Still Wakes The Deep studio goes independent. The Chinese Room, best known for its atmospheric forays into narrative-driven horror, has officially reclaimed its autonomy after a three‑year stint under Sumo Digital's umbrella. Originally acquired in 2022 for a deal valued at £919 million, the studio's breakout success with the Still Wakes The Deep launch trailer has empowered the team to steer clear of external ownership once more.
The Chinese Room plans two original IPs. With independence restored, the studio is already eyeing two brand‑new projects—promising fresh worlds to explore beyond their signature haunted ship setting. When details on these upcoming titles emerge, expect a deep dive here on Gaming News, where we'll break down release dates, gameplay mechanics, and potential console exclusivity.
Ready Or Not surpasses 10 million sales. Since its PC Early Access debut in December 2023, the tactical shooter Ready or Not has stormed beyond 9 million units sold, proving that players crave its intense, SWAT‑style action. The game's momentum only accelerated with its console launch trailer, Weight of the Badge, teasing updated graphics and new missions tailored to PlayStation and Xbox audiences.
Console release achieves 1 million sales in four days. Despite some content adjustments for console certification, the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S versions rocketed past 1 million copies within the first four days of release, pushing total sales over 10 million—a testament to both the hardcore community and broader shooter fans. Drawing from my extensive gaming experience, it's rare to see such rapid uptake, and it underscores Ready or Not's appeal across platforms. To join the action, download the latest version via your console's store, install the "Weight of the Badge" DLC, and dive into multiplayer raids today.
GTA 6 PS5 Pro promises 60 FPS. A recent Tech4Gamers investigation suggests that Grand Theft Auto VI may struggle to hit a steady 60 frames per second on the base PlayStation 5 hardware. Insider sources indicate that only the enhanced PS5 Pro model will consistently deliver 60 FPS at native resolution, hinting at graphical concessions or dynamic resolution scaling on the standard console.
Optimization time ahead before May 26, 2026. With the official release date locked in for May 26, 2026, Rockstar Games and Sony have a solid window to fine‑tune performance, adjust texture streaming, and refine CPU multithreading. Whether you prioritize ultra‑smooth frame rates or crave the full visual fidelity showcased in the GTA VI Trailer 2, there's still hope the base PS5 will see significant improvements before launch.
