EA studio Codemasters made two major announcements about their racing games. F1 25 players received good news with the first gameplay reveal showing reversed tracks and improvements from LIDAR scanning that add more realism. The rebuilt tracks feature enhanced details for players eager to race.
Rally fans heard disappointing news as Codemasters confirmed they're stopping development on future rally racing titles. The 2024 season expansion for EA Sports WRC 2023 will be their final rally content. Existing WRC games will remain available to play. This ends a long history with rally racing that started with Colin McRae Rally and continued through the DiRT series.
F1 25 looks impressive with four updated circuits already shown. Creative...
SpaceX keeps testing for its next Starship launch at Boca Chica, Texas. The company moved an upgraded upper-stage rocket to the test stand yesterday after a break from testing since Flight 8 failed in March. Workers filled fuel tanks but later emptied them without firing engines, which remains a major hurdle since the first launch damaged the pad.
The Starship program faces challenges with its second stage. Design changes first appeared in January during Flight 7, which ended when the ship blew up over the Caribbean Sea. Testing showed vibrations caused a fire that shut down an engine. Less than two months later, Flight 8 met a similar fate when the second stage exploded again during ascent, though SpaceX hasn't shared what went wrong...
PlayStation Plus offers three new games next month. Players can download Balatro, Ark: Survival Ascended, and Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun starting May 6. These games replace April's lineup of RoboCop: Rogue City, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth - Hacker's Memory. Members have until May 5 to add the current games to their accounts.
The news comes after Sony announced they would remove over 20 games from higher subscription tiers. First-party titles like Resistance 1 and 2 will soon leave the service. Grand Theft Auto V, Ghostrunner, and Infamous: Second Son also exit the Extra and Premium catalogs. Many players feel frustrated since prices have just gone up in more than 20 countries. The United States hasn't...
Players loved Sea of Stars when it came out last year. The game won the best indie title at The Game Awards. It sold more than 250,000 copies in its first week. Later, maker Sabotage Studio said over 4 million people played the game. Fans have many reasons to enjoy this title.
A free add-on called Throes of the Watchmaker arrives May 20. Anyone who has Sea of Stars can download this extra content. The DLC adds about 8 hours of gameplay. It follows heroes Valere and Zale on a new adventure. They travel to a place called Horloge.
The land faces trouble from an evil carnival. The trailer shows the heroes fighting dark versions of themselves. The last update added three-player team play, both online and at home. The combat changes from...
NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang wants President Trump to change course on AI export rules. He told reporters the government must help spread American AI technology worldwide—the current policy divides countries into tiers with different limits for chip sales. The Trump team plans to replace it with a licensing system before May 15. Countries would need special permission to buy advanced AI chips from America.
Huang believes the world has changed since officials created the first rule. The licensing approach lets Trump pick which nations can access top technology. This might hurt NVIDIA sales in places like China, where they sell many chips. China has become a serious competitor through companies like Huawei, which makes its advanced chips...
Borderlands 4 will arrive earlier than planned, moving from September 23 to September 12. Fans wondered if this change happened because of Grand Theft Auto VI coming later this year. Gearbox leader Randy Pitchford denied this on social media. He claimed the game finished ahead of schedule. Pitchford wrote that bug fixing went faster than expected.
He stated the move had nothing to do with any other game releases. Take-Two publishes both Borderlands and Grand Theft Auto games. The company might have asked about moving the date, or Pitchford might have suggested it himself. Whatever happened, the final choice probably came from how well development progressed. Most games want to avoid launching near GTA VI.
When GTA VI launches, it will...
Samsung aims to start making 2nm chips late next year. The company shared this goal during its recent earnings report. It wants to catch up with rival TSMC, which began taking orders for similar chips this month. Early tests showed Samsung chips working at a 30 percent success rate. The firm hopes these new chips will make up for poor results with its 3nm technology.
Money from chip making stayed low because of slow phone sales and unused factory space. Samsung keeps working to improve how many good chips it can make with each try. The company also landed new orders for 2nm and 4nm chips for thinking machines and fast computers. Next quarter, Samsung plans to make its 2nm process more stable and earn more by selling to car makers and...
Funcom showed off base building in their new Dune game today. Players need strong bases with shields to survive harsh storms on planet Arrakis.

Intel told officials today that sales chief Christopher Schell plans to leave on June 30. The company shared this news through paperwork filed with regulators, but gave few details about his exit. His departure comes right after new CEO Lip-Bu Tan made pleasing customers a top goal for fixing the company. Tan believes happy customers lead to better value for people who invest in Intel. The company has not named who will take over Schell's job.
The announcement happened just one day after Intel held a factory event in California. At this event, Intel said its new 18A manufacturing process remains on schedule for 2025. This process will compete with similar technology from Taiwan maker TSMC. Intel also announced a version called 18A-P...
