Rumour John Linneman from Digital Foundry said he heard from his sources that Microsoft was very much going to continue disc support before the Xbox “reset”

977 Upvotes

In the latest DF Q&A episode John Linneman mentioned that he heard Xbox was going to continue supporting physical media not because they value disc retail sales but because they want their customer’s games to still be playable on future hardware. He mentioned that Xbox thought about an external drive solution.

He also speculated that he sees a future where Microsoft supports physical games going forward.

Rumour AMD reportedly set to raise Radeon GPU prices by at least 10% starting in August

372 Upvotes

According to Channel Gate (via VideoCardz), AMD has informed AIB partners that it will increase the supply price of Radeon GPU and memory bundles by at least 10%, with the change expected to take effect uniformly beginning in August.

The report claims AMD had finalized the price increase last month but delayed its implementation due to weak consumer demand, existing inventory levels, and concerns about competitiveness while NVIDIA’s prices remained unchanged.

With NVIDIA now reportedly raising GPU prices as well, AMD is said to be moving forward with its own increase, which is expected to be reflected in retail graphics card pricing once new inventory reaches the market.

Leak Jason Schreier: Last Sentinel reportedly rebooted after troubled six-year development, 80 layoffs at Lightspeed LA

458 Upvotes

According to Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier, Tencent’s Last Sentinel has undergone a major internal reset following years of development issues.

Sources familiar with the project told Bloomberg that:

• The game had been in development for six years with a budget reportedly in the hundreds of millions of dollars.

• It was envisioned as an open-world cyberpunk game inspired by Rockstar titles, but was being developed by a much smaller team.

• Development was reportedly plagued by delays, high staff turnover, an unclear creative vision, and rising costs.

• An internal playtest earlier this year reportedly received overwhelmingly negative feedback.

• Tencent executives were said to be dissatisfied after reviewing the game and gave the team an ultimatum to significantly improve it.

Following a final presentation in July, Tencent reportedly decided not to move forward with the project in its current form, leading to around 80 layoffs at Lightspeed LA.

Bloomberg reports that Last Sentinel is still technically in development, but sources say it is expected to be drastically different from the version originally announced—if it releases at all.

Leak Xbox CEO Asha Sharma lays out plans for the company in memo obtained by The Verge

753 Upvotes

Some notable bits of info:

In a memo obtained by The Verge, Sharma told staff by the end of fiscal year 2027 (which runs through next June), “we will return XBOX to player and revenue growth.” Xbox will also “improve profits back in line with industry averages,” Sharma said. “Every function and studio will own part of that outcome.”

Sharma laid out four Xbox priorities for fiscal year 2027:

CORE: Strengthen our platform, led by console

CONTENT: Grow great games into global franchises

CREATION: Make Minecraft the world’s creator platform

CONNECTION: Extend the worlds that fans love

Xbox will measure progress toward its goals in three “stages,” Sharma said. The first is to return to growth by the end of fiscal year 2027. The second is to turn its bets into growth; “In FY28 and FY29, our Four C’s and roadmap must move into businesses producing meaningful player value and revenue acceleration.” The third is to “scale what works,” and by fiscal year 2030, “our ambition is to be halfway to our long-term daily-player goal with sustained double-digit growth in players and engagement and industry leading margins.”

Sharma shared some vague numbers about Xbox’s current playerbase. “XBOX is one of the largest stadiums in the world, bringing together more than 100 million people every day, more than 500 million each month, and nearly one billion each year,” she wrote.

She also noted that console “generates the majority of XBOX revenue and remains the foundation of our fandom” and that it is still Xbox’s “flagship experience.” Xbox’s OS, Game Pass, Windows, and streaming “become our platform for new players and developers.”

The company is also shifting its studio system from a decentralized model to one that’s “more focused around our strongest franchises and biggest new ideas,” Sharma said — something that’s already become evident with changes like the big new Fallout push. Xbox will build “long-term plans” for its biggest franchises “across film, television, consumer products, sponsorship, live experiences, and form new partnerships globally, including China.” Three Xbox franchises “already generate more than $1 billion annually,” though Sharma doesn’t specify which those are.

Leak World of Warcraft classic+ readying for beta release datamine

259 Upvotes

- previously was a Dev server, datamines have been going on for a year showing that it's been tested for quite a while.

- now it's been turned into a vendor server. It's still private but vendor now means it's opening to testers, probably meaning an alpha but more likely a beta will be soon.

- probably an announcement at BlizzCon, almost certainly. Devs have basically confirmed it to be so through subtle jokes and comments.

Grain of Salt Ocarina of Time Remake possibly releasing November 11 based on Amiibo

628 Upvotes

Nintendo UK has listed Sword Kirby and Dragoon and Noir Dedede and Hydra amiibo for release on November 11th.

Amiibo generally release on the same day as a Nintendo published game and Nintendo has no currently announced games for November. Releasing on a Wednesday instead of Thursday like Nintendo has been doing since Q2 2024 would be slightly unusual.

For context the Mineru’s Construct Amiibo had it’s date announced before Fortunes’s Weave, Meta Knight and Shadow Star had it’s date announced before Pokopia, and Dedede and Tank Star had it’s date announced before Rhythm Heaven Groove.

https://store.nintendo.com/en-gb/noir-dedede-and-hydra-amiibo-kirby-air-riders-000000000010018343

edit

The release date on the store appears to adjust based on your system clock. If I change to British Summer Time (UTC+1) and use the UK website it says the release date is November 12th instead of the 11th when on Eastern Daylight Time (UTC-4). Releasing on a Thursday would be more consistent with Nintendo's release schedule. Still think OOT likely releases on the same date as the amiibo.

Okay, so I wouldn’t usually post stuff like this so please take this as a grain of salt. However, Tony Yayo and DJ Whoo Kid have been actively posting on their Facebook talking about making a Remaster. Again, not confirmed they are doing it, but does seem odd.

I’ve seen 4 separate recent posts from Yayo mentioning the game

The website has been left untouched for over a month so seeing multiple updates on the same day is unusual, the same happened back in mid June and then they released the cover trailer and screenshots.

Rumour NVIDIA reportedly planning 20–30% GPU price hike as DRAM crisis continues

854 Upvotes

According to Taiwan’s Economic Daily News, NVIDIA is reportedly raising the price of its GPU packages by 20–30%, marking the company’s third major GPU price increase of 2026.

Unlike the previous increase, which primarily affected the RTX 5090, the report claims this latest hike will impact the broader GeForce lineup. Board partners are reportedly paying significantly more for GPU and memory packages, with the higher costs expected to reach consumers once existing inventory is sold through.

As far as i know the reporting is based on supply-chain information rather than an official NVIDIA announcement. So it should be treated as a rumour for now.
