RT and FSR does require more memory throughput.
Parts of Amethyst is being bankrolled into FSR4, it's not going to be a completely "new" thing that we won't see on PC before the PS6 launches.

Universal compression isn't likely to be a game changer for fillrates as compression for that is already extremely competent having been constantly improved for a third of a century... But it could reduce bandwidth requirements for other datasets.

We also need to remember that the explosion of GPU compute since the R480 days is orders of magnitude greater than bandwidth.
The jump between R480 and Navi31 was 16Gflop to 61,000Gflop. (3,812x increase in compute)
But bandwidth was 38GB/s to 960GB/s. (25.25x increase in bandwidth)

Add on the new explosion to low-precision, high-throughput compute like FP4, FP8, INT4, INT8 and it looks even more lob-sided for compute... Especially when you start talking 1,000TOPS or more.

Which is why AMD and nVidia has invested a significant amount of time improving bandwidth through efficiency and architectural improvements. I.E. Infinity Cache, Draw Stream Binning Rasterization, Delta Colour Compression and more as memory bandwidth hasn't been able to keep up with compute that GPU's demand.

A 160-bit bus would be more appealing for a handheld or low-end device though, but I also guess that there is some potential cost-control happening in the console space in the face of constantly increasing prices for old antiquated hardware.

Either way, I definitely hope 320bit ends up being the target memory bus for the fixed home consoles, especially as RT and A.I. will be the front-and-center highlight of next-gen hardware.

Finally MGS4 is out of ps3 jail

Yeah, I can't see the ps6 being less than $800, I could see it being $1000 at this rate.  Frankly it feels like the best move is to wait on the ps6 launch till everything settles down.  

Let’s go with the Friday gaming news:

SALES/PLAYER COUNTS & DEALS

'5,000,000 Henrys' and they're all quite hungry: KCD2 has sold gangbusters since its launch last year
https://www.pcgamer.com/games/rpg/5-000-000-henrys-and-theyre-all-quite-hungry-kcd2-has-sold-gangbusters-since-its-launch-last-year/
A mere week after Warhorse celebrated Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's first birthday with some fun statistics, it's dropped another big one: KCD2 has sold 5 million copies since its release last year. I suspect it's probably more chuffed with this stat than the ones about players doing several million drunken murders (though that's worthy of pride too).
"Five million Henrys are now adventuring in Bohemia," wrote Warhorse on X, terrifyingly. "KCD2 has officially reached this massive milestone and it is all thanks to you. Our community is growing every single day and we couldn't be more excited to have you with us. Thank you for making this journey unforgettable!"
For comparison, KCD1 sold about 2 million copies in the first year of its release, and had sold 8 million by November 2024. So while KCD2 might not quite have outpaced its predecessor, at the rate it's going it won't be long until it has.

Arc Raiders had nearly 1 million concurrent players in January, and around 6 million 'weekly active users', claims Nexon—putting the extraction shooter on par with some of the biggest MMOs
https://www.pcgamer.com/games/third-person-shooter/arc-raiders-had-nearly-1-million-concurrent-players-in-january-and-around-6-million-weekly-active-users-claims-nexon-putting-the-extraction-shooter-on-par-with-some-of-the-biggest-mmos/
Arc Raiders has, by all accounts, done rather quite well for itself. Shooting past 12 million players worldwide back in January, a recent investor presentation reveals that 2026 got off to a bang for the hottest extraction shooter on the block (thanks, Eurogamer).
A slide relating to the game itself claims the following—firstly, that Arc Raiders hit a concurrent player peak of 960,000 players in January, and "approximately six million weekly active users sustained to date". The exact minutiae of what "sustained" means isn't clear, but that nigh-on 1 million isn't too far from reality.
On Steam alone, Arc Raiders hit an all-time peak of 481,966 players. Factor in consoles and other digital platforms, and you could certainly hit 1 million concurrents across the board.
Data from Newzoo also looks to more-or-less verify the count, claiming January peaks of daily active users of around 1.6 million on Steam, 1.5 million on PlayStation, and just under 1 million on Xbox.

