EA will keep game prices steady as other companies raise theirs. The company told investors it plans no price changes right away. Chief Andrew Wilson said their business works differently than ten years ago, when they sold most games as discs in stores. EA offers various price points, from free games to deluxe versions that cost more. They focus on making high-quality products worth the money to players.
Financial chief Stuart Canfield confirmed they stick with the current pricing for games. EA might look good holding prices steady, but could raise them later after other companies do it first. Nintendo already pushed prices up with Mario Kart World before others. Microsoft plans higher prices this holiday season. PlayStation keeps the...
Stores started listing AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT cards ahead of their launch this month. Leaker momomo_us found ASUS listings for both 8 GB and 16 GB versions. These cards aim to compete with NVIDIA RTX 5060 Ti at similar price points. Basic models like ASUS DUAL will have 8 GB memory, but premium versions such as PRIME and TUF will pack 16 GB.
The 8 GB version faces limited availability because modern games need more memory. NVIDIA already saw problems with their 8 GB RTX 5060 Ti model. The new AMD cards use Navi 44 chips with 2,048 stream processors and a 128-bit memory bus. Clock speeds reach 2620 MHz for gaming and 3230 MHz when boosted. AMD plans to show these cards at Computex 2025 with sales starting in June.

OnePlus might make a phone with a huge 7,800mAh battery. The company has already put a 6,260mAh power cell inside the OnePlus 13T. Silicon-carbon technology made this possible. Chinese phone makers started using this tech widely for larger batteries without making phones thicker.
A person called Digital Chat Station shared this news online. The rumored device will use the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip just like current models. Engineers might need to move parts around inside the phone to fit such a large battery. The OnePlus 13T already showed clever design with its 6.32-inch screen paired with a dual camera setup. Few details exist about screen size or other features for this upcoming device.
PlayStation added TeamLFG to its studio family. The name stands for Looking For Group. People who made games like Destiny, Halo, Fortnite, Roblox, Rec Room, and League of Legends work there. Their office is in Bellevue. They plan to make a team action game that mixes fighting games, platformers, MOBAs, life sims, and frog games.
The game takes place in a funny science fantasy world. PlayStation boss Herman Hulst calls it an ambitious project. After several tries at live service games, this might become the big hit PlayStation wants. The team plans to let players test early versions and give feedback during development. They say listening to players matters a lot for this game.
We will probably have to wait a long time before seeing...
Someone showed real parts from a Nintendo Switch 2 today. The person bought the console early through unofficial sellers. A video gives us our first look at the main computer board inside the system. Tests prove the brain chip measures 207mm², almost twice as large as the first Switch chip. This chip dates back to 2021, which tells us Nintendo finished it years ago.
The graphics part uses Ampere technology but seems more like Ada Lovelace with an unusual layout. It comes with 1536 CUDA cores spread across six TPCs with two SMs each. This setup appears similar to mid-range laptop graphics cards. The manufacturing process sits between 8nm and 10nm of Samsung technology. The chip size exceeds the RTX 3050 Ti mobile GPU.

Super Micro Computer shares fell after their latest report met only lowered targets. The server maker announced $4.6 billion in sales for the spring quarter but missed what Wall Street expected. They predict summer quarter sales between $5.6 billion and $6.4 billion, less than market hopes of $6.8 billion. The company backed away from earlier promises about next year's earnings due to trade rule worries. Citi analysts cut their price goal for the stock to just $37.
Some experts blame the sales slowdown on customers waiting for newer chips before buying. Rosenblatt says about $1 billion in sales moved to later months because buyers want Nvidia Blackwell chips instead. Despite these troubles, Needham analyst Quinn Bolton sees the company...
CCP Games showed off new stuff at EVE Fanfest 2025. They talked about EVE Online updates, their shooter game Vanguard, and a fresh title called Frontier. CEO Hilmar Pétursson says Frontier will run alongside EVE Online, not replace it. The company wants former players from its twenty million past user pool to try Frontier without hurting current EVE numbers.
Frontier runs four times faster than EVE Online and might test ideas later used in the main game. The boss claims Frontier feels more like original EVE than a sequel. EVE has struggled to welcome new players for years. They hope a new freelance job system helps newcomers work with corporations without fully joining them right away.
Their upcoming shooter, Vanguard, learned from...
ZESA tells people to expect less power after a breakdown at the Hwange coal plant on Sunday. The power company must cut electricity more often for all customers because of this surprise problem. They never said if the issue happened with older machines or the fresh units built by Chinese workers.
Hwange produced 979 megawatts on Saturday before the trouble started. Kariba dam added 400 megawatts to the grid. Private companies chipped in another 75 megawatts, for a total of 1,454 megawatts, not counting imports. Zimbabwe needs about 2,000 megawatts during busy times, but produces less than that. The gap between what people need and what ZESA creates causes daily blackouts lasting up to eight hours.
Police caught a man who ran from prison almost three years ago. Officers arrested Hillary Chiduwo at his mom's house in Wedza after someone told them where he lived. The 38-year-old man broke free from Chikurubi Prison Farm back in May 2022. He stayed hidden all this time until police found him on May 1. Law officers also wanted him for three break-ins.
Chiduwo escaped during his sentence at the high-security jail. Zimbabwe Republic Police searched for him across the area before finally tracking him to Chipipiro Village. The arrest ended his long time away from prison. He faces fresh charges along with his original sentence. Residents helped lead police to his hiding spot.
