Launching in Early Access today on Quest, Peak Rhythm seeks to refresh the rhythm genre with pulse-pounding music set against a unique climbing mechanic.
To say I like Rhythm games is a cosmic understatement.
I've poured thousands of hours into the genre. I helped localize the English release of the Dreamcast cult classic Cool Cool Toon, and spent nine months hounding Masaya Matsuura, creator of PaRappa the Rapper, for an interview. When I had the opportunity to speak with Shawn Layden, former President of Sony Interactive Entertainment America, all we talked about was Vib Ribbon.
There's no other way to say it. I am obsessed with rhythm games.
So when I say that Peak Rhythm is a very good musical rhythm game, you've simply got to trust me.
As is typical of many rhythm games, the gameplay hook behind Peak Rhythm is somewhat hard to describe. Despite the developers' somewhat obtuse explanation that Peak Rhythm is "a VR rhythm-climbing game where music drives momentum," I wasn't really sure what to expect. Once I'd spent a few minutes in the game, however, it all began to make sense.
The simplest way to describe Peak Rhythm is to say it's a game in which you climb in time with the music. You begin each stage standing face to face with a bare climbing wall, upon which handholds appear at various times and in various places. These handholds are color-coded, and surrounded by a ring which closes in time with elements of the game's music. The goal of Peak Rhythm is to grab the various handholds with the appropriate hand at exactly the right time (when the ring finishes closing).
Pink handholds are meant to be grabbed with your pink (left) hand, while green handholds are meant to be grabbed with your green (right) hand. Handholds may appear above, below, or to your sides, and on more advanced stages, reaching them may require complicated crossovers, leaps, or drops. Blue handholds can be grabbed with either hand, and it's important to be mindful of what handhold is coming next, after the blue one, so that you have the appropriate hand available when needed.
Grabbing a handhold with the wrong hand or with criminally poor timing will cause you to fall off the climbing wall onto a platform that follows closely beneath (think of it as a rope that doesn't allow you to fall too far). When this happens, you have to scramble your way back up the wall and grab the next available handhold. The music never stops, so getting back into the groove as quickly as possible is important.
Special handholds also exist to spice things up. There's a twist mechanic, in which certain handholds require rotation in time with the music. It's an interesting wrinkle that feels much better in practice than I expected.
The goal of each stage is to grab the handholds at the right time with the correct hand, to scramble yourself along the wall in time with the music. The better you do, the higher you climb in both the game world and on the game's leaderboards.
With music and rhythm games, especially in VR, it's all about feeling. How does the game make you feel? Does the action match with the rhythm? Do you feel like you're experiencing the music in a meaningful way, and does the gameplay support this?
When I saw Peak Rhythm's first gameplay trailer, I had doubts. I couldn't imagine how effectively what I was seeing would translate to a gameplay experience. To be honest, I thought it looked tiresome. By the end of my first climb, I realized I had been wrong.
Peak Rhythm's gameplay is tight and refined, distilled down to an essential core that feels perfect. The act of lifting and placing your hands to the beat of a song is intuitive and instantly rewarding. The songs are well-designed to complement the gameplay, which is intelligently balanced and consistently interesting. There's an intangible element here which exists in all of the best rhythm games, which allows you to ebb into and out of a sort of flow state, where the music and gameplay becomes so well-linked that playing the game feels the same as listening to a great album.
The built-in soundtrack features original tracks spanning several genres, including drum & bass, dubstep, and house, with tracks from FEISTLING, Killin' Void, Ion Diary, and funiel, and while I admittedly hadn't heard of these artists prior to my time with Peak Rhythm, their tunes are consistently great and the entire set list suits the game perfectly.
On top of all that, Peak Rhythm will get you moving. We're not talking about Beat Saber levels of activity, but you will burn a few calories, and that's at least a happy side-effect of playing a fun game.
In addition to the game's native tracks, Zeitlos Interactive has also developed a beatmap editor with which users can create their own custom stages using their own music files.
This feature immediately puts me in mind of Sony's Vib Ribbon, which I previously mentioned, a PlayStation game released in 1999 that invented and patented a method for creating custom levels based on the audio files from any CD that the player might insert into the system. While that now-ancient PlayStation game could automatically generate levels from any music file on its own, Peak Rhythm's custom song system relies on human users to do the work of creating a beatmap and custom stage.
Still, user-generated content hypothetically gives the game near-infinite replayability, plus a sort of custom soundtrack perfectly suited to each players' unique taste.
The developers have let me know that "the custom song feature works through a standalone desktop app." And while this hasn't been published during my pre-release play period, I'm told it should be available at launch, and that a "work-in-progress version is currently circulating within Impact Labs (QA and playtesting)."
Peak Rhythm is playable in sitting, standing, and room scale configuration. In addition, there are numerous options for audio levels, comfort, and accessibility, including input adjustments, and selectable offset for player height.
All that said, no game is perfect and Peak Rhythm is no exception. The visuals are uninspired. While this graphical simplicity makes the rhythm gameplay more legible, I can't help but be disappointed by the general lack of visual interest present in the immediate environment, in the backgrounds, in the central starting hub and menus... essentially, everywhere.
We're supposed to be climbing a skyscraper at night. This should be the coolest looking thing I've ever seen. But as it exists today, it's bland.
And while the soundtrack is great, as mentioned, it's still quite limited. This can be forgiven, perhaps, on account of the game's Early Access status and its allowance for custom songs. But I'm reaching. There simply needs to be more music in this musical rhythm game.
Lastly, there's no multiplayer. While a multiplayer mode is planned for an upcoming update "shortly after launch," I can't review features that don't yet exist, nor do I know what shape the game's multiplayer will take. For now, the omission is a notable strike.
On balance, Peak Rhythm is a very good game, and with further development beyond its Early Access period, it could easily become a great one. The team's planned roadmap is ambitious. We'll just have to see how closely and quickly they stick to it.
After spending a few days scrambling up its skyscrapers, leaping, reaching, and scampering along with its eclectic (though limited) soundtrack thumping in my ears, Peak Rhythm feels like a favorite album, a game that I'll return to again and again.
Peak Rhythm is out now in Early Access on Quest for $12.99.

