According to techpowerup and AMD's Frank Azor, no such decision has apparently been made. So it could still come to integrated graphics.

It would have been very surprising for me if not at least the Strix Halo and Ryzen AI 300/400 chips would have gotten this, even if maybe a bit later than the discrete GPUs.

I dislike the fact that he's still being so vague about it. It's crazy that he can't definitively confirm support for it either. Radeon really should their team in alignment. The fact that they are still struggle with communication and direction to this day is stupid af.

FSR 4.1 support is most important on their APUs. They are actively releasing new hardware with the RDNA3.5 architecture, the fact that this isn't defnitive is just another example incompetence for the Radeon brand. We know it works, people got it working RDNA2 APUs via Optiscaler. If it can run on Steam Deck the any other RDNA3 or 3.5 APU should be zero issue.

AMD’s Jack Huynh on RDNA 3.5 FSR 4.1 support: “I did not say it’s coming”

https://videocardz.com/newz/amds-jack-huynh-on-rdna-3-5-fsr-4-1-support-i-did-not-say-its-coming

"When asked whether this means FSR 4.1 is coming to RDNA 3.5, Huynh answered: “I did not say it’s coming.” He added that AMD has a “high-quality bar” and that the company wants the gaming experience to remain uncompromised."

I just can't with this company man. It is nuts how disorganized this company is. This is like a highschoolers logic of "well I technically didn't say it." Like there has to be some really fucked up workplace culture going on at Radeon for them to have such poor communication skills.

GAMING NEWS

Pokemon-like Cassette Beasts 2002 Leaked Online With Gameplay Trailer
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/cassette-beasts-2002-leaked-online-with-gameplay-trailer/
It appears that the sequel to Cassette Beasts, Cassette Beasts 2002, has been leaked. From what I have gathered, Raw Fury was planning to reveal this game during the PC Gaming Show on June 7th. However, its official gameplay trailer has been leaked online.

Crimson Desert Patch 1.10.0 Released & Fully Detailed
https://www.dsogaming.com/patches/crimson-desert-patch-1-10-0-released-fully-detailed/
Pearl Abyss has just released Title Update 1.10.0 for Crimson Desert and shared its full patch notes. So, let’s see what this new patch brings to the table.

DERELIKT Is a New Sci-Fi Horror FPS With Faithful PS1 Graphics, Inspired by Alien Resurrection, Doom 3, and System Shock 2
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/derelikt-is-a-new-sci-fi-horror-fps-with-faithful-ps1-graphics-inspired-by-alien-resurrection-doom-3-and-system-shock-2/
Hyperstrange has announced the new retro FPS from Visuwyg, DERELIKT. DERELIKT is a narrative FPS that is inspired by Alien Resurrection, Doom 3, and System Shock 2, with a dash of Lovecraftian cosmic horror. This FPS will come out on PC in 2026, and you can find below its first gameplay trailer.

Friday gaming news, part two:

I thought I was over 2.5D, but make it look like Marvel vs. Capcom plus Berserk and I'm back, baby
https://www.pcgamer.com/games/action/i-thought-i-was-over-2-5d-but-make-it-look-like-marvel-vs-capcom-plus-berserk-and-im-back-baby/
I've grown weary of 2.5D games in the past few years,⁠⁠ with most of my fatigue stemming from the "HD-2D" look Square Enix has embraced with the Octopath series and remakes of its old games. Seeing a pixel art guy ambling around a 3D village with the bloom cranked up just doesn't do it for me anymore.
Which is why seeing the upcoming hack 'n slash Dungeon Lurker in action felt fresh: Instead of dinky little Final Fantasy guys, this 3D world is populated with huge, lovingly-dithered comic book-style sprites with buttery-smooth animation. It's giving "arcade perfect" more than "we love the Super Nintendo," a level of craft I mostly associate with latter-day 2D fighting games like Marvel vs. Capcom 2.

Subnautica 2 promises to add 'one of the most requested' features, but sorry, it's not a knife you can stab fish with
https://www.pcgamer.com/games/survival-crafting/subnautica-2-promises-to-add-one-of-the-most-requested-features-but-sorry-its-not-a-knife-you-can-stab-fish-with/
Subnautica 2 launched last month with both huge player numbers and widespread acclaim, but this is just the start of its early access journey. With a couple years of development still to come, design lead Anthony Gallegos outlined what players can expect to see coming to the undersea survival game in the weeks and months ahead.
There's good news for fans of the original: a beloved feature is going to resurface soon in Subnautica 2, but there's also a bit of bad news for the crowd who have been clamoring for a way to kill aggressive sea creatures.
"Our next region, the home of the Collector Leviathan, will add a new chassis that brings back one of the most requested player experiences. So, get ready to get stompy," Gallegos said.

Elden Ring's promised update with new classes and armor will finally be ours in August⁠—but we still don't know if it's paid or free
https://www.pcgamer.com/games/action/elden-rings-promised-update-with-new-classes-and-armor-will-finally-be-ours-in-august-but-we-still-dont-know-if-its-paid-or-free/
Bandai Namco has revealed that the Switch 2 "Tarnished Edition" of Elden Ring will finally launch on August 28. But who cares about that⁠—the company's press release also confirmed that the Tarnished Edition's new goodies will also be coming to the PC version on the same day.

