War Thunder is exclusive to the PS4 and PC right now, but the game will be launching on the Xbox One family of consoles soon enough, with some Xbox One X exclusive upgrades.

During an interview with Gaijin Entertainment CEO Anton Yudinstsev, the developers will be adding a new 60FPS performance mode and graphical upgrades to the PS4 Pro in the near future, as Sony's beefier console only runs War Thunder at 1440p 30FPS right now.

The developer said that they are "thrilled to announce that we have reached an agreement with Microsoft to bring War Thunder to Xbox One and Xbox One X". Yudintsev added: "We plan to achieve 60 fps or 30 fps with higher graphical settings (as an option) on Xbox One X later this year, with one of the upcoming engine updates. At launch we will be 30 fps, I guess, uncapped".

Now that we're just weeks away from the launch of AMD's new CPU architecture 'Pinnacle Ridge', we're seeing more leaks of performance and specifications on the Ryzen 7 2700X and Ryzen 5 2600.

Once again, a review was posted on SiSoftware's website but VideoCardz reports that it was "quickly removed", but they copy/pasted all of the important information. The review itself was between the Ryzen 7 2700X and current-gen Ryzen 7 1700X, with the largest change being AMD now supporting DDR4-2933MHz RAM, and the use of the 12nm node - down from the 14nm node.

The full skinny on Ryzen 7 2700X vs Ryzen 7 1700X is right here, but the SiSoftware reviewer said that Ryzen 2000 has improvements to bandwidth and latency, and this will only improve with future BIOS revisions. DDR4-2933MHz RAM support out of the box is also awesome, too.

NVIDIA hasn't briefed press on their upcoming RTX technology just yet, but VideoCardz is reporting that the GeForce giant will announce RTX on Monday.

NVIDIA's new RTX technology is a huge deal as it will usher in real-time cinematic rendering for game developers, with NVIDIA also preparing Ray Tracing for GameWorks, something that will allow real-time Area Shadows, Glossy Reflections, and Ambient Occlusion for game development.

The company has teamed up with Microsoft for a new API for RTX, something that will allow major game engines to support it, including Unreal Engine, Unity, and DICE's Frostbite engine. VideoCardz reports that there are already three developers that are working on RTX: EA Games, Remedy, and 4A Games.

ASRock was rumored to be working on new graphics cards, as the Taiwanese manufacturer would enter as a new AIB partner for AMD Radeon according to reports, and now the company is fully teasing their upcoming Phantom Gaming graphics cards. Check out the trailer:

ASRock teases: "Mystery videos published... Look forward to the announcement! #ASRock #PhantomGaming #PG #Phantom #Gaming #FAST #MYSTERIOUS #UNPREDICTABLE".

We can see the card looks like a dual-slot affair with a single 8-pin PCIe connector, so we should expect it to arrive as a custom Radeon RX 580 and not a custom Radeon RX Vega 56/64 as they require 2 x 8-pin PCIe power connectors. We could be surprised, but I doubt it.

SEGA and Creative Assembly have released their first trailer of their series that concentrates on more specific points in history, Total War Saga. The 'Thrones of Britannia' trailer shows that the Vikings are on their way.

Creative Assembly have also released a bunch of information regarding Thrones of Britannia, if players can achieve Fame, Conquest or Kingdom Victory they will face one of three foreign armies (Normans, Danes, or Norse) these armies will be out for blood. Players that defeat the foreign invaders will achieve Ultimate Victory.

The Civic Technology Tree and Military Technology Tree has also been revealed by Creative Assembly, check out the below images if you are interested in reading what is in store for the upcoming Total War Saga installment.

Believe it or not but there was once speculation of the next Overwatch hero being a cat with a jetpack, then we had confirmation that it was infact Torbjorns daughter and now we have got a release date for Brigitte Lindholm.

To celebrate the announcement of the date Brigitte will debut, lead character and concept artist Ben Zhang talks us through the design process of bringing Brigitte to the Overwatch team.

