• 00:00 Intro
• 00:10 Air 5400 case!
• 02:42 Frame 5000D
• 03:58 A 14i.5n touchscreen?
• 04:41 New Shift PSU with iCUE
• 05:25 Signing off

One of the first cases to draw Leo's attention at Corsair's private room was the Air 5400. You've heard of dual-chamber cases but this is a triple-chamber case, with ducted air intake to bring a major boost to GPU cooling. It also sports a dedicated 360mm radiator chamber, keeping the heat associated with CPU cooling out of the main chamber for improved thermals.

Next up is the new Frame 5000D which builds on the foundations of the FRAME 4000D. This is a high-airflow case with ample room for the most powerful graphics cards and custom liquid-cooling setups. The FRAME 5000D supports reverse connection motherboards and offers a wealth of customization options, thanks to its compatibility with the FRAME Modular Case System.

The Xeneon Edge is an interesting product. It is a small but wide 14-inch display intended to sit underneath your main monitor. It is a touchscreen, so it can be used for things like Elgato control, or to monitor system stats, or as a regular screen. It is on the expensive side though, with an expected price around $249. Nowadays, you can get a 27-inch QHD gaming monitor for around that kind of money.

Corsair does have something interesting on the power supply front too. The new RMx Shift PSU has extra ports on the side for iCUE Link, with a hub embedded in the PSU, removing the need to take up space with a dedicated hub.

On the cooling front, Corsair has announced the new RS-R ARGB 120mm PWM Reverse Fans Triple Pack. These are Corsair's daisy-chain fans, so they are good for creating a uniform look throughout the case and keeping visible cables to a minimum. At Computex, Corsair has also updated its line of NAUTILUS RS AIO coolers. Now these AIO CPU coolers include an LCD display on the block, in keeping with current industry trends.

For peripherals, Corsair announced the new MAKR 75, a barebones kit for enthusiasts looking to fully customise their keyboard. A new Corsair ONE a300 Metal Dark prebuilt PC is also on the way, packing dual 240mm radiators for cooling, along with a Ryzen 9000X3D CPU and an RTX 50 series graphics card.

Today at Computex, Leo spent some extra time at the Thermal Grizzly booth talking to R&D chief, Joe Robey. In this interview we learn about the manufacturing and creation of waterblocks straight from the source.

Joe moved over to Thermal Grizzly from EKWB and is now in charge of Thermal Grizzly's new rollout of liquid cooling gear. The DeltaMate line-up of liquid cooling gear spans multiple parts, but the initial rollout focuses on high-end RTX 5090 graphics cards and the latest Intel and AMD CPU sockets. The first block we see is for the Asus ROG RTX 5090 Astral, and Joe walks us through how the final product comes together.

Thermal Grizzly has adopted a multi-finish process for these blocks, with glass blasting for a satin finish across non-contact areas of the block, and more machining to smooth out the contact areas of the block and give them a shiny mirror finish. Everything is then nickel-plated. A clear window can be found to give you a view of the coolant running through the block. Thanks to the extremely high attention to detail, these blocks look particularly great with RGB lighting. Prospective buyers may want to consider a clear coolant, as the RGB lighting from the block will shine through and give you as many colour options as you could possibly want.

The whole process takes place at Thermal Grizzly's HQ in Germany. Between all of the rounds of machining and blasting, the blocks are carefully handled by operators wearing gloves to avoid leaving any marks, and are stored in a benzene bath. When it is time to get the blocks nickel-plated and ready for sale, they are vacuum sealed to avoid any contaminants. Overall, the process takes about a month from beginning to end.

KitGuru Says: Are you considering putting together your own custom liquid cooling loop this year?

Thermal Grizzly is well known for its thermal paste, but the company is expanding into more areas of the DIY PC niche. One of the new product lines on the way is the DeltaMate, a visually cohesive range of water-cooling components. The product line will include components compatible with the latest high-end graphics cards and processors, starting with select RTX 5090 graphics cards and AMD AM5 and Intel LGA 1851 CPU sockets. The first products in this line include the DeltaMate GPU Block – ROG Astral RTX 5090, the DeltaMate CPU Block – MPII AM5, and a series of DeltaMate Fittings and Extenders for 16mm soft and hard tubing.

Also debuting is the der8enchtable, a modular, user-friendly benchtable featuring an integrated active PCB and D-RGB lighting. The active PCB includes numerous features that significantly simplify and accelerate PC hardware testing. It is designed to support air and AIO cooling solutions and is ideal for hardware testing. This is less aimed at the general consumer and more towards content creators, extreme overclockers, modders and other professionals. Like the name implies, the table is designed in collaboration with der8auer, as well as ElmorLabs.

Another new prototype on display is the second generation WireView Pro, an improved version of the tool for measuring the power consumption of graphics cards. The new version has been improved to detect common issues associated with the 12VHPWR power connector. One of its key features is per-pin current measurement across the 12VHPWR connector, which is essential to monitor imbalanced loading and an integrated fan to ensure adequate airflow around all of the connectors in any situation.

KitGuru Says: Are you thinking about putting together a custom liquid cooling loop this year?

Today at Computex Leo checks in with Sharkoon to get a look at all of the latest peripherals and cases. The headline grabber? An actually affordable sit/stand motorised desk. 

Timestamps:

• 00:10 Keyboards and Mice
• 03:27 Sharkoon Desk
• 03:57 AK7 RGB Case
• 04:40 More Cases
• 05:24 Elite Shark CA400
• 06:25 AIO Coolers
• 07:16 PSU’S
• 07:44 MK7 Case

Sharkoon makes some of the most interesting mechanical keyboards available and plenty of them are on display here at Computex. That includes the Elite Shark KM300W, with the latest version being significantly lighter than the previous. This keyboard also uses Sharkoon's own switches, which can easily fit the custom keycaps of your choosing for those who like to really customise their keyboard.

On the mouse front, Sharkoon has the SGM25W, a new wireless mouse weighing just 60g. A small batch of a shiny-coat version is being made to test the market, but a matte version is also available. Leo was even more impressed with the SGM70W, which weighs about 40g and is “so light it feels like they forgot to put anything in the shell”.

And then we step back to Sharkoon's new desk. The frame and top are available separately, with the motorised legs and frame costing around €200 and the top piece costing around €100. Considering other gaming brands are charging north of £1000 for a setup like this, Sharkoon's offering strikes me as remarkably affordable.

