The Indonesian Game Rating System (IGRS) has confirmed Diablo IV: Lord of Hatred is coming to the Nintendo Switch, or at least that is what the official IGRS website currently states.

Diablo IV: Lord of Hatred is scheduled to release on April 28, 2026, and so far, it's confirmed for PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One. At the moment, Nintendo's handhelds aren't confirmed as platforms, but the IGRS website for Diablo IV: Lord of Hatred lists "Nintendo Switch" as one of the supported platforms. Notably, the listing lists only "Nintendo Switch," not "Nintendo Switch 2," which has led some to believe the upcoming expansion is coming to Nintendo's older hardware as well.

However, that is unlikely to be the case, especially considering Diablo IV isn't even on the original Nintendo Switch. It's more likely Blizzard announces Diablo IV is coming to the Nintendo Switch 2, and the Lord of Hatred expansion is also arriving on the recently released handheld. Unfortunately, nothing is confirmed as of yet, and ratings boards have been wrong in the past. Although the IGRS was responsible for the recent leaks of 007 First Light and Assassin's Creed: Black Flag Resynced, which turned out to be true.

Paramount was planning to release The Legend of Aang: The Last Airbender, a new animated movie based on the cult-classic animated TV series that followed Aang far into his life, on Paramount+ on October 9 this year. However, the entire movie has leaked online, and it's already available on numerous torrenting websites.

Originally, Paramount intended to release the new animated movie in theaters, but throughout its development, it decided that The Legend of Aang would go straight to Paramount+, its streaming service. The leak began on X with a user writing that Nickelodeon had sent them an entire copy of The Legend of Aang, which was followed up by the user threatening Paramount to livestream the movie if the streaming giant didn't release the official trailer for the animated movie.

Shortly after, entire copies of The Legend of Aang began appearing on X, with users receiving links that would expire after a few hours. Those who managed to get an active link were directed to a download via various file-sharing platforms. Simultaneously, clips from the movie were appearing on X and Reddit, some showing critical plot points.

According to a new report from Warranty Week, NVIDIA's warranty claim expenses for discrete GPUs increased by a whopping 1000% in 2025 compared to 2024. This refers to the money NVIDIA has spent on warranties, with the report noting that NVIDIA paid $81 million in claims in 2024, rising to $894 million in 2025.

Naturally, this increase is also reflected in the warranty claim rate for NVIDIA's GPUs, which rose from 0.17% in the first quarter of 2025 up to 0.90% in the fourth quarter. Warranty Week obtained all of this data from NVIDIA's public records, so we don't have specific information on which GeForce RTX models are affected or whether this includes RTX Ada and Blackwell data center and workstation graphics card products. However, with $894 million spent on warranty claims, it probably includes all of the above.

For consumers and PC gamers, a rise in warranty claims makes sense when you factor in the power issues surrounding the GeForce RTX 40 and RTX 50 Series graphics cards that adopted the new 16-pin 12VHPWR and 12V-2x6 power connectors, which led to several well-publicized cases of cables melting and GPUs getting damaged. Another factor would be the overall price increases associated with several GeForce RTX 50 Series and RTX Blackwell workstation GPUs.

Yesterday, we got in-depth details about Intel's upcoming Nova Lake-S desktop processors, which are on track for release later this year. The reliable source for the information was apparently internal Intel documentation, so the report includes a detailed breakdown of planned SKUs for upcoming Intel Core Ultra 400 Series CPUs, ranging from 6-core models to a whopping 52-core 175W variant that may or may not make its way to consumers.

Today, we've got a fresh Nova Lake-S from Jaykihn on social media, who reports that Intel is considering releasing a desktop Nova Lake APU integrating 12 Xe3P graphics cores. This would be a far more powerful iGPU than the Core Ultra 400 Series lineup we saw the other day, which is set to ship with 2 Xe graphics cores. It's also a newer, more advanced Arc Graphics architecture, as denoted by the Xe3P naming, and is equivalent to the Intel Arc B390 integrated GPU found in Intel's new Panther Lake mobile chips.

