    The Standard PS5 Finally Gets AI Upscaling as Sony Launches QSSR

    Owners of the standard PlayStation 5 no longer need a PS5 Pro to experience some of Sony's AI upscaling technology. Starting October 1, 2026, Marvel's Wolverine and Ghost of Yōtei gained a new graphics option called Quick Spectral Super Resolution. Known as QSSR, the technology represents a significant extension of PlayStation's graphics strategy.

    Steam Beta fixes non-Steam games refusing to launch on Linux

    Adding an external game or application to Steam is not terribly useful when the Play button stops launching it. That is the regression Valve has now fixed in the Steam Client Beta on Linux, following a troublesome few days for users relying on non-Steam shortcuts.

    DLSS 5 gives studios control over the AI, but the frame-rate bill is still steep

    NVIDIA has detailed the creative controls behind DLSS 5 for game developers. Its 3D-Guided Neural Rendering is an additional stage that adjusts lighting and materials after the engine has rendered the scene. NBA 2K27 can look noticeably richer in character close-ups, but independent measurements make clear that the visual uplift is not free.

    FC Mobile 27 is doing more than updating squads: Game Plans and Gauntlet put actual decisions back into matches

    EA SPORTS FC Mobile moves into its 27 season on September 24. Beyond updated squads and the game's third-anniversary celebration, Electronic Arts is introducing two systems with a much clearer effect on how matches are played: Game Plans lets teams change shape and mentality during a match, while Gauntlet makes squad depth matter by limiting how often individual player items can be used.

    Steam Machine: bad console or great living-room PC? The answer changes with the question

    The Steam Machine keeps inviting the wrong comparison. It sits under a television, boots into a controller interface and looks every bit like a game console. Then Valve gives you a Linux desktop, replaceable storage, standard PC peripherals and the freedom to install another operating system. As a console, its price and graphics performance are awkward. As a purpose-built couch PC, it is a stranger and more convincing device.

    Gaming Is Growing Again, but Studios Are Still Paying for the Boom

    The global games business is forecast to approach $214 billion in 2026. That sounds like the end of the crisis. Inside studios, it does not feel much like one: teams are still being cut, giant projects remain increasingly difficult to finance, and player attention has become one of the industry's most expensive resources.

    Roblox games are about to leave Roblox and become standalone apps

    For most of its history, a Roblox game lived inside Roblox. Roblox Everywhere is starting to break that rule. Creators will soon be able to release standalone versions of their games across mobile, PC and consoles without giving up the engine, multiplayer services or existing Roblox community.

    Acer hits 1000Hz at full 1080p with the Predator XB253Q U1

    A few years ago, 360Hz already sounded excessive outside professional esports. Acer has now pushed its Predator XB253Q U1 to 1000Hz without dropping the resolution to 720p. The new monitor runs its full 1920 × 1080 panel at the headline refresh rate.

    Palworld is coming to phones twice, and the two mobile games are easy to mix up

    There is now an annoying trap hidden inside a very simple search. A licensed Palworld game really did open mobile pre-registration in South Korea this week. It just isn't Palworld Mobile. Pocketpair currently has two separate mobile adaptations in development, built by two different companies for noticeably different kinds of play.

    Samsung added another 60Hz to a monitor that was already operating beyond one kilohertz. Odyssey G6 G60H has moved from the 1040Hz specification shown at CES to a finalized 1100Hz mode. The difficult part is no longer refreshing the LCD that quickly. It is giving the display a genuinely new game frame every 0.91 milliseconds.

    Licensed controllers often stop at a new colour and a logo on the touchpad. Sony's two Grand Theft Auto VI DualSense designs add something more tactile: palm-tree patterns are moulded into the grips, while the central finish shifts through Vice City's blues, purples and pinks as the light changes.

    Xbox is trying to remove one of the more annoying differences between buying a game in a box and buying the same game digitally. Insert an eligible disc into a console with a drive, launch it, and a digital entitlement can be attached to that physical copy. The useful part is what happens afterward: the disc keeps working.

    The Witcher 3 Remastered is messing with the part RPG players notice most: their builds

    Eleven years of guides, favorite builds and muscle memory are about to meet a new version of The Witcher 3. The Remastered edition certainly has the expected visual work, but CD Projekt RED is also rebuilding character progression and altering the feel of combat. That makes September 29 more interesting than another pass at sharper Novigrad cobblestones.

    Nvidia is giving Valve's Steam Machine an unusual upgrade: the option not to use its own GPU

    The Steam Machine was built around the idea that a small SteamOS PC could sit under a television and run a PC library itself. Nvidia is now adding another route. GeForce NOW will officially support Valve's box later in 2026, which means a game can be running on remote RTX hardware while the Steam Machine acts as the client in the living room.
