Capcom has announced a new Resident Evil Code Veronica remake set to launch in 2027, and it could be out before March.

Resident Evil Veronica was announced at this year's Summer Game Fest, confirming recent rumors and reports. While Capcom didn't share specific details on the new project, the short 3-minute trailer showcased the graphical fidelity and prowess of the RE Engine, dramatically overhauling the original Dreamcast SD game to a 4K-ready thriller.

Capcom recently confirmed it had more unannounced projects to launch in its FY26 timeline, and Resident Evil Veronica is a big one. There's a chance that Veronica could slip outside of the fiscal, but if it doesn't, the game should launch between January and March 2027. This is a favored launch timing for Capcom and the company routinely releases big games during the early calendar year months.

Maxsun has become the first PC manufacturer to bring Intel's Panther Lake and Wildcat Lake mobile processors to desktop motherboards, unveiling two new MoDT (Mobile on Desktop) designs at Computex 2026. These chips are already available on laptops and Mini PCs, but the Chinese board maker is the first to start making Mobile-on-Desktop motherboards with them.

First reported by Wccftech, the more capable of the two boards is the SK-PTLNAS, built around Intel's Core Ultra Series 3 Panther Lake platform. While the board is designed for NAS systems, it follows the ATX standard and can be installed in any regular desktop case.

The unit shown on the Computex floor was running a Core Ultra 7 356H, an 8-core, 8-thread chip with 4Xe3 integrated GPU cores, though Maxsun confirmed the board can scale up to the flagship Core Ultra X9 388H. TDP is maintained at 65W with power delivered through a single 8-pin connector.

Intel's discrete desktop GPU ambitions are alive, at least according to one of its top executives. At a media Q&A during Computex 2026 in Taiwan, Intel EVP and GM of Client Computing Alex Katouzian was asked directly by Tweakers about the future of Arc desktop graphics cards.

He said that desktop GPUs remain a "super important" part of the company's PC lineup, pointing to gaming as a major revenue driver across both mobile and desktop. He also said Intel is seeing good traction with its GPU cores, and that gamers and game engine developers are actively working with the company.

Despite Alex's optimism, the comments come at an awkward time. The Battlemage generation only produced two gaming desktop cards, the Arc B580 and B570, and the long-rumored "Big Battlemage" Arc B770 has still not materialized. The B770 was expected to drop this year, but Intel chose to limit that SKU to the professional and workstation market.

Capcom's newly-published Q&A with investors shows the company is thinking about turning Pragmata into a fully-fledged franchise, and that there are multiple mystery games in the pipeline for this year.

Any games company that needs a crash course on maximizing game sales should pay close attention to Capcom. The Japanese publisher has enjoyed years of continued profit growth thanks to its exceptional new-to-catalog conversion process. Capcom is one of the most adept publishers in the industry at maintaining and carefully curating its catalog content, and as new games release, they are rotated into this sales-acceleration model, which is often driven by steep discounts across digital stores to move a high volume of units--over 59 million in FY25.

In a recent Q&A with investors, Capcom says that it has more games than Pragmata and Onimusha: Way of the Sword planned for this fiscal year. That makes sense, because the firm has to always keep the momentum of releases going year after year, and launching new titles is the first step before the games rotate into the lucrative, business-driving software catalog.

Xbox CEO Asha Sharma plans to reset the business in the next 100 days, right-sizing investments, re-evaluating game exclusivity, and focusing on affordable content and hardware.

Asha Sharma just passed her first 100 days leading Xbox. In that time, Sharma has roused excitement around the brand, made some hefty promises about the future of consoles and even discussed the return of exclusivity, and made radical changes to Game Pass. But it's the next quarter that will bring the most change at Xbox.

In a recent interview with Bloomberg Technology, Sharma spoke about 'resetting' the future of Xbox, giving fans an idea of what to expect moving forward. It sounds like Xbox will change what it spends money on, including which games get greenlit, and start focusing more intently on "making affordable products" in the days of the RAMpocalypse.

After rocking Computex 2026 with the extremely impressive, and likely intensely expensive RTX Spark, NVIDIA's Jensen Huang has flown over to South Korea to meet the iconic League of Legends Esports team, T1.

