Micron, one of the largest global manufacturers of memory, expects the ongoing RAM shortage to last through 2027. That's according to Micron CEO Sanjay Mehrotra, who said in the company's Q3 2026 earnings report today that the unprecedented demand facing the semiconductor industry isn't letting up any time soon.
"We expect tight conditions to persist beyond calendar 2027 as a result of AI-driven demand across all segments coupled with structural supply constraints," Mehrotra said.
Semiconductors, the chips used to manufacture computer hardware like RAM, the VRAM in graphics cards, and SSDs, have increased significantly in price over the last few years, primarily due to demand for their use in AI data centers. Micron itself exited the...

Destiny 2 fans shouldn't "blame" themselves for Bungie choosing to end support for the game, says the company's comms manager.
The Destiny community has been in mourning for about a month now after Bungie abruptly announced it would be ending support for Destiny 2. Although the game will remain playable, Bungie will not be adding new content to the game. This came as a shock to its community, who assumed a bright future was ahead for the title, but that isn't the case.
One fan pondered over whether or not the community could have done more to support the game. Bungie communications manager Dylan Gafner responded by simply saying nothing more could be done and thanked fans for almost a full decade of support.
"You all have done more...

XR glasses - glasses that project a virtual screen in front of you that no one else can see - are one of those gadgets that are both really cool and potentially super practical, but few people actually own. A major reason for that is cost. The technology isn't inexpensive and a good pair could run you hundreds of dollars. Fortunately, some of the most popular XR glass brands are hosting Amazon Prime Day sales with steep discounts. One of the best known brands is VITURE.
VITURE's two most popular models are on sale with discounts anywhere between 20% and 33% off. They include VITURE's flagship Beast glasses, which are designed for gaming and movie watching, and the Luma series, which is intended for productivity use. All glasses come...

The Thief franchise is enjoying a major resurgence in 2026, with Thief: The Dark Project Remastered coming to PC and consoles this winter. Now, IGN can exclusively reveal that the franchise is also expanding to the world of comics via a new graphic novel called Thief: Pulse of Promise.
Thief: Pulse of Promise is a collaboration between Bit Bot and Eidos-Montréal. This 147-page graphic novel takes place between the events of 1998's Thief: The Dark Project and 2000's Thief II: The Metal Age. The book is being crowdfunded on BackerKit.
Thief: Pulse of Promise is written by Joshua Viola (Legacy of Kain, The Rocky Horror Show) and Sean Eads (Terror in the Corn, Lord Byron’s Prophecy), with interior art by Emanuele Ercolani (Masters of the...
Fortnite will begin reselling content from old battle passes as part of its next update.
The scheme will start off with skins from Chapter 5 Season 4: Absolute Doom, which was Fortnite's most recent Marvel-dedicated season that ran from August 16 to November 2, 2024.
This included Marvel characters such as Doctor Doom, Mysterio, Shuri, War Machine, Gwenpool and Emma Frost, as well as a Captain America version of Fortnite character Jonesy. All are now expected to imminently return via Fortnite's in-game shop.
Fortnite previously pledged to never resell content released as part of its time-limited battle passes, a policy that made them must-have purchases at the time, but ultimately served to only lock newer players out of characters...
GTA fans are discussing how the story in Grand Theft Auto 6 will be structured, following the apparent confirmation that it will be separated into chapters, similar to Red Dead Redemption 2.
An official reference to content becoming unlocked through various chapters of the game can be seen on Rockstar's website, where the developer discusses its various bonuses available in GTA 6's $100 Ultimate Edition. These bonuses will not all be available straight away, Rockstar has cautioned, noting instead that the extras "are threaded across all aspects of Jason and Lucia's story, with new items uncovered behind each chapter."
Various cars, safe houses, sidequests and guns can be accessed as fans play through GTA 6 — and it sounds as if the...