Zhang discusses that Brigitte is a squire of Reinhardt and daughter of Torbjorn, these factors have influenced the creative assembly of Brigitte's abilities/appearance, check out the above short video for a further description.

On the official Sea of Thieves YouTube channel a new launch trailer has surfaced ahead of the games launch next week on the March 20. The new launch trailer has revealed a short glimpse at the mighty Kraken.

From the above video can see that players will have a plethora of costume options, this same principle can be applied to the ships as well.

Below I have provided you with screenshots of the Kraken. It seems that the beast is certainly quite large when in comparison to the ships players will be operating, interestingly enough this raises the question how will players defend their ships. This is the first time we have seen the Kraken in action, hopefully there is a creative/amusing way to deal with the beast, maybe a option like 'pour kerosene' / 'Ignite' for tentacles that are wrapped around players ships?

Nintendo Germany has made a recent announcement today, they have said that the Nintendo Switch has hit a massive 650,000 units sold, breaking a new record.

Previously, the Nintendo Wii held the ten-year record sales but now the Nintendo Switch has broken through that record with over 650,000 units sold in just the first year of the handheld console.

The sales of the Nintendo Switch is honestly shocking, the more games that debut to Nintendo's console the more of a steady incline the console sales could have. We now know that Super Smash Bros. is coming to the Nintendo Switch, so we could possibly see a slight increase in sales whenever Nintendo decide to release the brawler.

The release of Avengers: Infinity War is right around the corner, and now a week early thanks to Marvel and Robert Downey Jr. pulling the release forward to April 27, and now AMC is announcing a 31-hour MCU marathon.

Marvel has 18 movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which started with Iron Man and ends with Black Panther, and AMC has it all playing for 31 hours straight. You don't need to sit through them all, but you're going to be taking in a serious amount of movies in that time - but what better way to lead into Infinity War, right?!

I can see a pizza-making robot in our very near future, but now Little Caesars has received a new patent for an "automated pizza assembly system". Yeah, a pizza-making robot.

Little Caesars' robot would, according to the patent, be a "robot including a stationary base and an articulating arm having a gripper attached to the end is operable to grip a pizza pan having pizza dough therein". After the robot rotates the pizza pan through "the cheese spreading station" and then the "pepperoni applying station". Automated pizza making, awesome.

You shouldn't expect to walk into Little Caesars anytime soon and watch a robot make your pizza, but for the future (think 10-15 years) we could expect more robotic and autonomous machines making not just our pizzas, but food in general. Robotic kitchen assistants will be a thing in the future.

Studio Wildcard announces that ARK: Survival Evolved will make its way onto mobiles as an expansive port.

ARK is indeed coming to Android and iOS, and War Drum Studios (the devs behind mobile ports of Bully and GTA) have been conscripted to bring the "entire ARK MMO survival experience" to smartphones and tablets. The mobile port will feature both singleplayer and multiplayer action, and follow the recent news of the series' voxel-based spin-off PixARK, which aims at engaging and enticing the Minecraft community.

"Designed and developed by War Drum, ARK: Survival Evolved mobile is free-to-play and puts the genre-defining adventure in the palm of your hand, letting you join forces with tens of thousands of other dino-hunters," reads a press release. "This on-the-go version features the full online survival experience contained in the PC and console versions of ARK, including a gigantic island to explore, 80+ dinosaurs and primeval creatures to tame and train, multiplayer tribe mechanics, and of course, crafting and building!"

The rumors were true: Geralt of Rivia is coming to Soul Calibur VI, and he looks awesome.

Bandai Namco today confirmed that the White Wolf/Butcher of Blaviken will slash his way onto Soul Calibur VI's character lineup in a brand new crossover. Geralt's moveset will mirror his annihilating attacks from The Witcher games, including both smooth and brutal swordplay along with magical signs including Igni and Axii--and even potions to boot.

The teaser trailer shows Geralt slicing through foes like butter and brings to mind the whirling chaos found in the first game. CD Projekt RED has confirmed that Doug Cockle, who voices Geralt, will return for Soul Calibur VI with original lines.

