Story Highlight
Many titles in the Assassin’s Creed franchise have been in development.
A prominent dataminer leak suggests that one of the titles is likely to be announced soon.
It is more likely to be the rumored Black Flag Remake or Project Invictus.
Not too long ago, it was reported that multiple Assassin’s Creed titles are in development, and most of them have already been announced by Ubisoft.
However, a recent report from a prominent dataminer suggests that the studio is gearing up to reveal a new game in the Assassin’s Creed franchise.
Why it matters: Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag has been rumored to be in development for a long time, but nothing has been disclosed yet about the title.
A New Assassin’s Creed Reveal Is Imminent.
As can be seen in the above screenshot, one of the most prominent dataminers, PlayStation Size, which usually shares the size of games, has recently made a new tweet confirming that a new Assassin’s Creed game could be announced soon.
While many in the comments started saying that it could be Shadows: Claws of Awaji DLC or even rumoured Mirage DLC, the dataminer has confirmed that it’s neither of those and ruled them out from the list.
As per the recent rumors, the upcoming announcement is likely to be the Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag Remake, which the studio even teased. Recent reports have also suggested that an official announcement is just around the corner.
Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Is Likely To Get An Official Announcement Soon.
However, it has also been suggested that the title could also be Project Invictus, a multiplayer game in development for the franchise. While it’s hard to tell which one it is currently, it is best to wait for an official reveal, which is likely to be made soon.
Nonetheless, what do you think the next reveal is going to be? Are you hoping to see Assassin’s Creed 4 Remake or Project Invictus? Share your thoughts with us in the comments or join the Tech4Gamers forums.

Story Highlight
GTA 6 was delayed to May 2026 earlier this year.
An insider states that internal chatter at Rockstar Games suggests another delay to September 2026 is possible.
The same report also outlines pricing for the various editions of the game, including a $70 standard edition.
As fans gear up for the May 26 launch, however, the threat of another delay looms over GTA 6. An insider has recently suggested that the game may not necessarily arrive on the promised release date.
Why it matters: Fans have already waited so long for the game that many have grown impatient. Therefore, another delay could be devastating for some dedicated fans.
The Game Received A Bunch of New Marketing Material A Few Months Ago
According to insider Millie Amand, internal chatter at Rockstar Games points to GTA 6 potentially slipping to September 2026.
Although Rockstar Games currently appears confident in meeting its May 2026 release target, the studio has a history of multiple delays. Red Dead Redemption 2 was delayed twice in a similar manner, finally launching in the last quarter of 2018.
Therefore, a similar pattern for GTA 6 would not be too out of the ordinary. Unfortunately, this would also mean that the game’s PC port would be pushed back even further, arriving sometime in late 2027 or early 2028.
Elsewhere, the insider details the various editions expected for the game and their prices. The standard GTA 6 version appears to start at $70 despite discussions around a price tag as high as $100.
The report suggests GTA 6 will still launch with a $110 premium edition, offering first GTA Online access and other perks. Elsewhere, a $90 deluxe edition will ship with early GTA Online access.
Fans Remain Excited For GTA 6
Only time will tell whether the reported delay comes to fruition, but fans will certainly hope to see the game arrive as soon as possible. Still, with Rockstar Games taking as much time as needed for GTA 6, a delay is certainly not outside of the realm of possibilities.
Would you mind if GTA 6 were delayed again? Do you intend to play the game as soon as it arrives? Let’s discuss in the comments and on the Tech4Gamers Forums.
At Tech4Gamers, I mainly cover new gaming news, leaks, and rumours. Aside from that, I love to write features about my favourite games while inserting my opinion about their different aspects.