A few hours after the State of Unreal keynote speech, founder and CEO of Epic Games Tim Sweeney, alongside EVP of development Marcus Wassmer, met with us to talk about everything new with Unreal Engine. They’d just announced that UE6 is set for early access at the end of 2027 with a 12-14 month period before its full launch, had developers on stage speak to how Unreal made their games technically possible, and, well, showcased AI tools being integrated in future iterations of the engine.
It feels redundant to say at this point that the games industry is in unprecedented times, but it really is – at the convergence of unaffordable consumer hardware, development studios getting shuttered, and AI getting pushed onto everything in between...
GTA 6 is a “single-player experience,” Rockstar has confirmed in a note sent to IGN, as well as on storefronts where you can now preorder the game. This suggests the $80 base game does not include any new version of GTA Online, should such an experience be in the works.
While many are assuming Rockstar plans to release a new and improved GTA Online at some point in the future, there remains questions over how it will be released. Will Rockstar release a new GTA Online for free within GTA 6? Or will it release it as a standalone experience, potentially charging more?
Rockstar’s announcements today have made it clear that the existing GTA Online is the focus for now. A digital preorder gets you a free month of GTA+, with Rockstar...
I’ve always liked Dead or Alive – unfortunately, that sentence usually has to be followed by a “but,” lest people think you’re some kind of weird pervert. “Not like that!” you might yell. “I think the mechanics are rad!” It’s tiresome, and Dead or Alive 6: Last Round deserves better than that stuff dominating the conversation around it. I’ve spent the last few days shaking seven years of dust off, but I really want to put it through its paces and spend some more time in the ring before I slap a number on it – as well as test it out on live servers since this updated edition still doesn’t have rollback netcode for some baffling reason. Fighting games are complex beasts, even when they’re essentially just re-releases that bundle all of...
The boss of Japanese company Kadokawa has survived a shareholder vote on his future amid increasing pressure from an activist investor who believes the company has failed to capitalize on Elden Ring’s enormous success.
Reuters reported on the result of a showdown between Kadokawa CEO Takeshi Natsuno and Hong Kong-based Oasis Management, which is now the company’s largest shareholder with a 13.76% stake, during a meeting of shareholders. While Natsuno has survived for now, Automaton reported that Oasis has just upped its stake to 15.25%, with plans to increase it further.
Elden Ring is from legendary video game developer FromSoftware, which is owned by Kadokawa. It has sold an astonishing 30 million copies — a figure that is sure to...
The next salvo of content for Straight4 Studios’ Project Motor Racing has landed, as the development team continues to augment and improve its poorly received 2025 racing sim.

Maverick Games has announced it will be hosting a gameplay livestream of its upcoming open-world action-driving game Clutch on Thursday, June 25 at 9am PDT, noon EDT, 5pm BST, or 2am Friday June 26 AEST.
The livestream will be hosted on YouTube by studio founder and Clutch creative director Mike Brown (principal game designer of Forza Horizon 4 and creative director of Forza Horizon 5), with art director Ben Penrose (associate art director on the original Forza Horizon, and art director on Forza Horizon 2 through to Forza Horizon 5).
According to Maverick Games’ announcement, racing fans will get “a sneak peek into the game’s cinematic narrative and its star-studded cast, the speed of the R1K pro circuit, the style of the underground...

In a new interview, Valve has conceded it has no bargaining power when it comes to buying memory from the limited number of companies that produce it at scale and control the bulk of the market. The company explained that doing anything other than agreeing to the price offered would see Valve cut off entirely.
The explosive growth of the AI industry has come with gluttonous demand from AI businesses hoarding the same memory components that consumer electronics need. As demand outpaces supply, prices have shot up sharply.
For its part, Valve explained that it has not secured contracts for memory components.
“Look, there’s no contract; there’s nothing,” Valve engineer Pierre-Loup Griffais told Gamers Nexus. “Like, those guys… they give...
Marathon has set a release date for its upcoming PvE mode, Vault Breaker, as well as the start of Season 3.