What makes this exciting for potential Mini PCs and compact builds is that it would offer a compelling alternative to AMD's APUs with integrated Radeon graphics. Based on recent Panther Lake reviews, the Arc B390 iGPU outperforms AMD's Radeon 890M across several benchmarks and supports AI-powered Super Resolution and Frame Generation via Intel's XeSS technology.

Last month, we reported on a rumor that NVIDIA is planning to launch a new GeForce RTX 5050 with 9GB of VRAM, increasing the overall VRAM capacity by 1GB. Now, that's not a lot, and the main reason for the change is the recent availability of 3GB GDDR7 modules. For a GeForce RTX 5050 9GB GPU, this would reportedly also feature a 96-bit memory bus rather than 128-bit, delivering a 5% increase in memory bandwidth and a 12.5% increase in VRAM capacity.

This month, we've got a fresh batch of 9GB GPU rumors courtesy of the China-based Board Channels forum, which regularly posts new information on unreleased GPUs and inventory updates from NVIDIA's GeForce RTX partners. The translated post notes that in addition to releasing a GeForce RTX 5050 9GB GPU, NVIDIA might also upgrade its other 8GB GPUs with this new 9GB configuration featuring 3GB modules.

So, that would mean that we could see GeForce RTX 5060 9GB and a GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 9GB GPUs as early as the end of May or the beginning of June. As noted by VideoCardz, which broke this story, while the extra 1GB of memory might come in handy in some titles, if NVIDIA were to shift to the smaller 96-bit memory interface, the overall bandwidth on these new GeForce RTX 5060 and RTX 5060 Ti variants would drop, potentially affecting performance.

Endorfy is expanding its PC case lineup with its first panoramic "showcase-style" cases, the Aquarius 8000 Corona and Aquarius 8000 Flex. As expected for a panoramic-style case, you've got tempered-glass panels on the side and front, with Endorfy's Aquarius 8000 Series, including a flat side panel and curved front panel.

Endorfy says the overall look and feel is inspired by 1960s design, with a premium metal-and-glass construction that includes a second chamber with vibration damping hidden behind mesh panels for the PSU and expanded storage. The main chamber in the Aquarius 8000 Series features ample room for modern hardware, including graphics cards up to 450mm and radiators up to 420mm in length.

The mix of perforated metal and glass has also been designed to deliver optimal airflow in addition to simply looking good, with the Aquarius 8000 Series cases supporting up to ten fans. The big difference between the two variants is that the Aquarius 8000 Corona case comes pre-installed with four of Endorfy's latest Corona 120 ARGB fans.

Capcom's Pragmata is out this week, and based on early reviews from various media outlets, it's another excellent game from the company that recently released the acclaimed Resident Evil Requiem. Pragmata is a sci-fi action-adventure set in the near future, with a realistic visual style that presents a futuristic vision of our moon and Earth, centered on the discovery of a new material called Lunafilament.

In the game, you take control of investigator Hugh and a mysterious young android called Diana as you explore a lunar installation and face off against a rogue AI. Like Resident Evil Requiem, Capcom's Pragmata runs on the studio's proprietary RE Engine. For the game's PC version, that means support for a visually stunning path-tracing mode in addition to ray tracing.

And for GeForce RTX gamers, especially those with GeForce RTX 50 Series graphics cards, there's full support for DLSS, including Super Resolution, Ray Reconstruction, Frame Generation, and Multi Frame Generation. Plus, the brand-new Dynamic Frame Generation. And with that, NVIDIA has announced the new Pragmata GeForce RTX 50 Series Bundle, which is offering a Steam copy of the game with qualifying GeForce RTX 50 Series purchases.

SuperData founder and entertainment industry expert Joost van Dreunen argues that Microsoft could become a pioneer in the dedicated gaming space by relying more heavily on advertising to help grow Game Pass and the Xbox business.

