CD Projekt confirms ongoing work on mystery projects Sirius and Hadar but expects a long wait.
This stretch in PC gaming news captures ongoing narratives in popular franchises and developments in gaming technology, with a special highlight on CD Projekt’s mysterious projects that continue to brew behind the scenes.
CD Projekt’s Long-running Mysteries
Fans of CD Projekt have been kept on their toes with little information about their enigmatic projects known by codenames Sirius and Hadar. In a recent investors call, CD Projekt’s vice president of investor relations, Karolina Gnaś, reassured stakeholders that these projects are still under development. However, she cautioned that they are still some way off from seeing the light of day. This is in line with the studio’s busy schedule, which includes titles like the next installment in The Witcher series and further expansions for Cyberpunk 2077 (PC Gamer).
Grand Theft Auto 6: A New Dimension of Crime
In Rockstar’s continuing saga of leaks around Grand Theft Auto 6, the criminal profile system has garnered attention. It draws some parallels to Red Dead Redemption 2’s Honor system but takes a unique approach that reflects the chaos and moral ambiguity of Vice City. This setup will allow players to experience different consequences based on their antisocial antics, adding a layer of depth that could redefine how players engage with the game world (PC Gamer).
Tech Giants in AI and Hardware
Jensen Huang revealed that a staggering 100,000 Nvidia GPUs were utilized in training OpenAI’s latest model, GPT-6 Astra. This collaboration marks a significant moment in AI development, illustrating the growing demand for high-performance computing power. Plans are underway to expand this capacity to 400,000 GPUs, highlighting the partnership’s scale and its implications on global hardware supply and demand (PC Gamer).
Game Guides Continue Unabated
Tutorials and guides remain a constant in player communities, as exemplified by YouTube and gaming websites continually producing “how-to” guides for games such as Blood of Dawnwalker and Valheim. These guides focus on optimizing gameplay experiences, like unlocking special wards or selling rare items, continuously engaging the gaming community with fresh strategies and tips (PCGamesN, PCGamesN).
