Valve is experimenting with a new video codec called Pyrowave for Steam Remote Play, with the goal of reducing streaming latency on fast local networks. Unlike H.264 and H.265, Pyrowave is not primarily designed to save bandwidth. It instead reduces compression work and prioritizes image quality and responsiveness, shifting more of the load onto the network. That tradeoff makes the codec most suitable for

ASUS has released GPU Tweak III version 2.1.9.5 with a new protection option that can shut down a PC immediately when a configured GPU power threshold is reached. The feature expands the company's Power Detector+ system, which monitors current flowing through individual pins on supported 12VHPWR and 12V 2x6 power connectors. The latest update is mainly aimed at selected ASUS graphics cards such as

Blizzard has confirmed that Diablo 5 will explain how Diablo managed to conquer Sanctuary, even though the game begins after his victory has already taken place. The next mainline entry starts with Sanctuary under Diablo's control and humanity in ruins.

Alien: Isolation 2 is being developed with Unreal Engine 5, but Creative Assembly says the engine alone could not deliver every element needed for the sequel's dark and reactive environments. The studio has built custom lighting and audio technology on top of Unreal Engine 5 to improve environmental response, reflections and spatial sound. The goal is to create scenes where weather, alarms, fire and

Raspberry Pi has confirmed that its newer firmware locks supported boards to the amount of RAM installed at the factory, making memory chip replacements and capacity upgrades considerably more difficult for hardware enthusiasts. The restriction means that removing the original memory chip and soldering a higher capacity replacement onto a Raspberry Pi will not automatically give the board access to the extra memory. The

Activision’s newly announced Halo project is reportedly being developed as a full mainline installment rather than another remake or smaller side project. The description comes from people familiar with the project, who characterize the game as a “full feature, mainline installment.” That wording suggests Activision could be working on the next major chapter in the Halo series, although Microsoft has not officially confirmed whether

Ubisoft has shown more of Rayman Legends Retold in a new overview trailer, detailing the remake's expanded story, fully voiced cinematics, new areas and additional gameplay modes ahead of its December 3 release.

Zeverland is taking a different approach to the zombie survival genre by combining detailed survival mechanics with a colorful, approachable presentation and a strong focus on cooperation. The project originally started as a free MMO, but its direction changed after an early playtest showed players were more interested in rebuilding the world than simply following quests. That feedback pushed the developers toward a buy

A gaming mouse experiment comparing polling rates from 125 Hz to 8,000 Hz found that higher polling rates did not consistently improve aim, while switching to a lower DPI produced a much clearer benefit. The test used the Asus ROG Harpe II Extreme Edition 20, which supports up to 65,000 DPI and an 8,000 Hz polling rate. Aimlabs Gridshot Ultimate was used to measure

Apple's new M6 processor is offering an early look at what TSMC's 2nm class manufacturing process could mean for future PC CPUs and GPUs. The chip is built on TSMC's N2 process and early testing points to meaningful improvements in both performance and efficiency compared with the previous M5 generation. That matters beyond Apple's own hardware. AMD, Nvidia and potentially Intel are all expected