The first gameplay video has been released for the upcoming real-time strategy game Iron Harvest. To go with the trailer the developers have also launched a Kickstarter campaign.

Iron Harvest, developed by KING Art Games seems to be taking some tips and tricks from classic real-time strategy games such as Company of Heroes and Warcraft. To get this unique game up and running the developers have asked the community to reach a stretch goal of $450k on Kickstarter in the next 31 days.

Iron Harvest will be featuring three different playable factions that will consist of 40 unique unit types and 9 heroes. Not only will the game be multiplayer but it will also be featuring a single-player campaign that contains a lengthy 21 missions.

The fourth PVP expansion coming to Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands will be bringing new PVP maps and more classes to the tactical shooter.

The update titled 'New Assignment' will be bringing two additional maps, three more classes and a map voting option. The above trailer details exactly what will be found in the coming update.

The new update will be arriving on Xbox One and PS4 on March 14th, unfortunately for PC gamers they will have to wait a little bit longer as there has been some unexpected issues that the developers have run into. Ubisoft has said that they are currently working on the PC version of the update and will be bringing it to gamers "as soon as possible."

After the recent success of Bandai Namco's Dragon Ball FighterZ, a new trailer has been launched for the new character Broly.

Dragon Ball FighterZ is about to have a new fighter join the roster and it is none other than the megalomaniac legendary Super Saiyan Broly.

From the trailer we can see that Broly is equally as powerful as he is depicted in the Dragon Ball movies. Throwing Ki blasts and knocking other characters around like they are nothing is what he specializes in, check out the above trailer for a slightly more in-depth look at the soon to be released character.

The past two days leading up to the announcement of Square Enix's and Crystal Dynamics Shadow of The Tomb Raider have had quite the series of consecutive leaks, could this be guerrilla marketing?

The past two days the gaming news spotlight has been focused on the leaks of Shadow of The Tomb Raider, as the titles announcement date comes closer and closer. Interestingly enough though the leaks have consisted of very sloppy mistakes, perhaps one would consider it to be slightly too sloppy.

The first leak consisted of the count down websites source code revealing the games pre-orders package reveal date for April 27th and the release which is on September 14th. This is MAJOR embarrassment for both the developer and the publisher, as how easy is it to 'inspect element' on a website for a game that literally just has a countdown on it. Not everyone is going to do it, but usually the person that does do it is looking for something, which would mean they would most likely post it.

The Shadow of The Tomb Raider has unfortunately been the subject for a incredible amount of leaks, yesterday the game had its released date revealed and today it has had its setting revealed through a Facebook video.

Yesterday the released date for the game was revealed through the source code of the countdown website, and now a video has surfaced showing the setting Lara will be facing. The video was leaked by Facebook user Mik Hdn and can be found here.

From the video we can see Lara running through a jungle like setting that contains pyramids that could either Mayan or Aztec origin. Assuming that is the case of the pyramids, this would mean that the title would be featured in either Central America or Mexico.

Ninja and Drake have decided to duo on Fortnite while streaming on Twitch, the stream has brought in a massive 600K concurrent viewers breaking Ninja's record.

The stream currently at the time of writing this has a massive 602,836 current viewers while both Ninja and Drake are trying to plan for more rappers such as Lil Yachty and Travis Scott to join in on the action.

Check out the below Tweets that have caused this massive increase of stream viewers for Ninja, could the stream reach a 1 million concurrent viewers if Post Malone, Travis Scott and more rappers join?

DICE has allowed Battlefield 1 gamers to access their Community Test Environment (CTE) where players can test out in-progress updates before they're pushed into the final game.

The developer has recently announced that the CTEs for the PS4 and Xbox One will no longer be used, with DICE pushing all-in on CTEs for PC gamers. DICE announced the news on Reddit, where they said they won't be updating the CTE servers to the latest version after the improvements they'll release this month.

DICE also said that all of the updates used in the PC CTE are for "developmental feedback purposes" and might not even be released into Battlefield 1. PS4 and Xbox One gamers with the CTE for Battlefield 1 installed can delete the CTE download now, saving some previous HDD space on their consoles.
