According to a Morgan Stanley research report, the bill for a single VR200 NVL72 rack is estimated to add up to $7,803,148, with $2,001,600 of those costs attributed to memory. That's a 435% increase in memory cost over the GB300, if these figures are correct.

NVIDIA's latest earnings call reported record revenue during the first quarter of 2026, to the tune of $81.6 billion. And yes, AI infrastructure and data center sales make up the vast majority.

The announcement doesn't actually mention Lord of the Rings by name, which is an interesting detail. It simply refers to its unnamed project set in Tolkien's world as "an open-world Middle-earth RPG".

It has used a LOTR hashtag, though. It also hasn't given its Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 follow-up a name, which might mean it isn't just Kingdom Come: Deliverance 3.

Yes, it's all procedurally generated, but here are some cool facts:

- No Man’s Sky has 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 planets. Exploring even 1% of them could take over a million years

- At one planet per second, fully exploring No Man’s Sky would still take around 585 billion years

- Humanity would probably go extinct long before anyone fully explores No Man’s Sky

- Players may have barely scratched the surface of No Man’s Sky, despite years of exploration

- No Man’s Sky is so massive that seeing every planet would take longer than the age of the universe many times over

A newly discovered Crytek job listing has reignited speculation that the studio could be working on a full Crysis remake instead of a brand-new sequel. Fans believe this would make more sense following the reported pause of Crysis 4 amid layoffs and financial struggles at the company.

Many players see a modern remake of the original 2007 Crysis as a safer and more realistic project for Crytek, especially after the mixed reception of the Crysis Remastered Trilogy. Rumors were further fueled by reports that Crysis 4’s game director left the studio in late 2024.

Nothing has been officially confirmed yet, and the mysterious new project could also be related to Hunt: Showdown 1896, CryEngine, or an entirely new IP.

From an interesting IGN article (yeah, I know, IGN).

• GTA 6 will have to be one of the best-selling games of all time just to break even
• This thing could make more money than Brazil and still trigger a bunch of layoffs

Here's the full article. It's a pretty cool read

• Microsoft internally acknowledges that Windows 11 has lost user trust due to poor performance, bloat, and an overfocus on AI features.
• "Windows K2" is a major internal initiative aimed at improving Windows 11 performance, reliability, and overall user experience. It is not a new version of Windows.
• Microsoft wants Windows 11 gaming performance to get much closer to SteamOS, especially on handheld gaming PCs like the Xbox Ally and similar devices.
• A new "Low Latency Profile" feature could:
  • improve app launch times by up to 40%
  • increase UI responsiveness by up to 70%
• Some drivers are being moved from kernel mode to user mode to reduce BSODs and system crashes.
• Microsoft reportedly plans to bring back several missing Windows features, including improved taskbar customization.
• Windows K2 is largely seen as a response to growing comparisons showing SteamOS as faster, cleaner, and more efficient for gaming than Windows.
