Frictional Games has released a cryptic teaser for its upcoming project in the form of a trailer titled "Frictional_Next_Project.mp4." The developer created Amnesia and SOMA.

Community members speculate the project could expand the SOMA universe. Fans have compiled a spreadsheet analyzing...
AMD has introduced Fast Motion Response for its Fluid Motion Frames 2.1 technology through PyTorch on Windows Preview Edition 25.120.01.14. The feature works exclusively with RX 7000 and RX 9000 graphics processing units.

The technology addresses AFMF's challenge of generating frames in fast-motion scenes. Search Mode previously disabled frame generation when motion was too rapid.
The new feature does not appear in the standard Adrenalin Edition 25.9.2 software. Users must install...

Apple confronts a substantial upgrade opportunity as approximately 150 million iPhones worldwide cannot support iOS 26, and roughly 975 million devices lack compatibility with Apple Intelligence features. CLSA analyst Bhavtosh Vajpayee reports the average iPhone age reached 6.5 years, while 65 percent of the current user base cannot access artificial intelligence functions available only on iPhone 15 Pro models or newer devices.

Apple shipped 232 million iPhones in 2024, but the projected expansion depends partly on demand for a new foldable model. The manufacturer also develops...

Bloober Team released a native Steam Deck version of Cronos: The New Dawn that demonstrates substantial performance gains compared to the Proton Windows version. A comparison video from Deck Wizard shows the native build maintains frame rates above 30 frames per second in demanding locations like the Apartment Complex, where the Windows version struggles to reach that threshold. The survival-horror title remains playable at 30 frames per second because the experience prioritizes atmosphere over rapid action sequences.
Native Steam Deck builds represent a recent development that extends the portable system's viability after launching the handheld gaming trend. Larian Studios also distributed a native build for Baldur's Gate 3 that...