The game uses full hand tracking interaction, allowing fragments of iconic dinosaurs to be examined, rotated, and assembled into complete creatures all within the player's real-world environment. When a dinosaur is completed, it springs to true life size, driving home the sheer enormity of these ancient creatures.
The base game is available now and includes five dinosaurs: Tyrannosaurus Rex, Spinosaurus, Parasaurolophus, Styracosaurus, and the airborne Pteranodon.
In addition to today's release, the game's developers have announced an upcoming DLC, "Jurassic Giants," which includes three species from the Jurassic era, and a roadmap for future updates that includes new themed packs, deeper skeletal manipulation, enhanced environmental integration, and more.
Le Dino Labo is available now on the Meta Horizon Store priced at $4.99.
Current rumors indicate that the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 may be due for an imminent restock. Considering the effect the current DRAM shortage is having on the market, such a move would be very welcome to budget PC gamers.

Barring any special offers in the future, your current device's trade-in value will never be worth more than it is right now. The reason this matters is because Samsung has launched its Galaxy S26 series and is offering a free upgrade from 256GB to 512GB of storage when you preorder one, saving your $200 right off the bat. On top of that, The global PC-based GPU market reached a massive 756 million units in the fourth quarter of 2025, even as the industry prepares for what analysts describe as “rough sailing” in the year ahead. While the total installed base is projected to grow to 2,867 million units by 2029, the current climate is marked by significant volatility. Year-to-year total GPU shipments across all platforms decreased by 3.3%, with the notebook segment taking the hardest hit, down 5.2%. On the other hand, desktop graphics saw a modest 1.1% increase.
According to JPR, the quarter's most striking movement came from the shifting balance of power between the “Big Three” silicon giants. AMD emerged as the clear winner in terms of momentum, growing its overall GPU market share by 2.6% from the previous quarter. This growth was mirrored in the CPU space, where AMD shipments surged by 11%. In contrast, Intel saw its GPU share dip by 1.2%, and its CPU shipments fall by 1.1%, while Nvidia experienced a 1.4% decline in GPU market share. Despite this dip, the green team remains the only supplier forecasting a strong upcoming quarter, though notably, that optimism is anchored almost entirely in the AI sector rather than consumer gaming.

