The Nintendo Switch is currently in its home stretch, with the console’s successor finally having been announced last month. Still, when all is said and done, the OG Switch will go down in history as one of the most successful consoles of all time – having now surpassed 150 million units sold.

As part of the company’s latest fiscal earnings report, Nintendo published an updated list of their hardware and software sales, revealing that (as of the 31st of December 2024) 2017’s Nintendo Switch has officially reached a sales milestone only witnessed by two other systems: selling more than 150 million units (150.86 million to be specific).

This puts the Switch just shy of the DS’ total sales (154.02m) and around 10 million less than the best-selling system of all time – the PS2 with over 160 million units sold.

Whether the Switch will be able to surpass these systems is yet to be seen, however the company did recently proclaim that they are willing to support the OG Switch past the launch of its successor “if there is demand”, so it may have a couple more years left in it still.
Beyond this, the team have also confirmed that Mario Kart 8 + Deluxe has sold north of 75 million copies, making it now the 4th best-selling game of all time, surpassing PUBG and sitting behind Wii Sports.

Other notable milestones include Super Mario Bros. Wonder and Switch Sports both selling more than 15 million copies each.

KitGuru says: Will the Switch become the best selling console of all time, or will it fall just short of the PS2? How long before it surpasses the DS at least? Will Switch sales fall through the roof once its successor launches? Let us know your thoughts down below.

Dragon Ball is undeniably one of the most popular anime/manga franchises of all time, with the series having a long and successful library of video games released over the past 35+ years. By far the biggest new entry in this space is Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero, the latest title in the much-loved Budokai series. Unsurprisingly, the game has already reached a massive sales milestone, surpassing 5 million copies sold in under four months.

Making the announcement on Twitter, the official ‘DragonBallGames’ page celebrated this latest milestone, writing:

“We're thrilled to announce that DRAGON BALL: Sparking! ZERO has officially sold 5 million copies worldwide!…A huge THANKS to our amazing fans for the epic journey. We truly appreciate your passion and dedication.”

While 5 million is nothing to sniff at, especially since it only released last October, Sparking Zero was announced to have sold 3 million copies in its first 24 hours, meaning it just managed to push a further 2 million in the 4 months since.

Still, given the fact that Sparking Zero was the fastest-selling entry in the series’ history (and considering other notable Dragon Ball games have gone on to sell more than 10 million copies), it’s safe to say that Sparking Zero will continue to sell well for months and years to come.

KitGuru says: What’s your opinion on Sparking Zero? Does it live up to the Budokai games? What’s your favourite Dragon Ball game of all time? Let us know down below.

Late last year, FromSoftware surprised everyone with the announcement of Elden Ring: Nightreign – a co-op focused spin-off featuring rogue-like elements and unique class abilities. Ahead of the upcoming network tests slated for later this month, FromSoftware are reportedly planning to announce a ton of new details for the standalone game sometime next week.

As reported by Insider Gaming, Elden Ring: Nightreign is planned to get an infodump sometime next week, including confirmation of the game’s release date (which is currently just stated to be coming some time in 2025).

More specifically, said infodump is reportedly planned for the 12th of February, just two days prior to the launch of the Nightreign’s network test, and will coincide with an embargo lift for media previews – meaning we should see our first proper hands-on impressions at the same time.

While Elden Ring’s Shadow of the Erdtree expansion was mostly more of the same, Nightreign looks to be switching up the formula quite a bit, and so it will be interesting to see what the media thinks of the game when previews go live – and perhaps more importantly what players think when the network test goes live shortly after.

KitGuru says: Are you excited for Elden Ring: Nightreign? Did you get into the network test? How different do you think this will be to the OG Elden Ring? Let us know down below.

Wreckfest is a fun and frantic destruction-derby themed racing game from Bugbear Entertainment and published by THQ Nordic. Released back in 2018, THQ announced last year that a sequel was officially in the works. Now, we’ve gotten more details on Wreckfest 2 – including an Early Access release date.

Making the announcement via a press release, Bugbear Entertainment and THQ Nordic officially confirmed that Wreckfest 2 is launching on the 20th of March…in Early Access.

