News sources say PlayStation 5 will come with the new Call of Duty game soon. A trusted insider reports that these bundles might appear during the Days of Play event this month. Regular PS5 packages with Black Ops 6 might cost about $450, with digital versions around $400. Similar bundles happened with past Call of Duty releases.
These deals show how Microsoft changed its approach after buying Activision. Xbox games topped PlayStation charts last month. The company brings Gears of War to PlayStation this summer after years as Xbox-only. These deals offer better value than buying new Xbox systems. Nobody would have believed these changes back in 2019.
AMD prepares to share first-quarter financial results today as Trump tariffs hurt chip makers. The company faces $800 million in costs from new limits on selling advanced chips to China, which equal half what AMD earned last year. Lynx Equity warns investors that AMD stock prices will fall further. They believe most people miss how tariffs hurt AMD just like they hurt Intel.
The research firm thinks AMD will make $29.1 billion this year instead of the $31 billion others expect. This means AMD would grow only 13 percent from last year. Lynx sees AMD's stock price dropping to $90 based on lower earnings than Wall Street predicts. AMD did add $5 billion to its cash reserves before these problems hit. The stock has already lost 16 percent...
NVIDIA plans to release its RTX 5060 graphics card in mid-May after showing it at Computex 2025. The new budget card will compete against AMD models with 8 GB of memory. Stores are already preparing for the May 19 launch date, with PNY recently listing their version. This cheaper option offers 25 percent more processing cores than earlier models but keeps the same memory size.
The card runs faster with new GDDR7 memory chips reaching speeds of 28 Gbps through a 128-bit connection. It needs more electricity, using 145 watts compared to earlier versions that used 110 watts. Memory speed increases 64 percent over previous models. Leaked store listings show a $299 price tag, which might become the standard cost. Many gamers worry about...

Game fans who played Hordes of Hunger during early testing last year can finally grab it on Steam Early Access. The game mixes elements from Vampire Survivors, Hades, and hack-and-slash games into something special. Players control Mirah, who fights to save humanity from monster armies across different locations. She learns skills, crafts weapons, and gains permanent upgrades between missions through the characters she rescues.
Combat feels smooth with weapons like swords, hammers, and spears, each with special moves. Players choose from skills that boost stats or add elemental damage, which create powerful combinations during fights. Sometimes these effects become overwhelming on screen, making it hard to see what happens during...
Games cost more since 2020, but that jump would have happened anyway, says former PlayStation boss Shuhei Yoshida. Money loses value over time, he told PlayStation Inside. Players want bigger games that need more cash to make. These trends push prices higher for everyone.
Game makers try different ways to pay for their expensive projects. They release updated old games, sell to PC players, offer subscriptions, or add ongoing purchases. These methods help fund new major titles without charging players more upfront. The recent hit Clair Obscur showed teams can make great games with less money. Nintendo plans higher prices for Switch 2 games. Microsoft will charge $80 for some holiday releases after keeping prices steady when new systems...
Palantir shares fell 9 percent despite great earnings. The AI company posted 39 percent growth with $883.9 million in revenue, beating what experts expected. They set a record $810 million in business deals, growing 183 percent from last year. Their government side also did well with 139 deals worth over $1 million each. They struggled only with international business, which shrank 5 percent.
Wall Street analysts remain excited about Palantir's future. Goldman Sachs called them well-positioned because more companies want AI systems. Mizuho raised concerns about the high stock price, currently 60 times expected 2026 revenue. Wedbush believes Palantir might reach a trillion-dollar value within three years. Jeffries praised their...
A hit video game began because its creator grew tired of his job at Ubisoft. Guillaume Broche wanted something fresh when he left the French publisher to make Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. He drew ideas from Final Fantasy games he loved as a child. Broche found his team through unusual channels. He sent Reddit messages seeking voice actors for a free demo.
Writer Jennifer Svedberg-Yen first answered his call for voice talent before becoming lead writer. Composer Lorien Testard came from SoundCloud with no previous game experience. Broche credits much of his hiring success to the pandemic, when people craved creative work. His careful selection of candidates who matched his vision helped build the right team. Luck played a major role as...
Goldman Sachs notes Tesla can face different challenges with self-driving cars in China versus America. The bank keeps its neutral rating with a $235 price target for Tesla stock. The company launched full self-driving features in China despite having limited driving data from Chinese roads. Tesla stock climbed 23% after earnings when Elon Musk promised to focus more on the car company.
According to Goldman, Tesla might introduce robot taxis in Texas this June. Chinese drivers have many self-driving options beyond Tesla products. Success depends on Tesla making better technology at lower costs than rivals. American buyers might prefer Tesla robot taxis because manufacturing costs could stay lower than competitors. Chinese markets...