It was only a day ago that Huang was spotted on the Computex 2026 showroom floor, meeting media, exhibitors, and companies while simultaneously digging through an editor's wallet for NTD banknotes to sign and hand out to showgirls. Notably, Huang returned the favor to the editor by repaying him with NTD$10,000, a signed NTD$1,000 note, and a signed wallet.

Keeping in the same lane as signatures, when Huang visited the T1 Esports team and met Faker, Doran, Oner, Peyz, and Keria, he gifted a signed GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card. Additionally, Huang held up a signed Faker jersey while declaring that South Korea is the birthplace of Esports and that he is a T1 fan. The meeting with the T1 team is ahead of Huang's visit to several South Korean companies, including Samsung, SK Group, LG, and others producing components powering AI, robotics, and data centers.

Valve has published an update on the highly anticipated Steam Machine, which will be the PC company's foray into the console space, but as a PC/console hybrid.

In the update, posted to the Steamworks Documentation website, Valve explains the upcoming PC/console hybrid will be powered by a discrete semi-custom AMD desktop-class CPU, which we know will be AMD Zen 4-based, and a semi-custom AMD RDNA 3 GPU. Valve will target 4K 60FPS in select titles on the Steam Machine, while developers must hit at least 1080p at 30FPS to receive a Steam Machine verification badge.

As for the Steam Machine's power, Valve hasn't released any performance metrics, and the device's performance hasn't been independently verified through extensive testing. However, Valve did give us a hint of what we can expect from Steam Machine performance, as the company wrote in the Steamworks Documentation update that the Steam Machine will be approximately six times more powerful than the Steam Deck.

After confirming that the Steam Machine and Steam Frame will launch this summer, the next question gamers want to know is how much Valve will charge for the PC that looks like a console.

Valve took to its official blog to announce that it's expanding the Verified program to include Steam Machine and Steam Frame, along with a confirmation that it will be shipping both "this summer". For those who don't know, the Steam Machine is a small-form-factor PC that runs SteamOS, a Valve-developed operating system optimized for gaming.

While this all sounds fantastic, the burning question is how much Valve plans to charge for the PC/console hybrid, especially given the company's target of 4K at 60FPS in most games. However, for a title to receive a Verified badge for the Steam Machine, it will need to run at a minimum of 1080p 30FPS on the Steam Machine hardware, which will be a semi-custom AMD RDNA 3 GPU paired with a semi-custom AMD Zen 4 processor.

Noctua has long been known as a maker of exceptional cooling products, but at Computex 2026, it showed it's finally ready to branch out into the realm of AiO coolers and peripherals. The company showed off its production-ready gaming mouse: The Pulsar Feinmann F01 Noctua Edition. It's not the first time this mouse has been seen publicly, but the difference now is that the unit is scheduled to release later in June or July.

The F01 is developed in partnership with Pulsar, incorporating Noctua's signature beige and maroon colors. It's very light at just 73g, but perhaps the most interesting aspect is the inclusion of a NF-A4x10 5V PWM fan that provides quiet airflow towards your palm, with a very low power draw. It has a motion sensor, so the fan stops spinning when you take your hand off it to conserve power. The fan speed can be adjusted via buttons or a driver, with 5 different levels available.

The Pulsar Feinmann F01 features a carbon composite exoskeleton and a USB-C port for charging. It has the XS-2 42000 DPI sensor with an 8K polling rate.

A report out of Computex 2026 sparked concern this week after German publication HardwareLuxx cited AMD Corporate VP David McAfee as saying FSR 4.1 is "not planned" for RDNA 3.5 integrated graphics, with the decision leaning toward a firm no. This is an interesting stance from the company that recently expanded FSR 4.1 support to older GPUs, but then chooses to leave out select iGPUs.

The story was quickly picked up by VideoCardz and others, and for good reason. RDNA 3.5 covers a wide range of AMD silicon, including Strix Point, Strix Halo, Krackan Point, and upcoming refreshes like Gorgon Point and Gorgon Halo, all of which power gaming laptops, handheld PCs, and Copilot+ devices. Integrated GPUs like the Radeon 890M and Radeon 8060S fall into this family, and both can run the INT8 operations required by FSR 4.1.

