F2P JRPG Persona5: The Phantom X Tops Franchise Charts Hours After Lau
[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]launched earlier this week as a free-to-play JRPG spin-off of Persona5 Royal, and within the first 48 hours of the game's launch it has already become the second most popular game in the Persona franchise, at least if the Steam numbers are anything to go by. According to [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...], which tracks concurrent player counts, Persona5: The Phantom X has already reached a peak concurrent player count of 41,622 players, which is over 6,000 higher than Persona 5 Royal, which launched in 2022. Persona5: The Phantom X also launched simultaneously on the Google Play Store, where it has already surpassed 500,000 downloads, and on the Apple App Store.
At the time of writing, the only Persona game that still maintains a higher all-time peak concurrent player count than Persona5: The Phantom X is Persona 3 Reload, which launched on Steam in January 2024 and almost immediately peaked at 45,002 concurrent players. Part of the reason for the success of The Phantom X is likely the free-to-play nature, and despite the solid player count, not everything about the launch is positive, with the current Steam review rating sitting at a rather mediocre 71% positive. Most of the negative reviews on the Steam Store page point to aggressive monetization and gacha mechanics, which are often perceived as predatory, although there are many reviews that still praise the game for not taking the gacha side too far and delivering a game that sticks to the JRPG roots of the Persona games. Persona5: The Phantom X features heavily stylized visuals typical of a Persona game, and turn-based spectacle combat, and the story follows a high school student who goes on nightly adventures to thwart villains and bring back order to the world.[Only registered and activated users can see links.

The Expanse: Osiris Reborn Will Trade Epic Space Battles for In-Depth
The Expanse: Osiris Reborn is an upcoming squad-based RPG from Owlcat Games that promises to adapt the popular sci-fi story of The Expanse. The story-driven, party-based RPG will, however, skip out on The Expanse's iconic space battles. Instead, The Expanse: Osiris Reborn will focus more on interpersonal relationships and the effects of the story on the Belters and the inhabitants of the inner planets. Players will base their operations out of a ship, and the studio is leaning into the property's hard sci-fi origins, using physics and environmental cues to make space feel like "a very dangerous and unwelcoming place to be," but they won't be able to use that same ship to wage war in the vastness of space.
In a recent interview with [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...], the game's creative director, Alexander Mishulin, explains that, while Osiris Reborn won't revisit the story of Holden and the crew from The Expanse, the game will explore the repercussions of the events of season one and two of the TV series. Players will, however, run into characters from the Rocinante crew in their adventures, and they will seemingly experience the horrors of the Protomolecule first-hand. The game will allegedly take inspiration from a number of games, including Mass Effect, Dark Souls, and Baldur's Gate 3. Specifically, the game studio says that [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] will offer a lot of flexibility when it comes to the type of character you want to build and how you want to develop them throughout the story. Additionally, NPCs and companions will each have their own personality and develop on their own time, even if they're not part of the player's party.[Only registered and activated users can see links.

Ark 2 Gets Disappointing Update as Dinosaur Survival Game Optimistical
Ark 2, the long-awaited sequel to Ark: Survival Evolved, was originally slated to launch as early as 2023, but it was later delayed to late 2024, and shortly after that deadline was missed, the Steam release date was simply changed to "to be announced." Now, however, the studio behind the Ark franchise, Studio Wildcard, says that it is optimistic for a 2027 launch. In an interview with [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...], co-founders of the studio, Jesse Rapczak and Jeremy Stieglitz, said that the studio put Ark 2 on hold partially to make Ark Survival Ascended, which has helped the team further come to grips with Unreal Engine 5 and test out the new capabilities and technologies on offer from the new game engine.
"A small portion of our team continues to refine the mechanics of [Ark 2's] combat... It's very difficult to do soulslike combat in a multiplayer PvP context," says Stieglitz, adding that at least 18 months of focussed development work will be required to turn the existing content for Ark 2 into a playable early access game. Ark Survival Ascended has since launched in the meantime, and in the interview with PCGamesN, the game studio's executives say that it is still looking for the right time to pivot its development efforts from Ascended to Ark 2 without compromising the revenue stream generated by Ark Survival Ascended. Wildcard and [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] have made a number of ambitious promises when it comes to Ark 2, including a revamped traversal system, soulslike PVP combat, and a switch to third-person gameplay. The new game will also include NPC enemies—other than the wild beasts usually encountered in current Ark games—further complicating the development of the new game.[Only registered and activated users can see links.