While no specifics were given so far on what exactly the Early Access period entails, the team did state that “From day one, Wreckfest 2 will be shaped by your feedback. We're eager to create the greatest demolition derby-style game of all time,” so hopefully it will be a rather productive Early Access.

When it was first announced back in August last year, Wreckfest 2 was stated to be going all-in on the destruction aspect of the game, featuring “a completely overhauled physics engine for even more realistic destruction, fully customizable cars that you can share with other players and revamped game modes including a brand-new split screen mode.”

While we still don’t know too much beyond this right now, hopefully we’ll hear more from the game as we get closer to its upcoming (early access) release date.

KitGuru says: Are you looking forward to Wreckfest 2? Is them going the Early Access route a good or bad thing in your mind? Let us know your thoughts down below.

Following the disappointment of Battlefield 2042, EA and DICE seem to be going all-in for the series’ next entry, featuring more internal tests than ever before, and recently going live with its Battlefield Labs program. While details on the game overall continue to remain light, we do know that the upcoming title will launch before April 2026.

As part of the company’s latest fiscal earnings meeting (reported by VGC), EA confirmed that the next Battlefield game will launch before the end of the 2026 fiscal year – meaning by the 31st of March 2026.

Given the fact that the past three Battlefields have launched in the October-November window, it could be safe to assume that Battlefield 6 (or whatever it will be called) will target a similar timeframe.

That said, the company is seemingly trying to switch things up with the next game following the disappointment of 2042 – and so it’s entirely possible that their release strategy has been changed up as well.

We will have to wait and see, but hopefully the teams are given as much time as needed.

KitGuru says: What do you think of this tentative release window? Does the series have a chance to become relevant again? Could it ever be as big as Call of Duty? Let us know down below.

Nintendo is about to release a new console, which means it is time for Nintendo executives to start lying to us all about continued support for older hardware. Much like when the Switch launched in 2017 and Nintendo promised to continue supporting the 3DS, Nintendo is now claiming it will continue to support the original Switch console alongside the Switch 2.

Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa has said the company will continue to support the original Nintendo Switch after the launch of Nintendo Switch 2, as long as there is demand from consumers. However, the company's most recent earnings report shows that demand is rapidly waning. Currently, Switch sales have declined by 30 percent year-on-year, and that decline will only increase once Nintendo starts marketing the Switch 2 and the new games heading to the console.

With that said, the Switch 2 being backwards compatible could mean that more developers will support both systems for a couple of years. Currently, Nintendo has a few games lined up for the original Switch, including Xenoblade Chronicles X and Pokémon Legends Z-A. We will be learning more about Nintendo's game release line-up for 2025 later this week during a Nintendo Direct stream. We also expect that this stream will bring us some more Switch 2 news.

Nintendo has not yet announced a launch date for the Switch 2, nor has it revealed any exclusive Switch 2 games outside of a quick tease for a new Mario Kart. On top of all of that, we still know very little about the hardware inside.

KitGuru Says: We will no doubt see a few cross-gen games over the next couple of years, but I highly doubt Nintendo is still going to be releasing tentpole games for the original Switch in 2026.

Microsoft is bringing even more of its games to PS5. Shortly after the announcement of the next wave of cross-platform titles, Microsoft has now announced plans to bring its two biggest strategy titles. 

In March, PS5 players will be able to pick up the recently released remaster, Age of Mythology: Retold, an excellent reworking of a classic strategy game centred around mythological gods.

For those who prefer something a bit more grounded, my favourite RTS game of all time, Age of Empires 2, is also heading to PS5 this Spring. It is unclear if Microsoft will also bring over the other Definitive Edition Age of Empires titles, or the most recent game in the franchise, Age of Empires IV. Better yet, these games will have full cross-play, so Xbox, PC and PS5 players will be able to battle it out online.

Another major Xbox game, Forza Horizon 5, is also due to release on PS5 later this year. Rumour has it that Indiana Jones and the Great Circle will also make the jump in the coming months.

KitGuru Says: While at one time it seemed impossible to bring an RTS game to consoles, titles like Halo Wars and Halo Wars 2 really paved the way for more traditional RTS games to branch out beyond PC. We've had Age of Empires on Xbox for years at this point, with very good control schemes to replace the keyboard and mouse.

