Today, from Western Digital and Sony, comes the first officially licensed SSD for the PlayStation 5, the SN850 NVMe. Sporting various PlayStation logos on the device itself, this solid-state drive is meant to be specifically compatible with the PlayStation 5. These come in two variations, 1TB and 2TB respectively. These solid slate drives expand your console’s effective storage capacity, as it’s meant to, but again, with games as big as the ones above, how effective that’ll be will ultimately depend on the game sizes themselves....

Somewhat oddly, none of the information about Deviation Games Canada mentions a specific city, which may indicate that they’re going for a hybrid approach, with some devs working from home. That said, if I had to guess, I’d say the studio will be headquartered in the Montreal or Toronto area. The Canadian talent pool is deep, and there’s some movement in the labor market given disruptions at Ubisoft, so like seemingly everyone else, it seems like Deviation is looking to snap up some free agents....

Not so fast, says Sony. In recent days people have discovered they can’t redeem their pre-paid cards to extend their subscriptions, and Sony has confirmed this is intentional… Now, don’t throw those pre-paid cards in the trash just yet. Sony says you’ll still be able to redeem them after the new PS Plus launches, although there will be a complex conversion scheme based on the value of the original cards and the pricing on the new PS Plus tiers....

As part of its efforts to develop a sustained American presence on the lunar surface, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is planning to secure additional lunar landing missions from Space Exploration Technologies Corporation (SpaceX). SpaceX won NASA’s moon landing contract for its Starship next-generation launch vehicle system last year, and at the time the space agency had only partly exercised its multi-billion dollar contract with the aerospace firm....

1C Entertainment management board member Tomasz Nieszporski stated: Tencent Games Global Chief Technology Officer Li Shen added: 1C Entertainment may not be one of the big household companies in the gaming industry, but it’s old enough to have released several noteworthy franchises such as King’s Bounty, Men of War, and IL-2 Sturmovik. 1C Entertainment also owns QLOC, a co-development, testing, and localization company known for its work on hits such as Devil May Cry, Dark Souls Remastered, Mortal Kombat, Cyberpunk 2077, and Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice....

We’ve covered the game quite extensively across the past months, including gameplay, interviews, and more. As for today, though, the game’s official launch trailer has released, which showcases some of the game’s visceral and gory gameplay in full detail. You can watch the trailer below. The game’s dark and violent visuals paint a picture of absolute isolation and urgency, as players will need to fight off the creatures that haunt Black Iron in order to simply stay alive....

In an interview with IGN, Glen was asked about topics such as its relations in nature to the Dead Space series, instance, among other things. You can watch the full interview below (credit goes to IGN for the footage). Initially asked about how similar the game is to Dead Space, Glen replied: Something interesting that was brought up midway through the interview was how The Callisto Protocol was formerly tied to PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG for short)....

Still, as late as I may be, I’m always up for joining a cult - mainly when it results in the brutal murder of random people in their early 20s. Imagine my disappointment when I didn’t see any brutal murders of anybody in their early 20s as I got hands-on with The Chant. First, let’s talk about the setting. Jessica Briars is the protagonist. She’s a bit fed up with life, recent events are dragging her down, and she needs to get away from it all....

In what might well be one of the most bizarre and comic interactions on Twitter, Binance’s CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ) has refused an endorsement from Jim Cramer, fearing the absolutely karmic “inverse Cramer” curse. Our regular readers are well aware of Jim Cramer’s tendency to reflect the consensus view in the market – one that does not usually allow for market-beating returns. So profound has been the CNBC anchor’s tendency to parrot the “known-known” view that a dedicated ETF is now in the works to flip Cramer’s recommendations, allowing investors the opportunity to generate some much-needed alpha....

Want a Lot of Storage on Your Google Pixel 7? Google Does Not Want You To According to Roland Quandt, the storage options might be limited at best for the Pixel 7 series, disappointing most people who are normally in the mood to buy something with a higher storage option. Based on the information we have received from Quandt, the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro will be available in two storage variants; you get to choose 128GB or 256GB....

As highlighted in a new video shared on YouTube by Dravic, footage of the Xbox Series X and S 60 FPS Performance Mode shared by CD Projekt Red last week shows how hair physics in the upcoming update haven’t been fixed. These issues don’t just involve Geralt’s and other NPC’s hair, but also fur, clothing, medallions, and more. Learn why The Witcher 3 next-gen update doesn’t deliver all its promises of smooth 60 frames per second gameplay....

It seems that Ryan Cohen’s spectacular pump-and-dump scheme vis-à-vis Bed Bath & Beyond (BBBY) might not be the end of the meme stock’s spotlight moment, as evidenced by a steep rebound in the interest of retail investors around the stock, spurred by the ability of the household items retailer to secure a vital financial lifeline. Earlier this year, GameStop’s Chairman Ryan Cohen had unleashed a major bullish impulse in Bed Bath & Beyond shares by disclosing a significant stake in the company via RC Ventures – a fund that Cohen manages....

Some days ago, CD Projekt Red announced the delay of the highly-anticipated next-gen update for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. As expected, this announcement had some believing that development on the update isn’t going as planned. Luckily for the fans, as confirmed by the developer, this isn’t the case at all. “I’ve been looking at the headlines that popped up here and over the Internet and I’ve seen one that really drew my attention, which is The Witcher 3 next-gen delayed indefinitely, which sounds like the game is in some sort of development hell”, VP of Business Development and Board Member Michał Nowakowski said during an earnings call....

The Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company’s (TSMC) decision to set up a manufacturing plant in the U.S. continues to generate shockwaves in Taiwan. TSMC held a groundbreaking ceremony for its plant earlier this month, with high profile guests, including President Biden, also in attendance. The event was marked though by the company’s founder Dr. Morris Chang’s controversial statement that globalization is dead, and it was followed by concerns raised by the opposition party in Taiwan that the company is moving away to the U....

Twitter (NYSE:TWTR), the social media giant at the heart of a takeover bid from Elon Musk, just fired a major salvo across the proverbial bow of the CEO of Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) by choosing to institute the poison pill. As per the company’s press statement that was released moments ago, Twitter’s board has unanimously adopted a “limited duration shareholder rights plan”: While details are scarce at the moment, the so-called poison pill will presumably be activated if any entity acquires a stake of 15 percent or more in Twitter without the board’s approval....

That was a big negotiation with Tencent. Our first intention is to own our destiny. We remain totally independent and we can act with any outside company if we want to. We can do whatever we want. Following the first rumors that leaked on the Web in early August, the two companies confirmed last week that Tencent make a $300 million investment in Guillemot Bros., the holding company that owns the largest stake in Ubisoft....