'What was unravelling is suddenly stabilizing': Destiny 2's last update is getting an absurd 71 pages of patch notes, but its story is closing with a shrug
https://www.pcgamer.com/games/fps/what-was-unravelling-is-suddenly-stabilizing-destiny-2s-last-update-is-getting-an-absurd-71-pages-of-patch-notes-but-its-story-is-closing-with-a-shrug/
I don't know what to say anymore, man. In the two weeks since announcing that Destiny 2 will soon be entering maintenance mode, Bungie has been gradually unveiling a massive slate of changes for its final Monument of Triumph update. Those additions and quality-of-life reworks have been so well-received that D2's daily peak player counts are now almost triple what they were immediately before its retirement date was declared.
Patrol zones are being revitalized. Loot tables are being stuffed with returning weapon favorites. Each class is getting new abilities to play with. If the notion that this is a game entering life support somehow didn't already seem patently absurd, Bungie confirmed in an X post yesterday that the patch notes for Destiny 2's last update will encompass almost six dozen pages.

Everyone in Rust is getting a new face
https://www.pcgamer.com/games/survival-crafting/everyone-in-rust-is-getting-a-new-face/
Rust's character customization options have always been a bit unusual in that… well, you don't get any. Your character's looks are generated by a random seed and you don't have any say over them. Whatever you get, you get, from face to race to gender to the size of your dong or boobs.
But your character in Rust is going to look different as of the newest update.
"We’ve overhauled the player model from the ground up," Facepunch Studios said today. "This includes improved meshes and materials, more realistic proportions on a new rig, expanded head and hair seeds and a much needed pass over almost everything player-related."

I regret to inform you that you almost certainly overlooked a sick as hell shrimp game on Steam last month
https://www.pcgamer.com/games/third-person-shooter/i-regret-to-inform-you-that-you-almost-certainly-overlooked-a-sick-as-hell-shrimp-game-on-steam-last-month/
Last month, a game called Shrimp Game: Krill Confirmed launched on Steam. It's a self-contained demo for the upcoming shrimp game, Shrimp Game, and as a game about shrimp it has all the features you'd expect: You can pilot one of 11 weaponized combat shrimp-forms, imbue them with a cocktail of violent elemental powers, and equip them with dozens of armaments like shotguns, sniper rifles, and explosive cannon rounds.

Persona 4 remake news feels all-but inevitable, but a little rating weirdness means I wonder about Golden content
https://www.pcgamer.com/games/rpg/persona-4-remake-news-feels-all-but-inevitable-but-a-little-rating-weirdness-means-i-wonder-about-golden-content/
Almost exactly a year ago, Persona 4's seemingly inevitable remake broke cover for the first time at an Xbox Games Showcase. Well, sort of. There wasn't much of it, you see. The trailer consisted mostly of the game's protagonist running around a barren Inaba Shopping District, with the odd panning shot of other—equally depopulated—locations from the game, giving the impression Atlus was in early stages on the project and had been forced to whip up something quick out of the materials it had for a reveal.
But perhaps it's due sooner than that first trailer would suggest. Fans have spotted that Persona 4 Revival now has an ESRB rating—which you can verify for yourself on the game's Xbox store page—suggesting that, well, there's enough of the game to rate, for one thing. Those of you hip to the calendar might also note that this rating has popped up very close to the June 7 Xbox Games Showcase; I'd bet all my Third Girl's Talc we're getting some P4R news there.
(...)
We'll just have to wait and see. One wrinkle, though: Persona 4 Revival's ESRB (and PEGI) rating is identical to Persona 4 Golden's, which makes sense. But, as spotted by The Gamer, P4R's Japanese CERO rating is actually lower than Golden's: CERO B rather than CERO C, meaning it's suitable for ages 12 and above. That's the same as the rating for the original, non-Golden PS2 Persona 4.

And now, the third and final part of the gaming news:

This reads like legalese, as in AMD coving their tracks in case they run into issues and can't bring it properly to those GPUs.

However, since we know fully well that it's perfectly doable, I really don't see the point if this...

The gaming news. As you may know, this weekend has been busy with announcements, and that shows with the amount of articles. Even DSOG, that usually has barely one page of news, has five.

So, here’s how the gaming news will be today: there will be at least four (still a WIP) posts, two for DSOG and two for PCGamer. In the first post of each you’ll find the NEW announed games, while the second one will have the rest of the articles.