On to cases, we have the new Sharkoon AK7 RGB, a follow-up to last year's AK6, with newly included mesh panels running around the bottom of the case. For someone looking for a quick and easy RGB setup, the AK7 RGB makes a lot of sense thanks to the four pre-installed ARGB fans. The AK7 RGB also supports BTF motherboards, so all of your motherboard power connectors can be hidden at the back of the case for a clean front view of your components.

The Elite Shark CA400 is another standout case here. We previously reviewed the CA300 case at around £170. The new CA400 has a number of changes and is significantly cheaper at around £120. The front panel has two large 160mm fans for air intake and smaller 120mm fans in the rear. The materials have been changed, so there is now very little aluminum, and the space on the right-side panel has increased so users can have an easier time fitting a cooler in there.

In the video Leo also goes over Sharkoon's new AIO coolers and PSUs, so there are a lot of options available for those looking to build a new PC, whether you need a case, cooling, power, a set of peripherals, or even a desk.

InWin is marking its 40th anniversary at Computex 2025 with a slew of new PC cases, including the new Special Edition ChronoMancy chassis, which is shaped to look like a trophy. 

The ChronoMancy is a rather unique PC chassis, conceived as a trophy to symbolise InWin's four decades of design. Its top panel, crafted from blue engineering-grade plastic, is etched with the history of InWin's special edition chassis, celebrating the company's past. Supported by five pillars representing global presence, the case stands over 1.1 metres tall, commanding attention. A curved aluminium cover gracefully rotates to automatically open, revealing a spacious interior capable of housing up to E-ATX motherboards and various high-end components. Adding to its captivating presence, the ChronoMancy features a synchronised light and music display, controlled by a specially designed wand-shaped controller.

Besides the Chronomancy, InWin also unveiled a diverse range of new PC chassis at Computex. Starting with the Wiew, this chassis blends elegance and performance with its panoramic glass views and enhanced ventilation for clear hardware visibility. Then, there's the Covalent super tower workstation, which stands as InWin's flagship super tower, engineered explicitly for EEB motherboards and multi-GPU systems. It's built to meet the rigorous demands of AI development, deep learning, and high-performance computing (HPC), offering extensive support for fans and liquid cooling radiators.

Moving on to the Shift open frame platform, which features an all-aluminium open frame architecture with adjustable cooling support, it is ideal for extreme overclocking and showcasing hardware. There's also the Tactix chassis, positioned for ultra-high-end gaming or workstation projects, featuring a dual-chamber design and support for two PSUs, perfect for complex GPU configurations.

The Prism white edition ATX chassis, echoing InWin's iconic Tou series, delivers a clean, transparent aesthetic with practical functionality for everyday builds and hardware showcasing. Lastly, we have the Dlite, a streamlined ATX chassis that inherits distinctive Dubili design elements, such as aluminium accents and a unified structure, optimising assembly and panel arrangement for improved usability and visual consistency.

KitGuru says: Interested in any of In Win's new PC cases? Which one looks the most visually appealing to you?

Corsair is at Computex 2025 to show a broad portfolio of new hardware. Here, we break down the new cases, advanced cooling systems, and a selection of peripherals, catering to builders and gamers of all levels.

Corsair is introducing new case designs to make your next build stand out. The Frame 5000D builds on the foundation of its predecessor (5000D), expanding in every dimension. This high-airflow chassis offers ample room for graphics cards and cooling configurations. Like the previous model, the Frame 5000D supports reverse connection motherboards and integrates with the Frame Modular Case System for extensive customisation.

For those who want to display their hardware in style, the Frame 4500X features a seamless, wraparound view with a single-piece curved glass screen that covers both the front and side panels. It comes bundled with reverse-rotor RGB fans, which draw cool air into the case while showcasing their RGB LEDs. As part of the Frame family, it supports the Modular Case System, allowing for extensive customisation, including replacing the motherboard tray or swapping the side fan mounting bracket. This case provides ample cooling, with capacity for up to ten 120mm fans and two 360mm radiators.

The last case to mention is the Air 5400, which introduces a triple-chamber architecture with a ducted air inlet designed for GPU cooling. This unique multi-zone structure dedicates a separate 360mm radiator chamber to the CPU, keeping its heat isolated from the main compartment for improved thermal performance throughout the system. The main chamber ensures excellent ventilation via airflow ducts that guide air to the hottest components while maintaining low noise levels. Included reverse-rotor RGB fans deliver powerful cooling with unobstructed lighting. The Air 5400 also supports reverse connection motherboards.

For enthusiasts seeking a powerful, tiny gaming machine, the new One a300 Metal Dark stands out. This latest addition to the compact PC lineup is specifically built to accommodate the all-new Nvidia RTX 50 Series GPUs. It features dual 240mm liquid-cooled radiators for enhanced performance and low noise. Powered by an AMD Ryzen 9000X3D Series CPU and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, this system is ideal for content creators, professionals, and gamers, all housed within an aluminium chassis.

Two new power supplies are also being showcased at the event. The first is the HXi SHIFT Series, which redefines PSUs with an integrated iCue Link System Hub, side-mounted Shift connectors, and Cybenetics Platinum efficiency, alongside a native 600W-capable 12V-2×6 cable (two on the 1500W model). Then there's the updated RMx Shift, offering similar features with its native 600W 12V-2×6 cable, side-mounted modular connections, and adjustable fan speed control.

Keeping components cool is vital, and Corsair's latest solutions are up to the task. The RS-R ARGB 120mm PWM Reverse Fans Triple Pack offers effective cooling and vibrant illumination. These fans feature quiet magnetic dome bearings and a silent Zero RPM mode with simple daisy-chained connections and control. For CPU cooling, the Nautilus RS AIO coolers have been enhanced with an integrated LCD, which can be configured to show temps, GIFs, or images. The LCD can be acquired separately as a replacement pump cap for existing owners.

While there is no denying that the Switch 2 represents a generational leap over 2017’s Nintendo Switch, one of the biggest disappointments with the upcoming successor is its lack of an OLED screen. According to insiders, Nintendo’s hardware partner Samsung is pushing for the company to greenlight a Switch 2 refresh featuring an OLED panel.

As reported by Bloomberg (paywalled), Samsung is currently gearing up to produce a ton of 8nm processors for the Switch 2, with 20 million units reportedly expected to be made and ready to ship by March of next year.

Interestingly, this goes beyond Nintendo’s current expectations, with the console maker recently stating that they plan to sell 15 million units between launch and March of 2026.