Ads are likely coming to Xbox in some form--after all, Microsoft did buy Xandr back in 2021, and they also acquired King's lucrative adtech platform as part of 2023's ABK acquisition. So...when will Microsoft start employing this technology into its more widespread ecosystem, like, say, its console market? That's a tricky question to answer, and Microsoft doesn't yet have the solution, although there have been rumblings that a free ad-supported version of Xbox Cloud Gaming could be offered this year.

Games analyst and scholar Joost van Dreunen has some ideas on this topic, and in his latest Substack newsletter, van Dreunen waxes intellectual on the traditional media business and how Microsoft will have to try to evolve the formula to eke out more success with Game Pass.

Fans are in for a shocking sequel with Metro 2039 as a newly leaked plot synopsis paints a grisly post-apocalyptic picture.

Metro games are known for their grueling depictions of suffering against the backdrop of slim hope and survival, and it's these themes that give the games their signature, nail-biting tension. The next Metro game is being set up as a truly wrenching experience that could push the series to new heights.

While 4A Games is set to reveal Metro 2039 during the Xbox First Look showcase on April 16, early details about the game have surfaced via a recent Indonesian database leak.

Hackers have inadvertently surged Take-Two's market cap by billions of dollars after revealing how successful Grand Theft Auto Online is for Rockstar Games.

The recent hack on Rockstar Games has led to a major boost for its parent company, Take-Two Interactive. After their ransom wasn't paid, hacker collective ShinyHunters released key info that was purportedly infiltrated via Rockstar's accounts, however this data has proven to be quite positive for the company because it highlights the long-term popularity of GTA Online, a mode that has made billions of dollars from digital spending; it was revealed that the online mode has made at least $5 billion in bookings, and possibly even more when those funds are recognized as net revenue.

The leaks, which generated tons of buzz including in-depth analyses and figures from all over the internet, have propelled Take-Two Interactive's shares. In the span of a day, Take-Two saw a high of $206.5 as of Tuesday, April 14, representing a +4.27% increase in share price over the lowest point of $198.04 from a day prior, Monday, April 13.

Following its release on PS5 earlier this month, Starfield is now gaining more sales velocity on the platform as denoted by updated sales positions.

Bethesda's latest RPG Starfield appears to be ramping up sales on PS5. The game faced steep competition on the PlayStation Store when it launched on April 7, not breaking into the top 10, likely because of all the heavily-discounted sports games offered on the PS Store Spring Sale. Now that the discounts are over, Starfield sales have pushed the game's positioning to much higher spots on the top 25 PS Store best-sellers.

Starfield is currently in the top 5 best-sellers in multiple countries across North America, Europe, and Japan, including the United States, where the game is currently in the #5 spot. According to our tracking, this is the first time that Starfield has broken into the top 5 best-sellers on the US PS Store. This is noteworthy because this particular region represents weighted sales compared to others.

Cyberpunk 2077 is one of the most graphically pleasing games out there, particularly when you crank all of the graphics settings to their max and use the game's ray tracing features with a supported GPU. However, modders have also discovered the game's engine is surprisingly tweakable, to the point where you can run the game on almost any piece of PC hardware. YouTuber Budget-Builds Official accomplished a challenge to get the game to run on an R7 370 with just 1GB of VRAM at a playable frame rate.

The challenge took more than just tweaking all the graphics settings to low; the YouTuber had to go into the game's .ini file and tweak graphics settings below what the low preset allows in-game to achieve a playable frame rate. To get a baseline, the YouTuber ran the game's benchmark out of the box with default graphics settings and found the game ran just shy of 30 FPS.

Tweaking the .ini files enabled the YouTuber to change a variety of settings, including the following: reducing FOV and effect quality to their absolute minimum, turning off global illumination, distant global illumination, and SSAO. Turning down screen space reflections almost entirely, turning off volumetric fog, distant volume fog, and distant fog. Modifying the shadow settings to reduce culling distance and quality, so that the shadows are virtually nonexistent. Turning off post processing, bloom, motion blur, chromatic aberration, film grain, lens flair, AA, and dynamic decals.