And with that intro out of the way, let’s go with the Monday gaming news:

SALES/PLAYER COUNTS & DEALS

GOG has a couple of deals for us:

Steam has… well, I don’t know how many deals because I can’t tell apart the new ones from the old ones. So, until there’s a change, it will be only the sales/events:

SOFTWARE & DRIVERS

AMD Adrenalin 26.6.1 fixes RPCS3 shader issue on RDNA3 and RDNA4 GPUs
https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-adrenalin-26-6-1-fixes-rpcs3-shader-issue-on-rdna-3-and-rdna-4-gpus
AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.1 includes an unlisted fix for RPCS3, the PlayStation 3 emulator. According to the RPCS3 team, the driver resolves a shader compilation issue affecting Radeon GPUs based on RDNA 3 and RDNA 4 architectures.
The problem reportedly appeared with Adrenalin 26.3.1 and remained present until the new 26.6.1 release. AMD published the 26.3.1 driver on March 19, 2026, while 26.6.1 was posted on June 2, 2026.
>> The page of the new driver is this one.

Intel Arc WHQL driver adds support for Gothic 1 Remake and F1 25
https://videocardz.com/pixel/intel-arc-whql-driver-adds-support-for-gothic-1-remake-and-f1-25
The driver carries version number 32.0.101.8826. This is the same version number as the Non-WHQL driver released on May 29, but the new package is dated June 3 and now has WHQL status.
The new release notes add Intel Game On Driver support for “Gothic 1 Remake” and “F1 25: 2026 Season.” Intel lists this support for Arc B-series, Arc A-series and Core Ultra processors with built-in Arc GPUs.
>> This one is the page to get the now WHQL driver.

Godot devs are getting a helping hand from Microsoft to bring their games to Xbox on PC
https://www.pcgamer.com/hardware/godot-devs-are-getting-a-helping-hand-from-microsoft-to-bring-their-games-to-xbox-on-pc/
Although many developers turn to Unreal Engine or Unity to bring their gaming visions to life, open-source Godot is becoming increasingly popular, thanks to its lightweight structure and intuitive scripting language. Now Microsoft has taken a 'first step' to expanding its user base even further, by releasing a reference sample software package for creating Godot games for Xbox on PC.
(...)
Instead, it's essentially a demonstration of how to implement all of the necessary Xbox on PC requirements (such as Xbox services, PlayFab, and GameInput) in a Godot-based game.
"This sample shows you how to bring sign-in, gamepad controller support capabilities and more into your game with Godot. It includes insights, re-usable integration code, and is currently compatible with the April 2026 GDK out of the box," writes Microsoft in its dev blog post.

GOG apologizes for emailing Nazi runes to its followers
https://www.pcgamer.com/games/gog-apologizes-for-emailing-nazi-runes-to-its-followers/
GOG has apologized for a "Slavic adventure" newsletter sent out today that featured a number of very distinct Nazi runes in its subject line.
To be clear, this is not a misunderstanding, or images that look kind of alike, or a misinterpretation of an ambiguous situation: That's a Sonnenrad, a kolovrat, and the extremely unmistakable double Siegrune of the SS—quite possibly second only to the swastika as the most distinctive emblem of the Nazi regime. From my own email:
**pic**
This is not a small mistake. As PC Gamer's Kara Philips put it, "There's messing up, and then there's whatever this is." So, the obvious question: how the hell did this happen?
"We are sorry for today's newsletter," GOG wrote in an apology on X. "We made a series of mistakes: We created an unfortunate visual association by placing the runes incorrectly, we used the wrong logo for The End of the Sun, we did not check the display of the newsletter on mobile devices—which came out worse—and we didn't port the feedback from our German QA to other languages."

Indie devs mixed on Steam's latest redesign over visibility complaints
https://www.pcgamer.com/gaming-industry/indie-devs-mixed-on-steams-latest-redesign-over-visibility-complaints/
The latest Steam store redesign is here, and while the majority of you have "no strong feelings" about it so far according to our poll, it's a different story on social media—some indie developers are worried that the new "Popular Upcoming" page, which prioritizes games with more buzz than it did previously, will hurt indie visibility.

MODS, EMULATORS & FAN PROJECTS

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Just Got a First-Person Mod on PC
https://www.dsogaming.com/mods/marvels-spider-man-2-just-got-a-first-person-mod-on-pc/
Now here is something cool. Modder ‘Pcniado’ has just released a first-person mod for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. This mod will let you play the entire game via a first-person camera. So, if you’ve always wanted to experience the game in FP, you can download and try the mod.
By default, this first-person mod can feel disorienting and may even make some players feel sick. However, it includes several options that can make the experience more comfortable. For example, you can stop the camera from following Spider-Man’s head movements. You can also disable roll and pitch effects, and adjust a rotation-smoothing slider to make camera movement feel smoother.
At the end of the article, you can find two videos. Sadly, both of them have most of the head rotation settings enabled. As such, swinging and fighting enemies feel kind of bad. It’s a cool experiment for those who have mastered the game. But for the average Joe, this is a mod that will make the game a lot harder.
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 came out on PC in January 2025, and it was an OK PC port. While it had its issues, it was not a disaster. On high-end PC systems, the game could run great, even at native resolutions. However, there were numerous issues with low-end GPUs.
Anyway, those interested can download the mod from this link. Before getting it, I suggest watching the videos. As I said, though, this first-person mode may cause some to throw up. So, consider this your warning.