Far more interesting however was the revelation that a Switch 2 refresh could already be in the works to some degree, with Bloomberg claiming that “The Korean company has also pushed for OLED panels to be used when Nintendo refreshes the Switch 2 in future, another person said.”

As mentioned, while the Switch 2’s screen is infinitely more capable than the original 2017 Switch – featuring a higher resolution, better quality LCD panel with double the refresh rate; HDR support and more – its lack of an OLED panel when compared to Switch 1’s 2021 refresh does put a slightly hamper on the upcoming sequel system.

Given the fact that Samsung is known for its excellent OLED panels, hopefully Nintendo is considering such an upgrade for what seems to be an inevitable Switch 2 refresh. We will have to wait and see.

KitGuru says: What do you think of the Switch 2’s display? Are you disappointed by the lack of an OLED screen? Will you wait for this potential refresh before purchasing a new Switch? Let us know down below.

Since the launch of the PS5 generation, Naughty Dog has been in an interesting spot. With their previous live-service The Last of Us plans being ultimately cancelled, the studio has so far yet to release an original game this console generation. That said, following the official announcement of Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet late last year, Naughty Dog has now confirmed that a second unannounced project is also in the works.

In an interview with Naughty Dog director Neil Druckmann discussing the ongoing second season of HBO’s The Last of Us, the studio director offered a slight tease on what they are currently cooking up in the game dev kitchen beyond the previously-announced Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, saying:

“There's another game that's being worked on at Naughty Dog where I'm in more of a producer role and I get to mentor, watch this other team, and give feedback and be like the executive in the room. I enjoy all those roles, and the fact that I jump from one to the next it makes my job very exciting and always feeling fresh. I'm never bored.”

As expected, no further details were shared. That said, Druckmann himself has in the past claimed to have an idea for a potential Last of Us Part III – though it may not come to fruition. Beyond this, rumours have persisted for years that Sony is looking to bring back the Uncharted series – a franchise created by Naughty Dog.

Regardless of what this next project will be, it is interesting to know that Druckmann is not the one in charge. Previous leaks have claimed that this second mystery project is being headed by Shaun Escayg – known best for directing the highly-underrated Uncharted: The Lost Legacy.

The same leak also claimed that this game has been in development for 3 years, meaning it could arrive sooner than expected. Of course, while we now know that Naughty Dog are 100% working on a second unannounced title, the previous leaks should still be taken with a pinch of salt.

Regardless, it will be interesting to see what Naughty Dog is currently cooking up – and whether both titles will arrive before the inevitable launch of the PS6.

KitGuru says: What do you think of Druckmann’s statement? What do you think this mystery project could be? Would you rather Naughty Dog be working on a new Uncharted or TLOU3? Let us know down below.

Thermaltake always has a lot to show off at Computex and this year was no different. There are some insane sim rigs, crazy modded builds and a whole bunch of cases, coolers and fans. Leo has boots on the ground to guide us through it all. 

Timestamps:

• 00:00 Intro
• 00:10 Thermaltake’s INSANE sim rigs!
• 02:07 TT’s View cases
• 03:44 Meet the new AIOs
• 04:54 The MineCube 360!
• 05:37 Loads of fans
• 06:24 Thermaltake builds and mods!
• 08:54 Signing off

Few companies offer as many case colour options as Thermaltake, with a ton of shade options from ‘Lightyear Green' to ‘Butter Caramel', ‘Future Dusk' and even ‘Mint Strawberry'. Of course, if you do prefer a standard black or white colour-scheme, Thermaltake offers those as well. Some of the newest cases shown at Computex this year is a new array of View TG cases, which offer curved tempered glass panels for panoramic view of the internals. Thermaltake has also updated its TR series of compact cases, and a new screen accessory is now available, allowing users to modify their case with an interactive display on the side. The previous version of this accessory offered a much smaller screen, making it much less appealing. Leo approves of the new size.

Thermaltake has a whole range of third-generation TH-series AIO coolers here at Computex, but our eyes were quickly drawn to the MineCube 360. This cooler has a CPU block cover with four 3.95-inch displays surrounding it, complete with a magnetic quick-release function. It is certainly a sight to behold amongst a crowd of flat-display AIO coolers.

The Project Edge fans return at Computex, with displays mounted to the edges of the fans, which would make for an eye-popping setup when equipped with a 360mm radiator, and a case like the View TG.

If you are looking to put together a Racing Sim or a Flight Sim setup, then Thermaltake has you covered there as well. The G6 bundle delivers a complete sim racing setup with a direct-drive servo motor housed in an aluminum wheelbase, providing precise control and realistic force feedback. The bundle also includes a three-pedal set (accelerator, brake, and clutch) with adjustable mounting options for a customised and stable feel. You can add on a the GM5 3DOF Motion System to recreate real-world movements and sensations. For those who are more enthusiastic about flying rather than racing, Thermaltake has the GF500 Cockpit, which offers a lot of the same functionality, but is designed for flight sticks and thrusters, rather than wheels and pedals.

Throughout the booth, Thermaltake has also showcased a range of modded PC builds from various creators. This includes a massive build that doubles as a shrine to last year's video game, Black Myth Wukong.

KitGuru Says: What did you make of Thermaltake's showing at Computex this year? The MineCube 360 and Project Edge fans will certainly garner some attention.

Stellar Blade launched last year to a wave of success – receiving high praise across the board and selling a ton of copies to boot. With the PS5 exclusive set to arrive on PC next month, the team have already confirmed that a sequel is in works; currently planned to release some time in 2027.

As part of the company’s latest investor relations meeting, Stellar Blade creators SHIFT UP spoke on the ongoing success of their new IP, making note of its commercial and critical performance.

In discussing the future of the studio and its IPs, SHIFT UP revealed that beyond the impending ‘platform expansion’ to PC, Stellar Blade is set to receive a sequel as well.

Though little else was shared regarding their plans, the chart they released seems to indicate that they hope for the sequel to arrive by 2027 – a pretty fast turnaround for a game of its scale in today’s market.

Of course, this is just an early plan, with most video game projects encountering some level of setbacks throughout development.

Even so, while the team have previously spoken on the notion of a Stellar Blade sequel, this marks the first time that the company has officially committed to such a plan. Hopefully the expected success of the PC release helps to bolster development on the sequel further. We will have to wait and see.

KitGuru says: Are you excited for Stellar Blade to come to PC? Is 2027 too ambitious of a release target for a sequel? What would you like to see changed/added with Stellar Blade 2? Let us know down below.