A decade ago, Valve attempted to bring PC gaming to the living room with its own ‘console' style mini-ITX PCs known as Steam Machines. Unlike the Steam Deck, Valve opted to pass off Steam Machine development to third-party partners and focused on the software side of things. This ultimately led to Steam Machines being branded as a failure. Now ten years on and armed with more experience in hardware products, Valve looks to be bringing back the Steam Machine. 

According to eXtas1s, who has a reliable track record with leaks, Valve is readying a new Steam console to compete against Xbox and PlayStation. Apparently, this system will continue to use custom AMD hardware, this time based on the RDNA 4 architecture.

While the Steam Machines failed back in 2015, Valve has drastically improved its hardware capabilities since then. At this point, the company has sold millions of Steam Deck handheld systems, and the new version of SteamOS is far beyond what Valve started off with. On top of that, Valve has also been working on new Steam Controller designs, seemingly for a Steam Controller 2 launch. Chances are, a Steam console would ship with one of these new gamepads.

Whether or not a Steam home console could really take market share away from Xbox or PlayStation remains to be seen.

KitGuru Says: Would you like to see the Steam Machine make a return with new and improved hardware, combined with the latest version of SteamOS? Perhaps this is the kick some developers need to support SteamOS. After all, we still have major games like Destiny that don't support the Deck, despite the fact that the game's anti-cheat system can and does work with Proton, the compatibility took Valve uses to make Windows-only games run on SteamOS. 

G.Skill has just announced its latest memory kit. At CES, we saw new low-latency kits for AMD Ryzen based systems. This time, we are focused on Intel Core Ultra, with new large-capacity CL32 kits set to hit the market. 

The new G.Skill CL32 96GB (2x 48GB) and the CL28 32GB kit are hitting the market soon under the Trident Z5, Royal, and Ripjaws series. The key differentiator between these is the heatspreader, with the Trident Z5 offering a sleek RGB lightbar at the top, while the royal version adds a crystalised pattern on the top. The Ripjaws series is G.Skill's standard kit, with a low-profile heatspreader.

CL32-42-42 at up to 96GB (2x48GB). This new specification have been validated on both Intel Z790 and Z890 platforms. Above, you can find the Memtest validation on the ASUS ROG Maximus Z890 Hero motherboard with the Intel Core Ultra 7 265K desktop processor, and the ASUS ROG Maximus Z790 Dark Hero motherboard with the Intel Core i9-14900K desktop processor.

These kits will be hitting the market starting in March.

February is set to be a big month for Game Pass. We already know that Obsidian's new fantasy RPG, Avowed, will be a day-one title for Game Pass Ultimate subscribers. Now, we know the full list of games joining the service over the next two weeks. 

As Avowed is a new first-party game, it won't be available to Game Pass standard subscribers. However, like Starfield, it should join the Game Pass Standard library eventually. If you want to play it on February 18th via Game Pass, you'll need a Game Pass Ultimate or a Game Pass PC subscription. As Microsoft is still actively trying to grow Game Pass for PC, that version of the service still gets day-one first party games.

For a look at the timeline Game Pass Standard subscribers can expect, we can see that Starfield, which first launched in September 2023, is now available through Game Pass Standard, meaning it joined the library almost a year and a half after launch. With that in mind, we can expect Avowed to join the Game Pass Standard library sometime in 2026.

Below is the full list of Game Pass titles announced for February 2025, including platforms and release dates:

• Far Cry New Dawn (Cloud, Console and PC) – February 4th.
• Another Crab's Treasure (Console) – February 5th.
• Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes (Console) – February 5th.
• Starfield (Xbox Series X/S) – February 5th.
• Madden NFL 25 (Cloud, Console and PC) – February 6th.
• Kingdom Two Crowns (Cloud and Console) – February 13th.
• Avowed (Cloud, PC, Xbox Series X/S) – February 18th.

As for games leaving the library, on February 15th, Game Pass subscribers will lose access to Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, EA Sports UFC 3, Indivisible, Merge and Blade, Return to Grace, A Little to the Left and Tales of Arise.

