Tim Sweeney: New Multiplayer Games Fail Because Players Won't Leave Their Friend Groups - briefly
(hx) 09:48 AM CEST - Jun,23 2026 - Post a comment / read (2)

Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney says many new multiplayer games are struggling because players are reluctant to leave the established friend groups they’ve built in titles like Fortnite, Call of Duty, Counter-Strike, and Apex Legends.

According to Sweeney, only massive mega-hits that appear every few years can successfully pull entire communities to a new game.

He believes this “friend group lock-in” is one of the main reasons why many recent multiplayer releases have flopped.

To help solve this problem, Epic plans to make Unreal Engine 6 significantly more interconnected, allowing easier movement between games while keeping social connections intact.

Sweeney’s comments highlight the growing challenge for developers trying to break into the saturated multiplayer market.

The strategy reflects Epic’s long-term vision of creating a more connected gaming ecosystem through its engine technology.

Cyberpunk 2077 Gameplay on Steam Machine - movie
(hx) 09:41 AM CEST - Jun,23 2026 - Post a comment
Valve's $1300 Steam Machine sits in a pretty hefty price range, and for all that money it better be able to play top of the line games, right? In this video, we're putting Cyberpunk 2077 to the test in order to see how it performs across the open world while driving and in close-quarter combat scenarios. Here's 9 minutes of Cyberpunk 2077 running on the Steam Machine.

Steam Machine Review: Solid but Struggles Against PS5 - tech
(hx) 01:25 AM CEST - Jun,23 2026 - Post a comment / read (1)
Digital Foundry has released a detailed performance review of Valve's new Steam Machine.

The compact PC delivers decent results in many games thanks to its AMD Zen 4 CPU and RDNA 3 GPU, but falls short in demanding titles.

In direct comparisons, the Steam Machine often runs 3-17% behind the PS5 in games like Black Myth: Wukong and Alan Wake 2, partly due to memory limitations.

It shines with native Steam library access and SteamOS convenience for living-room gaming.

Priced from $1,049, many reviewers question its value compared to building a similar PC or buying a PS5.

Steam Machine Delivers Poor Performance in Demanding Titles - briefly
(hx) 11:04 PM CEST - Jun,22 2026 - Post a comment / read (4)
A new performance test of Valve’s Steam Machine has shown disappointing results in modern AAA games.

At 1440p on Medium/High settings with ray tracing, **Cyberpunk 2077** ran at just 28 FPS. **Black Myth: Wukong** (Very High) managed only 20 FPS, and **Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora** (Ultra) hit 21 FPS.

The video highlights that a custom PC built for the same ~$1,049 price would offer significantly better performance.

The results have sparked criticism that the pre-built Steam Machine does not deliver value compared to building your own rig or buying a console.

The Steam Machine is showing disappointing performance in demanding games:

? Cyberpunk 2077 (1440p, Medium, RT) – 28 FPS
? Black Myth: Wukong (1440p, Very High) – 20 FPS
? Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora (Ultra) – 21 FPS

Valve Opens SteamOS for Custom PC Builds - Build Your Own Steam Machine - briefly
(hx) 09:16 PM CEST - Jun,22 2026 - Post a comment / read (2)

Valve has announced that starting with SteamOS 3.8, users can build their own Steam Machines using any PC hardware they want.

The update significantly improves compatibility with recent Intel and AMD platforms, making it much easier to install SteamOS on custom desktop PCs.

Previously limited mostly to AMD systems and complex installation processes, SteamOS will now deliver a Steam Deck-like experience on full-sized gaming rigs.

Valve is actively collaborating with Nvidia on driver support, though full compatibility is not expected this year.

This move expands SteamOS beyond handhelds and official hardware, giving enthusiasts the freedom to create personalized living-room or desktop gaming PCs running Steam’s ecosystem.

The announcement reflects Valve’s ongoing effort to make SteamOS a stronger, more accessible alternative to Windows for gaming.

Windows 11 26H2 Upgrade Coming Soon via Small Enablement Package - tech
(hx) 03:29 PM CEST - Jun,22 2026 - Post a comment / read (1)

Microsoft has confirmed that the next annual Windows 11 update (version 26H2) will be delivered as a small enablement package for faster and easier deployment.

This approach uses a shared servicing branch with versions 24H2 and 25H2, meaning most devices can upgrade with minimal disruption - similar to a regular monthly update rather than a full OS reinstall.

The enablement model reduces deployment size to KB/MB level, shortens installation time to minutes, and keeps the same security baseline and compatibility testing.

Devices on Windows 11 26H1 cannot use this path and will need a separate upgrade route in the future.

IT admins should start testing via the Windows Insider Program (Experimental channel) and plan rollout rings using Intune, WSUS, or Autopatch.

The update also resets the support lifecycle, providing 24-36 months of support depending on the edition.