Each month, Sony updates its PlayStation Plus Extra/Premium libraries with a number of new and returning titles. Unfortunately, at the same time the company also removes games from the service on a monthly basis. With May’s games now available to download and play, the console maker has announced half a dozen titles which are set to leave PS Plus Extra / Premium next month.

In going to the PlayStation Plus tab on your PS5, you’ll find a list of  titles under the ‘Last Chance to Play’ section. Leaving the service at some point in June are the following:

• Monster Hunter Rise
• After Us
• Kayak VR Mirage
• Rogue Legacy 2
• Inscryption
• Avicii invector

Easily the most high-profile game being removed is Monster Hunter Rise. While most fans of the franchise have likely moved on to the more recent Monster Hunter Wilds, Rise offers enough of its own unique spin on the series’ gameplay loop to make for a worthwhile playthrough.

That said, Monster Hunter titles typically require a solid amount of time and dedication in order to get the most out of – something which PS Plus Extra subscribers are unfortunately limited by.

Beyond this, other notable departees include the highly unique deck-building rogue-like Inscryption from Daniel Mullins of Pony Island fame. Of course, we would be remiss to not mention Rogue Legacy 2 – an excellent sequel to 2013’s rogue-like platformer which takes pretty much every aspect from the first game and builds upon it; making for a highly satisfying gameplay loop.

While no exact date has been given for their removal, the games above will likely leave PS Plus some time during mid-June – meaning you still have a bit of time to give some of these games a go.

KitGuru says: What do you think of next month’s departees? Are you disappointed to see MH: Rise being removed? What’s your favourite rogue-like platformer? Let us know down below.

AMD was saving quite a few announcements for Computex after all. At this year's event, the company revealed its latest gaming GPU, the Radeon RX 9060 XT, as well as the new Radeon AI PRO R9700 graphics card for professional workstations. Ryzen makes an appearance too, with AMD revealing the new Threadripper 9000 processors. 

Starting off with CPUs, the new Ryzen Threadripper 9000 series, codenamed ‘Shimada Peak', is launching in July. The new chips use the Zen 5 architecture, offering up to 96 cores and 192 threads.

In this table we break down the new Threadripper 9000 HEDT processors:

In this table we break down the specs for the Threadripper 9000 WX processors:

The Radeon RX 9060 XT is a new mid-range gaming graphics card packing 32 RDNA 4 Compute Units, 32 HW RT Accelerators and 64 HW AI Accelerators.

It consumes between 150W and 182W depending on the clock speed, speaking of, it can boost to over 3.1GHz. AMD has confirmed that both 8GB and 16GB versions of this graphics card will be available. Unfortunately, AMD did not give us pricing and availability info ahead of time, so check back later for an update on that.

The final graphics card introduced during today's keynote is the AMD Radeon AI PRO R9700. This card will be available starting in July and board partners like Sapphire, XFX, PowerColor, Gigabyte, ASRock, Asus and Yeston are lined up to release versions of it.

The new R9700 aims to provide 2X better AI performance compared to the previous generation Radeon PRO W7800. In one of the slides, we can see a massive performance improvement across a variety of large AI models. The card promises up to 96TFLOPS of peak half-precision performance, 32GB of GDDR6 memory, 128 AI Accelerators and a 300W TDP.

KitGuru Says: What do you think of AMD's new launches? Hopefully we'll learn a bit more about the launch plans for RX 9060 XT soon.

At Computex this year, G.Skill is once again hosting the OC World Cup as well as a modding competition. Leo gets a good look at some of the modded PCs in the video above, including one system built to look like a giant mech, with Trident Z5 RGB memory modules acting as part of the mech's armour, with a liquid-cooled CPU at the centre. Another modded system is created to look like a mini bar, while another modded build features a holographic display with a dancing anime avatar. G.Skill will announce results for its modding contest and OC World Cup placements later in the week.

G.Skill is always improving its memory offerings but so far in the DDR5 generation, we've only had a few different heatsink designs, falling into the Trident Z5, Royal and Neo categories. This year, the company is adding some more colour to the mix, with new green and orange memory modules. G.Skill is also working on its first 10,000MT/s DDR5 memory kit, setting a new bar for ultra-fast consumer memory.

CAMM2 memory is also something that G.Skill is working on, alongside other vendors across the industry. We expect CAMM2 memory to head to the consumer market in 2026 and beyond, so it will be a while yet until any of us can get our hands on one.

Discuss on our Facebook page, HERE.

MSI is showcasing two new OLED monitors at Computex – the MPG 271QR QD-OLED X50 and the MAG 272QP QD-OLED X50. Both monitors use Samsung's 3rd-generation QD-OLED panels, which have scored very well in reviews. Both are 27-inch QHD monitors, with refresh rates up to 500Hz, low 0.03ms response times and DisplayHDR True Black and VESA ClearMR 21000 certifications.

In the motherboard segment, MSI is showcasing the MEG X870E Godlike, along with new AMD ITX motherboards, the MPG X870I Edge TI WIFI and MPG B850I Edge TI WIFi. These new Mini-ITX boards feature silver-white designs, premium cooling, PCIe Gen 5, Wi-Fi 7 (320MHz), and 5G LAN. For Intel Core Ultra 200 chips, there's the MPG B860I Edge TI WIFI, which has the same silver-white look, an 8-phase power architecture, a Lightning Gen 5 PCIe slot, two M.2 interfaces, and Wi-Fi 7 (320MHz) support.

On the systems front, MSI is showing off three new systems. For starters, we have the updated Polar Tempest Edition MSI Claw, powered by an Intel Lunar Lake CPU. For desktops, we have the MEG Vision X AI system, which stands out thanks to its massive HMI touchscreen interface on the front panel.

MSI is set to launch a new solution for managing the RGB lighting of your MSI components, promising to simplify the process significantly. Dubbed MSI Portal X, this platform is entirely web-based, eliminating the need for any software installation, allowing users to control their RGB lighting effects directly from a web browser.

When logged into MSI Portal X, the platform instantly recognises all compatible MSI devices on your system via RGB Centre (available exclusively on Windows systems). Users can then customise RGB lighting effects for each device and per port, with adjustable brightness and three customisable speed levels. For added convenience, an ‘All Sync' button enables one-click synchronisation of lighting effects across all recognised devices, removing the need for separate modifications.

MSI highlights Portal X's quick and straightforward user interface, designed to allow users to easily adjust lighting effects separately or synchronise them all at once, streamlining the entire RGB management experience. With its imminent release, MSI PortalX aims to offer a versatile and seamless approach to managing RGB lighting for enthusiasts, directly from their browser.

