I’ve reviewed the plans for the new facility, as detailed in a report from The Guardian, and I’ve also examined the carbon impact assessment. It’s clear the environmental effects have been seriously considered.
This new feature is part of Microsoft’s ongoing work to improve gaming on Windows 11 for players who prefer controllers over mouse and keyboard. While Microsoft has been focusing on this for years, the release of the Xbox Ally and Xbox Ally X really accelerated these efforts.
The ASUS ROG Ally initially looked like a strong contender to the Steam Deck, and the even more powerful ROG Ally X built on that promise. For months, the original Ally, with its AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme processor, felt like a genuine alternative. But everything changed when I started using the MSI Claw 8 AI+ – I immediately preferred it.
The game developer recently published detailed guides to help PC players optimize performance on NVIDIA and AMD graphics cards (as reported by Videocardz). These guides cover 68 different GPUs and provide the best settings for playing at 1080p, 1440p, and 4K resolutions. They offer recommendations for NVIDIA cards ranging from the RTX 2070 up to the RTX 5090, and AMD cards from the RX 5700 XT to the RX 9070 XT.
Chinese regulators investigating a potential monopoly claim that NVIDIA violated antitrust laws when it bought Mellanox, an Israeli chip design company (according to Business Insider).
No matter which laptop you pick, you’ll likely wish you had a bigger screen at some point. While you can use adapters to connect to a monitor, a docking station is a much more reliable and convenient option. I recently tested the ASUS ROG Bulwark Dock to see how well it performs.
With the game launching in just over a month, its narrative director is asking players not to get their hopes up too high.
It turns out the speed test tool included with Windows isn’t a fully integrated feature – it’s simply a quick way to launch a network speed test from Bing in your web browser. Fortunately, Microsoft is aware of the issue and has time to address it.
While revenue is comparable, China boasts a much larger gaming community, representing a huge opportunity for growth – and Microsoft appears to recognize this. A new job posting at Xbox, recently discovered on X (formerly Twitter) by HazzadorGamin, suggests the company is preparing to expand its presence in the Chinese market.
When Microsoft stops supporting a version of Windows, it means they no longer release updates, including important security fixes, and no longer offer technical assistance for that version of the operating system.
