This story probably won't come as a surprise to anyone who pays attention to desktop APUs, but the news is simple: the new Ryzen AI 400 desktop processors that AMD just launched don't come with a full complement of PCIe lanes. In fact, they actually have even fewer lanes for high-speed I/O than some of the last-generation APUs, which wereMSI has announced a limited edition collaboration with Blizzard to celebrate the launch of the World of Warcraft Midnight expansion. This partnership introduces the MSI x World of Warcraft Midnight GeForce RTX 5070, available in two distinct collector-focused designs: the Light Edition and the Void Edition. These cards are built on the Nvidia Blackwell architecture and are inspired by the return to the elven lands of Quel'Thalas, where the battle between the Light and the Void takes centre stage.
The Void Edition captures the essence of the Voidstorm with a dark blue and purple aesthetic, featuring sharp lines and shadow-infused details for players aligned with Xal'Atath. In contrast, the Light Edition features a gold-and-white design with luminous accents that represent the Army of the Light defending the Sunwell. Both models use the Tri Frozr 4 thermal solution with Stormforce fans and a nickel-plated copper baseplate.
Technically, both cards offer identical specs, including 12 GB of GDDR7 memory at 28 Gbps and 6,144 CUDA cores. They feature a boosted clock frequency of 2625 MHz in Extreme Performance mode (via MSI Center) and a single 16-pin connector. To power it, MSI recommends at least a 650W PSU. These limited-edition GPUs are now available and seem to cost a small premium over the standard MSI RTX 5070 Gaming Trio cards. Some retailers already have them available, including Overclockers UK (at £720) and LDLC (at €830).

As it turns out, Sony is now pumping the brakes on this, with no plans to bring over titles like Marvel's Wolverine, Saros, or Ghost of Yotei.
According to Bloomberg's Jason Schreier, Sony has made the decision to pull back on its PC release strategy. While multiplayer titles will likely continue to be multiplatform, the studio may no longer bring all of its single-player games to PC. This is despite the recent news that the God of War games made over $1 billion on PC alone.
This strategy shift will apparently apply to Saros, the new game from the studio behind Returnal. It will also apparently apply to upcoming games like Marvel's Wolverine or Naughty Dog's Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet.
It is unclear why Sony has decided to pull back on its PC platform push. While not every game released has been a huge hit on PC, most of them have still sold quite well.
KitGuru Says: If PS5 sales were slowing down then I might understand this, but the console is still continuing to sell at a similar pace to the PS4.

The game has managed to secure one of the top spots on Steam's best-selling games list over the past week. Now with many pre-orders in, Bungie has revealed the global unlock times for the game, alongside the first details about post-launch content.
Marathon will launch on March 5th at 6PM GMT. In the US, that means 10am PST and 1pm EST, or 7PM for those in central Europe. If you are over in Australia, the game unlocks at 5AM on Friday morning.
As with any live-service multiplayer game, launch is just the beginning. Bungie has shared some details on its post-launch content plans for Marathon. The first two seasons are already locked in, with Season 1 beginning on launch day, offering six factions, six runner shells, 28 weapons, a selection of weapon mods, and three starting zones. Bungie will improve on this in Season 2 with more loot.
While story isn't the first thing that comes to mind when it comes to PvP games, there will be story content within Marathon. Bungie will flesh out the lore through faction storylines and contracts, as well as new Codex entries. Throughout each season, Bungie will also introduce new lore elements through new environments and missions.

Now after sending fans imaginations into overdrive, the studio has apologised.
It turns out, Iron Galaxy just uses the Fallout Please Stand By screen as a slide for its monthly meetings. The studio insists that it is not actually teasing a new game, such as a remaster for Fallout New Vegas.
“Nope! There is nothing to see here. Sorry to disturb the volcanoes, but that was just a BTS look at our company meeting. We use that slide every month and has nothing to do with anything Fallout being worked on. As you can imagine, we love Fallout, too. Now pardon us as we retreat back into our vault”, Iron Galaxy said in its statement.
While a Fallout remaster does not seem to be in the works at Iron Galaxy after all, the studio would still be a good choice of partner studio for such a project. The company already has deep ties to Xbox via the Killer Instinct series, and it has worked with Bethesda on a number of Fallout projects previously as well.
KitGuru Says: As much as fans want to return to New Vegas, I do feel like we will see Bethesda's Fallout 3 remastered before we see Obsidian's game return.

These releases address long-standing user requests by integrating improved camera systems, faster connectivity, and improved panel technologies.
The updated Studio Display retains its 27-inch 5K panel but receives a massive internal overhaul. The move to Thunderbolt 5 allows users to daisy-chain up to four displays, creating a more expansive workspace with nearly 60 million pixels. Apple has also fixed the original model's most criticised feature by introducing a sharper 12MP Center Stage camera with improved image processing and support for Desk View. For audio, the six-speaker system now delivers deeper bass and more immersive Spatial Audio, making it a more versatile hub for both creative work and video conferencing.
Positioned as the successor to the Pro Display XDR, the Studio Display XDR features high-end features such as mini-LED backlighting. With over 2,000 local dimming zones, it hits a staggering 2,000 nits of peak brightness, making it ideal for high-end HDR colour grading. Unlike its predecessor, it now includes the built-in 12MP camera and high-fidelity speaker array. The addition of a 120 Hz refresh rate and Adaptive Sync ensures that both UI interactions and video playback are smoother than ever before.
Both monitors are now available, offered with either standard or nano‑texture glass (the latter is more expensive). The Studio Display starts at £1,499/€1,699/$1,599, and the Studio Display XDR starts at £2,999/€3,499/$3,299.