At Computex this week, Leo checked in with Kingston to get a look at all of the new SSDs and memory modules hitting the market. One of the biggest surprises for us was the unveiling of the new Kingston Fury CAMM2 module, bringing memory to desktop PCs in a whole new format.

Timestamps:

• 00:10 Servers – the money room!
• 01:33 There’s a ROCKET
• 02:02 Consumer desktop SSDs and memory
• 03:09 The REALLY good stuff – CAMM2
• 04:08 Signing off

Upon entering the Kingston booth, we immediately get a look at a server rack, housing a stack of Kingston Server Premier DDR5 memory, and Kingston's Data Center-class SSDs.

Moving on to consumer-oriented tech, we have Kingston's new Fury Renegade G5 SSD. This is Kingston's latest PCIe 5.0 NVMe SSD, offering speeds of up to 14,800MB/s, putting it in the upper echelon of PCIe 5 SSDs in terms of speed. We reviewed this drive just recently, so you can find a whole bunch of benchmarks and performance metrics there.

Moving on to RAM, we have the Kingston Fury Beast DDR5 line-up, offering up to 6800MHz speeds and up to 128GB capacity. Kingston also has CUDIMM DDR5 memory on show, which Leo has used in Intel Arrow Lake-based systems before. These modules offer up to 8800MT/s speeds and utilise Infrared Sync technology to keep the RGB lighting uniform across all modules.

Finally, we get to the new Kingston Fury Beast CAMM2 memory module. This is a prototype based on the new CAMM2 standard, running on a prototype Aorus motherboard. These CAMM2 modules are capable of housing up to 128GB of memory. While we were anticipating CAMM2 memory to take over the laptop market, it seems that vendors are also working on desktop variations. Unfortunately, we don't know when CAMM2 devices will become available to the general public, but Leo reckons 2026 could be the year.

Xbox is currently in a bit of a state of limbo, with the Series X|S consoles continuing to sell fewer units by the day, all the while fans eagerly await the official announcement of Microsoft’s much-teased handheld. One insider has now shared a ton of details surrounding Xbox’s future plans – including another Xbox Game Pass revamp.

As part of their most recent video, known industry insider eXtas1s revealed what is claimed to be Microsoft’s current future plans for the Xbox ecosystem. While this includes quite drastic and sweeping changes such as full integration of Steam and the Epic Games Store, one of the more interesting titbits pertains to Xbox Game Pass.

According to eXtas1s (and as translated by ResetEra user P40L0), Game Pass is set to receive yet another major overhaul following their previous rebranding back in 2023.

Though not quite as transformative as the prior update (which saw the Xbox Live Gold program discontinued and replaced with Game Pass Core), this upcoming change is said to bring with it:

• A cloud-only tier
• An ad-supported tier

Of course, a shake-up of Game Pass will also be met with changes to its pricing, with eXtas1s claiming that subscriptions will once again go up – especially for the PC tier (which is currently by far the most consumer-friendly tier).

Despite their shift towards a more 3rd-party release strategy, it seems Game Pass is here to stay – albeit at a higher cost. We will have to wait and see exactly what Microsoft has planned for the service.

Discuss on our Facebook page HERE.

KitGuru says: What do you think of Microsoft’s plans? How much is too much to pay for a monthly subscription? What Game Pass tier do you use (if any)? Let us know down below.

Ever since the death of E3, Nintendo has mostly kept to itself when it comes to announcing games at showcases – instead focusing on their Nintendo Direct events. With the Switch 2 almost upon us however, it seems the console maker is trying to attract as many eyes as possible; confirming that they will be returning to Gamescom for the first time in a while.

Making the surprise announcement via Twitter, the official German Nintendo page shared the following (as translated by ResetEra user RandomlyRandom67): “Mark your calendar in red: Nintendo will be back at @gamescom in 2025. We look forward to welcoming you to Cologne from August 20 to 24!”

As mentioned, this marks the return of Nintendo to Gamescom following their absence last year. While no reason was given as to why they are coming back, it is quite clear that this has been setup as a result of the upcoming Switch 2.

Whether we will get actual announcements of new games, or simply another opportunity for hands on with the Switch 2 (despite it being out by that point) we will have to wait and see. That said, given the relatively light first-party console launch line-up, hopefully Nintendo has big announcement plans in the works.

For the past 5 years or so we’ve seen a wide range of different online video game showcases pop up – focusing on specific publishers, platforms and even sub-genres of games. Joining the fray is ‘Indie Quest’: “a brand-new digital showcase spotlighting the best and brightest in independently developed JRPGs.”

Releasing a teaser trailer for the upcoming event, JRPG-focused YouTuber The Gaming Shelf wrote: “Indie Quest is a brand-new digital showcase spotlighting the best and brightest in independently developed JRPGs. Curated by Taylor Hoyt of The Gaming Shelf, the premiere event debuts May 29 at 4PM PDT / 7PM EDT with over 40 exclusive game trailers, a must-see world premiere from a critically-acclaimed studio, and a unique twist.”

It’s worth noting that the term JRPG in this instance likely refers more to the typical style of classic Japanese RPGs – as opposed to RPGs developed in Japan itself.

Regardless, it is always nice to see new video game showcases pop up. With so many titles releasing every single day, having a curated collection of quality games is welcome indeed.

Wooting, known for making analogue and Hall-Effect keyboards popular, is back with an updated version of the 60HE. Building on that foundation, they've introduced the Wooting 60HE v2, incorporating years of feedback and technological advancements to push the original model to new heights. The new keyboard will be available in Q4 2025.

One upgrade in the 60HE V2 is the updated MCU, enabling the keyboard to poll at up to a blistering 8K Hz. With Tachyon Mode enabled (which turns off RGB), it achieves ‘real 8K polling' with precise analogue key scanning, reducing input latency to 0.125 ms. The keyboard comes pre-assembled with the new linear Lekker Tikken switches (MX stem), the latest addition to the Lekker family. These are the first closed-bottom switches with a full 4 mm actuation range, designed to provide a marbly sound profile. With a rated lifespan of 100M clicks, the Lekker Tikken switches have a 40cN start and 60cN end force.

The 60HE v2 features a full aluminium casing with an enhanced design, including a friction-fit mount and silicone standoffs to protect the PCB. Users can also customise the look with replaceable strap and no-strap components on each side and choose between a standard or split space bar layout.

