Qualcomm has built a huge CPU empire over the decades. However, much of the company's product base, like the vast range of Snapdragon processors, all use technology licensed out via ARM. Now, a dispute between Arm and Qualcomm could blow it all up.

AMD is reportedly expanding its AM4 platform with two new Ryzen 5 5600 series CPUs, as seen by fresh listings on motherboard sites. Each manufacturer has a list of compatible CPUs for each motherboard and BIOS version, and these lists now include the Ryzen 5600T and 5600XT, both of which are 6C/12T processors.

AMD launched its first wave of Ryzen 9000 series desktop processors earlier this year, but many gamers have been holding off for the X3D-equipped versions. Typically, the 3D V-Cache in X3D processors leads to better gaming performance. Soon, AMD will launch its first Zen 5 X3D CPUs. 

Sony has been slowly but surely accelerating how quickly they bring their PlayStation 5 console exclusives to PC, with the likes of God of War Ragnarök arriving just under two years from its initial release. The next game coming to the platform is Spider-Man 2 – set to drop onto Steam and Epic this upcoming January.

For decades, Atlus has been most known as the studio behind the much-loved RPG series Shin Megami Tensei as well as its arguably more popular spin-off ‘Persona’. As such, expanding out with a new IP appeared to have been a risky move for the studio – a move which has paid off, as Metaphor: ReFantazio is currently the highest rated game of 2024.

There has been a big shake-up behind the scenes at Microsoft for Halo. After the Slipstream engine proved to be a failure that hampered the development of Halo Infinite, future titles will be developed with Unreal Engine 5. On top of that, 343 Industries is now known as Halo Studios. 

With Halo Infinite failing to become the decade-long platform that Microsoft and 343 Industries were hoping it would evolve into, there have been many leaks and rumours discussing the team’s plan for the franchise’s future. In amongst talk of a switch to Unreal Engine 5 as well as a remake of Halo: Combat Evolved, 343i have announced a surprise 3rd-person mode coming to Infinite next month.

Just over a year ago, Bethesda Games Studios released Starfield – a ‘big space game’ which had been ruminating in Todd Howard’s mind for over 25 years. Despite its grand ambitions, the title saw a mixed reaction from fans, though positive critic reviews. Unfortunately, it seems as though Starfield’s first expansion ‘Shattered Space’ has failed to impress players on both sides.

Following months of leaks and rumours, Sony officially announced the remaster for its 2017 PS4 title Horizon Zero Dawn – set to come to PS5 and PC on the 31st of October.

During E3 2014 on the PlayStation showcase stage, Hello Games showed off No Man’s Sky in a presentation which has now become iconic. Once an infamous example of a game failing to live up to its initial expectations, the launch of No Man’s Sky in 2016 was just the beginning. More than a decade on from its initial reveal and over 8 years from the game’s 1.0 launch, Hello Games’ No Man’s Sky is the epitome of the redemption story.
