MSI packed its Computex booth with new tech for home users and small businesses. The company showed off its EdgeXpert MS-C931, a small but mighty machine based on NVIDIA GB10 parts. This tiny powerhouse comes with 128 GB of memory and offers 1000 AI TOPs performance. People who need more graphics power can pick the MEG Vision X AI 2nd desktop with a Core Ultra 9 chip and RTX 5090 card.
MSI also created new cooling systems for computers. Their MEG CoreLiquid E13 360 sports a large 6-inch screen on the CPU block that turns when needed. The MPG CoreLiquid P13 360 features a smaller 2.1-inch screen that users can change as they like. Both models work with Intel and AMD systems through quick mounting brackets. MSI aims these products at...
Palit showed graphics cards at their booth with several new designs. Their concept GameRock Diamond Edition has a white outer case with diamond patterns lit up with colorful lights. The company made this model after fans asked for it based on earlier versions they liked. The white theme extends to the back plate for a complete look.
Visitors also saw the RTX 5090 Tornado model at the display. This card looks like the standard RTX 5090, with two fans on the front that push air out the back. It fits in just two slots despite handling 600 watts of power with its metal body. Palit created another water-cooled option called LYNK+ with quick connectors that twist off easily. They decorated some Gaming PRO cards with themes from the Doom: The...
Someone leaked Battlefield 6 gameplay online. The clips appeared on X from user goodboy, who recorded them during recent test sessions. These videos show battles in city areas that feel much like older games in the series. Players notice the screen looks busy with many icons and information panels. Developers might change this before they show the game officially.
Battlefield 6 offers both team fights and a single-player story mode for one player. Reports say the campaign draws ideas from the TV show Lioness and the movie Civil War. Creative Director Roman Campos-Oriola wants to tell stories about normal people facing huge challenges. The team learned useful lessons from making the Dead Space remake. Game makers plan to reveal...
Microsoft says Apple caused delays for its Xbox mobile store. The tech giant filed papers backing Epic Games against Apple in court. A recent ruling should have let Microsoft launch its store where players buy items outside apps for use inside games. Apple blocks this with policies that limit what Microsoft can tell users about other payment options. These rules make costs higher than before the court order.
Microsoft wants Xbox app users on iPhones to buy and stream games through the cloud or from other devices. Current Apple rules stop these features from working together despite the court order opening this possibility. Microsoft fears Apple might restore all restrictions if it wins its appeal. The Xbox mobile store was first...
PNY showed off new graphics cards from its Iron Core series at its 40th birthday event. The GeForce RTX 5090 and 5080 models have shiny chrome cases that catch eyes but not fingerprints, thanks to special coatings. These cards need three slots inside computers with their thick cooling systems and triple fans. The RTX 5070 Ti model uses a blower design that fits in two slots and skips the colorful lights found on bigger cards.
Small computers can use the tiny RTX 5060 card with just one fan. This compact version still offers good gaming power for $299. Jensen Huang signed three display models during his visit to the PNY booth. The company plans to make only a limited number of these Chrome Iron Core cards when they go on sale later this...
A member of the Death Stranding 2 team says PlayStation 5 makes game creation more efficient rather than much more powerful than PS4. The main improvement comes from faster loading times on the newer console. Artists can build worlds without many limits on PS5, not needing workarounds to make levels work right. This freedom creates new problems for the programming team, who must solve fresh technical issues. The chief tech officer told Edge Magazine that artists sometimes run wild with these new abilities at Kojima Productions.
The current gaming systems might mark the end of huge leaps between console generations, though Microsoft still promises big advances for future machines. Games like Death Stranding 2 show amazing visuals on...
Carrie Patel left Obsidian after working there for more than 11 years to join Netflix at Night School Studio. She announced her move on LinkedIn despite earlier saying she wanted to make more games in the Avowed world after finding her team's rhythm. Her exit surprised many because she appeared happy at the company. She might have received a better job offer.
Night School Studio cut staff just three months ago. They released the mobile game Thronglets after their 2023 title, Oxenfree II. Patel brings RPG experience from Pillars of Eternity and The Outer Worlds, hinting at a possible shift toward role-playing games at her new studio.
Avowed players can expect many updates coming soon. The summer patch adds new abilities for characters...
MediaTek planned to show its new AI smartphone chip at Computex 2025 with NVIDIA, but faces major setbacks. The company struggles to enter the Windows laptop market because laptop makers seem uninterested in its chips. Staff at the MediaTek booth told WinFuture it might take time before anyone sees this chip. Poor relations between MediaTek and Microsoft create barriers for the Taiwanese firm.
These problems help Qualcomm maintain its strong position in ARM-based laptops. The Kompanio Ultra 910 chip, made with advanced 3nm technology, will not appear at the event despite having enough power for Windows machines. Reports say Microsoft once blocked MediaTek from making Windows Phone chips years ago because of business interests. Many...
Rayman might return after years away from the spotlight. Internet users found job listings at Ubisoft Milan for people to work on this famous character. The studio wants a Senior Game Designer with strong experience for the Rayman brand. They also need a 3D Gameplay Animator for what they call a prestigious AAA title. This team created the Mario + Rabbids games, where Rayman appeared in extra content.
Before Assassin's Creed became popular, Ubisoft mainly featured Rayman as its star character. The odd-looking hero first appeared in 1995 and gained many fans through several platform games. Rayman Legends from 2013 stands as the most praised game, but also the last main series release. Reports from Insider Gaming suggest the new project...
