The PlayStation 5 Pro is $700, and that price point is already divisive. It is a high-end console cheaper than most comparable gaming PCs, but it’s still the most expensive console from one of the video game industry’s big three manufacturers. It’ll likely find its audience in tech enthusiasts who crave power, but more casual gamers may find that they have no need to upgrade.
The OnePlus 13 will reportedly be unveiled next month, which only means that the upcoming flagship will be taken through its paces and tested using various benchmark apps to gauge its performance. Well, the first indication of the handset’s single-core and multi-core prowess has been posted on Geekbench 6, with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 cementing its position as the fastest smartphone chipset on the planet. The A18 that was recently announced for the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus is no match for Qualcomm’s latest and greatest, and a comparison with last year’s A17 Pro shows an even bigger lead.
The upcoming PlayStation 5 Pro just had more details revealed at a technical presentation hosted by Mark Cerny. In addition to revealing the controversial $700 price tag for the upgraded console, the eight-minute presentation also revealed a host of games that will be getting PS5 Pro support upon the console's launch on November 7, 2024. Although initial reception from PlayStation gamers was icy at best, the slated graphical enhancements should make the gaming experience more even for those striving for a steady 60 frames per second.
The PlayStation 5 had barely touched down on shelves in 2020 when players began begging for a Pro model. That was a testament to the success of the PS4 Pro in 2016, which successfully made the case for a mid-generation console upgrade. It increased the console’s power significantly, giving players a reason to upgrade ahead of major titles like Horizon Zero Dawn. It makes perfect sense that Sony would want to repeat that trick with the PS5.
Imagine this: You tell your doctor that you're struggling with stress, and she sends you home with instructions to play videogames every week. Even better, your health insurance is going to cover a subscription to the game service, and maybe even a VR headset to play them on. That's the vision of Seattle-based company Deepwell DTx, and it's making real progress: the company's biofeedback software development kit for games just received FDA clearance for «over-the-counter treatments for the reduction of stress and as an adjunctive treatment for high blood pressure.»
This decision will probably surprise many who enjoyed The Crew 2 and The Crew Motorfest, especially since Ubisoft shut down the servers earlier this year. In addition to the controversial move to close down the servers, they then began revoking the licenses to the games, and they delisted The Crew from digital storefronts last December. So far, Ubisoft has continued to make a lot of mistakes with this franchise, especially since it was one that was well-liked by many people.
If you're looking to upgrade to a new RTX 4070 GPU, don't go for Asus' new model fit with GDDR6 VRAM. At least, not at its current price.
Oxenfree, the gloomy adventure game from Night School Studio, will leave indie game storefront Itch.io on October 1, according to an email sent to users who own it this week. And nobody, including anyone who has the game in their library, will be able to download it after it's fully removed.