Vulkan API Unifies Image Layouts, Waving Goodbye to Sync Issues
In the Vulkan API, image layouts have been granularly controlled by developers, meaning that whenever you use an image in a new way, such as targeting it for transfer, feeding it into a shader, or presenting it on screen, you must explicitly transition it between different layouts. Even one barrier with the wrong layout, access mask, pipeline stage, or ownership transfer can cause race conditions, visual corruption, or GPU hangs. Managing numerous layouts and barriers only adds boilerplate and increases the risk of subtle platform-specific bugs, making it more challenging to port games to multiple platforms. Today, this is no longer the case. The Khronos Group, developers behind the Vulkan API, unveiled the VK_KHR_unified_image_layouts extension, which simplifies synchronization by promoting VK_IMAGE_LAYOUT_GENERAL as the default state for nearly all image operations.
When Vulkan 1.0 launched over a decade ago, its explicit synchronization model required engineers to specify distinct layouts. This included TRANSFER_DST_OPTIMAL, SHADER_READ_ONLY_OPTIMAL, and COLOR_ATTACHMENT_OPTIMAL for each access pattern. This granularity once maximized performance on early GPU hardware but introduced a steep learning curve and frequent bugs. With modern GPUs capable of handling many transitions internally, developers no longer need to juggle multiple layout states. Under the new model, only two scenarios still demand special treatment: initializing new images with VK_IMAGE_LAYOUT_UNDEFINED and sharing or presenting images to external queues or display systems. Now, the new extension collapses the remaining layout types into one versatile state, reduces boilerplate code, lowers the risk of synchronization errors, and minimizes unnecessary pipeline stalls, allowing the GPU to operate more efficiently. Driver support for VK_KHR_unified_image_layouts is already available in the latest GPU releases, with validation-layer integration set for the July 2025 Vulkan SDK.[Only registered and activated users can see links.

DDR4 Module Prices Overtake DDR5 for the First Time
Usually for newer technology rollout, prices are significantly higher compared to the last-gen. However, with DRAM, the story is the opposite. For the first time since the launch of DDR5, buyers are paying more for DDR4 memory modules than for the newer standard. A combination of tariff uncertainty and rapidly depleting DDR4 inventories is the main driver behind this. TrendForce data show that some high-demand DDR4 kits rose by as much as 40% in just one week, while DRAMeXchange reports that the average spot price for a 16 Gb (1Gx16) DDR4 module at 3,200 MT/s from Samsung and SK Hynix climbed to $12.50, with peak offers hitting $24. By contrast, dual-8 Gb DDR5 kits running between 4,800 MT/s and 5,600 MT/s remain near $6 on average, rarely exceeding $9. This unexpected surge follows [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] that it will wind down DDR4 production by year's end, accelerating the depletion of existing stocks over the next six to nine months.
Samsung also announced plans earlier this spring to retire its DDR4 lines and shift its focus to DDR5 and high-bandwidth memory, while China's CXMT confirmed it will scale back its DDR4 output despite recently reaching peak production levels. Taiwan's Nanya Technology is among the biggest beneficiaries of this topsy-turvy market. In the first quarter, the company held a DDR4 inventory valued at approximately NT$37.6 billion ($1.2 billion). Nanya even paused public price quoting to manage sales at these elevated levels. Many in the tech industry worry that renewed US-China trade tensions could spark another wave of panic buying. If additional tariffs target China's remaining DDR4 supply, module costs could climb to more than three times the price of DDR5, extending this rare pricing inversion well into the next quarter.[Only registered and activated users can see links.

