Apple is increasingly focusing on building its own devices and expanding its ecosystem by taking steps towards a more native experience for users and relying less on third-party accessories. While the Cupertino-based tech giant's HomePod and AppleTV have left quite the mark in the smart home category, it generally relies more on outsourcing cameras and other hardware for smart homes. Now, a new report suggests that the company intends to create a fully integrated experience by developing its own smart home accessories. Gurman hints about Apple working on making smart home products like security cameras for a more integrated experience […]

Gaijin Entertainment has not one but two games enhanced for Sony's newly released PS5 Pro console at launch: the first-person tactical multiplayer WWII shooter Enlisted, originally released in 2020, and the vehicle combat multiplayer game War Thunder, which has been continuously updated since 2013. To learn how both games have been improved to leverage the most powerful console hardware currently on the market, we interviewed Gergo Horvath, a Graphics Programmer on Gaijin's proprietary Dagor Engine for over four years. Horvath admitted that the PlayStation 5 Pro's improvement over the PS5 is smaller than that seen in the previous generation between […]
Today, Respawn Entertainment and Electronic Arts have announced the details of the PS5 Pro enhancements for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. The main advancement in both modes is that the base resolutions have been greatly increased compared to the base PlayStation 5 version. The game's Quality mode retains a 4K resolution and ray-traced elements but is now upscaled from 1800p to 2160p, thus increasing fidelity. Likewise, the Performance mode now runs at a higher resolution of 1800p (upscaled from 1200p) and also introduces raytraced occlusion and reflections while continuing to target 60 frames per second. Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is notorious […]
Sony has presented the PlayStation 5 Pro as the quinessential mid-generation refresh, boasting far more impressive graphics and fidelity from the base console. At a price point that some gamers will find difficult to justify, Sony has a long road ahead of themselves to prove why gamers need such an impressive graphical powerhouse when a powerful GPU upgrade could be obtained for the same price on PC.
Fatshark has officially announced that Warhammer 40,000: Darktide will be coming to PS5 on December 3. The game will only be available digitally, and pre-orders are open for those who want to purchase the title. Additionally, for those who pre-order the Imperial Edition, you'll be eligible to play the game six days early.

For those eyeing up the title release on PS5, you'll be able to purchase the Standard Edition of Warhammer 40,000: […]
The PS5 Pro update for No Man's Sky actually went stealthily live with the Cursed Halloween update, but back then, no one from the public had access to the console yet. That's changed now, with several teardowns already published. As part of its fresh press release about the new Cross-Save update, the British developer (which had previously praised Sony's upcoming console) has shared more details about the PS5 Pro patch. The game will offer a 4K@60FPS mode where the graphics settings have been enhanced compared to the PS5 and even an 8K@30FPS mode. This is largely thanks to the PSSR, […]
Nexon has consistently kept The First Descendant at the forefront of graphics and display technologies. The free-to-play third-person looter shooter game looked great from the first time we saw it, but it was initially developed with Unreal Engine 4. However, the team switched to Unreal Engine 5 as soon as they could to take advantage of Nanite and Lumen, as they believed the latter in particular to be 'essential' for next-generation projects. In the first interview published on Wccftech two years ago, the developers confirmed support for various ray traced effects, NVIDIA DLSS Super Resolution and Frame Generation, AMD FidelityFX […]
The PS5 Pro is fast approaching, and with it comes a ton of enhanced games that will be released on the console, offering new graphical fidelity options and upgrades to make it a worthwhile experience to play on that console rather than the ordinary PS5. The list of PS5 Pro-enhanced games is already pretty hefty and continues to grow. As a matter of fact, it's double the list of games that the PS4 Pro had when it launched. When the PS4 Pro launched, it had over 40 enhanced games, with the console being released in November 2016. So far, the […]
Sony’s PS5 Pro, a $700 mid-gen upgrade of the PlayStation 5, launches later this week. And ahead of its official launch, Sony has sent over a PS5 Pro for us to play with and poke at. And while I can’t say anything (yet) about how games play or look on ...
Slitterhead is an experience that's fantastic in still shots or in story trailers but the actual gameplay becomes a muddled mess when the player is forced into repetitive chase and combat sequences.
A new update for Lords of the Fallen is launching today, thanks to creators CI Games and HEXWORKS. With this update comes a brand new tutorial, updates to the Umbral system, and some gameplay balancing to provide a smoother experience for those who are getting stuck into the game. In addition, Update 1.6 for Lords of the Fallen adds the PS5 Pro enhancement update, which provides a ton of graphical improvements for those who plan on picking up the game. One of the most critical parts of the update, other than the graphical improvements, is the enhanced onboarding and tutorial […]
With only three days to go before the launch of the PS5 Pro console, Sony is understandably ramping up the marketing. Their most recent video shows Insomniac Games (in particular, the team behind Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart) talking about what's most exciting about the new hardware. The highlighted feature is, once again, PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution. Marcus Smith (Creative Director): As a developer, Insomniac Games is always trying to do the biggest and the best and bring the deepest experiences to players. Lindsay Thompson (Animation Lead): Knowing that gamers have to choose between the two modes of Performance or […]
While the PS5 Pro isn't officially out until November 7, some people have started getting their hands on Sony's revised PlayStation 5 console. An unboxing video was posted a couple of days ago and quickly taken down; now, Brazilian content creator Brunno Fast has also managed to secure a console and subsequently shared the full spec sheet document included in the box. By far the biggest surprise is that Sony added 2GB of DDR 5 RAM. These are likely to be reserved for the OS so that game developers can fully utilize the 16 GB of GDDR6 for the actual […]
