Thermaltake is launching a new programme here in the UK – TT PowerCare. Through this new initiative, ThermalTake power supply buyers in the UK will be well looked after should something ever go wrong, thanks to a swift PSU replacement service to get your system back up and running.

Starting from the 1st of March 2026, TT PowerCare will be introduced across Thermaltake’s PSU range, on top of the existing extended warranty. Under this new service, if a power supply unit is verified as faulty, Thermaltake UK will arrange a replacement within 48 working hours. On top of that, end users will no longer be required to return the faulty PSU, eliminating unnecessary downtime and logistical delays.

Speaking on the TT PowerCare programme, Thermaltake UK said: “At Thermaltake, we believe warranty support should be fast, simple, and customer-centric. With TT PowerCare, we are significantly reducing resolution time and removing friction from the RMA process, delivering peace of mind that truly matches the quality of our power supplies.”

In order to be eligible for the TT PowerCare programme, you will have to buy your TT PSU from a participating retailer. At launch, participating retailers include SCAN, AWD-IT and Falcon Computers. Additional partners may be added to the list in the future.

KitGuru Says: We don't see many initiatives like this across the UK so it is nice to see Thermaltake stepping up here. Do you think more brands should offer replacement services like this?

We have our first look at the upcoming live-action God of War series set to air on Amazon Prime. Unfortunately, the reveal hasn't gone down entirely well.

The first in-character shot of Kratos and his son, Atreus, has been released as part of an early marketing push for the God of War TV series. The show was already ordered for two seasons and it is expected that these seasons will follow the events of the 2018 God of War game and its 2022 sequel, God of War: Ragnarok.

The official synopsis for the show says: “Father and son Kratos and Atreus embark on a journey to spread the ashes of their wife and mother, Faye. Through their adventures, Kratos tries to teach his son to be a better god, while Atreus tries to teach his father how to be a better human.”

There is no word yet on when the first season will premiere but if filming is happening now, then chances are we will be watching the first episode in around a year's time.

KitGuru Says: While this isn't necessarily a frame-grab from a fully shot and edited scene, it does give us an idea of the costume and make-up design. I expect the final show to look better with all of the special effects in place.

It has been almost a year since Pokémon Colosseum, and its sequel were announced for the new GameCube expansion for Switch Online on Switch 2 consoles. Today during a Pokémon anniversary showcase, Nintendo finally announced when at least one of these games will become playable. 

Funnily enough, it is the second game, Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness, that will be joining the GameCube Switch Online library first. The game is a sequel to Pokémon Colosseum, a fan-favourite home-console game amongst long-time fans of the series. Gale of Darkness will be playable on Switch 2 consoles starting in March.

Gale of Darkness and Pokémon Colosseum were two of the first games announced for the new GameCube emulator for Switch Online subscribers. As the GameCube expansion is only accessible on Switch 2, that would also make both games Switch 2 exclusives, unless you happen to have the original hardware and copies of the game lying around.

While Gale of Darkness is arriving in March, there is still no confirmed date for Colosseum.

KitGuru Says: This has been a big day for Pokemon fans, with Fire Red and Leaf Green returning, alongside the first trailer for the next-generation mainline game, Pokémon Wind & Waves.

The leaks were correct, the next generation of Pokémon, the Gen 10 titles, will be titled Winds and Waves. Pokémon Winds & Waves will take on the mantle from Scarlet and Violet, the last titles of the original Switch generation.

Over the Switch generation mainline Pokémon games went through a lot of changes, moving from the traditional top-down layout to massive open-world maps with free travel and roaming 3D Pokémon. Game Freak has also begun experimenting with ‘Legends' titles, which also offer open-world gameplay, but feature experimental catching and battle mechanics.

Pokémon Winds and Waves will be the first exclusive Pokémon game for the Switch 2. The trailer also revealed the three new starter type Pokémon for this generation, including Pombon – a fire type dog, Browst – a Grass-type owl and Gecqua – a water type Gecko.

Pokémon Winds and Waves will launch for the Switch 2 sometime in 2027. It is unclear if the games will launch in early 2027, around February, or if Game Freak will save the titles for later in the year.

KitGuru Says: Are you looking forward to the next mainline Pokémon game?

Sony is preparing to roll out an upgraded version of its PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) upscaling technology for PS5 Pro, with the update scheduled to arrive globally in the coming weeks.

PSSR is Sony’s AI‑driven image‑enhancement library, already used in more than 50 PS5 Pro titles to boost effective resolution by analysing each frame at the pixel level. The new release represents a major overhaul of both the neural network and the underlying algorithm.

Resident Evil Requiem, launching today, is the first game to ship with the enhanced PSSR. Capcom’s Masaru Ijuin says the studio focused on improving the fidelity of the protagonist through an upgraded RE Engine, including individually rendered hair and beard strands that react to movement and light. According to Ijuin, the new PSSR is able to preserve these fine details during upscaling, helping maintain both image quality and performance while pushing the game’s horror presentation further.

