Xbox games took over the April 2025 sales charts across all gaming platforms. The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered grabbed the top spot for sales on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC. Forza Horizon 5 came in second place, with Minecraft landing at number four. These Microsoft titles made up three of the five best-selling games last month. On PlayStation, four of the five top-selling games were actually Xbox titles.
Call of Duty kept its crown for most monthly active players on both Xbox and PlayStation systems. Oblivion Remastered ranked fifth most-played on Steam, where Schedule I held the number one position. The remastered game already stands as 2025's third best-seller, behind only Monster Hunter Wilds and Assassin's Creed: Shadows...
NVIDIA plans to release new AI chips for China based on Blackwell architecture after the US export limits. These chips will use GDDR7 memory instead of HBM to meet US rules. The memory speed will reach about 1.7 TB/s, matching the RTX 5090 graphics card. NVIDIA hopes to ship one million of these chips by 2025. The company wants to stay ahead of local options like Huawei Ascend chips.
Many Chinese companies have started using local chips because they worry about future US limits. NVIDIA believes its better design will keep customers interested despite changes. The new chips may arrive as early as July. The NVIDIA head has spoken against strict US rules on selling AI tech to China. NVIDIA sees China as an important market worth keeping.
Microsoft plans to power its future Xbox handheld with an AMD APU rather than switching to ARM architecture. This confirmation comes from AMD leaker KeplerL2 on the NeoGAF forums, who stated the device will use a custom low-power AMD processor. Various manufacturers will create their Xbox-branded handhelds using different processors such as AMD Z2E, Intel Lunar or Panther Lake, Qualcomm X Elite 2, and NVIDIA N1. A recent job posting had suggested Microsoft might use ARM architecture for some next-generation Xbox products. ARM would have offered improved power efficiency for a portable system, but would have created compatibility problems with existing Xbox games.
The first glimpse of Microsoft's handheld strategy will come through a...

Neowiz showed off the new Lies of P expansion at a private event in Los Angeles. The DLC called Overture takes players back before the main story starts. Players need to finish the game once and find a special stargazer near the Malum District to play it.
The preview featured two parts. Battle Memories lets gamers fight harder versions of bosses from the main game. These fights give players special pins to wear on their outfits after winning tough battles. The team also added a snowy area outside Krat with dangerous blue-blooded enemies who can beat players quickly if they make mistakes.
New weapons appear in Overture like a rotary saw that charges up when players dash, and a gunblade that shoots shells during attacks. The DLC has...
NVIDIA shares bounced back after trade war fears eased between America and China. The Biden rules might change to let countries negotiate chip deals directly. Analyst C.J. Muse from Cantor Fitzgerald sees NVIDIA stock hitting $200 and keeps his positive rating. He expects the May 28 earnings call to clear away investor worries despite high hopes after recent tech events.
Muse predicts $46 billion revenue guidance for next quarter, slightly below what others expect. This number accounts for about $5 billion lost from licensing rules affecting China's sales of H20 chips. The company should ship around 25,000 rack systems with GB300 chips late this year. Data center sales could reach $200 billion by 2025, beating current estimates of $175...
Cloud Imperium Games lost key staff members working on server meshing. Ivan Corbett and Jordan Wood left after Roger Godfrey quit last December. The company called these exits a major setback. The studio also cut jobs across all departments twice last year.
Players recently attacked the company for selling Flight Blades only for real money. The company promised to make these items available with game currency next month. Many fans remain upset, believing the company planned this move to create fear of missing out. Some think the studio always meant to sell them first, then add them as game rewards later. Star Citizen has collected over $800 million from supporters since 2012, but remains unfinished.
Despite attractive deals, TSMC turned down offers to build chip factories in Qatar, Singapore, and India. The company already makes chips in Japan and America, with US plants creating advanced 4-nanometer products. Building in America stirred debate because higher worker pay and supply problems could raise costs by about 30 percent. These countries wanted TSMC because it leads in making AI chips with its main customer, NVIDIA.
The chip maker bases factory decisions on where its customers need products, not just which country offers the best deal. TSMC needs trained workers and steady orders to earn back the billions spent on new buildings. Qatar tried hardest among the three countries, offering extra money to change TSMC's mind. Middle...
