pickups feature will provide access to limited ammunition weapons with exceptional firepower.

Take-Two chief executive Strauss Zelnick told CNBC that the video game sector continues its migration toward personal computers and open platforms, though traditional gaming experiences on large displays will persist. The executive, who leads what will become the biggest independent American publisher following the Electronic Arts acquisition, suggested that console gaming as a concept remains viable even as hardware paradigms shift.
Industry trends support his assessment, with the three major platform holders competing for existing customers rather than expanding their collective audience. Personal computer gaming has demonstrated consistent expansion, reflected in Steam's sales performance and the emergence of hybrid devices like...
A Mexican department store listing suggests Silent Hill Townfall could arrive by late March, though the retailer quickly removed the page after gaming communities noticed the information. Liverpool Mexico had briefly displayed a release window for the survival horror title before taking down the listing, potentially following contact from publisher Annapurna Interactive.
The timing aligns with expectations for the project, which Konami announced alongside other franchise revivals more than two years ago. Developer No Code, working under the Screen Burn name, has faced scrutiny given its background in adventure games rather than survival horror. Concerns about cancellation emerged following turmoil at Annapurna Interactive, but the...
Xbox president Sarah Bond has confirmed Microsoft remains committed to console hardware development, stating the next-generation system will deliver a powerful experience that surpasses current capabilities. The executive addressed speculation about the company potentially exiting the console market following weak Xbox Series S and X sales figures.

Simon Collins-Laflamme has reclaimed the rights to Hytale from Riot Games and announced the project will resume development using its original Legacy engine. The Hypixel studio founder explained that reverting from the newer Cross-platform engine became necessary after determining it remained years behind in gameplay capabilities, despite Riot Games having acquired the developer and project back in 2020 and mandating the engine switch.
Collins-Laflamme has already brought back more than 30 former team members to continue work on the game, with early access expected to launch in the near future. He cautioned that the initial release will contain bugs, crashes, and incomplete features, with the full 1.0 version still years away from...
Gambian Environment Minister Rohey John Manjang addressed global representatives at a climate conference in Belem, Brazil, emphasizing that her nation faces severe environmental threats despite contributing minimally to worldwide emissions. Manjang outlined national commitments to reduce greenhouse gases by nearly 50 percent within five years and achieve carbon neutrality by mid-century, a plan requiring approximately 4 billion dollars in funding.
The minister, recently appointed to co-chair adaptation discussions alongside her German counterpart, stressed that vulnerable countries need immediate financial support rather than theoretical pledges. She called for substantial grant-based resources directed toward least developed nations...
President Adama Barrow faced criticism from conservation organizations after hunters reportedly killed a crocodile and brought it to a campaign stop in Sandu Kuraw. The Edward Francis Small Centre for Rights and Justice and Their Voice Must Be Heard accused authorities of violating wildlife protection statutes and international biodiversity agreements, demanding prosecution of those responsible for the incident and a similar episode involving a hippopotamus.
The National People's Party denied that Barrow accepted the animal, stating security personnel turned away hunters before the head of state arrived at the venue. Rights advocates argued the episodes contradict national conservation obligations and could encourage exploitation of...
The Information Commission has completed a nationwide campaign to educate Gambians about recently passed legislation protecting personal information from unauthorized use and theft. Sessions reached communities including Brikama, Soma, Farafenni, Basse and Bansang, where officials met with local leaders, law enforcement personnel and civic groups to explain how the statute safeguards citizen data rights.
Authorities clarified that the framework applies to all organizations processing personal information within Gambian borders, though exceptions exist for anonymous datasets and household record keeping. Government representatives emphasized that institutions handling sensitive details must now follow specific protocols regarding...