Marathon will release its new "experimental" PvE mode on July 21st as part of the next mid-season update. This new mode will allow players to venture into Cryo Archive, the map used for the game's endgame raid-like content, to take on a series of challenging vaults. You'll be able to do this on your own or with allies, with a unique progression system that lets you grow more powerful ahead of the final vault. Bungie also revealed that Vault Breaker will have some specific requirements to participate.
"Vault Breaker requires a special Sponsored Kit to queue up, and any gear or items you find stay behind when you exfil," says...
Bungie developers were apparently very passionate about a Destiny dating simulator, but leadership had no interest.
Former Bungie community member Liana Ruppert dropped this piece of trivia on players after seeing a fan expressing interest in a Destiny dating sim.
"Fun fact, the team actually made one, but leadership [gave a] very hard no [and felt] that nobody wanted romance or silliness. Very Dream Daddy inspired. It was fun getting to be a small part of it."
Former Bungie senior narrative designer Robert Brookes chimed in, revealing that the concept came out of an event where the studio was allowed to prototype fun side projects for a week. However, a small group of devs continuously tried to scale it into a full-blown project...
Lords of the Fallen 2 will no longer release this year, as the game has been pushed to early 2027.
CI Games CEO Marek Tyminski confirmed that Lords of the Fallen 2 will miss its fall 2026 release window in favor of refining and strengthening the game.
"As development progresses, we have worked closely with the Gameplay Feedback Team, a dedicated group of seasoned Souls-like veterans within our Launch Creative Team," he said. "Their valuable ongoing input, combined with the team’s vision, has identified meaningful opportunities to further refine and strengthen the overall experience. These enhancements will benefit from additional integration, iteration, and polishing time, enabling the team to deliver the highest possible quality at...
Netflix is dipping its toe back into narrative adventure with the upcoming launch of Unhinged, a first-person horror game from Oxenfree developer Night School Studio.
Unlike the teen drama of Oxenfree, Unhinged looks to be a more mature, blood-spattered affair. The game's story centers on two young women in neighbouring houses, as one attempts to escape a home invasion.
Unhinged also features bonafide acting talent, in the shape of Stranger Things and Spider-Man: Brand New Day star Sadie Sink, plus The Batman and Divergent's Zoë Kravitz. Video game veteran Troy Baker rounds out the cast list, meanwhile.
Rather than Netflix's previous experiments with interactive live-action experiences (such as in Black Mirror's Bandersnatch), this...
Amazon's Prime Day sale has already dropped some exciting video game deals for Prime members. My personal favorite? Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. This fantastic RPG – on both PS5 and Xbox Series X – is currently just $39.99, which is $10 less than usual and its lowest price at the retailer. That makes now a perfect time to grab it if you haven't yet.
This deal only available for Prime members, as with all Prime Day deals. But if you're able to snag it, you're in for such a treat.
I'm in total agreement with The Game Awards that Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 was the best game of 2025. Its story is unforgettable, its voice-acting is top-notch, its turn-based combat was an absolute blast to master, and that soundtrack? Catchy and...
Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy takes no time getting into the good stuff. The back half of the preview demo had us running and jumping up a collapsing Cretan ruin, hurling this story’s new protagonist – Sophia – from one crumbling ancient pipe to the next while a monster best left unspoiled hunted us through the dark below. A half-hour earlier, we were fighting armed mercenaries in the sun, planting well-placed daggers into swaths of foes while solving intricate puzzles, and following a treasure map to find the next clue. This is the essence of Asobo Studio's third trip into its plague-soaked world, and the preview build ran us two nailbiting hours across two gorgeous chapters ahead of its upcoming August launch. Of course, if you've...
Hard as it is to believe, Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 is ten years old this year. That’s a long time to support anything, but Xenoverse 2 is one of those rare games that found a community that stuck with it. Nothing lasts forever, though, and Xenoverse 3 is looking to shake things up by moving the series to Age 1000. At SGF, I got to play Xenoverse 3 and talk with producer Masayuki Hirano about Age 1000, making a brand new Xenoverse game after 10 years, and why my character’s room was so damn messy. Turns out, like almost all things Dragon Ball, there’s a reason.