New Steam Game 'Congratulations On Your Purchase' Costs $999.99 for Prestige - briefly
(hx) 09:01 AM CEST - Jun,22 2026 - Post a comment / read (5)

A new Steam game titled Congratulations On Your Purchase has launched at the steep price of $999.99, marketed as the most expensive title on the platform.

Its creators describe it as a game 'not for everyone' but for those who understand that prestige has a price, featuring a luxurious palace setting where players walk a red carpet and see their names displayed.

The listing has gone viral, with many questioning whether it is a serious release, a joke, or a social experiment about wealth and exclusivity.

Players reportedly receive little more than the prestige of having their name permanently featured, drawing comparisons to the infamous 2008 “I Am Rich” iPhone app.

It remains unclear how many copies, if any, have actually been sold.

CDPR Boss Admits Cyberpunk 2077 Launch Still Cost Them Some Fans' Trust - briefly
(hx) 03:22 PM CEST - Jun,21 2026 - Post a comment / read (1)

CD Projekt Red's leadership has openly acknowledged that the disastrous 2020 launch of Cyberpunk 2077 continues to affect some fans’ trust in the studio.

In a candid interview, the company boss stated they are "not 100% convinced" they have completed a full redemption arc and admitted they may have lost some players’ faith indefinitely.

He expressed hope that upcoming titles, particularly The Witcher 4, will help win back those who remain skeptical.

The comments come after years of post-launch support that turned Cyberpunk 2077 into a highly praised game with strong sales and a dedicated fanbase.

While many players have returned and now consider the game one of the best of its generation, the studio recognizes the initial damage was lasting for others.

The honest admission has sparked fresh discussion among gamers about whether CDPR can fully restore its former reputation.

Ubisoft's co-founder Claude Guillemot dies in plane crash - briefly

Ubisoft co-founder Claude Guillemot, aged 69, died Friday evening in a plane crash near La Baule on France’s Atlantic coast.

Guillemot was piloting a twin-engine Cessna 421 with a flight instructor on board when the aircraft crashed into a field while approaching La Baule-

Both occupants were killed in the accident, which occurred in a resort town scheduled to host an air show over the weekend.

Ubisoft issued a statement expressing deep sadness, confirming Guillemot’s role as co-founder of the company (established with his brothers in 1986) and chairman of Guillemot Corp., while offering condolences to his family.

Guillemot helped build Ubisoft into a major gaming publisher behind franchises like Assassin’s Creed and Far Cry; French authorities are investigating the crash as a tragic accident.

Windows 11's Modern Media Player Uses 3.5x More RAM Than Legacy Version - tech
(hx) 12:39 AM CEST - Jun,21 2026 - Post a comment / read (2)

Microsoft’s June 12 update for the modern Windows 11 Media Player added useful fixes like custom caption styling, better playback stability, and clearer codec error messages.

However, real-world tests show the modern app is much heavier, using around 377MB of RAM at idle compared to just 103MB for the legacy Windows Media Player.

It also launches videos noticeably slower, taking several seconds where the legacy player and VLC open files almost instantly.

The modern app paywalls popular codecs like HEVC (common on phones), while free alternatives handle them natively.

Despite Microsoft’s efforts to improve it, the 17-year-old legacy player from the Windows 7 era often feels faster, lighter, and more reliable for basic playback.

A short video circulating on X appears to show GTA 6 protagonist Lucia shopping in a detailed Vice City mall.

The clip depicts Lucia walking through stores, browsing items, and carrying shopping bags in what looks like a lively retail environment.

Many viewers quickly noticed glitches, such as floating shopping bags, leading most to conclude the footage is AI-generated fan content rather than official gameplay.

The video has fueled excitement among fans speculating about GTA 6’s open-world features, including everyday activities like shopping in Vice City.

It comes amid ongoing hype for Rockstar’s highly anticipated sequel, with players eager for any new visuals of the game.

While visually impressive, the clip is widely regarded as fan-made AI rather than a real leak or trailer.

A new Roblox game is going viral after footage showed ultra-detailed tactical shooter graphics that some players claim rival or even surpass Call of Duty.

The video highlights cinematic lighting, environments, and gameplay that look far more advanced than typical Roblox titles.

Many viewers are impressed by the technical achievements on the Roblox platform, comparing it to games like Ready or Not or Rainbow Six Siege.

However, others argue the visuals are still not on the level of modern CoD and question why talented developers are building on Roblox instead of releasing a standalone game.

The experience is reportedly called **TTK-Testing** and is available for free on Roblox.

Gen Z Shows Cognitive Decline Tied to Screens and EdTech - briefly
(hx) 02:40 PM CEST - Jun,20 2026 - Post a comment / read (2)
Scientists have identified a reversal of the long-standing Flynn effect, where Generation Z is showing lower performance than previous generations in key cognitive areas like attention, memory, literacy, numeracy, and problem-solving.

