The actual action skills, skill trees, and gameplay for C4SH have not yet been revealed, but Gearbox also released a trailer showing off the new vault hunter's design, which looks very much inspired by classic cowboy and Western motifs. Gearbox did tease that C4SH's play style will be very high-risk, high-reward, and that his abilities will involve buffs for himself and allies, increased damage output, and enemy debuffs.

Sony's upcoming PlayStation 6 console will reportedly feature a detachable disc drive from launch, according to Insider Gaming. The PlayStation 5 originally shipped in 2020 as two separate models: one with a Blu-ray drive and one digital-only. Sony later introduced a detachable disc drive mid-generation. Now sources say the company plans to make that detachable drive an official part of the PlayStation family from day one, offering a single base console that can be bought as a digital-only unit, bundled with a drive, or upgraded later by purchasing the removable drive as an accessory.

A removable drive allows Sony to simplify and slim the core chassis, lower production complexity, and reduce shipping costs by shipping a lighter, smaller base unit, where demand is digital-first. It also allows some consumer flexibility, preserves the option for physical media collectors, and makes repairs easier because a faulty drive can be swapped without replacing the whole console. That said, the idea brings questions about accessory SKUs, compatibility, and warranty handling, and Sony will have to ensure the add-on feels integrated and reliable. If the plan holds, the PlayStation 6 could arrive as a cleaner, more modular console that keeps discs alive for another generation, away from the fully digitalized era.

Scattered across the map, these dungeons can be highly dangerous, but also highly lucrative for players in search of rare items and materials. Whether playing alone or with friends, players can uncover different rarity key cards to raise the stakes and increase their potential rewards and even trade cards with friends online.

AMD recently released its FidelityFX Super Resolution SDK 2.0 to accompany the shift to the machine learning-based FSR 4, but in a bizarre twist, the company also seemingly accidentally open-sourced the libraries to FSR 4 via its AMD GPUOpen project, giving tech-savvy browsers a sneak peek at the inner workings of FSR 4. The files have since been removed from AMD's GPUOpen library, but quick fingers managed to snag screenshots of the file directory, which reveals enough. One of the biggest takeaways was the inclusion of 8-bit integer (INT8) libraries, which use less resources but are also less precise than those used in RDNA 4, indicate that there is or may have been some intention to release FSR 4 for AMD's RX 7000 GPUs. FSR 4 was initially announced to be exclusive to AMD's Radeon RX 9000 series GPUs, but that may not be the case for long.

There have previously been hints that AMD FSR 4 could be coming to older RDNA hardware, and there have even been mod projects that have successfully forced it to work on older hardware, but this is a substantial official signal that AMD may be working on porting it to older hardware. There is also speculation that the INT8 libraries may be destined for the PlayStation 5 Pro, but the file type seems to indicate otherwise—PS5 uses .PSSL, while these shaders were packaged as .HLSL, suggesting they were for PC use.

Sony has officially increased prices of its PlayStation 5 consoles, with the increase spanning the regular PlayStation 5, Digital Edition, and the Pro SKU.