To shape the keyboard's sound and feel, Wooting is including a PET film layer behind the switches for a marbly sound, a PC plate sandwiched in HD Poron layers to soften keystrokes and add low-frequency sound, and an FR4 switch plate for a thocky sound. The bottom case dampening is made with a removable silicone block that can be replaced with EPDM foam or left empty for different acoustic profiles.

The Borderlands franchise continues to be a sales powerhouse in the looter-shooter genre. According to Take-Two Interactive's latest financial report, the series has sold approximately 93 million copies since its inception in 2009. However, it's far from being its most successful series, with GTA, NBA 2K, and Red Dead Redemption already exceeding 100M since their inception.

Starting with Borderlands, Borderlands 2 remains the series' best-seller, having moved over 30 million units since its 2012 debut. Borderlands 3 is positioned as ‘2K's fastest-selling title', surpassing 22 million units sold since its 2019 release. Beyond the main sequels, spin-offs like Tiny Tina's Wonderlands and Telltale's Tales from the Borderlands have expanded the franchise's reach, even if at the same level as Borderlands 2 and 3.

With the next main instalment, Borderlands 4, just a few months away, the series' sales figure will surely increase. The game is expected to propel the franchise above the 100 million sales mark, putting it at the same level as the Red Dead Redemption series. However, the Red Dead Redemption series only has two entries, with Red Dead Redemption alone being able to sell over 74 million units.

The Grand Theft Auto series is still (and should maintain for the foreseeable future) Take-Two's best-selling franchise, with almost 450 million units sold, up from 440 million in the previous quarter. Grand Theft Auto V alone has sold over 215 million units, 5 million more than last quarter. As for the NBA 2K series, it has sold over 160 million units globally, an increase from over 155 million. Lastly, Sid Meier's Civilisation series has sold over 76 million units, up from over 73 million.

At Computex this week, Intel is showcasing two new graphics cards – the Intel Arc Pro B50 and Arc Pro B60, designed for professional workstations, rather than gaming PCs. Intel is also furthering its push in AI with the new Gaudi 3 accelerator and the new Intel AI Assistant Builder.

Starting off with new graphics cards, Intel has expanded its Arc Pro graphics card line-up with the new B50 and B60 GPUs. These are the latest GPUs based on Inte's Arc Battlemage architecture, as well as Intel Xe Matrix Extensions (XMX) AI cores and Ray Tracing units to accelerate intensive visual and AI workloads.

The GPUs are optimised for architecture, engineering, construction and inference workstations, offering stability and performance through a wide range of independent software vendor (ISV) certifications and optimized software. The Intel Arc Pro B-Series GPUs are compatible with consumer and pro drivers on Windows. On Linux, the GPUs support a containerized software stack to simplify AI deployments, and will be progressively upgraded with features and optimisations.

The Intel Arc Pro B60 GPU will be sampling from add-in board partners including ASRock, Gunnir, Lanner, Maxsun, Onix, Senao and Sparkle starting in June 2025. The Intel Arc Pro B50 GPU will be available from Intel-authorized resellers starting in July 2025.

Moving more into the topic of AI, Intel has launched the Gaudi 3 AI accelerator. These PCIe cards support scalable AI inferencing within existing data center environments. Customers can expect Gaudi 3 to provide a use when running AI models like Llama, and Maverick. These PCIe cards will be available starting in the second half of this year. The rack-scale version supports up to 64 accelerators per rack and offers up to 8.2TB of high-bandwidth memory. The racks are designed with liquid cooling in mind too for those seeking the highest performance possible.

The final thing on Intel's Computex list is the AI Assistant Builder. This lightweight, open source software framework is now available, allowing developers to create custom AI assistants that run locally. The public beta release is now available through GitHub, and systems from the likes of Acer and Asus will be demonstrating examples at Computex.

Computex 2025 is now underway and we are beginning the week with Nvidia's keynote. Nvidia CEO, Jensen Huang, is hosting once again and Leo has come away with the impression that Nvidia just doesn't care about gamers anymore.

While Nvidia did give a few gaming-related updates to members of the media prior to the event, Jensen's actual keynote was entirely focused on AI, outside of a quick mention of the RTX 5060 desktop graphics card and RTX 5060 for laptops, both of which are available starting today.

Nvidia is now described as an AI infrastructure company, pushing the acceleration and adoption of this technology. However, Nvidia is also exploring Quantum Computing, which could open up a whole new avenue for Nvidia's massive supercomputers.

The keynote closed out with talk of Nvidia's new headquarters being built in Taiwan, codenamed ‘Constellation'. In all, the keynote gives the impression that the future for Nvidia will clearly be AI focused, and gaming is becoming more of a footnote in the company's plans.

While the company may not have introduced a brand new UI for its latest Xbox Series X|S consoles, Microsoft has continued to update and refine the overall user experience on Xbox through consistent firmware updates. As part of the newest release, Xbox owners will soon be able to customise their homescreen to a much greater degree.

Making the announcement via a blog post, Xbox’s Eden Marie detailed the latest firmware update coming to those signed up for the Xbox Insider Program, writing: “Starting this week, Xbox Insiders will notice a fresh set of customization options rolling out to the recently played games and apps list on Home. This update is part of our ongoing effort to make Home more personal, flexible, and responsive to your feedback.”

With that, the full list of new features landing with this update include the following:

• You can now hide system apps from the recently played games and apps list on Home
• You can now pin up to three of your recently played games or apps directly to the recently played games and apps list
• You can now reduce the number of visible tiles in the recently played games and apps list

Currently available to ‘Alpha Skip-Ahead’ and regular ‘Alpha’ users, these changes were made in “direct response” to fan feedback, writing “We’ve heard from many of you that Home should feel more like your space. Whether it’s surfacing your favorite games, hiding what you don’t use, or simply making Home feel less crowded.”

Though far from the most transformative update, this latest firmware release should allow those who prefer a clean homescreen to finally have the catharsis which they have long wanted.

One of the biggest controversies surrounding the Nintendo Switch 2 currently is its use of a new Game-Key Card feature, which essentially gives you a physical cartridge which holds little more than a ‘game key’ to allow owners to then download the game to their system’s internal storage. While a large portion of the currently-announced 3rd party titles will be using these Game-Key Cards, Nintendo has no plans to utilise these cards for their own first-party titles.

In a statement by Nintendo UK to the Switch-focused publication NintendoLife, the console maker claimed that “We currently have no plans to use game-key cards for Nintendo-developed titles.”

