Well, RDNA5 rumors already suggested that it would be a more compute heavy architecture, so they may have the hardware for something similar.

As for the implementation, maybe they'll do something akin to what Kepler described. Who knows.

Was to be expected, really

Now that's more like it!

And probably worth it for the wishlisters as the game so far has been quite interesting.

Well, AMD has been definitely doing research in that area and with much deeper implementation and data used than what DLSS5 uses, most likely in cooperation with Sony.

Daniel Owen has overview of some of this (starting at around 3:30):

Behold 22 Minutes of Demon’s Souls Remake, Running at 4K on PC via KyTyPS5
https://www.dsogaming.com/videotrailer-news/behold-22-minutes-of-demons-souls-remake-running-at-4k-on-pc-via-kytyps5/
YouTube’s ‘Unreal Gaming’ has shared two videos, showcasing Demon’s Souls Remake and Astro Bot running on what appears to be the latest version of KyTyPS5. These two are among the very few PS5 games that never came out on PC. So, let’s take a look at them.
To capture these videos, the YouTuber used an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080. What’s also interesting here is that he included a performance overlay, which provides us with some additional details.
As we can see, the CPU and GPU were underused in both games. This means the low performance is caused by optimization issues, not a CPU or GPU bottleneck. This is important to note as the above CPU and GPU may be able to run these PS5 games at 60 FPS once the emulator matures.
>> The article has the two videos.

Denuvo Admits Defeat, Files Lawsuit Against Cracker voices38
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/denuvo-admits-defeat-files-lawsuit-against-cracker-voices38/
Now, here is something that made me laugh. Irdeto/Denuvo has admitted defeat by filing a lawsuit against the cracker voices38. This is the first time I’ve seen Denuvo or Irdeto sue someone for cracking their games. To me, this is the definition of admitting defeat. Instead of improving its protection, Denuvo has resorted to suing the person who has been cracking it.
>> The weirdest part is that they don’t know who is behind the voices38 name.

Official Campaign Trailer for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4

Denuvo removed from Dead by Daylight and FINAL FANTASY TACTICS – The Ivalice Chronicles
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/denuvo-removed-from-dead-by-daylight-and-final-fantasy-tactics-the-ivalice-chronicles/
Behaviour Interactive and Square Enix have removed Denuvo from Dead by Daylight and FINAL FANTASY TACTICS – The Ivalice Chronicles.
Dead by Daylight was released on PC in 2016. And now, almost a decade later, its developer has decided to remove Denuvo. On the other hand, FINAL FANTASY TACTICS – The Ivalice Chronicles came out in September 2025. This means that it took Square Enix almost a year to remove it.

How to watch the PC Gaming Show Tokyo Direct 2026

Bad news for shaman tank hopefuls—World of Warcraft: Forever won't have Season of Discovery's zany class design just yet: 'But never say never, y'know'
https://www.pcgamer.com/games/world-of-warcraft/bad-news-for-shaman-tank-hopefuls-world-of-warcraft-forever-wont-have-season-of-discoverys-zany-class-design-just-yet-but-never-say-never-yknow/
World of Warcraft: Forever's an interesting pitch—instead of no changes, it's an all-changes version of vanilla WoW. Updated talent trees, new quests, essentially an envisioning of the OG game where, save for the new sky elves, all of the fresh additions are horizontal. New dungeons and raids all packaged within that original level 60 cap in good ol' Azeroth.
But given Blizzard just did Season of Discovery, at least one question was brewing in my mind—would the developer add some of the wilder class designs, like healing mages and shaman tanks, as optional skill trees or playstyles? Sadly not, says senior game designer Josh Greenfield in a recent GameSpot interview: "[Season of Discovery] was always meant to be ephemeral, and it allowed us to take some risks that we probably wouldn't really take in a 'forever' game. A lot of the changes, I think, in spirit—a lot of the lessons we learned—are carried over. But some of the more out there things that weren't originally in original WoW, we toned them back a little bit."