The Humble Store has launched Date Night In Buy & Save, featuring 29 games and up to 80% discounts. The trick here is that you’ll get aditional discounts if you buy two (5%), three (10%) or four (15%) games. It will last 6 days: https://www.humblebundle.com/store/promo/date-night-in-buy-save/

The latest Steam beta lets you give Valve your frame rate data, focusing on SteamOS devices to 'learn about game compatibility'
https://www.pcgamer.com/hardware/the-latest-steam-beta-lets-you-give-valve-your-frame-rate-data-focusing-on-steamos-devices-to-learn-about-game-compatibility/
With the oncoming approach of multiple Valve devices and the wider adoption of SteamOS, Valve is looking to collect frame rate data in the hopes of improving compatibility.
As mentioned in the recent Steam client beta patch notes, it has "Added the option to provide anonymized frame rate data. When enabled, Steam will collect gameplay frame rate data, stored without connection to your Steam account but identified with the kind of hardware you are playing on."
Reportedly, the data gained will help Valve improve game compatibility and Steam, in return. Valve says, "This feature is currently in beta with a focus on devices running SteamOS."

This 8-bit Morrowind from someone with 'no experience with game making' will run on your actual Game Boy Color and is genuinely kind of great
https://www.pcgamer.com/games/the-elder-scrolls/this-8-bit-morrowind-from-someone-with-no-experience-with-game-making-will-run-on-your-actual-game-boy-color-and-is-genuinely-kind-of-great/
I have one job here at PC Gamer and it's this: reminding you all that I really like Morrowind quite a lot. They tell me that's "not a personality," in response to which I begin levitating.
Anyway, today's Morrowind news is this: someone's making a version for the Game Boy. Not "someone made a Game Boy-styled recreation," someone is actually going through the trouble of making a cut-down Morrowind you can run on a literal Nintendo Game Boy Color.
From Jordanly on Itch.io, The Elder Scrolls Travels: Morrowind is a free, bitesize Morrowind experience made in GB Studio. A confession: it was actually made some time ago, but it got a fresh update yesterday that brought it to my attention, and now I'm bringing it to yours.
"I've seen and played a few Gameboy demakes before and I thought it would be fun if there was a demake of Morrowind," writes Jordanly in a blog post accompanying the game's earliest iterations. "I have no experience with game making, but for some reason I decided to try."
The result is… kind of fantastic? Make no mistake—this isn't the entire Morrowind experience condensed down onto a GB cartridge, but you can pick a race (and one of three heads for each one) and a class, meander through Seyda Neen, even take a silt strider (which you pilot! Yourself!) to Vivec to check out Miun-Gei's wares (I'm reasonably certain Miun-Gei does not, as of the current patch, have wares).

At the latest State of Play, Sony revealed some new games. Since we haven’t received a press release for them, I’ve decided to share their trailers in one big story. I also included below the trailers for some other games. So, let’s dive in.
>> The article has 10 trailers, some of which have their own article at PCGamer.

Friday gaming news, part two:

Overwatch players are being completely normal about Jetpack Cat and all her hideous combos: 'I hate this cat with a passion'
https://www.pcgamer.com/games/fps/overwatch-players-are-being-completely-normal-about-jetpack-cat-and-all-her-hideous-combos-i-hate-this-cat-with-a-passion/
Jetpack Cat in Overwatch is the perfect example of 'sick when I do it' and 'a crime against humanity when someone else does it to me'. I'm of course talking about her Lifeline ability, which can airlift allies into enemy backlines, or her ultimate that divebombs some poor soul and then whisks them away, usually to certain death.

'Please let us focus on making our game in peace' developer says to whoever is behind a slew of fake positive reviews that it swears definitely isn't them
https://www.pcgamer.com/games/sim/please-let-us-focus-on-making-our-game-in-peace-developer-says-to-whoever-is-behind-a-slew-of-fake-positive-reviews-that-it-swears-definitely-isnt-them/
A developer has claimed some unknown bad faith actor is flooding its new game with positive Steam reviews—and it's definitely not the culprit, swear—after players began to notice droves of AI-generated accounts padding the numbers.
Starsand Island hasn't had the easiest week in the run up to its launch on February 11. Despite being a pretty good and fun farming sim—I had a great time with its demo in December, and Lauren was equally impressed when she took a deeper dive into the full early access build—the game has been mired in discourse. From plonking anti-cheat into what is (currently) a singleplayer game, to Kickstarter backers not receiving their keys, to launch-day early access DLC that costs half as much as the game itself.

One of the best-reviewed new games on Steam right now is about feeding raccoons and cryptids with the cosmic, Lynchian oven of your eerie woodland house
https://www.pcgamer.com/games/sim/one-of-the-best-reviewed-new-games-on-steam-right-now-is-about-feeding-raccoons-and-cryptids-with-the-cosmic-lynchian-oven-of-your-eerie-woodland-house/
Even in our era of accelerating electric woe, there's a timeless comfort to be found in the simple act of cooking for a friend. The fulfilment of providing that basic hospitality is what developer The Rat Zone is trying to capture in Creature Kitchen, a laid-back cooking sim that released on Steam last week: It's just you, the ingredients scattered around your inscrutable woodland home, the yawning cosmic void contained within your oven, and the unsated hungers of the night creatures answering the call of the culinary witching hour.