That's what made the rumor sting. When AMD confirmed FSR 4.1 support for older Radeon GPUs in mid-May, it named the RX 7000 and RX 6000 series but made no mention of integrated graphics based on RDNA 3.5. Part of FSR 4.1's appeal was always its breadth. Unlike NVIDIA's DLSS, which is locked to GeForce hardware with dedicated Tensor cores, FSR is open and software-based, designed to run across a wide range of GPUs, including integrated ones.

Exclusivity is coming back to Xbox in some form as CEO Asha Sharma reiterates the importance of must-have content that's only available on one platform, but no specifics have been revealed yet.

Microsoft's break from game exclusivity has significantly benefited the Xbox business, boosting game sales and per-quarter revenues. But Xbox hardware is a different story, and de-anchoring exclusive software further weakened Microsoft's already-compromised presence in the console market. While previous management took a more aggressive approach to multi-platform, Xbox's new CEO Asha Sharma is open to exclusivity and wants to use it to help strengthen the platform as a whole.

"I think exclusivity is a tough topic. Look, we're the #2 publisher in the world, and in order to be a great publisher you must have your games reach large audiences to play. At the same time, we're increasingly becoming a platform, in order to be a platform, you must have exclusive content and services," the Xbox exec said in a recent interview with Bloomberg Technology.

Valve will ship its new Steam Machine console PC and Steam Frame VR headset this summer, the company today confirmed.

With the new $99 Steam Controller already out, Valve is preparing to launch its next hardware duo in the coming months. Both devices are set to launch sometime in summer 2026, Valve says, which is technically a span ranging between late June and late September.

"Today we are expanding the Verified program to include Steam Machine and Steam Frame, both of which are shipping this summer. As with Steam Deck Verified, the goal is to help customers understand the out-of-box experience for a given title on these new devices, and how smoothly a game will run with no user work or configuration required."

Today's PR fiasco with Amazon is a great lesson in industry politics, and why insulting a potentially lucrative business partner is probably a bad idea.

An Amazon gaming lead today found themselves in hot water when their statements fueled some pretty eye-catching headlines. In a recent interview with Polygon, Amazon Games general manager Jeff Gattis gave an 'um actually' explanation on the new 007 First Light game, saying that Amazon wasn't involved in that project and reminding everyone that new games in the series would theoretically be handled by MGM and Amazon Games.

It wasn't a good look, especially since 007 First Light is a hugely successful AAA release for the aging legacy property. It's been 14 years since the last dedicated James Bond game released, and First Light has become a platinum success shortly after launch with a strong 1.5 million sales in 24 hours. Gattis' implication that Amazon could technically take away James Bond from IO Interactive at a moment's notice simply isn't a great way to maintain a relationship with one of the most talented and proven third-person action sim developers in the industry.

More and more information is starting to appear regarding Intel's upcoming Nova Lake-S desktop platform. During Computex week, tech YouTuber Laurent's Choice (LC Tech Leaks) posted a photo on X showing what appears to be Intel's upcoming LGA1954 socket, captured somewhere in Taipei. No board vendor was named, and it's likely an early engineering sample floating around with a motherboard manufacturer, but the image is real enough to confirm some key details.

The most immediately noticeable thing from the photo is the retention mechanism. Intel is going with a 2L-ILM design, short for two-lever independent loading mechanism. That's a notable departure from the single-lever setup on LGA1851. The dual-lever design distributes the clamping load more evenly across the processor, which is intended to keep the IHS flat and improve contact with your cooler, directly translating into better thermal performance.

It's essentially Intel addressing "bendgate" at the socket level rather than leaving it to users with aftermarket retention kits. Not every Nova Lake CPU in the lineup will require it, so the 2L-ILM is expected to be optional depending on the board.

FromSoftware has attached a release date and a price tag for its new Elden Ring Tarnished Edition re-release on Switch 2 while also promising all of the extra content will be available on other platforms as DLC.