Of course, though far from a permanent and definitive statement, it does put to rest some concerns which players had regarding Switch 2 games – especially as physical releases will now cost consumers extra compared to digital.

That said, it will be interesting to see how closely Nintendo sticks to this as currently the Switch 2 only offers a 64GB cartridge or the aforementioned Game-Key Card. What Nintendo will choose to do if/when one of their first party titles exceeds 64GB in size, we will have to wait and see.

At the very least it seems that for now, those who purchase any first-party Nintendo titles can rest assured that the cartridges themselves will be actual cartridges.

The new CH690 Digital from DeepCool is a large ATX case with glass on the front and side. Unexpectedly the CH690 Digital also has glass at the rear and is supplied without any case fans, which shows an emphasis on looks and styling rather than airflow. That might suggest the CH690 Digital is a sealed hotbox, but in practice it performs better than we expected.

Main features

• Panoramic Design
  The CH690 DIGITAL features a sleek semi-glass panel showcasing your build. The rear supports DIY upgrades with a mesh panel and fan bracket to enhance airflow.
• The support you need
• Supports up to 420mm radiators, 182mm air coolers, 450mm GPUs, and 180mm PSUs, offering exceptional flexibility for high-performance builds.
• Real-time Monitoring
  A built-in digital display provides real-time system data, with switchable modes for CPU, GPU, and PSU, ensuring optimal performance at a glance.
• Quality of Life Design
  Features magnetic dust filters, an adjustable GPU holder, 36.5mm of rear cable management space, and user-friendly I/O ports, making the case simple and practical to use.

Specification:

• Motherboard support: ATX, Micro-ATX, Mini-ITX with Rear Connector support.
• Power supply support: ATX.
• Expansion slots: 8.
• Included fans: None.
• Fan mounts: 3x 120mm/140mm roof, 3x 120/140mm side, 1x 120mm/140mm rear, 3x 120mm/140mm PSU shroud.
• Radiator mounts: 360mm/420mm roof, 240mm/280mm side, 360mm PSU shroud.
• 5.25-inch optical drive bays: None.
• Internal drive bays: 1x 3.5-inch, 2x 2.5-inch.
• Front I/O ports: 2x USB 3.0 Type-A, 1x USB 3.2 Type-C, audio.
• Dimensions: 516mm H x 481mm D x 240mm W.

Testing

To put this case through its cooling paces we will be using a test system consisting of an Intel Core Ultra 7 265K, Radeon RX 6950XT and an SSD. This system allows us to produce a substantial amount of heat and effectively test the DeepCool CH690 Digital‘s cooling capabilities.

Test System:

• Processor: Intel Core Ultra 7 265K
• CPU Cooler: Corsair H170i Elite Capellix
• Motherboard: Gigabyte Z890 Aorus Pro Ice
• Memory: 32GB G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo RGB DDR5-6000
• Graphics card: Sapphire Radeon RX 6950XT Nitro+ Pure 16GB
• Power supply: Seasonic Focus GX-1000 Gold
• SSD: Crucial T700 M.2 NVMe
• OS: Windows 11

Cooling Performance

Cooling Performance Overview

These results are some of the strangest we have seen as it doesn't much matter how many fans you install in the DeepCool CH690 Digital, but instead the main factor is how fast you run the fans. It is clear to us that the mesh pattern used by DeepCool is quite restrictive and the fans have to work hard to overcome that obstacle.

Closing Thoughts

The DeepCool CH690 Digital is one of a great many PC cases on the market that give you plenty of space to showcase your PC components with a good amount of tempered glass to allow you to make the most of the inevitable show of RGB lighting. The difference with the CH690 is that the glass is on the front and side – as expected – and also on the back, which is unusual. If you want to install a fan in the rear of this case you have to do a bit of panel swapping, as we show in our video.

Once we had built our test PC and installed an AIO cooler in the roof along with seven 120mm fans we found the lighting show to be very pleasant and we also enjoyed the digital display in the side of the case that reports data from the CPU and graphics card. The weird thing is that cooling is more dependant on fan speed than it is on the number of fans you install. This means you can either have a quiet but warm PC or a really loud PC that cools effectively, exactly as you will see in our video.

You can buy the DeepCool CH690 Digital for £99.99 inc VAT HERE.

Pros:

• Loads of options for cooling, up to 420mm in the roof.
• Digital display is included.
• The CH690 is so large it cools fairly well without any case fans.

Cons:

• There are very few cable grommets and cable management is basic.
• The square pattern holes in the steel panels seem rather restrictive.
• User guide is tiny.
• No fans are included.

Switching up their typical development cycle, NetherRealm Studios followed up 2019’s Mortal Kombat 11 not with a 3rd Injustice game, but instead another entry in the Mortal Kombat series: MK1. Reception towards the game was mild, with its post-launch support receiving particular criticism – ultimately ending its live-service plans prematurely. With MK1 now out of the way, it seems Netherrealm is finally returning to Injustice 3.

As reported by known Warner Bros. / Multiversus leaker ‘multiversusie’ the insider shared a rather humorous tease for what Netherrealm has planned next, taking to twitter to say:

“Multiversus shutting down is an injustice, then doing it all again is another injustice. Leaving me without any leaks is yet again another injustice. 3”

Though not outwardly stated, this is a clear reference to Injustice 3 seemingly being Netherrealm’s next project.

As mentioned, the studio has in the past released an Injustice game following each new Mortal Kombat title – with MK1 being the first time they’ve moved away from this structure.

Given the disappointing performance of Mortal Kombat 1 however, it seems either WB, or Netherrealm (or both) figured out that following up a Mortal Kombat with another MK title may not have been the best move.

It will be interesting to see how an Injustice 3 will be received – especially in a post-MK1 world.

Death Stranding has been a huge hit for Hideo Kojima, with the the first ‘strand type’ game surpassing 20 million players while spawning a sequel and an upcoming film adaptation. According to Kojima, the film is currently scheduled to arrive some time in 2027.

As part of an interview with French magazine Le Film Francais, Kojima spoke on a range of topics from the upcoming Death Stranding film to his other project Physint.

With regards to the former, a tentative release date was shared, with the publication stating (as translated by ResetEra user Red Kong XIX): “An adaptation of Death Stranding is in development at A24, with a release planned for 2027. Would you one day like to direct a film?” to which Kojima responded:

“Oh yes! I've had so many offers since I left Konami, with serious conditions to develop games in my independent studio. Besides Death Stranding 2, there's also Physint in development. That will take me another five or six years. But maybe after that, I could finally decide to take on a film. I grew up with cinema. Directing would be, in a way, a tribute to it. Also, I'm getting older, and I'd prefer to do it while I'm still young!”