Neuroscientist Dr. Jared Cooney Horvath testified before the U.S. Senate on January 15, 2026, highlighting stalled or reversed cognitive development in children across much of the developed world over the past two decades.

Data from international assessments such as PISA and TIMSS show declines beginning in the mid-2000s and accelerating after 2010, despite more years spent in formal education.

Horvath points to the widespread integration of digital screens and educational technology (EdTech) in classrooms as the primary driver, arguing that these tools fragment attention and reduce deep, focused learning.

Teens now spend over half their waking hours on screens, often leading to off-task behavior and shallower processing of information.

This trend raises serious concerns about long-term impacts on workforce skills, innovation, and societal reasoning abilities.

A Reddit user has created a private World of Warcraft Wrath of the Lich King server packed with 1,800 AI-controlled characters. Using AzerothCore and the playerbots module, the bots walk around cities, quest, level up, and interact naturally on their own.

He added real-time chat by connecting them to the DeepSeek API through a simple bridge he built with AI help. This lets bots talk to each other and the player in general chat, making Stormwind feel bustling and alive.

The setup runs smoothly on a home PC for low daily costs and only activates chat when someone is online. Videos show a lively world full of natural conversations, perfect for solo players tired of empty or toxic servers.

Windows 11 Set to Finally Fix Major GPU Crash Issues on AMD, Nvidia, and Intel - tech
(hx) 02:12 PM CEST - Jun,20 2026 - Post a comment / read (1)

Microsoft is introducing a new feature in Windows 11 that could resolve long-standing graphics driver crashes, timeouts, and hangs affecting AMD, Nvidia, and Intel GPUs.

The solution is DirectX Dump Files (DDF), a DirectX 12 API that captures detailed snapshots of the GPU state exactly when a crash occurs.

These .dxdmp files include hardware registers, shader data, command buffers, and DirectX runtime information, helping developers diagnose problems much faster.

The feature will arrive in Windows 11 version 26H2 (fall 2026), with preview support already available for compatible hardware.

It offers three modes with different performance impacts and works for both end users and developers.

This marks a major improvement in graphics stability for Windows 11 users across all major GPU vendors.

Scammers Sell Fake RTX 4090 with Plastic GPU Die for Just $222 - tech
(hx) 12:41 PM CEST - Jun,20 2026 - Post a comment / read (1)

Scammers in China are selling fake RTX 4090 graphics cards for around $222, using a plastic GPU die instead of real silicon.

The counterfeit cards are marked with impossible future production dates like 2030 and contain no working VRAM, making them completely non-functional.

A Chinese hardware shop owner discovered the scam after buying what was advertised as a broken but potentially repairable card.

Physical inspection revealed the fake die had incorrect markings, a smooth plastic texture, no QR code, and lacked proper adhesive.

This marks a new level of GPU counterfeiting, building on previous scams involving swapped or hollow dies.

Buyers are strongly warned to avoid suspiciously cheap high-end GPUs and to thoroughly inspect hardware before purchase.

We've seen a wide variety of fake GPUs end up on Tom's Hardware, including entirely hollow ones that don't have a die to begin with. Now, scammers have found a new trick to make the con more believable — they're selling graphics cards with dies made out of plastic. That's what happened with Brother Zhang, a well-known Chinese hardware shop owner, who came across a used, broken RTX 4090 purchased for roughly $222.

The VRAM wasn't made out of plastic, which is a real possibility, but all the chips were "scrap" and only put there to fill up the PCB. So, neither the GPU nor the GDDR6X memory was real. Brother Zhang essentially got a $200 paperweight that looks kind of cool if you're a hardware geek. Thankfully, this card didn't belong to any customer, and the fact that it ended up with a repair shop means it can serve as a precautionary tale.

Always remain vigilant when making secondhand purchases, especially for expensive parts like a graphics card. In this day and age, just benchmarking a GPU isn't enough because scammers have been known to swap RTX 4090 dies for RTX 3090 or 3080 silicon. If a deal looks too good to be true, it more than likely is. Unless you can open up the card to check its PCB, make sure to tally the benchmark results with the performance you see for it online

creating a fake 4090 by repurposing 3080/3090 die is nothing new. whats new, however, is that this specific example uses plastic to imitate the silicon die. there is no "glue"/"adhesive" surrounding the silicon.

furthermore, the markings are completely incorrect. afaik a "30"… pic.twitter.com/QSFOszlkMt

A new leak claims GTA 6 will have a map three times larger than Red Dead Redemption 2.

The game is rumored to be around 250GB in size with over 3,000 world events and side missions.

Players could enjoy a main story that takes approximately 52 hours to complete on a speed run.

Only about 30% of interiors are expected to be enterable, excluding obvious buildings like clubs and hotels.

The post has gone viral and sparked huge excitement among fans, though it remains unverified.

Rockstar has yet to confirm any details about the highly anticipated title.