Team Ninja is working on a new Dead or Alive fighting game after half a decade in hibernation
https://www.pcgamer.com/games/fighting/team-ninja-is-working-on-a-new-dead-or-alive-fighting-game-after-half-a-decade-in-hibernation/
Team Ninja is developing a new Dead or Alive fighting game as the series celebrates its 30th anniversary this year, the studio announced today during a Sony State of Play broadcast.
>> Xxain has made a thread about it.

Krafton finally reveals The Bird That Drinks Tears, and he's a massive 7-foot-tall chicken warlord with dual swords who butchers his enemies without mercy or remorse
https://www.pcgamer.com/games/rpg/krafton-finally-reveals-the-bird-that-drinks-tears-and-hes-a-massive-7-foot-tall-chicken-warlord-with-dual-swords-who-butchers-his-enemies-without-mercy-or-remorse/
Buried in a dark corner of a 2021 Krafton financial report was a mention of something called Project Windless, an adaptation of a Korean fantasy novel series called The Bird That Drinks Tears. We've had a few glimpses of it since then, and there's a handful of concept art posted on developer Krafton Montreal's website, but today we got our first real look at it in the State of Play showcase, and hoo boy, this is something.

Rayman: 30th Anniversary Edition is out tomorrow, and features 5 versions of the 1995 classic, as well as a lost SNES prototype
https://www.pcgamer.com/games/action/rayman-30th-anniversary-edition-is-out-tomorrow-and-features-5-versions-of-the-1995-classic-as-well-as-a-lost-snes-prototype/
The first Rayman released in 1995, originally as a PlayStation exclusive, before hitting PC, Sega Saturn, and the Atari Jaguar. Despite being a 2D platformer at a time when 3D platformers were all the rage, it sold very well, especially in the UK and France. It was the first game Michel Ancel released for Ubisoft (then known as Ubi Soft), who's nowadays working on the terminally-in-development Beyond Good and Evil 2.
Rayman 30th Anniversary Edition has been leaked for a while but today it's official, and not only that, it's releasing on Steam tomorrow. It's a pretty lavish package: five versions of the original will feature, including PC, PlayStation, Atari Jaguar, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance versions. In addition to these, a never-released SNES prototype will also be included. It's a collaboration between Digital Eclipse and Ubisoft Montpellier.
>> That tomorrow is today.

Castlevania is finally back, and it's in exactly the right hands
https://www.pcgamer.com/games/action/castlevania-is-finally-back-and-its-in-exactly-the-right-hands/
Every once in awhile the world stops delivering us a nonstop cavalcade of horrors—and questionable videogame trailers—to simply serve up something obviously good and right. Today that happened with Castlevania: Belmont's Curse, a new 2D action platformer from Evil Empire and Motion Twin, developers of the excellent Dead Cells.
>> This time it’s Alex_The_Hedgehog who has made a thread about this.

Space Marine 2 dev Saber is making an 'Untitled John Wick Game' with Keanu Reeves reprising the role—but it's a PlayStation exclusive
https://www.pcgamer.com/games/action/space-marine-2-dev-saber-is-making-an-untitled-john-wick-game-with-keanu-reeves-reprising-the-role-but-its-a-playstation-exclusive/
At Sony's latest State of Play showcase, we got a first look at the second John Wick videogame, currently billed as "Untitled John Wick Game." The adaptation is in development at Saber Interactive (Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2) and looks set to be a PS5 exclusive—at least for six to 12 months, as these things usually go now.
>> And that’s all I’ll post about this games until it gets announced for PC.

The original God Of War trilogy is being remade, and yes, it'll almost certainly come to PC
https://www.pcgamer.com/games/action/the-original-god-of-war-trilogy-is-being-remade-and-yes-itll-almost-certainly-come-to-pc/
The original God Of War trilogy released exclusively on PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3 consoles and sold millions, cementing Kratos as a bad ass Sony mascot of sorts. But it was still surprising to learn today that the original "Greek saga" is getting the remake (not the remaster) treatment by Sony Santa Monica.
We learned as much from original Kratos voice actor TC Carson during today's PlayStation State of Play showcase. The project is in its early stages at the moment, so no gameplay was shown nor even a cinematic trailer, but it's definitely a thing that exists.
>> Like I wrote in the article above, no more articles about this until it gets announced for PC. Meanwhile, you can check BraLoD’s thread about it.

