Fans were undoubtedly disappointed when Rockstar Games announced a second delay to the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto VI. However, the wait may sting a little less now that the studio has announced that it’s seminal Western, Red Dead Redemption, is coming to mobile devices for the first time and will be available to Netflix subscribers.

Following reports earlier this year that Nintendo had made some odd low-level changes to the Nintendo Switch 2's USB-C support for third-party accessories, a recent firmware update seems to be bricking functionality of third-party docking stations entirely. Fortunately, some vendors have already shipped firmware updates for their devices that

DDR5 memory runs objectively high transfer rates; JEDEC specs go as high as 6.4 Gbps, and overclockers have taken DDR5 beyond the fastest LPDDR5X: all the way to over 13 Gbps. At these speeds, signal integrity becomes a first-order concern, and most systems can maintain peak performance only when running one module per channel. That generally

Now that we're midway through November, the Black Friday discounts are coming in faster and more furious. And sure, the actual Black Friday date is still two weeks away, but retailers are not sitting around waiting. You shouldn't either, depending what you're in the market for this holiday season. Over at Best Buy, for example, there are some

Food delivery giant DoorDash has once again come under negative limelight, this time with a massive data breach stemming from a sophisticated social engineering attack that targeted one of its employees in October. The incident allowed an unauthorized third party to gain access to and exfiltrate key contact information belonging to a mix of

Intel remains the dominant player in the x86 space when it comes to market share, both overall and in individual segments such as desktop, server, and mobile. However, AMD continues to chip away at its rival's big lead, as we had been seeing. According to the latest data by Mercury Research, AMD now accounts for almost a third of all x86 CPUs,

The Moon is not, in fact, a giant cosmic wheel of Gouda. In a landmark paper published in Nature, researchers from the French National Center of Scientific Research delivered a hard truth: the Moon is actually packing a solid inner core of material with a density suspiciously similar to iron. Rather than a massive cheese ball, we're dealing

One thing that's often said in sports is that records are meant to be broken. That applies to the sport of overclocking, and to that end, Patriot Memory's Viper Xtreme 5 DDR5 memory just set a validated memory frequency record, with overclocker AiMax hitting 13,211.4 MT/s (6605.7 MHz) to leapfrog previous records set with Adata, G.Skill, and

Intel's been making moves under the radar lately, and they're good news for Team Blue—not only do the most recent GitHub Intel Xess 2,1 SDK patch notes reveal that Frame Gen is coming to Core Ultra 100-series iGPUs, but the 60th Edition of Intel's ISA Extensions Reference confirms that AVX10.2 is, in fact, coming to Nova Lake, contrary to

Back when AMD announced its next-generation FSR Redstone technology, the company promised to have the updated upscaling and frame generation techniques out by the end of the year. Many expected that this would mean a late-December source release, and that adoption in real games would follow. Instead, our first taste of Redstone comes in the

Arguably the main reason Android can challenge Apple’s iPhone ecosystem is Google’s decision to keep it an open platform. However, this stance is shifting, as the company attempted to tighten its grip on the mobile operating system by making sideloading largely a thing of the past. Thankfully, Google has decided to leave the door open, even

Dell has just released a notice to users of its Dell Display and Peripheral Manager (DDPM) software, prompting them to update the software ASAP. Users of the software, which is preinstalled on most Dell business systems but available to all Windows users of Dell peripherals, are advised to update to at least version 2.1.2.12 to get a new patch

During an online investor conference, ASUS co-CEO Shubin Hu has stated that the rise of DRAM prices is a problem for everyone across the PC industry, and that it is spurred by a combination of two factors: the massive increase in demand for RAM to fuel AI servers, and limited DRAM production increases over the past few years despite that growth.

Tachyum is back with another round of astonishing promises. The startup, which was founded in 2016 and still yet to ship a single chip, has unveiled the latest revision of its Prodigy processor design, now targeted at 2nm, which it says delivers up to 21× higher AI rack performance than NVIDIA's future Rubin Ultra platform. The catch? Neither

Samsung is raring to unleash the Galaxy Z TriFold smartphone/tablet sooner than some expected. Sources close to the company indicate that this twice-folding, ultra-premium device is set to debut on December 5. With an expected price tag of approximately $3,000 (around 4.4 million Korean won) to start, the TriFold is less of a product for the

It took a while, but you can finally snag a GeForce RTX 5070 Ti graphics card by one of NVIDIA's add-in board (AIB) partners for less than NVIDiA's baseline MSRP. MSI is the the one serving up the deal, through Newegg, though the only caveat is that you have to jump through a mail-in-rebate hoop. We know, we know—that's not idea, but even

Seven billion light-years away, an astronomical event in 2023 sent a buzz through the astrophysics community. Gravitational wave detectors registered the merger of two black holes (a collision designated GW231123). The detection itself was not unusual, but the characteristics of the merging objects were. Both black holes were colossal, boasting

Ahead of Microsoft's next Ignite event, which kicks off in San Francisco (and online) next Tuesday, November 18, the company's president of Windows and Devices shared a message on X about the direction Windows is headed it didn't land particularly well. Just the opposite, it sparked an angry backlash that is a clear indication of AI fatigue. In

Valve is releasing a handful of new gaming hardware, including an updated Steam Controller, a standalone VR headset called Steam Frame, and the return of the Steam Machine, this time in a compact cube design that's unofficially been dubbed the GabeCube (a play on words between Gabe Newell and Nintendo's GameCube). The obvious question in light

Valve is launching three new Steam Hardware projects in 2026, and two of them are quite familiar. The Steam Frame is the newest of the bunch, intended as a lower cost alternative to the ultra-premium Valve Index, joining the likes of Meta Quest and other standalone VR headsets, powered by Snapdragon silicon, but now with SteamOS and a highly

During its State of Play Japan conference, Sony surprise-announced new PlayStation hardware—a PlayStation Gaming Monitor, specifically, which also includes a DualSense charging hook. While we don't know how much it will cost yet, the pricing of Sony's existing lineup of InZone gaming monitors raised a few eyebrows here in the HotHardware newsroom.

FromSoftware finally delivered the online co-op experience fans had been yearning for with the release of Elden Ring Nightreign earlier this year.

NVIDIA may garner the lion's share of AI news, but AMD has its own selection of extremely potent AI processors, and it has been making rapid progress on both the hardware and software fronts in recent years. It was just a few months ago back in June that the company launched its Instinct MI350 accelerator, and in September the company made