Beyond confirmation of Death Stranding’s film release, it is also interesting to learn just how far along the director’s PlayStation exclusive ‘action espionage’ Physint is currently – which is to say, not that far along.

Perhaps most curiously is the omission of any mention of Kojima’s other in-development project, the Xbox aligned genre-breaking OD. Announced back in 2023, the experimental title appears to be further along in development when compared to Physint – making the lack of any updates curious to say the least.

Of course, in the meantime, fans can look forward to Death Stranding 2’s release, which is set to arrive in just over a month’s time.

Another slide also shows some of the first RTX 5060 laptops we'll be seeing, from OEMs like Acer, Alienware / Dell, Asus, Gigabyte, HP, Lenovo, MSI and Razer.

As part of Nvidia's list of gaming announcements for Computex 2025, we get a preview of DOOM: The Dark Age's upcoming Path Tracing update. The game already has ray-tracing effects, but Path Tracing will ensure rays interact with the entire scene, as you can see in the comparison images above.

The Path Tracing update for DOOM: The Dark Ages will be available in June.

With DOOM: The Dark Ages being out now with DLSS 4 support, it is time to look towards the coming months. Today, Nvidia has confirmed 10 more titles launching with or updating to DLSS 4 this year, including:

• Crimson Desert
• F1 25
• FBC: Firebreak
• InZoi
• Light of Motiram
• Mindseye
• Portal with RTX
• Roadcraft
• Splitgate 2
• Wuchang Fallen Feathers

Nvidia is also using this opportunity to remind us all that RTX Remix is now widely available. So far, over 150 RTX Remix mods have been released, and there are over 350 RTX Remix projects in development. One RTX Remix project getting updated soon is Portal RTX, which is being upgraded to include DLSS 4. The RTX Remix Mod Contest is also set to begin, offering modders an opportunity to win up to $50,000 worth of prizes.

MSI is showcasing a new line of AI-powered QD-OLED gaming monitors at Computex 2025. There are two new models: the MPG 271QR QD-OLED X50 and the MAG 272QP QD-OLED X50.

Leveraging Samsung Display's 3rd-generation QD-OLED technology, both monitors are 27-inch displays featuring WQHD (2560 x 1440) resolution, a 500Hz refresh rate, and a 0.03 ms GTG response time. These monitors meet the VESA ClearMR 21000 and DisplayHDR True Black 500 certifications, ensuring industry-leading motion clarity, high contrast, true blacks, and rich colour (around 99% DCI-P3). The MPG 271QR is highlighted as the “world's first” 27-inch 2K QD-OLED at 500Hz, while the MAG 272QP is billed as MSI's first 27-inch 2K QD-OLED esports gaming monitor.

Although both monitors look the same spec-wise, the MPG 271QR QD-OLED X50 has some unique AI features that the MAG 272QP QD-OLED X50 doesn't. These AI features include the AI Navigator, which provides a simplified menu for easily adjusting and optimising the monitors' AI settings in one location. Moreover, MSI's AI Care Sensor uses real-time human identification and dynamically modifies settings to protect the monitor and increase efficiency. This system, powered by an NPU-based IC and CMOS sensor, detects user presence; when no user is identified, it automatically dims the monitor or engages OLED Care features, extending the monitor's life while saving energy.

Both monitors are covered by the MSI OLED Care program, but while the MAG 272QP QD-OLED X50 is under version 2.0, the MPG 271QR QD-OLED X50 is covered by version 3.0, likely due to the OLED-protective AI features that it has. Pricing and availability aren't yet known for the MPG 271QR QD-OLED X50 (should be cheaper than the MAG 272QP), but these could be unveiled during Computex 2025. As for the MAG 272QP QD-OLED X50, this monitor is already available in China and costs about CNY 6000 (£626).

AMD Zen 5-based CPUs and APUs are still coming out, but details about their next generation of chips are already starting to surface. According to a recent report, potential configurations for AMD's Zen 6-based APUs, codenamed “Medusa Point”, have appeared.

The “Medusa Point 1”, as HXL refers to it, reportedly has a quite different core configuration. The Ryzen 5 and 7 chips will supposedly pack up to 10 CPU cores in a hybrid structure: four classic high-performance cores, four ‘dense' cores, and two low-power cores. Moreover, the leak suggests eight RDNA 3.5+ CUs for integrated graphics, a new RDNA graphics architecture built upon the RDNA 3.5 that we've already seen in action.

The leaks also include rumours about how AMD might scale up for higher-end Ryzen 9 APUs based on this architecture. Speculation suggests AMD could add more cores via an extra CCD, adding 12 classic cores to the base configuration for a total of up to 22 CPU cores, while the integrated graphics are expected to remain at 8 CUs.

This modular approach is not new to AMD, as seen in previous designs like the Strix Halo platform. Interestingly, the rumoured 8 CUs in Medusa Point are a considerable decrease compared to the 16 CUs of Strix Point, suggesting that Medusa Point might not be a direct successor to Strix Point but an entirely new series. On the other hand, we don't know the enhancements that RDNA 3.5+ brings, which might compensate for the reduced CU count.

KitGuru says: Based on the report's information, is Medusa Point a sure win or a possible flop?

Stellar Blade is heading to PC next month but the game has unfortunately found itself roped into a long-running controversy with Sony. With Stellar Blade now being listed on Steam, fans have quickly learned that the game is regionally blocked from being sold in over 170 countries. 

If you were following the Helldivers 2 launch in 2024, this will all sound very familiar. When Sony began enforcing PSN integration with its PC published games, Sony had to go back and remove the game from sale in over 170 countries, as PSN is not available in those territories. Since then, games like God of War, Horizon Zero Dawn and other PlayStation PC titles have also been blocked in those same countries. With PlayStation publishing Stellar Blade on PC, this game has also fallen subject to Sony's sales policy.

Fans were quick to denounce the game for this and developer, Shift Up, has confirmed it is in discussions with Sony about this. However, Arrowhead Studios did the same thing when this controversy hit Helldivers 2, and no changes came out of it.

Stellar Blade launches on PC on the 11th of June.

KitGuru Says: Unfortunately, Sony is unlikely to change its mind here, as it hasn't done so for any other game in the past year.