KitGuru Says: What do you think of this month's Game Pass line-up? Will you be jumping into Avowed when it drops? 

Intel's upcoming Core Ultra 7 255H mobile processor shows impressive single-threaded performance in a leaked PassMark benchmark, but its multi-core capabilities raise concerns.

The Passmark results (via Notebookcheck) reveal a significant generational leap in single-threaded performance. The Core Ultra 7 255H scored 4631 points, a 32% increase over the Core Ultra 7 155H CPU. This impressive gain can be attributed to the new “Lion Cove” P-cores and TSMC's N3B process technology. Interestingly, the 255H even outperforms the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 “Strix Point” APU by around 17% in single-threaded performance.

However, the tables turn regarding its multi-core performance, where the 255H falls behind the Strix Point chip by over 20%. This discrepancy highlights the impact of Intel's decision to remove hyperthreading support from its non-K Core Ultra 200 series CPUs. While this move benefits single-threaded performance, it limits the multi-core capabilities of these processors. Despite the disappointing multi-core results, the Core Ultra 7 255H still shows a respectable 12% multi-threaded performance improvement over its predecessor.

It's worth noting that Arrow Lake-H CPUs will feature integrated GPUs with up to eight Xe LPG+ cores. While these iGPUs are expected to be slower than the Xe2-based graphics in Lunar Lake processors, they should still offer decent performance for casual gaming and everyday tasks. These processors should be available this quarter with new laptops from different manufacturers.

KitGuru says: Based on these results, the Arrow Lake-H processors will likely perform better than AMD's latest Ryzen AI 300 series in gaming when paired with a discrete GPU. However, we expect AMD Strix Point processors to be the better option for productivity.

As expected, Nvidia's RTX 50 series launch didn't have enough stock for the demand. It was predictable that stock would run relatively fast, especially considering the reported low product count arriving at retailers. As if that wasn't enough, it seems the next batch of cards will take a while to arrive, with some retailers expecting that it could be months before we see a new RTX 5090 card for sale.

While the initial launch of the RTX 5090 and 5080 Founders Edition cards went smoothly, with positive reviews and impressive benchmarks, gamers eager to get their hands on the new cards face a frustrating reality: limited availability. OverclockersUK has reported that its initial RTX 50 series cards stock has completely sold out, and pre-orders are currently unavailable. According to the retailer, more RTX 5080 cards are expected to arrive in 2 to 6 weeks. As for the RTX 5090 cards, they can take 3 to 16 weeks.

Similar reports are emerging from other regions. In the Netherlands (via Megekko forums), sources suggest that the Asus RTX 50 series cards are being shipped in batches, with varying availability depending on the specific model. Furthermore, there are claims that Nvidia won't be shipping any more Founders Edition cards until March, potentially leaving gamers with limited options for purchasing the reference designs.

Later this month, we're expected to see the launch of the RTX 5070 series cards. Hopefully, these won't have the same stock issues.

KitGuru says: Were you planning to get an RTX 5080 or RTX 5090? Were you lucky enough to get one of these at launch?

Fans of Need for Speed might have to temper their expectations for a new entry in the franchise. Criterion Games, the studio behind the franchise, has confirmed that the next Need for Speed game won't come anytime soon as the team shifts its focus to developing the next Battlefield title.

This isn't the first time Criterion has lent its expertise to the Battlefield franchise. The studio played a significant role in developing Battlefield 2042, Battlefield V, and Battlefield 1. However, this time, it seems their involvement in the upcoming Battlefield title is taking priority, putting the next Need for Speed game into second plan.

Given the current development timeline for the next Battlefield game, which, according to recent footage, is in pre-alpha, it's unlikely a new fully-fledged NFS game will be released for several years. Considering the typical development cycle for AAA games and Criterion's statement (via Eurogamer), active production on the next Need for Speed won't begin until the new Battlefield is complete. If that's the case, fans might have to wait until the early 2030s for a new entry in the racing franchise.