Looking ahead, the outlook remains clouded by a combination of geopolitical and economic stressors. JPR points to a “perfect storm” of rising memory prices, fluctuating tariffs, and the impact of the newly launched Middle East conflict as primary drivers of instability. While the 10-year average for fourth-quarter growth is typically around 4.7%, this quarter fell short of that benchmark. Market forecasters now warn that the total PC market could decline by as much as 10% in 2026, as memory availability continues to tighten and consumer purchasing power is squeezed by global inflation.
The long-term forecast remains cautiously optimistic, with GPU shipments expected to grow at a compound annual rate of 2.4% over the next four years. Another interesting bit is the projected penetration of discrete GPUs (dGPUs), which is expected to hold at 25% of the PC market through 2029. This suggests that while integrated graphics continue to serve the bulk of the mobile and office segments, the demand for dedicated gaming and workstation hardware remains a stable pillar of the industry, even as manufacturers navigate the logistical nightmare of a transitioning global economy.

The post Market research shows GPU market shrank in Q4 2025 first appeared on KitGuru.Nvidia is reportedly preparing a new variant of the GeForce RTX 5050, which will feature an unconventional 9GB memory capacity. According to the report, this new model is designed to sit alongside the existing 8 GB version, offering a slight bump in both VRAM and speed.
As per MEGAsizeGPU's post, while the original 8GB model uses 20Gbps GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, this newer 9GB variant will shift to faster 28Gbps GDDR7 modules. Despite moving to a narrower 96-bit memory bus, the higher clock speeds of the GDDR7 memory result in a total bandwidth of 336GB/s, a roughly 5% improvement over the 8GB model's 320GB/s.
The core specifications for the RTX 5050 9GB are expected to remain consistent with the original model. It will likely leverage the GB207 GPU, which is the smallest die in the Blackwell family. This chip is expected to feature 2,560 CUDA cores and a 130W TDP, making it a prime candidate for compact builds and systems with standard PSUs.
Beyond the 5050, the MEGAsizeGPU also stated that Nvidia will change the GPU die for the GeForce RTX 5060. Due to a reported shortage of GB206 chips used to produce the RTX 5060 Ti, Nvidia is reportedly allowing board partners to use defective GB205 dies (the same as the ones used for the RTX 5070) for standard RTX 5060 production.
KitGuru says: The move to 9GB is an oddity in GPU history – if this proves to be true that is. We've seen plenty of rumours about Nvidia GPUs with odd amounts of memory over the past few generations and they have rarely panned out.

While much of Destiny 2's monetisation was built around FOMO with expiring season passes and limited-time items, Marathon will be going in a different direction.
Bungie has detailed more about its post-launch plans for Marathon. For starters, all seasonal gameplay content will be free for all players. If you want the cosmetics from the premium rewards pass, then you will have all the time in the world to earn them, as rewards passes will not expire and previous seasonal passes will remain purchasable.
This means that you can pick and choose your rewards in a similar fashion to Helldivers 2, or Halo Infinite. Bungie also says there will be no ‘pay for power' elements in the game, which is pretty important for a competitive PvP title.
The in-game premium currency for Marathon, LUX, can also only be used on cosmetic items, with no gameplay items to be purchasable. If you want the high value items, you will have to earn your normal in-game credits the old-fashioned way.
KitGuru Says: Marathon has managed to become the top-selling game on Steam this week following its server slam weekend. Now we'll have to wait and see how it stacks up against the likes of Tarkov and Arc Raiders.

Now after monitoring user feedback, Arrowhead is officially retiring the original, bloated build of the game.
With the new slim build of the game, the install size of Helldivers 2 was reduced by a massive 85 percent, going from 85GB to just under 24GB. The original build of the game contained a ton of duplicated assets, implemented with the goal of improving the game's performance on holder mechanical hard drives. However, in practise, this wasn't providing any meaningful benefit for players. After figuring all of this out, Arrowhead worked with Sony's PC specialist studio, Nixxes, to remove the duplicated assets and create the new, slim build of the game.
Speaking on the decision to fully move over to the slim build, Arrowhead said: “After extensive testing of our ‘slim' build, weeks of your input and stress testing including a great influx of new and returning players in the ‘Machinery of Oppression’ major update, we are confident that players are having a great experience playing Helldivers 2 on the smaller build.”
As a result, the ‘large' build of Helldivers 2 will be going away as part of the game's next major content update, arriving on March 17th. Once the change has been implemented, you will automatically download the 23GB version of the game, without having to jump into your Steam settings to opt in to the beta.
KitGuru Says: Helldivers 2 went from being a game that I would have to uninstall from time to time, to now being small enough to sit on my system indefinitely. More developers should really put more thought into smaller install sizes, as storage requirements across the industry have gone out of control.