KitGuru says: By including the camera and speakers on the XDR model and standardising Thunderbolt 5 across the board, these displays feel like a cohesive response to the complexity of modern professional setups. While the pricing remains high, the inclusion of mini-LED and 120 Hz on the XDR model makes it a formidable contender for any colour-critical workflow in 2026, even though there are cheaper alternatives.

This release celebrates ZywOo being crowned world #1 in Counter-Strike 2 for a record fourth time and reaching a milestone of 30 HLTV MVP medals. This second-generation mouse is built to Pulsar’s eS standard, incorporating refined ergonomics and internal hardware designed specifically for elite-level competitive play.
The Gen 2 model introduces significant upgrades over its predecessor to meet the demands of high-level play. It features Pulsar Optical Switches, which boast a 100-million-click lifespan and offer near-instant actuation with zero debounce delay, effectively removing the risk of double-clicking. Additionally, the mouse comes bundled with the Link 8K dongle, which acts as an active controller, allowing players to adjust DPI, polling rate, and profiles via physical buttons on the device itself.
Tailored specifically for palm grip users, the refined shape was co-created with ZywOo to ensure maximum consistency. The mouse is available in two sizes to accommodate different hand preferences: a mini version weighing 59g and a medium version at 62g. This is a highly exclusive release, with only 5,000 units produced worldwide across both size variants.
The Pulsar ZywOo The Chosen Mouse Gen 2 Limited Edition Pink is now available, priced at £/$139.95/€159.90

RUMBLE, a competitive PvP earth-bending game that originally launched in early access on Steam back in 2022, is now on Quest. Read on for our first impressions.
Over the years, RUMBLE has cultivated an active and dedicated community as the developers have continued to evolve their game. Buckethead Entertainment have now brought the full version of RUMBLE to Quest, introducing its notoriously high skill-floor combat to standalone VR.
RUMBLE is a purely online competitive experience with no solo mode to speak of, outside of a training arena designed to help players learn the fundamentals. And trust me - you are absolutely going to need it.
At its core, RUMBLE is built entirely around gesture-based combat. Players manipulate earth-bending abilities through physical poses and movements, summoning rocks and launching attacks against opponents in one-on-one arena battles. The entire experience lives or dies on your ability to correctly perform these gestures, many of which resemble martial arts stances that can be chained together into increasingly complex combinations.
Gesture-based magic systems are among my favourite mechanics in VR, and I’ve played just about every title that experiments with them. That context is important, because when I say RUMBLE is incredibly difficult to learn, it isn’t coming from a place of inexperience. Difficulty here is intentional. The game demands precision, patience and repetition before it begins to reveal what makes it compelling.
Between A Rock And A Hard place
My early encounters with RUMBLE were not especially positive. In fact, during the first hour I genuinely wondered if something was broken. Even when matching the on-screen ghost poses as closely as possible, abilities frequently failed to trigger. Movement also feels unusually slow and even activating the sprint gesture proved frustratingly inconsistent.
At that point, I would have been more than ready to walk away entirely. However, covering the game meant quitting that early wasn’t an option - and thankfully so. After watching several helpful tutorial videos and spending time with members of the community willing to demonstrate proper form, things eventually began to click.
Once gestures shifted from conscious effort to muscle memory, the experience transformed. Summoning rocks and launching attacks stopped feeling like a technical struggle and instead became a fluid expression of learned skill. This is the point where RUMBLE finally comes alive, and if you have the patience to get there, it’s definitely worth the time.
Those Who Throw Stones
RUMBLE possesses an undeniably deep combat system. Moves can be chained into devastating combos and matches between equally skilled players quickly become tense, tactical duels. The game introduces mechanics gradually through a belt-based progression system which sees new moves unlocked over time.
Initially this restriction felt frustrating, but in hindsight it proves to be an effective way to prevent new players becoming overwhelmed. As experience is earned and new techniques unlock, players steadily expand their combat vocabulary and begin experimenting with more advanced strategies.
Working through some moves in the training arena
The core experience revolves around one-on-one arena battles, though social spaces such as the Park provide more relaxed environments to practice and interact. Through several play sessions at both peak and off-peak hours, matchmaking was consistently active. I was regularly paired with fellow beginners, alongside more experienced players who - encouragingly - often took time to help refine my technique.
There were occasional frustrations common to competitive online games, including players relying on spamming attacks or veterans who showed absolutely no mercy, but these moments were far from the norm.
That said, some of the game’s design choices remain divisive. The painfully unforgiving gesture detection often feels less like genuinely earning a skill and more like unnecessary gatekeeping that is likely to hurt the game's broader appeal. Combined with the slow default movement speed - particularly in the hub area - and the learning process can feel harsher than necessary and the ‘fun’ can take too long to present itself.
Mastering RUMBLE clearly requires dedication, but a slightly more lenient gesture controls would make that journey far more enjoyable without sacrificing any of the game’s depth.
After several hours with RUMBLE on Quest, one thing becomes abundantly clear: this is not a game interested in instant gratification. It is neither easy to learn nor casually approachable. In fact, it is hard to learn and even harder to master.
For players seeking a deep, progression-driven competitive experience - one that rewards patience, practice and genuine skill development - RUMBLE may well become an obsession. Its combat system offers depth once understood, supported by an active community and meaningful mastery curve.
However, those looking for fast-paced, immediately accessible earth-bending action may find the experience overly demanding. If your goal is simply to throw rocks around and have some fun, more arcade-style alternatives like Elements Divided may be more your speed.