Sony says the revised algorithm stems from its Project Amethyst partnership with AMD, building on the same foundations as AMD’s FSR 4 technology. The PS5 Pro version includes an additional six months of refinement tailored specifically for the console.

More titles are expected to adopt the improved PSSR in March, alongside a system software update. Once installed, PS5 Pro owners will be able to enable “Enhance PSSR Image Quality” in Settings, applying the new upscaler to any supported game. Sony suggests some titles may show noticeably sharper results once the feature is active.

KitGuru Says: Do you own a PS5 Pro? Have you been impressed with many games on it so far?

AMD has released its Adrenalin Edition 26.2.2 driver, adding support for Resident Evil Requiem and Marathon while addressing several stability issues.

The update resolves intermittent crashes or driver timeouts in Roblox Player (Car Zone Racing & Drifting) when switching between media, and fixes texture flickering seen in some Windows desktop applications when Instant Replay and Record Desktop were enabled.

A number of issues remain under investigation. Cyberpunk 2077 may still crash when loading a save with Path Tracing enabled, and Battlefield 6 can show similar behaviour on systems using the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370. Texture flickering may also appear in Battlefield 6 when using AMD Record and Stream, while FSR Upscaling and Frame Generation may show as inactive in several titles on Radeon RX 9000‑series GPUs.

AMD recommends using the AMD Cleanup Utility when rolling back to an earlier driver. The 26.2.2 package is available now, with auto‑detect installation offered for all supported products.

Naturally, if you are picking up Resident Evil Requiem or Marathon this weekend, then upgrading to this driver is recommended.

KitGuru Says: Nvidia had to pull back its Game Ready driver for these titles, so AMD GPU users may get the best experience this weekend.

While Warner Bros had initially been intent on accepting Netflix's buyout offer, Paramount ultimately started a bidding war for the company. Now, Netflix has confirmed that it is pulling out.

Netflix will no longer be buying Warner Bros Discovery as planned. Paramount Skydance has increased its bid for the company to $31 per share, making its buyout offer worth tens of billions more than Netflix's offer. Paramount will also be paying Netflix $2.8 billion to settle the contract termination fee with Warner Bros.

For gamers, this is slightly concerning news. While Netflix's gaming operation is still quite new, it would be in a better position to take over the likes of NetherRealm and Rocksteady. Paramount on the other hand has very little experience with AAA video games and may not be interested in that aspect of the deal at all.

It is unclear when the Paramount – Warner Bros merger will finalise. The deal will still be subject to regulator approvals and that process can take years.

KitGuru Says: Do you think this new merger will be successful for Paramount?

Resident Evil Requiem was already off to a good start with critics but it also appears to have been a huge day-one success with PC gamers as well. When the new game unlocked last night, player-counts shot up to almost 300K. 

With a peak concurrent player count of over 275,000 on Steam (via IG), Resident Evil Requiem now has the biggest PC launch of any of the mainline games or remakes. For reference, this is 200K more concurrent players than the peak for Resident Evil 2 Remake, and a little more than 100K more than Resident Evil 4 Remake.

Resident Evil Requiem has launched today to a wave of positive reviews from fans and critics alike. The game successfully marries memorable action moments with the tense survival horror vibe of Resident Evil 7.

Resident Evil Requiem is available now for PC and consoles. An AMD graphics driver update is available for Radeon GPU users. Nvidia had also released a driver for this launch but had to pull it from circulation due to bugs.

KitGuru Says: Are you playing Resident Evil Requiem this weekend? 

The new Nvidia Game Ready graphics driver that began rolling out yesterday has been suddenly pulled shortly after circulation. Nvidia has removed downloads for the driver temporarily while it investigates a number of reported issues.

According to some reports, the new driver contained a bug that would stop GPU fans spinning, as well as a voltage locking issue, HDR problems and issues with simple tasks like video playback.

Nvidia confirmed that it has pulled downloads of the driver on its blog page, saying: “We have discovered a bug in the Game Ready and Studio 595.59 WHQL drivers and have removed the downloads temporarily while our team investigates. For users that have already installed this driver and are experiencing issues with fan control, please roll back to 591.86 WHQL”.

If you have the Nvidia App, you can still roll back your driver through the drivers tab by scrolling down and clicking the three dots in the corner.

KitGuru Says: This is unfortunate timing, especially with Resident Evil Requiem becoming widely available today. There is no timeline yet for a hotfix but we will keep our eyes out for it.

For a little while now, Machine Games has been teasing the return of Wolfenstein, as the studio still plans to finish up the B.J. Blazkowicz storyline. Now, it would seem some early details about story plans for the game have leaked. 

MP1st viewed alleged casting call details as Machine Games is apparently in the process of recruiting actors for the game. Fake scenarios are often used for auditioning purposes, so it is unclear if anything mentioned in the brief story synopsis for the project will make it into the final game.

