Before a larger NDA article is published this afternoon, here’s a pot of colorful game milk rice for the small appetite: I was able to start the premium edition of “The Outer Worlds 2” at the weekend, thanks to the pre-release access in the form of a private donation of almost 100 euros, secretly bypassing my finance minister [...]
Some time ago, Microsoft announced that it would be launching its own handheld consoles on the market in collaboration with Asus. These are the ASUS ROG Xbox Ally and the more powerful variant, the ASUS ROG Xbox Ally X. The prices have now also been announced and they are definitely in a higher class. The ROG Ally is offered at a price of 599 US [...]
I deliberately bought Cronos: The New Dawn myself when it was released. Also because I don’t jump over every PR stick that is held out to me with keys and beta mails and to be able to judge the game myself with the necessary distance and without being influenced. After 19 (nineteen!) emails, which practically every editorial team received [...]
Perhaps some of you are familiar with the problem: you are playing a game in full-screen mode and want to switch windows briefly, but instead the screen goes black or it takes a moment for everything to react again. For players who like to switch between windows, this wastes time unnecessarily and can also cause a crash. This is exactly where the [...]
The Galax RTX 5070 Ti Hall of Fame is anything but an ordinary graphics card. From the very first glance at the board, it is clear that this is not just a 5070 Ti, but a PCB that is more reminiscent of the upper class in terms of its dimensions and design. In fact, the PCB is so generously dimensioned that it can almost be described as completely [...]
The air-cooled RTX 5090 SUPRIM X has already proven in my test that even 600 watts of GPU power can be tamed surprisingly quietly as long as there is enough cooling surface and a well thought-out design. But even the best air cooling concept has a decisive catch: the heat remains in the housing. And if a graphics card produces more waste heat than [...]
The Battlefield 6 shooter beta started on Wednesday last week and ended yesterday. For most players, however, it only started at the weekend, as the servers were then opened to everyone. Previously, access was reserved exclusively for players with an Early Access key. A large number of players gathered to test the game and as soon as the beta was [...]
As a long-time fan of the Mafia series, I’ve put up with a lot, but after Mafia 3 I was seriously unsure whether the whole thing would ever recover. Too many empty streets, too much open-world idling and too little of what Mafia has always been about. So I was all the more relieved when I finally held Mafia “4” in my hands [...]
Microsoft plans to power its next-generation Xbox with a unified AMD SoC, reports Wccftech ‘s Hassan Mujtaba , from the living room to the handheld and across to the PC. Sounds like console comfort with PC captivity. What is being forged in secret between AMD and Microsoft could finally pulverize the boundaries between console, PC and [...]
With the GeForce RTX 5080 Expert, MSI is specifically targeting users in the upper mid-range to high-end range who value a powerful GPU but deliberately avoid playful design elements such as RGB lighting. Instead, a functional, elegant metal chassis with clear lines and a discreetly industrial look dominates. MSI thus appeals primarily to users [...]
Wuchang Fallen Feathers Today we have a new game to test.

There are currently increasing reports of serious performance problems with AMD’s Radeon RX 9070 and 9070 XT graphics cards in connection with ray tracing effects under DirectX 12 in games based on Unreal Engine 4.

Perhaps some of you may still remember it. In the past, we have reported on the new ONESSUGAR handheld from ONE-NETBOOK. This is an Android handheld with a dual screen and Snapdragon Qualcomm processor. Now the company has revealed new information about its new device and could perhaps convince one or two handheld fans. Let’s take a look at [...]
Today I dug up and reconstructed an old article of mine from 2010 that would otherwise have been permanently lost in the digital wasteland of Tom’s Hardware. It’s always fascinating to see in what form and with what restrictions I had to write back then. Fortunately, I still had my original manuscript, because after four system and [...]

It marks the first major console game from the studio, which was previously best known for the mobile game “Destiny Child”. The publisher is Sony Interactive Entertainment, which has released the title exclusively [...]
I always buy my games myself, deliberately and without exception. This has the simple advantage that I have no obligations to publishers or PR agencies and don’t have to please anyone. That’s exactly why I can react in the same way as a normal customer who, after buying MindsEye, sits stunned in front of his screen and wonders how you [...]

The presented stack is made up of several components that interlock at different levels of the [...]
