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 […]
In a development that has provided a fresh upward jolt to the shares of Trump Media and Technology Group (NASDAQ: DJT), the parent entity of Truth Social platform, the US president-elect has now unambiguously denied a rumor that pertained to his gigantic stake in the newly formed company. To wit, in a dedicated Truth Social post, Trump has termed all rumors regarding his supposed intention to reduce his stake in Trump Media and Technology Group "fake, untrue, and probably Illegal." There are fake, untrue, and probably illegal rumors and/or statements made by, perhaps, market manipulators or short sellers, that I […]

2023 was a year of extremes, with a lot of great games, but a lot of notably bad games as well. Quantum Error was one of the latter. Developed by TeamKill Media, Quantum Error garnered attention for being one of the earlier games to commit to using Unreal Engine 5, its solid voice cast, and its PS5 exclusivity (PC and Xbox Series X versions were announced at various times, but never materialized). Unfortunately, the game ended up being kind of mess, with reviewers and players alike lambasting it. That said, unlike the developers of some other poorly reviewed 2023 games, […]
Could Rare’s Sea of Thieves be setting sail to Sony and Nintendo platforms? In recent days, insider Nate the Hate got the rumor mill churning when he stated a “acclaimed” Xbox exclusive may make the jump to other platforms. Piggybacking on these rumors, on the most recent episode of Game Mess Mornings wanton leaker Jeff Grubb said Sea of Thieves was his first thought when talk of an Xbox game coming to other platforms surfaced, as he’s heard the game “could” come to Switch and PlayStation. "Sea of Thieves, right---I'll say I've heard that is one that might be coming […]
As is often the case, the folks at PlayStation have released a hype video for the new year, showcasing some of the games that will be arriving on PS5 in 2024. In addition to generally being a fun watch, the trailer also essentially confirms 2024 releases for a number of games that hadn’t solidified a release window yet, including Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, the Silent Hill 2 remake, and Firewalk Studios’ mysterious PvP shooter Concord. You can check out the PlayStation 2024 hype trailer, below. In addition to the trailer, Sony also has a new website showcasing some […]
While the big three console makers will sometimes crow about sales when it suits them, getting exact sales numbers out of Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo is difficult. That said, thanks to the huge Insomniac Games ransomware leak, which has revealed the studio’s lineup for the next decade and much more, we now have solid sales figures for PlayStation up until approximately a couple of years ago. The document, which was uncovered and shared on the ResetEra forums, offers very in-depth figures for Sony’s entire PS4 catalog, as well as PS5 games up until around the end of 2021 or very […]
Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora is a pretty impressive visual package on PC, with its highest “Unobtanium” settings challenging even the beefiest of GPUs, but how does the game fare on consoles? Thankfully, the answer is “pretty darn well!” I can confirm this from my own play testing, but the folks at Digital Foundry has given the game a full analysis on Xbox Series X/S and PS5, and the results are fairly impressive. You can check out their full video below, provided you have around 20 minutes to spare, or you can scroll on down for our rundown of the salient […]
The former NPD Group (now named “Circana”) has released its full North American sales data for November, typically the biggest gaming month of the year, and surprisingly, the results weren’t that great. Players spent $5.9 billion on games, additional content, and hardware in November, a 9 percent year-on-year decrease. This was largely driven by a 24 percent drop in hardware spending, with all consoles being down double digits year-on-year. The PlayStation 5 was the #1 console, followed by the Xbox Series X/S, with the Switch really dropping off this season. It seems like inflation, and rumors that a new Switch […]

Over the past few years, there have been scattered hints Microsoft would like to bring their Xbox Game Pass service to rival consoles like the PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch. Talk about this heated up in a major way recently, when Xbox CFO Tim Stuart said they want to get Game Pass on “every screen that will play games,” including PlayStation and Nintendo consoles. Juicy! But perhaps we need to slow down a little. In an interview with Windows Central posted today, Xbox boss Phil Spencer poured some cold water on the notion of Game Pass on Sony or Nintendo […]
Black Friday is almost here, and while we got some hints about European PlayStation deals last week, Sony has now fully rolled out their deals on hardware, games, PS Plus, and more. The headliner is that Sony is offering a discount on Spider-Man 2 and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II PS5 bundles. You can grab both for $500 in the US (down from the usual price of $560). The deals are even better in the UK and Europe, where, for instance, you can an EA Sports FC 24 or Spider-Man 2 PS5 bundle for £410 (a £120 pound discount). […]
Sony has been no stranger to experimenting with remote play for the past two and a half console generations. Since the technology first appeared on PlayStation 3, the only official Sony devices to offer remote play capabilities were of the PlayStation Vita line of devices, VAIO laptops, Bravia televisions, and their Xperia Play phone. The walled garden opened up with the PlayStation 4 as phones and PCs outside of the Sony ecosystem began offering up licensed Sony apps and even some third-party developers releasing PSPlay on both iOS and Android. Now, more than a decade since the PlayStation Vita hit […]
Black Friday is rapidly approaching, and some companies, like Nintendo, have already revealed their official lineup of deals, while others are lagging a bit behind. Sony hasn’t yet revealed what kind of bargains US players can expect, but it seems they may have quietly let slip their European deals (Black Friday is a worldwide phenomenon at this point). The Spanish version of the PlayStation Blog has posted a variety of Black Friday deals, which include a nice discount on the original disc-equipped version of the PS5 (as opposed to the new “slim” model) – you can grab a PS5 for […]