These drives are the first to use the Mozaic 4+ platform, which leverages Heat-Assisted Magnetic Recording (HAMR) technology to achieve record-breaking storage densities. By using a nanoscale laser to heat the recording medium during writes, Seagate can pack 4.4TB of data per platter, reaching a total of 44TB in a standard 10-platter configuration.
Unlike older density-increasing methods like Shingled Magnetic Recording (SMR), HAMR does not rely on overlapping tracks. This allows the 44TB drives to maintain predictable performance under mixed read/write workloads, a critical requirement for modern data centres. While official performance specs haven't been finalised, considering Seagate's current 30+ TB drives can achieve speeds of 270MB/s, we assume a similar level of performance.
The jump to 44TB provides massive logistical advantages for enterprise users. Seagate claims that deploying these high-density drives can improve infrastructure efficiency by 47% compared to using older 30TB models. Taking an exabyte-scale deployment as an example, the new drives reduce the data centre footprint by roughly 100 square feet (9.29 m²) and decrease annual energy consumption by approximately 0.8 million kWh.
This launch places Seagate ahead of its primary competitor, Western Digital, which is currently aiming to ship 40TB units in H2 2026. Looking further ahead, Seagate's Mozaic roadmap targets an evolution to 10TB per platter, with the goal of producing 100TB hard drives by 2030.
KitGuru says: If you're a home user, don't expect to see these in your local shop anytime soon, but your cloud backups are likely about to get a lot more room to breathe.

nDreams Near Light and nDreams Compass will be shut down as part of the restructuring.
Veteran developer nDreams has announced another mass restructuring that will result in two of its three studios shutting down and a staff reduction of up to seventy-eight employees at all levels, 'including senior leadership.' This is the troubled studio's third round of layoffs, following similar restructurings in 2024 and 2025. nDreams Compass and nDreams Near Light will be closed with nDreams Elevation remaining as the core business focus moving forward.
UploadVRHenry Stockdale
nDreams Compass was formed when two previous studios, nDreams Studio Orbital and nDreams Studio, were both shut down. Forty members from those two teams combined to form Compass, with the remaining staff being laid off. Compass's focus was the emerging market of younger VR users, powered by the success of free to play titles like Gorilla Tag. Compass's debut title, Wreckin' Raccoon, a chaotic sandbox experience in the vein of games like I Am Cat, released on Meta Quest in September 2025.
nDreams Near Light's most recent title was Frenzies, a free to play arena shooter that released in Early Access on Quest in October 2024. A planned PlayStation VR2 port was canceled in 2025. It also released Top Hat, a world in Meta's Horizon Worlds in March 2025.
nDreams Elevation, the remaining studio, was first formed in 2022 to focus on high fidelity, AAA-level VR games. Its most recent title was Reach, a cinematic action adventure game plagued by unfortunate PC VR compatibility issues and reports of players getting soft locked and unable to complete the game. The official statement says Elevation currently has around one hundred twenty staff working on various projects.
nDreams is owned by parent company Aonic, who purchased the company for $110 million in 2023.
Puzzling Places, a delightful 3D jigsaw puzzle game, will launch on Steam in April.
Realities.io has announced that their VR jigsaw game, known for turning real-world locations into hand-crafted 3D puzzles, is coming to PC VR for the very first time on April 9 via Steam.
Puzzling Places has previously been available on Quest, PlayStation VR2, Pico and Apple Vision Pro, where it has been very popular and cumulatively amassed over 3,000 user reviews. The Steam release brings the game's intricate miniature puzzle scenes to a new audience, along with two game modes (Classic Mode or the guided Journey Mode), and adjustable difficulty levels.
The Steam release has naturally been optimized for VR, but will also be playable as a flat screen experience on desktop and Steam Deck. Cross-device play will allow users to jump from VR to flat screen devices at their leisure.
When Puzzling Places debuted on Meta Quest, our reviewer called it "a resounding success," and "[...] one of the best and most unique puzzle games on the platform."

