I tried gaming on the Pixel 10’s new GPU and… it’s fine

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-17 19:00:52

While there’s plenty to unpack with the Pixel 10 series and its new Tensor G5 processor, one of the biggest hardware changes this year is the adoption of a brand new GPU architecture. Google has switched from its long-running use of ARM’s Mali to Imagination Technologies’ PowerVR series. Specifically, the PowerVR DXT-48-1536, but without the ray-tracing capabilities that the series can support. Early scepticism suggested that the move might not be much of an upgrade and potentially even a down

The New York Times Mini Crossword Is No Longer Free to All: Here's One Way to Play

The New York Times Mini Crossword is a fun and simple younger sibling to the newspaper's legendary regular daily crossword. The Mini Crossword (we publish the answers daily) usually has only about six across-clues and six down-clues, and you can finish it in less than a minute if all goes well. It makes me feel smart, unlike the big crossword, which sometimes makes me throw things. But this Wednesday, some Mini Crossword players were met with a paywall.

On Aug. 26, gamers booted up their consoles and killed a whole lot of bugs. While that may not sound newsworthy on the surface, Sony and Microsoft were actually making history. That's because PlayStation gamers were getting their first taste of Marcus Fenix's classic Locust-blasting adventure in Gears of War: Reloaded, a remaster of a gritty third-person shooter classic -- and a former Xbox exclusive game. And at the very same time, Xbox players were pumping lead into man-sized democracy-hatin

Xbox Game Pass is marching toward a cliff’s edge. Microsoft’s gaming subscription service has limped along eight years after launch, while the Xbox brand and its lack of new hardware has been castigated by both players and ex-execs alike. The entire format for the subscription—where those paying the most for access to cloud gaming—is going to change.

It's now a little cheaper to try Xbox Cloud Gaming. Previously restricted to the Game Pass Ultimate tier, it's now open to Core and Standard subscribers. Xbox Cloud Gaming is still in beta, so you'll need to sign up (for free) as an Xbox Insider. Game Pass Core and Standard subscribers can stream cloud-playable games from two categories.
