Capcom confirmed its acclaimed remakes of Resident Evil 2 (2019), Resident Evil 3 (2020) and Resident Evil 4 (2023) will launch on the Nintendo Switch 2 eShop on October 16. Each release includes all previously released DLC, meaning the RE4 remake will ship with its Separate Ways expansion starring Ada Wong.
Director Zach Cregger has acknowledged that fans of the Resident Evil video game franchise have specific expectations for his film adaptation, but says he can't satisfy every demand. He's asking audiences to temper expectations while promising the movie will honor the source material in meaningful ways.
Sony held two back-to-back State of Play broadcasts featuring release dates for Until Dawn 2 and Final Fantasy 7 Revelation, plus new footage from Marvel's Wolverine, Ghost of Yotei's new Most Wanted survival mode, Monster Hunter Wilds: Ascendance, and Metro 2039 running on PS5 Pro. The shows also revealed Maneater 2, a sequel to the shark-action game, along with updates on Crimson Desert DLC and Saros.
Four gamers sued Sony in a California court, claiming the company violated state law AB 2426 by using terms like 'Buy Now' and 'Confirm Purchase' for digital games without clearly disclosing that customers were only acquiring a revocable license, not ownership. The suit, seeking class action status, cites titles including Resident Evil Requiem and NBA 2K25, arguing buyers overpaid believing they owned the games. Sony has countered that its Terms of Service already clarify that purchases grant a license rather than ownership.
A proposed $7.85 million settlement in Caccuri v. Sony Interactive Entertainment has won preliminary court approval after being rejected twice, most recently in July 2025 over unclear recovery estimates. The suit accused Sony of monopolizing digital game sales by ending game-specific vouchers that once let PlayStation owners buy titles from rival retailers, forcing them toward the PlayStation Store. Sony denies wrongdoing, and no court has ruled it broke any law, but a final approval hearing is set for Oct. 15.
NVIDIA is launching DLSS 5, its latest AI upscaling technology, alongside NBA 2K27 on September 3. Early demos from Resident Evil: Requiem and Starfield drew heavy criticism for producing unnatural, over-processed character models, though NBA 2K27's implementation reportedly applies the effect more subtly with improved shadows and texture depth. The feature is exclusive to NVIDIA's RTX 50-series graphics cards.
Nvidia is re-launching its DLSS 5 neural rendering technology after early demos, including a widely mocked look at Resident Evil Requiem's Grace Ashcroft, drew accusations of 'AI slop.' The company now frames DLSS 5 as a tool that preserves developers' artistic intent while giving them control, and hands-on testing suggests it functions as a real-time image filter that adjusts lighting, shadow and detail rather than altering shapes or inventing objects.