While EA could assign another studio to develop a new Need for Speed game, this seems unlikely. Criterion Games has a wealth of experience in the racing genre, and finding another studio with the same expertise in this genre would be a challenge. We could argue that Codemasters might be able to do something out of the Need For Speed franchise, but it would probably go into a more realistic racing experience than your usual NFS game.

KitGuru says: This extended hiatus marks a significant shift for the Need for Speed series, which enjoyed annual releases between 1997 and 2013. If the current release cadence holds, December 2025 will mark the longest gap between two Need for Speed titles since the franchise's inception in 1994.

The HEDDphone TWO GT has a rather uncommon pair of drivers inside of it, called air motion transformers. These are not the common dynamic drivers we are used to, nor planar magnetic…

There are studies which contradict the various sayings that vulgarity is only for those of low intelligence, they aren't great studies but they do indicate a positive correlation between the practice…

Today we are back with our first RTX 50 series partner card review! We're looking at the MSI RTX 5090 Suprim SOC – a beast of a graphics card in every sense of the word. Not only does it boast a quad-slot cooler that's about 36cm long, but it's been aggressively factory overclocked, while also featuring dual-BIOS, three 100mm fans and plentiful RGB lighting. Let's see just how well it compares to Nvidia's Founders Edition.

Of course, the other factor to consider is pricing, and while MSI didn't actually disclose an official MSRP to us, we've found it on Currys for £2600, while it's higher still at OCUK. Needless to say, that is some extreme pricing, with a £660 price premium over the £1939 MSRP. It's hard to say if those are just inflated figures given there's zero stock of the RTX 5090 right now, and I'd have to hope that pricing falls as supply levels increase. Right now that's all we have to go on though, so that will have to factor into our final buying advice.

First, a quick spec recap. The RTX 5090 is built on the new GB202 die, measuring 750mm², though it's not quite a full implementation of the silicon. Instead we find a total of 11 Graphics Processing Clusters (GPCs), each holding up to eight Texture Processing Clusters (TPCs), for a total of 85. Each TPC is home to two Streaming Multiprocessors (SMs), giving us 170, and each SM still holds 256 CUDA Cores, meaning the RTX 5090 has an eye-watering total of 21760 shaders. We also find 170 RT cores, 680 Tensor cores, 680 Texture Units, and 176 ROPs.

This time around, however, there's no node-shrink, and GB202 remains fabricated on TSMC's N4 node, as per the RTX 40-series. As such, rated clock speed is not increased this generation and is actually touted slightly below that of the RTX 4090, with the  reference RTX 5090 delivering a rated 2407MHz boost clock. MSI has increased this to 2565MHz for the Gaming BIOS, and 2512MHz for the Silent BIOS.

The memory configuration has seen significant upgrades this generation. The RTX 5090 now comes equipped with a super-wide 512-bit memory interface, paired with 32GB GDDR7 memory running at 28Gbps, and that puts total memory bandwidth at a staggering 1792 GB/s. L2 cache is also increased to 98MB, up from the 74MB of the RTX 4090.

Considering the large increases to die size and core count, but with no node shrink, it's perhaps unsurprising to see power draw has increased, this time boasting a 575W TGP at reference. MSI has maxed this out at 600W for the Gaming BIOS, too, the limit of the 12V-2X6 connector.

Following Microsoft’s recent developer direct, the console maker has announced another – albeit smaller – presentation with the ID@Xbox Showcase. Going live on the 24th of February, the stream will feature a ton of indie studios as well as a new collaboration with Balatro.

Announced in partnership with IGN, the next ID@Xbox showcase will go live on the 24th of February at 6PM BST, kicking off the publication’s annual IGN Fan Fest.

Though no specific games (except one) were highlighted for the event, over a dozen studios are confirmed to be present during the showcase, with the full list being as follows:

• 11 Bit
• BigFan
• Critical Reflex
• Daedalic
• Game Source Entertainment
• No More Robots
• Panic
• Playstack
• Raw Fury
• Thunderlotus
• Cult Games
• Team17
• Curve
• Akapura
• Don’t Nod

While some of these names might be more recognisable than others, the best part about indie events is the fact that you never know what you’ll get – often for the better.