Unreal Engine 5 is famous for its stuttering issues, as games suffer from it.
While the engine allows developers to create gorgeous visuals, it comes at a cost.
However, CDPR and Epic Games are working together to eliminate these issues once and for all.
The stuttering issues of Unreal Engine 5 are one of the most hated things in this gaming community. While the engine does allow the developers to go wild with the graphics, it usually comes at a cost.
Games like Black Myth: Wukong, Silent Hill 2 Remake, and Stalker 2 were developed using UE5, and they all experienced significant stuttering. There are many upcoming games that will utilise this engine for game development, and The Witcher 4 is among them.
CDPR previously revealed that it was in collaboration with Epic Games to solve the stuttering problem. Now, Epic Games has reiterated its willingness to work with the developer in order to eliminate the problem once and for all.
Why it matters: Stutters in video games can ruin the experience for many. Even micro stutters are considered annoying by the fandom, and rightfully so.
Ari Arnbjörnsson, a former Housemarque dev now Senior Software Engineer and Developer Relations at Epic Games, who has previously worked on Returnal, an Unreal Engine 4 game, which has pretty amazing graphics and performance (not on PC), interviewed several developers who are solely working to eliminate Unreal Engine 5 stuttering.
CDPR was one of the developers working on this issue. So, Epic Games and many other developers (including CDPR) are working to eliminate this issue once and for all. Ari revealed in the video that CDPR made a Fast-Geo Streaming Plug-in for UE5.6 for the developers to use.
It is a level streaming plugin that eliminates stutter by streaming in and out of assets rapidly. Also, it is worth noting that this was used for the tech demo of The Witcher 4 as well. Almost every other developer does this, even for their own engine.

Story Highlight
Battlefield 6 is the most wishlisted game on Steam with over 500,000 wishlists last weekend.
The FPS is also trending ahead of FC 26 and Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater.
The anticipation around the title has only been increasing since the first trailer launched.
The hype for Battlefield 6 was already through the roof before the trailer came out last week, but now, the upcoming FPS is starting to hit new heights. The trailer got more likes than the teaser for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 in just one hour, and the game is also set to skip Last-gen consoles for maximum performance.
This wave of incessant marketing is reflecting well on Battlefield 6, with the shooting title rising up the charts on Steam while beating out multiple big names.
Why This Matters: EA has set a rather demanding goal of 100 million players for Battlefield 6, and the game needs all the anticipation it can gather to achieve it.
Battlefield 6 is trending at No. 1 on Steam.
As per SteamDB, Battlefield 6 is the most wishlisted game on the platform right now, surpassing popular releases like Wuchang: Fallen Feathers and Killing Floor 3. Furthermore, over 500,000 players have wishlisted the title over the weekend through July 27, as per data from Alinea Analytics.
Incredibly, at least 60% of these wishlists are from users who have played Battlefield 2042 on Steam. Hence, the anticipated FPS will have a remarkable retention rate of players from the previous game in the franchise.
In addition, the shooting title is also among the top trending games this week on Steam, ahead of big hitters like Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater and EA Sports FC 26. With the Battlefield 6 reveal event happening on July 31, these numbers are only going to go up as interest in the game increases.
Battlefield 6 is set to launch in 2025.
EA has also announced an open beta of the game in addition to a Battle Royale mode, which will launch in 2026. Hence, Battlefield 6 will have a steady flurry of players to help it reach the unbelievable 100 million users goal, but it’s only possible if the game is good.

Story Highlight
Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 holds the 5th spot for best-selling games on Steam, even 25 weeks after launch.
The RPG has seen tremendous success and has become a solid competitor for this year’s GOTY award.
The game is set to receive a second DLC expansion, “Legacy of the Forge,” possibly later this year.
2025 was off to a strong start with the massive release of Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, which has now become one of the biggest titles of this year. The game went on to sell 3 million copies within just 3 months.
Previously becoming Steam’s top 50 most popular games of all time, the RPG continues to score new achievements. Over at Steam, Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 still claims the 5th spot among the best-sellers 25 weeks after its release, which is a massive accomplishment.
Why it matters: It’s not usual for gamers on an AA scale to witness this level of success. Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 is a testament to developers and publishers that quality can still be achieved within budget when passion drives the project.
Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Sitting Comfortably As The 5th Best-Selling Game On Steam || Source: SteamDB
Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 is right behind other titles like Peak, Ready or Not, Mage Arena, and Dead by Daylight. It’s impressive for a single-player game to retain a position in the top 5.
Currently, the game averages around 10k players a day and is on sale for just a little over $30 on Steam. The game’s resounding success can be highlighted with its good optimisation, one of the most well-written narratives, and a course an unorthodox RPG gameplay that struck a chord with many.
As such, the game has a solid chance of winning the GOTY award this year. Sir Hans Capon’s voice actor seems to be confident in securing the award now that GTA 6 has been pushed to 2026 with little competition left behind.
Developer Warhorse Studio isn’t done with the game either. The game’s second DLC expansion, Legacy of the Forge, is set for a reveal at Gamescom later this year, with a possible release date soon after.
What are your thoughts on this impressive achievement by Kingdom Come Deliverance 2? Have you played the game? If yes, then did you like it? Share with us in the comments section or at the official Tech4Gamers Forums.

