Microsoft has announced that, after two potential rescue deals collapsed, it will begin a consultation process to close its Cambridge-based studio Ninja Theory, the developer of the Hellblade series.

AMD Quietly Drops New Technology to Improve Graphics With Less GPU Strain
AMD unveiled a new ray-tracing method called the tetrahedral cage that cuts video-memory demand dramatically-its demo ran at over 60 fps in 1080p on a Radeon RX 9070 XT using just 1.7 GB instead of the 80 GB a traditional clustered approach would require. The technique could benefit future AMD-based consoles (e.g., PS 6, Project Helix) and lower-end PCs, but it remains unclear when or if developers will adopt it in commercial games.