As soon as the remake of Assassin's Creed Black Flag titled "Resynced" was announced to be in the works, fans of the series were ecstatic. Black Flag is a fan-favorite in the beloved Assassin's Creed series, and is seen by many as the "good old days" of the franchise before it took a turn towards RPG mechanics. Recent rumors also suggest an official reveal could come as soon as mid-April, and a summer release is expected.

Now, we have some information coming our way that can tell us more about what we can expect from this remake. A game description scraped from the Indonesian Game Ratings System (IGRS) reveals that Black Flag Resynced will also feature "new characters and stories". This is part of the game's description that has been provided to the ratings platform.

Assassin's Creed Black Flag is a cult classic with a massive fanbase, and many of those fans have a strong attachment to the game's characters and narrative. Personalities like Edward Kenway, Captain Blackbeard, and Adewale have a connection with the fans that has hardly been replicated since. It will be interesting to see how Ubisoft adds new characters to the mix without making them feel out of place.

Ben Jordan is the Peter Parker face model for Insomniac Games' Spider-Man series, and recently, the actor shared an image on their personal Instagram account showing Jordan on a set with motion-capture equipment.

The image inherently suggests Jordan is doing some kind of motion-capture work, but Spider-Man fans quickly noticed the caption Jordan tagged, "IYKYK 🕷️," which was quickly taken as a hint toward Spider-Man. The post has since been removed from the account, but not before screenshots could be taken and shared across various social media platforms. So, if Jordan is working on a new Spider-Man-related project, what could it be?

There are a bunch of possibilities here. The first, and perhaps most hopeful for Spider-Man fans, is a new mainline Spider-Man game featuring Peter Parker, which would mark the third in the series. But there is also the possibility that this new filming is for Insomniac's Venom game, which is reportedly in development, or for a cameo in Marvel's upcoming Wolverine game. Perhaps it's filming for the new Miles Morales 2?

The recent Rockstar Games leaks may have revealed key details about the company's earnings performance, namely with Grand Theft Auto and its mega-popular online mode.

Editor's Note: GTA Online's net bookings data was reportedly found in the 2026 Rockstar Games hack and has not been confirmed by Rockstar or Take-Two Interactive. These numbers are not the same as the official documents released by Take-Two. It is possible that the information is not accurate, and therefore must remain speculation at this time.

Yesterday, hacking group ShinyHunters exposed data that was reportedly stolen from a Rockstar Games' third-party Anodot account, revealing potential new information about the company's sensitive financials. It appears that a swath of metrics data was released, including how much money Grand Theft Auto Online books on both a weekly and yearly basis (the mode books about $8.5 million per week, with more than half of sales made on PS5).

Rockstar Games recently suffered a security breach involving one of its third-party services, and the hacking group behind it has now released the stolen data online after Rockstar declined to pay the ransom.

While we cannot independently verify whether the numbers released by the hacking group are 100% legitimate, they do paint a very interesting picture of Rockstar's finances, particularly how much the developer earns from GTA Online. TweakTown's Derek Strickland has done a fantastic job accumulating all of the data into clean charts for viewing, and there we can see just how small a percentage GTA 5 players on PC spend on Shark Cards, which generate Rockstar $8.5 million per week, according to the leaked finances.

The data states GTA Online players on PC only account for 3% of the GTA Online platform breakdown by "weekly bookings", which directly correlates with the number of weekly players. Weekly active users on PC were down to 894,621, accounting for $264,273 in weekly bookings, compared to PlayStation 5 at 3,474,021 players and $4,476,346 in weekly bookings.

Sony Pictures has announced a new animated film at CinemaCon 2026, unveiling a feature-length film currently in development based on FromSoftware's Bloodborne.