The one game which is confirmed for the showcase is Balatro, with “the next big collaboration” set to be announced during the stream. That said, it is unclear right now whether this collab will bring content into Balatro, or see Balatro added to another game (as was the case with Dave the Diver). Either way, more Balatro is always a good thing.

Following a lengthy hiatus, the Devil May Cry series returned in a big way with DMC 5 in 2019 – quickly becoming the best-selling entry in the series. While we have yet to get a new game since, interest in Dante and co. has not waned, with the latest Devil May Cry 5 having now officially sold 10 million copies.

Every quarter, Capcom publicly publishes its updated list of ‘Platinum Titles’ – games which have sold over 1 million units. Sharing the latest stats across their franchises, the publisher has now revealed that as of the 31st of December 2024, 2019’s Devil May Cry (in combination with its Special Edition remaster / expansion) has sold 10 million copies, making it by far the best-selling entry in the entire franchise.

For context, the second-best-selling title is 2013’s DmC Devil May Cry which pushed a total of 3.1 million copies – 1/3rd of DMC 5’s total sales.

Unfortunately, as mentioned, there’s been no new activity in the DMC space ever since Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition.

That said, with how much of a success the latest entry continues to be, hopefully the chefs over at Capcom are cooking up something great. We will have to continue to wait and see.

Discuss on our Facebook page HERE.

KitGuru says: Are you surprised by the success of DMC 5? How much longer will we have to wait for a new Devil May Cry? What would you want from the next entry? Let us know down below.

Despite being an undeniable icon in the video games space, Capcom’s Mega Man franchise has never been a massive seller. While this somewhat remains the case, it seems Rock Man is having a slight reassurance with the latest Mega Man 11 now becoming the best-selling entry in the series.

Every quarter, Capcom publicly publishes its updated list of ‘Platinum Titles’ – games which have sold over 1 million units. The publisher has now released its latest figures, revealing that the latest entry in the Mega Man series – 2018’s Mega Man 11 – has surpassed the ‘Mega Man Legacy Collection’ to become the best-selling entry in the series.

Even so, the numbers are relatively modest when compared to Capcom’s other contemporary franchises, with Mega Man 11 just selling north of 2 million copies – 400k more than the aforementioned Legacy Collection.

As stated, Mega Man 11 is the latest entry in the series, however in the years since its launch we have seen further collections released to great success, including the ‘Battle Network Legacy Collection‘ which managed to shift 1 million units in its first two weeks back in 2023.

Still, with what will likely be Capcom’s biggest game of all time (Monster Hunter Wilds) set to come out later this month, the publisher’s focus is unlikely to be on Mega Man at the moment. Hopefully some time over the next couple years maybe.

KitGuru says: Are you surprised by Mega Man’s relatively low sales? Will it ever be one of Capcom’s biggest franchises once again? Could we see a Mega Man 12 one day? Let us know your thoughts down below.

While not quite the sales juggernaut that GTA is, Rockstar’s Red Dead Redemption series remains one of the biggest in the industry, with RDR2 alone selling more than 67 million units. Despite little post-launch support for the game (especially when it came to Red Dead Online), RDR2 has reached a new peak player count on Steam with just under 100,000 concurrents.

Upon its PC release back in early 2020, Rockstar’s Red Dead Redemption 2 saw a solid influx of players, peaking at 55 thousand concurrent users on Steam. Naturally, since then the figures have ebbed and flowed, though only on a few occasions has it surpassed its launch peak.

However, seemingly as a result of RDR2 going on sale for 75% off – the lowest it's been – the game has galloped past its previous peak player count, recently landing just shy of 100k (99,993 concurrent players to be exact).

Unfortunately, this recent influx is unlikely to affect Rockstar’s future plans for Red Dead 2 (or lack thereof), and so the online portion probably won’t see a ton of new support all of a sudden.

That said, the team did release a surprise update last year, adding an improved form of AMD’s FSR alongside a few other enhancements, so not all hope is lost.

KitGuru says: Did you hop into Red Dead Redemption 2 recently? Has Rockstar fully moved on from the game? Could Red Dead Online see a resurgence? Let us know your thoughts down below.
