Insomniac’s Wolverine game is launching in September

While Insomniac recently stated that it wouldn't be sharing more news about its Wolverine game until the Spring, it turns out that wasn't entirely true. Today, Marvel and Sony both announced that Insomniac's Wolverine will be launching in September. 

Marvel's Wolverine from Insomniac Games is now officially launching on the 15th of September, giving it a solid two months on the market before Rockstar dominates the charts with Grand Theft Auto 6.

Insomniac's Wolverine is a standalone game set in an expanded in-game universe that also encompasses Insomniac's Spider-Man games. Unlike Spider-Man, Wolverine will not be an open-world game, but will instead be a linear action-adventure with a number of unique levels.

While not yet confirmed, Wolverine is believed to be a precursor to Insomniac's own X-Men game.

AMD announces partnership with Meta to provide 6 Gigawatts of GPUs

A few months ago, AMD signed an agreement with OpenAI to supply GPUs for upcoming datacentre projects. Now, the company has also signed an agreement with Meta to deploy up to 6 Gigawatts of AMD Instinct graphics cards to power AI datacentres.

The initial deployment will use a custom Instinct GPU based on AMD’s MI450 architecture, paired with 6th Gen EPYC “Venice” CPUs and running ROCm software. The systems will be built on AMD’s Helios rack‑scale architecture, which AMD and Meta co‑developed through the Open Compute Project. Meta plans to use the platform to accelerate training and inference workloads across its global infrastructure.

In return for this, AMD will issue Meta with up to 160 million shares, depending on performance targets being met. If 6 Gigawatts worth of GPUs are used up, then it appears Meta will get a roughly 10% stake in AMD in return.

Beyond GPUs, the companies are also expanding their EPYC CPU collaboration. Meta has already deployed millions of EPYC processors and significant volumes of Instinct MI300 and MI350 GPUs, and will now become a lead customer for both the 6th Gen EPYC “Venice” and the next‑generation “Verano” CPUs.

AMD and Meta say the partnership will support AI infrastructure at global scale, enabling faster development and deployment of AI models and services used by billions of people.

Resident Evil Requiem, Crimson Desert and more get day-one DLSS support

A new round of DLSS-supported games are dropping this week. There is one clear headliner though – Resident Evil Requiem, which lands this Friday for PC and consoles.

Resident Evil Requiem is the finale to the modern trilogy of games, known as the Winters saga. The game will launch on PC with ray-tracing, DLSS Ray Reconstruction and DLSS 4 with Multi-Frame Generation.

The other major game launching this week is Pearl Abyss's latest action game, Crimson Desert. While it shares a similar title to Black Desert, this is its own distinct game, with its own story. The game launches on March 19th and will have day-one support for DLSS 4 with Multi-Frame Generation.

Other notable titles include John Carpenter's Toxic Commando, which launches with DLSS 4 on March 12th, and will have DLSS 4.5 Override support in the Nvidia app. Arc Raiders, which has supported DLSS since launch, is also launching its latest update today, titled Shrouded Sky.

Sapphire launches Pure X870A motherboard with WiFi 7

Today Sapphire is launching its latest all-white AM5 motherboard, the Pure X870A WiFi 7. Sporting a minimalist design and the full X870 chipset, the motherboard is poised as a high-end option for custom gaming PCs with the latest Ryzen CPUs.

The Pure X870A WiFi 7 supports DDR5 memory up to 8400MHz (OC) and uses a 16+2+1 phase VRM to maintain stable power delivery under heavy workloads or overclocking. Dedicated heatsinks for the VRM, M.2 slots, and chipset help sustain performance during extended gaming sessions.

Connectivity is built around PCIe 5.0 for both graphics cards and NVMe storage, alongside WiFi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, and Realtek 5Gb Ethernet for high‑speed networking. USB4 Type‑C provides 40Gbps bandwidth, DisplayPort Alt Mode, and 15W Power Delivery, giving the board flexibility for modern peripherals and multi‑display setups.

Sapphire’s BIOS offers an updated interface for monitoring and fine‑tuning system behaviour, while the TriXX‑M software extends those controls into Windows for cooling adjustments, lighting customisation, performance monitoring, and diagnostics.

The SAPPHIRE PURE X870A WIFI 7 will be available soon for around $249. We have one in-house to feature in an upcoming build, so stay tuned for that.