Microsoft hasn't marched Fable to the guillotine because it's 'vital to the DNA' of Xbox, says the game's director
https://www.pcgamer.com/games/rpg/microsoft-hasnt-marched-fable-to-the-guillotine-because-its-vital-to-the-dna-of-xbox-says-the-games-director/
Microsoft, at this point, drips gore from head to toe. The megacorp has made a hobby of shuttering studios and laying off thousands of devs, in attempt after attempt to right the listing ship of its games business. No luck yet, on that front.
You might wonder how Playground's upcoming Fable reboot, in the works for a decade now, has evaded its parent company's reign of terror. In a chat with The Guardian, Playground co-founder and Fable director Ralph Fulton offered up a pretty simple explanation: Fable's just that important.

Balatro developer LocalThunk turns up on Discord to talk about the 1.1 update and life after burnout: 'I truly am having the best time making the game now'

It's been a good while since we last heard about Balatro's big 1.1 update—a year, almost to the day, since developer LocalThunk delayed it into 2026. There's still no sign of it, but the community did catch sight of LocalThunk yesterday when he popped into the Balatro Discord to let everyone know that everything is going fine.

Marathon creative director shoots down rumored merge with Destiny 2: 'Please don't believe everything you read online'
https://www.pcgamer.com/games/fps/marathon-creative-director-shoots-down-rumored-merge-with-destiny-2-please-dont-believe-everything-you-read-online/
Have you heard the rumor that Bungie is looking to somehow merge Destiny and Marathon into a single series? I'll admit that I hadn't, until Marathon creative director Julia Nardin took to X to say flat-out that it's not true.

Get a good look at Control Resonant's otherworldly bosses in a PC Gaming Show exclusive extended interview
https://www.pcgamer.com/games/action/get-a-good-look-at-control-resonants-otherworldly-bosses-in-a-pc-gaming-show-exclusive-extended-interview/
Back in May, myself and some of the fantastic PC Gaming Show team went to Finland to interview the brilliant creative minds at Remedy. We learned a lot about Control Resonant, the upcoming ARPG sequel to 2019's Control. We showed you a snippet of those interviews in our June PC Gaming Show, but now, we've declassified the full video.

FF14's new roguelike mode's leaderboards were accidentally encouraging players to min-max all the fun out of it, so it'll be 'postponing the start of Crucible Rankings'

I've had a very good time with Final Fantasy 14's new Beastmaster, and I've very much enjoyed the Crucible of the Unbroken—but that doesn't mean there aren't problems. While the first few boards are a great time, problems start to pop up when you try to be competitive.
Those problems have grown so numerous, in fact, that Square Enix has postponed the first season of the Crucible of the Unbroken's ranking system, as posted on the game's official site: "Since the release of beastmaster, we've seen many players enjoying the new limited job and tackling its challenges.

Dishonored's Harvey Smith named his new studio Black Pony Immersive so people would stop asking him to work on other genres: 'Specialising on what you love is not a bad path'
https://www.pcgamer.com/games/sim/dishonoreds-harvey-smith-named-his-new-studio-black-pony-immersive-so-people-would-stop-asking-him-to-work-on-other-genres-specialising-on-what-you-love-is-not-a-bad-path/

Interesting, but that looks more like work done to improve their RT/PT performance rather than DLSS 5. Maybe something like their own Ray Reconstruction? Idk.

On another note, I've thought about that rumored AT2 chip that AMD will launch next year andI can't help but wonder if it's the APU for the PS6. After all, the one inside the PS5 is also 40CU like this one, with four of them disabled for better yields.

What do you all think it could be?

There seems to be a Ubisoft sale on Steam, and guess what's not included? Rayman Legends. It hasn't been discounted a single time since the useless remake was announced. I guess the only question at this point is whether they're going to keep selling the original or remove it entirely once the remake launches. Ubisoft sucks ass (as usual).

I think leaks put PS6's APU at 52-54CUs