My demo started with a character select: Earthling or Saiyan. Now, normally, I’d pick a Saiyan. I mean, who doesn’t love your hair getting progressively bigger and more yellow as...
If you ask me, Disney has been pretty smart in recent years about its Star Wars video games. Instead of relying solely on its small group of internal development teams, as it did a long time ago in a gaming galaxy far, far away – or signing an exclusivity deal with one single publisher, as it did last decade with EA – The Mouse now hands its licenses, Star Wars included, to absolutely anyone with a great pitch. And we’ve already had one Game of the Year-caliber masterpiece come out of this strategy (2024’s Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, from the Riddick and Wolfenstein veterans at MachineGames).
And so when Lucasfilm first announced Star Wars: Galactic Racer earlier this year as a collaboration with developer Fuse Games – who...
Warhammer 40,000: Darktide has today received a huge free update alongside the Skitarii class DLC.
While fans will be most excited about the arrival of the $11.99 Adeputus Mechanicus unit to the first-person action game, the free update makes a number of important changes to go alongside it. The headline here is the addition of new enemies, the Scab and Dreg Vanguards. These are human melee bruisers who use breakable shields. The Scab variant has a harder more durable shield that will last longer, but comes in more scarce numbers, while their Dreg are more numerous but only equipped with scrappy handmade shields that are more prone to breaking.
There's also a new event, starting today, in which players can join missions with the...
From Messi to Ronaldo, most of football’s greatest modern players have graced video game covers over the years. But which is the best? Well, there’s no real scientific way to decide this, so I’m pretty much going on aesthetic-based vibes completely. I’ve also pretty much stuck to the big two football series from the past few decades — FIFA/EA FC and Pro Evolution Soccer — but believe me, the temptation to stick the likes of Peter Beardsley’s International Football was certainly there. So, without further ado, let’s look at what I think are the 10 best football game covers.
10. FIFA Road to World Cup 98 — David Beckham
Few people in the world, at least certainly in England, were as famous as David Beckham was in 1998. Part of a...
Amazon's Prime Day sale has officially kicked off, and I've already found a great deal on one of my favorite games from this year: Resident Evil Requiem has dropped to just $55.99 for a limited time only.
Not only does this deal price apply to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X copies, but also to the Nintendo Switch 2.
While this deal price is great to see across the board, it's the Switch 2 edition that's really caught our eye. It's the first time we've ever seen a discount on the Switch 2 version, plus if you're an Amazon Prime Member, you can get that version even cheaper at $53.19 right now.
Considering this is the first time it has been discounted at the retailer, it's well worth making a move on it while it's still available...
Half-Life 3 may not be here yet, or ever arrive, for that matter, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t already plenty of incredible games from developer Valve Corporation to play. And now with the brand new Steam Machine console to experience them on, what better time to get stuck in? The custodian of Steam may not be anywhere near as prolific as it once was when it comes to actually making games, but it still has a ridiculously strong list to pick from – some of which are daily destinations for hundreds of thousands of players. But which are the best? Well, that’s exactly what we’ve tried to decide here as we take in the importance, endurance over time, and innovation each of these games has brought to the table over the past three...
Valve has explained why it refuses to subsidize the Steam Machine, which launched yesterday priced at least $1,049.
IGN has an interview with Valve discussing the price of the hardware and the impact the ongoing ‘RAM apocalypse’ had on the company’s pricing plan. But ahead of this week’s announcement, some had called for Valve, which earns billions of dollars in revenue each year through PC games platform Steam, to subsidize the cost to make it a more accessible device and theoretically at least, have a greater number of people buying games through their ecosystem.
In November last year, Larian publishing director Michael Douse, who is in charge of business development regarding the likes of Steam megahit Baldur’s Gate 3, took to...
