Nintendo Switch 2 security has faced a notable challenge after developer Gezine disclosed a new userland exploit that reportedly works entirely offline and across every current firmware version. The exploit also supports the original Nintendo Switch, but its importance is greater on Switch 2 because Nintendo has continued strengthening the newer console through frequent firmware updates and additional hardware security. Unlike earlier entry points,

Midgar Studio, the French developer behind Edge of Eternity and the upcoming Edge of Memories, has officially shut down after failing to secure an acquirer during its court supervised restructuring process.

The Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake may finally receive a full reveal before the end of 2026, following years of uncertainty and a complete development restart under Saber Interactive. The project was originally announced several years ago but later moved away from Aspyr Media after reported production problems. Saber Interactive took control and is said to have rebuilt the game from

SharpEmu has reached a notable early milestone in PlayStation 5 emulation by loading Demon’s Souls far enough to display its character creation screen on PC. The progress remains far from full gameplay, but reaching this stage shows that the emulator can already process several important parts of the game’s startup sequence. SharpEmu can load the game executable, run native CPU instructions, and handle some

Splatoon Raiders takes Nintendo’s colourful shooter series in a more focused direction, replacing the usual mix of competitive multiplayer, cooperative defence, and single player content with a campaign built mainly around raids, loot, upgrades, and repeated battles against Salmonids. The result is a narrower game than earlier Splatoon releases, but also one with a clear sense of purpose. Its mission structure is easy to

CD Projekt Red will reveal The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt expansion Songs of the Past during Gamescom Opening Night Live on August 25, 2026. The presentation will provide the first proper look at the new expansion, which is scheduled for release in 2027. CD Projekt Red is developing the project alongside Fool’s Theory, the studio also working on the remake of the original Witcher

The PlayStation Vita can now stream Xbox games through a new homebrew application that connects the discontinued Sony handheld to Xbox Cloud Gaming. The application, called GreenVita, is a native client developed by Day OS. It allows supported PlayStation Vita systems to stream games available through Xbox Cloud Gaming, including titles such as Halo Infinite and Forza Horizon 5. GreenVita uses the Vita’s hardware

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth has received another major visual upgrade on PC through Shader Injector version 2.1.0, which addresses complaints about overly dark scenes while improving global illumination and reflections. The mod already offered a substantial lighting overhaul in version 2.0, reducing the flat appearance seen in parts of the original PC release. Its latest update refines those changes and makes the presentation more

Microsoft reportedly moved quickly to secure STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl as an Xbox console exclusive after seeing the strong response to one of the game’s trailers. GSC Game World founder Serhiy Hryhorovych said the trailer’s YouTube performance attracted Microsoft’s attention and led to a completed exclusivity proposal within roughly one week. According to Hryhorovych, Microsoft approached the Ukrainian studio after executives saw the

Microsoft has officially brought Xbox backward compatibility to Windows 11 PCs and handheld gaming systems, starting with four original Xbox titles that never received traditional PC releases. The initial lineup includes BLiNX: The Time Sweeper, Conker: Live and Reloaded, Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge, and Fuzion Frenzy. All four games are available to purchase separately on PC and are also included across every

Chinese memory manufacturer CXMT is preparing its supply chain for DDR6 production several years before the new standard is expected to reach the commercial market. DDR6 memory is currently expected to begin entering products between 2028 and 2029. CXMT’s early preparations suggest that the company wants to compete from the start of the transition rather than wait for Samsung, SK hynix, and Micron to

A report claiming that SpaceX placed a $52 billion order for almost one million NVIDIA GPUs has been denied by Elon Musk, leaving the alleged deal unconfirmed. The original claim said SpaceX had awarded Foxconn part of an order covering about 13,000 NVIDIA GB300 server racks. Each rack was reportedly valued at around $4 million, with shipments expected to begin in the fourth quarter

Taiwan is considering new energy rules that would require its largest electricity consumers to install their own power generation and storage infrastructure, a change that could significantly raise operating costs for TSMC and other major industrial companies. The proposed amendment to Taiwan’s Energy Management Law would apply to commercial facilities with an electricity load of at least 5MW. More than 400 semiconductor, optoelectronics, steel,

NVIDIA’s expanding AI infrastructure is creating a new storage challenge as temporary model data grows beyond what GPUs can handle efficiently. Samsung is reportedly preparing its latest V10 NAND technology to support large Context Memory Storage systems designed to reduce that pressure. AI inference relies heavily on Key Value cache, commonly called KV cache. This temporary data stores information generated while a model processes

DDR5 memory prices in Germany continued climbing in July 2026, pushing the market’s average price index to 448 percent of the level recorded one year earlier. The latest increase places July above the previous peaks seen in January and February, when the index reached 440 percent. June had already climbed to 419 percent, meaning the market rose by close to 7 percent in one

Samsung Display has started supplying a new generation of laptop OLED panels designed to meet the VESA DisplayHDR True Black 1400 standard, bringing higher peak brightness and deeper black levels to upcoming premium notebooks. The panels use Samsung’s Tandem OLED architecture, which places two organic light emitting layers within the display. This design improves light output while reducing the electrical load placed on each

Several newer GeForce RTX 5060 graphics cards are using NVIDIA’s larger GB205 GPU die and a 16 pin power connector, even though the card’s modest power requirements do not make the newer connector necessary. Most RTX 5060 models use the GB206 die and a conventional 8 pin PCIe power connector. However, some manufacturers have begun producing revised cards with a cut down version of

ADATA chairman Chen Li-bai believes the global memory shortage could continue for another 10 years as AI infrastructure consumes growing amounts of DRAM, storage, electricity, and data centre capacity. His comments followed renewed concerns about whether heavy AI investment could be creating a market bubble. Chen rejected that idea for now, arguing that global demand for computing infrastructure remains much stronger than many investors

NVIDIA is expanding the capabilities of its DGX Station by introducing a local Agent Toolkit that allows developers and creative teams to run advanced AI agents directly on the workstation. The software stack combines NemoClaw, Nemotron 3 Ultra, Omniverse libraries, and the OpenShell secure runtime. NVIDIA says the complete environment can be configured in roughly 30 minutes and can operate locally without requiring a

NVIDIA has presented 22 research papers at SIGGRAPH 2026 covering neural graphics, real time simulation, character animation, robotics, and three dimensional scene reconstruction. The projects are designed around a common goal: creating virtual environments that remain grounded in 3D geometry and physical rules while giving artists and developers direct control over the final result. Two of the most notable technologies are MotionBricks and ArtFixer.
