If you remember from the PS5 teardown, the PS5 has a relatively accessible M.2 SSD expansion slot. But Sony Interactive Entertainment has confirmed to The Verge that the slot will be blocked by software in the console’s early days. A company representative says that it is”reserved for a future update”. On one hand, it’s not exactly surprising. During the PS5 GDC presentation, Mark Cerny did mention that not all M....
That being said, the limitations of external storage remains, that is you can’t play PS5 games from them. You’ll still have to move them to the internal SSD for that. This is definitely a faster process than having to download them. That being said, you’ll have to be careful about chewing through its total read/write life cycle. Other things being added in this update include features that extend across two console generations....

PUBG Corp says these charms can never be bought, and each weapon’s Mastery will reward different charms to players. You earn weapon experience by using weapons, with more points being rewarded for landing difficult shots and surviving longer with the weapon of your choice....

First and foremost, the company noted that it has separated the Qualcomm and Snapdragon brand, with the latter to now fully represent all of its mobile-related products. Moving forward, Snapdragon will be a standalone brand “with specific ties to the Qualcomm brand where appropriate,” it added.

According to a report by the German site, WinFuture, the high-end Qualcomm chipset goes by the name SC8280, which were certain is not going to be the final name. Further, the site reports that the developer’s platforms used in testing showed several variants of the chipset, including one using 8GB LPDDR5 RAM and another with 32GB LPDDR4X RAM. WinFuture also says that the SC8280 will be 20 x 17mm in size, which hints at the possibility of the chipset housing more than eight cores, which would technically make it the first such chipset for the chipmaker....
Kotaku reports that Quantic Dream has been working on its Star Wars game for 18 months, corroborating an earlier DualShockers report by Tom Henderson. But this new report also states that it won’t be the “conventional type of quick-time-event-driven game” that the studio is known for. Instead, it will have a more traditional action gameplay. It could also have open world and multiplayer elements. With Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order being such a success for Electronic Arts, one could see that happening....

And it is doing so via vending machine. The company says it is giving one free mask to every Singapore resident aged 16 and above. And for verification, the company is using its Razer Pay app. Upon verification, Singaporean users will get a mask coupon on the app. The company says this process may take up to one business day, so there may be some waiting involved. Once a user gets the coupon on the app, all they have to do is go to a Razer mask vending machine and scan the coupon there....
Razer now calls the optical switches Linear Optical Switches rather than Opto-Mechanical. Name aside, they essentially work the same way, with actuation registering when an infra-red light beam gets cut off by the keys being pressed down. The Huntsman Tournament Edition’s keys also actuate at 1mm, down to 1.5mm from the standard model. This iteration of the Razer Huntsman also loses the number pad on the right. Most of the other features should be familiar to those who have used either the standard Huntsman or the Elite variant....
Back in the day, the original Deathstalker had very basic membrane switches. In its new incarnation, the family sports low-profile optical switches instead. Which is nice, but this usually also translates to higher prices, which we’ll get to in a bit. Starting with the basic Razer Deathstalker V2, this serves as the baseline as to what you can expect from the series. As mentioned earlier, you get low-profile optical keys, and these are rated for a 70 million keystroke lifespan....

The test was first spotted by developer Nima Owji, who shared the discovery on Twitter. He noted that a banner referencing the project was displayed on Reddit’s web application, appearing at the top of the main pages of the platform’s communities, but wasn’t shown publicly to its users. “You can now use digital collectibles as your Reddit avatar,” the banner advertised. — Nima Owji (@nima_owji) January 21, 2022 On the official side of things, Reddit has confirmed with TechCrunch that it is indeed working on the new feature....
GameWatch reports that SIE has indeed announced the discontinuation of the PS4. In fact, all but one model has ended production, including the newer, more powerful Pro models. More specifically, only the 500GB PS4 slim (CUH-2000) will survive the production cull. The report claims that SIE is diverting its production lines to pump out more of the newer PS5 consoles. Stocks of the current-generation continue to be scarce, owing to a number of factors....