With that said, the casting call points to a new Ukranian orphan character entering the picture in the next Wolfenstein game to join Blazkowicz on his journey.

It is also claimed that shooting for this project will take place over a number of dates later this year and in early 2027. If accurate, that means the next Wolfenstein game could be ready for a proper reveal next year.

The latest DLC for Borderlands 4 is now rolling out. Bounty Pack 2: Legend of the Stone Demon is the first piece of paid post-launch content for the game, which hit PC and current-gen consoles in October. A Switch 2 version was also planned but appears to be on pause while Gearbox focuses on updates for the current versions of the game.

In this new DLC, players will set out on a mission to end a series of rituals and human sacrifices, culminating in a show down with the Stone Demon.

Alongside Bounty Pack 2, a major update has been released that brings Pearlescent gear to Borderlands 4. This is a new rarity tier, so players now have something to chase beyond the game's trove of legendary items.

Additional content in Bounty Pack 2 includes:

• 10 new pieces of powerful Legendary and Pearlescent loot
• Added rewards including a new Vault Hunter Skin, new Digirunner vehicle, and new ECHO-4 Drone Skin
• A Vault Card featuring 24 cosmetics and 4 rerollable pieces of new mecha- and kaiju-themed gear to unlock through gameplay

Players that own Borderlands 4 Super Deluxe Edition are automatically granted access to Bounty Pack 2 and all content from the Bounty Pack Bundle (Bounty Packs 2, 3, 4, and 5) and Vault Hunter Pack (Story Packs 1 and 2), while Borderlands 4 Deluxe Edition grants the Bounty Pack Bundle.

The most unlikely Quantic Dream game to date has arrived. Spellcasters Chronicles is the studio's first foray into multiplayer PvP gaming. The game is now available through the Steam Early Access programme, with a roadmap of updates planned out for the months ahead.

Early Access marks the start of an open “Workshop” phase, where players are invited to help shape balance, progression and long‑term features. Unlike previous closed betas focused on stability, this stage shifts toward refining mechanics, iterating on systems and testing new ideas based on community feedback. Quantic Dream says player input will directly influence priorities and future content throughout development.

Alongside the launch, the studio has outlined its Early Access roadmap, which will roll out features such as voice chat, expanded customisation, a reworked ranked mode, spell‑unlock progression, daily quests and shop updates. Early glimpses of upcoming content include a new arena, Kamazad, and a new Spellcaster class, the Technomancer, with more details to follow. The roadmap will remain flexible as the team adapts to player feedback.

Early Access adds several new systems and pieces of content, including a final tutorial, co‑op vs CPU mode, voice chat, Discord integration, a spell‑unlock system and an in‑game shop. New spells (Ice Ray, Poison Breath, Metamorphosis, Holy Arrow), two summons (Siren, Rhino Rider) and a new building (Rocket Soldier Factory) expand deck‑building options.

NVIDIA has released a new GeForce Game Ready driver optimised for Resident Evil Requiem, which launches tomorrow with support for path tracing, DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation, and DLSS Ray Reconstruction. The new driver also adds support for Marathon ahead of its Server Slam open playtest this weekend.

Resident Evil Requiem features first‑person and third‑person modes as players follow Grace Ashcroft and Leon S. Kennedy through a new investigation tied to the 1998 Raccoon City incident. On GeForce RTX hardware, the game enables full path tracing with improved lighting, shadows, reflections and refractions, enhanced further by DLSS Ray Reconstruction. RTX 50‑series GPUs can also use DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation to boost frame rates at high resolutions and settings. RTX 40 series GPU users can also use standard frame generation.

Aside from optimisations for both Resident Evil Requiem and Marathon, the new driver update also fixes a number of issues. For instance, a bug impacting performance in Quantum Break has been resolved, as has an image corruption issue while playing Modern Warfare (2019).

The GeForce Game Ready 595.59 WHQL driver is available now through the NVIDIA app.

We are still a couple of days away from being able to get our hands on Resident Evil Requiem, but if early reviews are any indication, Capcom should have another early-year hit on its hands.

The first 100+ reviews for Resident Evil Requiem all went live this afternoon. The PS5 version of the game has the most reviews, achieving an 89 overall critic score on metacritic, although the Xbox, PC and Switch 2 versions all have overall scores above 90.

The story is similar over on OpenCritic, where the game has a 96% recommendation rating and an 88 overall score based on close to 100 critic reviews.

Resident Evil Requiem is the final game in the ‘Winters Saga', which kicked off with Resident Evil 7 a number of years ago. The game is launching for PS5, Xbox Series X/S and Switch 2 on the 27th of February, with a 60FPS frame rate target across all of those platforms. A PC version is also launching this week with full access to features like higher-fidelity ray-tracing, as well as upscaling technologies like DLSS or FSR.