The A new trailer and press release gives more details for the follow up to Affected: The Manor.
We first reported back in 2022 that Affected: The Asylum was expected to release on all VR platforms in 2023. Then, in late 2023, the developer announced the game was delayed into 2024. Since then, there has been radio silence – until now.
Developer Dead Boss Games and publisher Evolution Publishing have released a new short teaser trailer and details about the anticipated horror sequel.
The official press release expands on what players can expect in the story.
A sanatorium with a long, dark history, many years ago, the line between medicine and madness was intentionally erased. Controlled by a secretive cult, they used the institution not to treat patients, but to experiment upon them.
Through a series of harrowing procedures, patients were subjected to "The Preparation", a systematic process of indoctrination and physical alteration. Through this process, the cult sought to merge biology with belief, creating a collective hive mind using a parasitic entity known as the "Holy Gift".
Step into the dilapidated remnants of Blackthorne Asylum to discover the cult’s crowning achievement and greatest failure: SUBJECT 357. An employee who was forcibly selected for the "Apex Experiment" after falling foul of the leader, the process broke them. However, what remained was something more than human. They now roam the asylum as an ever-present predator, a warped manifestation of the cult’s ambitions.
Affected The Asylum screenshots provided by Evolution Publishing
Another takeaway from the new press release is a pivot away from multiplayer. The Asylum was originally announced to have a competitive four player multiplayer mode titled 'The Assessment.' There is no mention of that in the new release and the game is now described as a 'single player psychological survival horror.'
Lastly, Dead Boss Games confirmed to me that it has taken over active development of the game 'with support from Evolution Publishing.' Affected: The Manor was developed and produced by Fallen Planet Studios.
Affected: The Asylum is coming soon to Meta Quest and PC VR in summer 2026.
For years now, Epic Games and Google have been engaged in a back and forth, with the Fortnite maker seeing its titles removed from Android’s Play Store, necessitating users to find alternate means to play the popular Battle Royale on Android. Finally, after countless court sessions and an evolving environment, Google and Epic have finally settled their differences, with Fortnite set to return to the Google Play Store “soon.”
Taking to Twitter to make the announcement, Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney confirmed that “Google is opening up Android all the way with robust support for competing stores, competing payments, and a better deal for all developers. So, we've settled all of our disputes worldwide. THANKS GOOGLE!”
As a result, Sweeney revealed that “Fortnite will return to Google Play Store worldwide soon. Epic Games Store continues supporting Android worldwide alongside Windows and Mac, and installation on Android will become much easier later in 2026.”
Alongside this, Google themselves released a lengthy Android developers blog, confirming the details of this “new era for choice and openness” which includes:
The blog post concluded with a direct reference to the aforementioned Epic Games dispute, with Google stating: “With these updates, we have also resolved our disputes worldwide with Epic Games. We believe these changes will make for a stronger Android ecosystem with even more successful developers and higher-quality apps and games available across more form factors for everyone. We look forward to our continued work with the developer community to build the next generation of digital experiences.”
While there is no denying that Epic Games engaged in this years-long legal battle for self-serving reasons, the final result does seem to be one that will benefit the end users more than before. Full details on these changes and their planned rollout can be found HERE.

One of the studio’s more forgotten projects however was Let it Die – a free-to-play roguelike released back in 2016. 10 years later and this online-only experience is set to be shut down; though an offline version is on the way.
Taking to their blog to make the announcement, the team at Grasshopper Manufacture wrote: “LET IT DIE is a survival action game that was released in 2016 and has been downloaded over 9 million times worldwide. We have been operating online for over nine years, thanks to the support we have received for our unique environment and gameplay. LET IT DIE will put an end to its nine-year online run and go offline.”
Come the 31st of August, Let it Die will officially die and will no longer be playable online. As mentioned however, the team is working on an offline version of the game which will be made available via a single one-time purchase with no additional DLC or microtransactions.
Given that one of the biggest complaints with Let it Die back in the day was its rather heavy monetisation practices, having a fully-featured offline version of the game which doesn’t require you to buy revive tokens could make for a far improved experience.
All that said, regardless of your thoughts towards Let it Die, having the always-online experience being fully reworked into a premium offline title is welcome to see, and means that Let it Die will not disappear into the ether as so many other free-to-play titles have, come their inevitable demise.
