Senua’s Saga arrived on Xbox and Windows on Tuesday the 21st — and also GeForce Now. It’ll even accept a PC Game Pass subscription as proof of ownership.
In 2023, Nvidia promised it’d release new Microsoft titles “day-and-date or as close to day-and-date as we can with the PC release of the games.” It’s happening?!
Sales jumped 262 percent in Q1 2025 to hit a record $26B in revenue, of which nearly three-quarters ($19.4B) was data center compute — especially its Hopper GPUs for training LLMs and generative AI apps, says Nvidia. Gaming only accounted for $2.6 billion revenue this quarter.
Nvidia’s expecting record revenue again next quarter — $28B. Shovels in a gold rush, people.
I called the Claw an embarrassment, but there are now two sets of performance-enhancing updates since my tests — MSI now claims “average 26% better performance than competitors in the top 100 most popular Steam games” (albeit with upscaling on).
I gave the Steam Deck and ROG Ally a second chance, so I’ll do the same for the Claw.
3DMark Steel Nomad is a rasterized bench designed to replace Time Spy. It works on Windows on Arm, Android and iOS, with Linux on the way. It sounds potent: Guru3D benched 25 GPUs against it and only four broke 60fps!
It has “Easter eggs referencing the last 25 years of 3DMark Benchmarks” in its Explorer Mode, too. It’s a free update to 3DMark, which costs $35.
Remember this? I’ve been waiting for a good reason to share it on The Verge, and all of Kingdom Hearts coming to Steam seems like a good enough one to me! Spoilers, obviously.
