In August, inZOI released a demo of the game's Character Studio so that those who were interested to see how The Sims competitor played out could have a chance. The game was originally meant to be released before 2024 was finished, but it looks like that dream has been dashed, and it's now set to enter Early Access on March 28, 2025. Today, inZOI Director and Producer Kjun made an announcement in Discord, giving the statement that the Early Access period of the upcoming competitor has been delayed to March 28. inZOI was also a game that was showcased at […]
Although the Xbox Series X machine learning hardware is not on the same level as the PlayStation 5 Pro's, it has some use cases, but Microsoft never showed any interest in using it. Speaking during the latest episode of their Weekly podcast, the tech experts at Digital Foundry addressed a point of discussion that's been circulating on social media in the past few days, suggesting that Sony, with the PlayStation 5 Pro, has finally caught up with Microsoft regarding machine learning, saying that having machine learning hardware in the console, and not doing anything with it doesn't exactly mean catching […]
AMD's next-generation Zen 6-based Ryzen Desktop CPUs will remain compatible with the AM5 socket and launch a few years from now. AMD Ryzen "Zen 6" Desktop CPUs are rumored to be released roughly two years from now, but the good thing is, you won't have to change your motherboards We haven't witnessed all that AMD has to offer in the Zen 5 lineup. Although we did get the initial processor launch for desktops and laptops, AMD typically brings in more SKUs later on. Right now, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D is the most popular Zen 5 chip, featuring 8 cores on […]
The Federal Trade Commission has issued letters to major PC companies, demanding they review their warranty policies and the "languages" involved in them. FTC Claims Practices Such As "Warranty Void If Removed" Stickers Prevent Consumers From Exerting Their Rights In modern times, claiming warranties from manufacturers has become a problem for many consumers due to uncertain policies and strict RMA conditions. We have seen several occasions over public forums where users are sharing their negative experiences when claiming warranties, and this has created a bad impact on the markets, especially when it comes to images of big tech companies. However, […]
Intel's Optane SSDs were one of a kind, using 3DXPoint instead of NAND for storage. They had many advantages over traditional SSDs, amongst which include unusually high endurance ratings and extremely low latency. Even today, Optane SSDs like the 905p provide faster loading times than the best PCI-e 4 and PCI-e 5 SSDs on the market. One of the biggest reasons that Optane failed to catch on with enthusiasts was the price. When the 905p was initially released, the 1.5tb model sold for a jaw-dropping $2,199.99 - a price higher than the fastest consumer GPUs on the market! I recently […]
With a release date finally announced during today’s Nintendo Direct, Square-Enix has finally lifted the veil and shown off Dragon Quest III HD-2D for the first time in years in hopes of bringing the Erdrick trilogy to a new generation. While Square-Enix didn’t explicitly come out and say that they had plans for a trilogy during the hands-on preview, they noted that they wanted to start with Dragon Quest III chronologically as it was the first to come in the series. Nintendo spilled the beans during today's Nintendo Direct announcing the first two Dragon Quest titles also getting the HD-2D […]
As one of the hardest demo appointments to get into at Summer Game Fest's Play Days, we were excited to get hands-on with a quick thirty-minute demonstration of Phantom Blade Zero. Hardcore action titles such as this can have such a different vibe between watching someone else play the game during an online stream versus being able to pick up a controller and play for yourself. It was during Summer Game Fest 2024 that we finally got a brief taste of the Wuxia action players can look forward to in Phantom Blade Zero, a title that needs no introduction nor […]
Summer Game Fest, aka Geoff-con/Keighley-palooza, has come and gone. The E3 replacement included multiple online showcases and onsite events, each aimed at drumming up excitement for a flood of upcoming games. Which games rocked? Which ones sucked? Whi...
Of all the genres that NetEase has had a hand in publishing, a competitive fast-paced FPS hasn’t yet been one of them. The newly announced FragPunk from Bad Guitar Studio, a subsidiary of NetEase’s ThunderFire Studio, aims to bring the competitive 5v5 gunplay to the masses with a unique twist: Shard Cards. We got to experience the chaotic clash firsthand with a few rounds accompanied by two of the lead developers on the project. Recently unveiled during the Xbox Games Showcase, FragPunk is a fusion between two of the most popular competitive FPS on the market: Overwatch and Counter-Strike. From […]
Wccftech recently had the opportunity to get an intimate behind-closed-doors look at Monster Hunter Wilds with a 30-minute gameplay demonstration from the Director of the title himself, Yuya Tokuda. During this hands-off demo, Capcom showcased a selection of early game content, from departing the main village and venturing out into the wilds with a map size that they’re already touting as over two times larger than previous titles and featuring a seamless transition with no loading from camp to quest. As the player Hunter ventures out from the base camp riding on a Seikret, the new pack animal and mount […]
Tencent's TiMi Studios and Team Jade recently invited Wccftech to Los Angeles to get an early look at the team's first fully-fledged console (as well as PC and mobile) title, Delta Force: Hawk Ops. As the first new entry in the Delta Force franchise in fifteen years, Call of Duty Mobile's director Leo Yao has certainly picked a passion project that most modern gamers might have had the opportunity to play. Stepping away from the tactical roots of the Delta Force franchise, Hawk Ops aims to modernize the shooter series with modern components while retaining some of the signature elements […]
ARM's share over the Windows PC markets is expected to increase up to 50% as the firm gains massive architecture adoption from the industry amid the AI hype. Courtesy of the AI Hype, ARM-Based CPUs Have Seen Massive Adoption By Integrators Like Microsoft, Potentially Overthrowing x86 Dominance Well, this year will be known for marking the beginning of the AI PC era, and apart from that, the sudden uprise of ARM processors is astonishing to witness as well. Computex 2024 keynotes by Qualcomm along with multiple other tech manufacturers made it clear that moving into the next generation of computing, […]
Fittingly, Bandai Namco invited Wccftech and a number of other global journalists out to experience an exclusive hands-on with the upcoming DLC expansion for 2022’s Game of the Year, Elden Ring. The venue of choice was a cemetery in sunny Southern California and after a brief bus ride through Hollywood and passing by rows of elaborate tombstones and a live peacock enclosure, we were greeted by a choir quartet and a life-sized statue of Miquella’s Egg taken straight from Mohgwyn Palace. It’s here that Bandai Namco graciously lets us sit down for the first two hours of the upcoming Shadow […]

When NVMe heat sinks first hit the market, many of the units included with certain motherboards were gimmicks and actually resulted in higher SSD temperatures. Cooling m.2 drives wasn't really a concern back then, but today's PCI-e Gen 5 SSDs aren't able to sustain their peak performance without some form of cooling. The controller found in many PCI-e 5 SSDs currently on the market is Phison's E26, which has a TJ Max (maximum temperature) of 125C - much hotter than previous generation products. With temperatures up on modern SSDs, the need to keep modern Gen 5 SSDs cool has resulted […]