Marathon will run an open Server Slam that'll lead right into launch
https://www.pcgamer.com/games/fps/marathon-will-run-an-open-server-slam-thatll-lead-right-into-launch/
Ten months ago, I played early builds of Marathon and Arc Raiders on the same day and subsequently wrote "I'm honestly shocked, but Arc Raiders is a much more exciting extraction shooter than Marathon".
A lot has happened since: Bungie went dark on Marathon after its playtest got less than stellar reception, which eventually resulted in a 2026 delay. Embark held a Server Slam for Arc Raiders soon after, inadvertently eating Bungie's lunch and setting the stage for a huge launch.
Now, just weeks away from Marathon's delayed launch, Bungie wants another chance. Marathon will have its own Server Slam from February 26 to March 2. The playtest will run right up to the final days before launch on Thursday, March 5.

The first two Dino Crisis games are on Steam for the first time and half-price, but packaged with Enigma DRM
https://www.pcgamer.com/games/horror/the-first-two-dino-crisis-games-are-on-steam-for-the-first-time-and-half-price-but-packaged-with-enigma-drm/
"What if Resident Evil but crossed with Jurassic Park" was an extremely 1990s idea, but if you're up for a trip back in time to the days when the PS1 was hot shit and Generation X still had working knees, Capcom has just rereleased Dino Crisis and Dino Crisis 2 on Steam.
Both games were ported to PC in the early 2000s, and most recently rereleased on GOG in January of last year. In fact, the versions on Steam now list GOG.com as a co-developer, since they're almost the same. One difference: DRM. Dino Crisis and Dino Crisis 2 on Steam use the Enigma Protector DRM, which is why when I went to play the first one a window popped up telling me to "Chack Registry" before I could launch it. Yes, with the typo.

All Genshin Impact 6.4 livestream codes
https://www.pcgamer.com/games/rpg/genshin-impact-codes-6-4-livestream/
The Genshin Impact 6.4 livestream codes are here, or should that be the Luna V livestream—it should, since this is the fifth version since we've ventured into Nod-Krai, an autonomous zone in Snezhnaya. This new update will keep advancing the region's story, but also introduce new characters and events, as per usual.

Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol 1 got its final big update, if you want to bolt 61GB of 4K textures onto MGS3 and, thank God, finally switch the cancel and confirm buttons in MGS1
https://www.pcgamer.com/games/action/metal-gear-solid-master-collection-vol-1-got-its-final-big-update-if-you-want-to-bolt-61gb-of-4k-textures-onto-mgs3-and-thank-god-finally-switch-the-cancel-and-confirm-buttons-in-mgs1/
Sony's State of Play yesterday was, it seems, pretty well-received. We've got Metal Gear Solid 4 inbound on PC, God of War remakes (also, you have to believe, headed to our platform), and I can only assume everyone else is as euphoric about replaying Legacy of Kain: Defiance as I am.
But amid the hubbub came an easily-missed announcement that perked my ears up: the Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Volume 1 got its final big update, adding new high-resolution options to MGS1 and 3, keyboard settings (imagine!) for MGS1 and, well, nothing really for MGS2. Sorry, Raiden.

And here’s part number three:

And here are, once again, the Steam deals for the weekend (GOG has the sale that started yesterday):

+Steam

• GORN 2 will have a 30% discount until the 19th of February: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3391450/GORN_2/
• No Man's Sky is going to be 60% off until February 23: https://store.steampowered.com/app/275850/No_Mans_Sky/
• And now, the Sales/Events...
  • I don’t like doing this, again, but between the regular sales, Valentine’s Day and the New Lunar Year, this weekend there are 13 new sales, and that’s too many to post. So, please check them out here (you’ll even be able to get an early look at the upcoming Next Fest): https://store.steampowered.com/news/collection/sales/

And that’s it. I hope no psycho crosses paths with any of you (it’s Friday the 13th AND Carnival, after all) and that you’ll have a great and gaming weekend.

It would really put those "runs well on my system" comments in perspective if they come from people with high-end systems, or vice-versa.

It would definitely be interesting to see how many of such reviews are people pouring as much money as possible into their rigs, in which case it's no wonder every game runs well, or people with less impressive rigs that just aren't that sensitive to relatively minor performance issues. I'm been wondering this kinda often when I've seen such reviews.