Sony Pictures announced on April 13 that a new animated film based on FromSoftware's 2015 title Bloodborne is currently in the works and will also be produced by YouTuber Sean William McLoughlin, better known as Jacksepticeye. Notably, Jacksepticeye is a massive fan of FromSoftware games, particularly Bloodborne, and has taken to social media to state that he will be doing everything within his power "to make this the best Bloodborne adaptation possible." Adding, Bloodborne is "my favorite game ever made, but I know how truly passionate the fans of this game are and how much hunger they have for more of it."

For those who don't know what Bloodborne is, the title was released in 2015 and was produced by Hideo Miyazaki, the brain behind the Dark Souls series. Bloodborne is a cult classic in the Dark Souls-like universe of games, with many fans loving the ditching of shields for rampant offense that forced players to get good at the game. Furthermore, Bloodborne has a gothic horror atmosphere, making for a particularly interesting backdrop compared to Dark Souls titles.

After not meeting the demands of a ransom, hacking group ShinyHunters has released a treasure trove of data on Rockstar's intensely successful Grand Theft Auto 5, revealing just how much money the title rakes in for Rockstar on a weekly basis.

Assuming the numbers are true, Rockstar is averaging a staggering $8.5 million in net bookings per week from GTA Online, with PlayStation 5 being the platform providing the largest share of that pie at 53%, followed by PS4 with 11%, Xbox Series X at 22%, Xbox One at 11%, and PC at 3%. The newly released data was obtained by hacking group ShinyHunters, which breached a third-party service attached to Rockstar Games' cloud platform. The hacking group demanded $200,000 to not release the data by April 14. Rockstar confirmed the hack, downplayed its severity, and didn't accept the ransom.

One transaction amid the troves of data was an individual who spent $1 million on Shark Cards in a single transaction in GTA Online. Specifically, $1,030,926 tracked in 2020 was followed by $984,000, the second-largest transaction in 2017. The third comes in at $953,000. Funnily enough, almost all of the extremely large transactions were made on Christmas Day. Another interesting fact from the data was that Shark Cards made Rockstar $5 billion in 10 years.

A new report via VideoCardz, citing Intel's internal Nova Lake-S roadmaps as the source, has lifted the lid on specs and details for the company's upcoming next-gen Intel Core Ultra 400 Series desktop processors. According to the materials obtained, the new CPUs will be tile-based like Arrow Lake-S and will introduce lower-power E-cores called LPE-cores.

They'll also support the new LGA1954 socket but will retain the same cooler compatibility as the report, noting that the plan is for this socket to be forward-compatible with upcoming Intel CPU hardware, similar to how AMD's AM5 and AM4 platforms supported multiple generations of chips. The new Core Ultra 400 Series will also include dual-die processors, paving the way for higher core counts.

And with that, what makes this report interesting is that it offers what could become the entire lineup, from the new Core Ultra 3 to the new Core Ultra 9. This includes everything from a 6-core CPU to a 175W 52-core model, which may or may not be for the consumer market. That said, we'd love to see Intel release a Threadripper-style 52-core Core X CPU for enthusiasts.

This is one of those "get the salt ready" rumors, as even though it comes from a reputable source, it would be an absolute game-changer if true. According to a report over at SemiAccurate, NVIDIA has been in negotiations for over a year to "buy a large company" that will "reshape the PC landscape."

SemiAccurate notes that this story arrives after a year of research and is fairly light on details, as it doesn't mention or list any of the potential "large" companies NVIDIA is potentially negotiating to buy. However, in the "PC landscape," some of the biggest players in the consumer PC market are Lenovo, Dell, HP, ASUS, and Acer.

These are all companies that sell tens of millions of PC hardware every year and already have deep ties to NVIDIA, covering everything from GeForce RTX hardware for consumer-facing products to data center gear for the AI market. Again, this would be a game-changer if true, and, according to Bloomberg, this rumor alone has led to increases in Dell and HP share prices.
