China can no longer buy high-end NVIDIA RTX 5090D graphics cards. US trade rules changed, stopping these powerful computer chips from entering Chinese markets. Two weeks ago, NVIDIA called partners to halt making new chips because they broke strict export limits on memory speed. The ban comes during the second quarter, with current supplies running out soon. Companies making graphics cards cannot even place orders for these parts anymore.
Chinese customers must use less powerful chips like the RTX 5080 instead. The US government blocks chips with memory bandwidth above 1400 GB/s or input-output speed over 1100 GB/s from going to China. Both speeds together cannot exceed 1700 GB/s, making the RTX 5090D illegal to sell there. These...
Sucker Punch shared when Ghost of Yōtei arrives next year. The action game comes October 2, 2025, for PlayStation 5. Many fans eagerly await this sequel because the first game broke sales records for PlayStation 4. Its success led Sony to plan both new games and a movie directed by the John Wick filmmaker.
Former PlayStation leader Shuhei Yoshida played early versions of the new game. He claims it improves upon everything from the original. Japanese staff helped the American team respect Japanese culture throughout development. The creators visited actual locations to capture authentic feelings that players could experience. These efforts helped the first game boost tourism to real places shown in the story.

New iPhones planned for next year might include more memory. Apple wants to add 12GB of RAM to iPhone 17 Pro models to help them run several apps at once. Samsung will make most of these memory chips, with other companies filling the rest of the orders. This change could cost Apple about 50 percent more than the current memory chips. The company hopes that having multiple suppliers will help lower prices.
Regular iPhone 17 models might keep using 8GB RAM instead of getting the upgrade. Earlier rumors suggested all new models would get more memory, but supply problems changed these plans. Samsung will handle about 70 percent of orders, with SK hynix and Micron splitting the remaining work. These companies might team up with partners to...
Microsoft does not force game studios to use artificial intelligence tools. Compulsion Games leader Guillaume Provost made this clear at a recent Latin American game show. His team builds everything by hand with careful attention to art detail. They focus on creating experiences that feel handcrafted instead of machine-made. This approach fits with their studio values despite Microsoft investing heavily in AI technology.
The Provost mentioned that AI might help during the early planning stages. His team could use it for quick storyboards to test ideas before actual production begins. Their recent game, South of Midnight, reached over one million players through Game Pass subscriptions. This marks important progress for the Montreal...
GameStop sold its Canadian stores to McFarlane Toys co-owner Stephan Tetrault. He plans to rename them EB Games Canada. GameStop CEO Ryan Cohen looked for buyers since February with a message that poked fun at Canadian politics. Tetrault promises to create something special based on nostalgia and community values. The company operates about 185 locations across Canada.
GameStop Canada president Jim Tyo wants these stores to become cultural centers for gaming fans. Store signs, websites, and social media will change in the coming months. Many Canadians might feel confused since GameStop recently changed all EB Games stores to GameStop. Customers have complained about GameStop focusing more on toys than video games lately. People wonder...
The creator of Ecco the Dolphin says he will make old games fresh again. Ed Annunziata shared on Xbox Wire that he works with his original team to remaster two games from the series. They plan to release updated versions of Ecco the Dolphin and Ecco The Tides of Time. After that, a completely new third game will be built for modern players. The team wants to use the current graphics power for this next chapter.
Fans should check the official website, which shows a countdown ending April 25, 2026. Nobody knows if this date marks when remasters appear or just when we learn more details. SEGA filed paperwork earlier to keep rights to the Ecco name. These papers came because the series returns, not just as routine legal work. The first...
A new online game called Bitcraft Online arrives June 20 for early testing through Steam. Players can help improve this game because its code will be open for anyone to change.
Clockwork Labs made the game with teamwork as its main idea. Everyone plays together in the same world instead of separate areas like most online games. Friends can build towns or search for new areas across many pretty landscapes.
Players can change the land itself, shaping mountains or making structures that stay put. People choose different ways to play, such as making items, selling goods, exploring, or fighting monsters. Finding resources helps players survive as goods come only from what others create or find.
The game works on both Windows computers...
More Gigabyte RTX 50 GPU owners report thermal gel problems. The issue causes gel to seep from its proper place onto other parts. This first happened about ten days ago with a GeForce RTX 5080 card. Gigabyte said some early batches received extra thermal gel. They claimed this would not hurt performance or lifespan.
Three forum members recently shared similar experiences. One user named Remekra noticed gel moving toward input-output ports because his case mounts cards vertically. User TaLL saw gel slipping after just one week of use. Another person showed pictures of gel reaching the PCI-E connector. The company states they test cards thoroughly for stability through drops and different installation positions. No cards have failed yet...
Things have changed for Taiwanese makers since last year. Companies from the island nation rush to build plants in America as USA-made products gain importance. TSMC, Foxconn, Quanta, and others announced money for American factories, showing that supply chains are moving away from Taiwan. NVIDIA must adjust where it gets parts from, making Jensen Huang's visit very important.
The NVIDIA leader will land in Taiwan a week before Computex starts. He plans to host dinner with Taiwan business partners on May 17 and give a speech on May 19, filling his schedule with key events. News teams will report everything NVIDIA does at the show. Fans should watch for special coverage from the event.