The new Elden Ring Tarnished Edition will release on August 28, 2026 on Switch 2, Bandai Namco has confirmed.This Tarnished Edition re-release features a bunch of extra content that wasn't available on release, including the addition of two fresh playable character classes--the Heavy Knight and the Knight of Ides--as well as new skills, armor, and weapons.

The extra content will be available to all versions of Elden Ring, including the last-gen versions, for around $3.50 or thereabouts (possibly as high as $5 or so). That's a lot less than we'd expect, especially considering the addition of new classes that could change up gameplay quite a bit.

Kotaku recently spoke to a handful of video game industry analysts, and one of them had a succinct explanation on why console hardware prices are so out of hand right now.

Analysts have some bad news for gamers: Hardware prices aren't expected to drop anytime soon. If anything, the prices should rise, which is a difficult concept to grasp now that Sony is selling a $900 PS5 Pro. Kotaku spoke to six analysts and the consensus is that yes, consoles will get more expensive.

Nintendo has officially confirmed it will release a new Switch 2 console with a removable battery for European markets, and this shift could adjust production and manufacturing costs on a long-term basis.

Nintendo plans to launch a new revised Switch 2 with a removable battery that complies with Europe's updated electronic device laws. The company says that these updated consoles will be designated specifically for the region and will have model numbers different than the Switch 2s that are currently sold worldwide.

"The Regulation requires that from February 18th, 2027, batteries integrated into certain appliances and sold in the EU must be easily replaceable by end-users at any time during the lifetime of the product. Nintendo is implementing measures to comply with these requirements by preparing versions of products to meet the Regulation," Nintendo writes in a product sheet update.

If you are in the market for a new case and GPU cooling is one of your biggest concerns, HAVN has the perfect case for you, as it's designed specifically around that - making sure your GPU maintains a healthy temperature so it's able to pump out as many consistent frames as possible.

At the Pro Gamers Group booth at Computex 2026, I was given a tour of HAVN's latest case offerings, and the BF 360 Flow undoubtedly caught my eye for its GPU-focused design. For example, the BF 360 comes equipped with an air-guide ramp for increased GPU cooling, which channels front intake air toward the graphics card.

According to HAVN's internal tests, this design reduces the GPU's average temperature by approximately 5°C, depending on the GPU. Additionally, there is the Universal VGPU Kit with liquid cooling, a vertical GPU mounting bracket designed to be paired with an AIO cooler or a custom water loop.

Getting level 99 in any skill in RuneScape is an achievement, but if you want to get level 99 for your PC build, there is only one requirement - own the Old School RuneScape PC case located below.

As a long-time RuneScape player, obviously Old School RuneScape and not RuneScape 3, when I saw the Old School RuneScape PC case that is part of Starforge Systems' OSRS-themed PC lineup, I immediately attempted to draw a circle on the Computex 2026 showroom floor to teleport back to my house to purchase it. The Old School RuneScape prebuilt PC from Starforge is fully equipped with an OSRS theme, including iconic weapons, armor, and more.

In collaboration with Starforge Systems, APNX explained the V2-F features: removable glass panels for clear component views, support for BTF motherboards, support for up to 13 fans, vertical/horizontal 360 AIO mounting, a vertical GPU support bracket, and four pre-installed 140mm FP3 fans.

With the current memory and storage crisis driving consumer hardware prices to skyrocket, the idea of picking up a fast PCIe Gen5 SSD in 2026 feels like you're at an open market, competing with an AI company for an extra Terabyte or two.

The good news is that there are still companies out there, like Biwin, that are developing storage solutions with everyday users, gamers, and creators in mind. At Computex 2026, we got to see the new Biwin M560 PCIe 5.0 SSD, and were immediately impressed with its design, specs, and potential.

Firstly, it features a DRAMless design, which makes it a more affordable SSD. It also leverages the latest BiCS FLASH generation 8 technology to deliver highly efficient storage capacities of 1TB and 2TB. This means it can deliver Sequential Read speeds of up to 11,000 MB/s (11 GB/s) and Sequential Write speeds of up to 10,000 MB/s (10 GB/s), while drawing only 4.5W of power. So there's no need for active cooling, which makes it a highly versatile option for a wide range of systems.