Loongson Unveils 64-Core LS3C6000 Server CPUs to Rival Intel "Ice Lake
China's Loongson has introduced its latest server processor family, the LS3C6000 series, its most powerful domestically designed processor. These new chips use Loongson's fourth-generation microarchitecture and pack 16 64-bit superscalar LA664 cores on each die. With simultaneous multi-threading, the single-die "S" model handles 32 logical threads, while the dual-die "D" and quad-die "Q" versions support 64 and 128 threads, respectively. Operating between 2.0 GHz and 2.2 GHz, the family delivers peak double-precision FP64 performance of 844.8 GigaFLOPS for S units, 1.612 TeraFLOPS for D units, and 3.072 TeraFLOPS for Q units. Each core benefits from 64 KB of dedicated instruction cache and 64 KB of data cache, plus a 256 KB private L2 cache, while a shared 32 MB L3 cache serves all cores on a die.
Memory bandwidth is served by four 72-bit DDR4-3200 channels in the S version and eight channels in larger SKUs, and connectivity comes via 64 PCI Express lanes for S models and 128 lanes for D and Q models, alongside SPI, UART, I²C and GPIO ports. Security is addressed through an integrated SE module with a secondary LA264 core that accelerates SM2, SM3, and SM4 cryptographic functions. Loongson relies on its proprietary Coherent Link interconnect, which uses PCI Express-style links and board-level direct paths to scale up to 256 logical cores in multi-socket systems. Power consumption ranges from 100 to 120 W for S parts, 180 to 200 W for D parts, and 250 to 300 W for Q parts. Loongson suggests that its 16-core S model competes with Intel's (now old) third-generation Xeon Scalable processors, while its 64-core Q model is roughly comparable to the Xeon Platinum 8380 with 40 cores and 80 threads.[Only registered and activated users can see links.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 SUPER Could Feature 24GB Memory, Increased Pow
Hot on the heels of rumored specs of the [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] and [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...], rumored specs of the RTX 5080 SUPER emerged on VideoCardz. Apparently, NVIDIA will not tap into the larger "GB202" silicon to build the RTX 5080 SUPER despite maxing out the "GB203" silicon to build the current RTX 5080. It will take a slightly different approach, by giving the card additional memory and power limits. 24 Gbit GDDR7 memory chips are a distinct feature of RTX 50-series SUPER graphics cards, and much like the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER, the RTX 5080 SUPER will feature 24 GB of GDDR7 memory across a 256-bit wide memory bus.
NVIDIA could possibly use 30 Gbps memory speeds for this SKU to end up with at least the same kind of bandwidth as the regular RTX 5080, which is 960 GB/s. The other interesting aspect of the RTX 5080 SUPER is expected to be its increased TGP (total graphics power) value of 415 W, a 15% increase over the 360 W TGP of the RTX 5080. This increase in TGP will not just support the higher density memory chips, but also allow NVIDIA to increase GPU clock speeds. This will be needed, given that NVIDIA has no headroom to increase shader counts on "GB203," and will need something to increase performance for games without heavy memory demands.[Only registered and activated users can see links.

NVIDIA DLSS Transformer Cuts VRAM Usage by 20%
NVIDIA has officially released its DLSS Transformer model as part of [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...], combining advanced upscaling with a substantial reduction in video memory requirements. This update directly addresses the needs of gamers running on 8 GB or lower graphics cards by trimming VRAM usage by 20%. Unlike previous DLSS versions that relied on convolutional neural networks to infer missing pixels, the Transformer approach evaluates the relationships among all pixels in a frame and applies that understanding across multiple frames. Despite the increased sophistication of this method, NVIDIA's engineers have refined their memory management routines to maintain lean resource demands and deliver sharper, more consistent visuals.
Tested at regular resolutions, the improvements are striking: running DLSS at 1080p now consumes just 87.8 MB of VRAM, down from 106.9 MB in the prior SDK release, while similar reductions of around 20% apply at 1440p, 4K and even 8K. For those using GPUs with limited memory, these savings translate into smoother performance and the ability to enable richer graphics features without compromising image quality. Game developers and engine partners can expect to integrate the DLSS Transformer model into their titles and tools over the coming months, with early tests already highlighting crisper edges, more stable frame rates and consistently high upscaling performance.[Only registered and activated users can see links.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER Planned with 24 GB of GDDR7 Memory
We have already covered that NVIDIA is planning a SUPER refresh of its GeForce RTX 50 series GPUs, with the most recent leak revealing the [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...], which is expected to feature a slight increase in CUDA core count and 18 GB of memory. However, NVIDIA is also overhauling its RTX 5070 Ti with the SUPER treatment, now enabling the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER to feature as much as 24 GB of GDDR7 memory with no change in CUDA core count. According to kopite7kimi, the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER will feature the same 8,960 CUDA core configuration as the GB203-350-A1 SKU, based on the PG147-SKU55 PCB. The only difference here is the VRAM surplus resulting from an additional 8 GB of GDDR7, which totals 24 GB capacity, compared to the 16 GB now on the regular RTX 5070 Ti SKU.
This also changes the TBP of the card, where the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER GPU is now rumored to feature a 350 W TBP, an upgrade from the non-SUPER's RTX 5070 Ti, which has a 300 W power rating. Perhaps the extra power is dedicated now not only to more VRAM (which is also a power consumer) but to higher clock speeds, too. It wouldn't be sufficient to call it a SUPER variant without some raw compute increase, so NVIDIA might be selecting better die bins for the SUPER SKU to enable higher default clock speeds at only a 50 W TBP increase. Nonetheless, we expect to hear more details in the coming weeks, especially since the wave of rumors has started to flood social media and leaks are becoming more frequent.[Only registered and activated users can see links.