Story Highlight
Hangar 13 studio president says a $50 price tag for Mafia: The Old Country won’t compromise the game’s quality and length.
Players can still expect a AAA-quality release with the new entry.
The president further suggested that the game would have the same style of experience as the first two Mafia games.
In an era where most AAA games cost $70 or even $80 in some cases, 2K Games is breaking away from such a trend with their latest iteration in the Mafia franchise priced at just $50.
As such, fans were concerned whether the developer Hangar 13 would compromise on the game’s length or even the quality. The studio’s president has rebuked such claims, assuring fans that the lower price tag won’t affect the quality at all as Mafia: The Old Country still “drips AAA quality”.
Why it matters: Usually, $50 price tags are for AA smaller-scaled games or even multiplayer titles. 2K is setting a precedent for big publishers for offering a blockbuster quality at a competitive price.
Talking to IGN, Hangar 13 studio boss Nick Baynes was asked if fans would be getting their money’s worth following the speculation that the title will offer a short playthrough.
I don’t think anyone’s going to play this game and feel that, “Oh, this is a lower budget game.”
Baynes also added that the dialogue will offer some quality depth, and players can expect a well-detailed world. The studio has taken a linear focus with this new entry, but that doesn’t mean that they will be cutting down the game’s length.
Mafia: The Old Country Offers A More Rural Experience In Contrast To Earlier Entries
Furthermore, the studio boss compared Mafia: The Old Country to Mafia 1 and 2, suggesting they’re on a similar scale. As such, players expecting a similar style experience to the first two games with this new entry will be pretty satisfied.
Despite its lower price tag, ESRB ratings have revealed that the game may feature microtransaction elements. Still, the game’s success is almost guaranteed given its lower price tag, linear story, and action-packed gameplay.
Will you play Mafia: The Old Country when it releases next month? Let us know what you expect from the game in the comments section, or at the official Tech4Gamers Forums.

Design
Let’s take a look at the unit.
Radiator
Radiator Design (Image By Tech4Gamers)
This cooler has a 420mm size radiator. It is made of aluminum material and has an overall dimension of 457x140x52mm. 52mm height includes the fans. This means the radiator has a thickness of 27mm.
The assembly has 12 channels for coolant flow with an FPI count of 20. A gap between two opposite end holes on the main frame is 105mm. Overall build quality is satisfactory and I did not observe any bent or broken fin.
Radiator Tube Connections
Radiator Refil Port
The tubes are in the center of a near block of this radiator. The connection is concealed using clamps. A sticker shows the serial number of the unit.
Like Silent Loop 2 and Pure Loop 2, this cooler also has a refill port. This port is now located near the block of the radiator and features a screw plug that is compatible with a Philips screwdriver. This makes life easy when it comes to servicing the cooler in the long run should the coolant level drop.
Radiator Side Design (Image By Tech4Gamers)
The side frame of the radiator housing has no branding. The far block is not as thick as the near block. The narrow gap between the fin stack and the side mounting frame is visible. This means you should be careful with the length and type of screws to be used on the radiator. So take care and preferably use the bundled screws for fans and radiator.
be quiet! uses a rubber tube with a white nylon braided mesh sleeve. These tubes have a length of 410mm and they are somewhat flexible.
Block
Block Main Design
Block Top Design
The pump housing or block outlook is stunning, bold, and aggressive in a good way. Be quiet! has provided us with something new and refreshing on the design side and I appreciate this change.
The complete assembly is made of ABS material and is black-finished. There is no branding on any side of the housing. This design has offset under the base.
The top of this housing features a line pattern running on entire length. It is partitioned using a cover in the center. This cover has a be quiet! branding. This cover is fixed and this limits the orientation of the block.
There is a diffuser sandwiched between the A-RGB LEDs and the top-line pattern element. The A-RGB lighting is subtle to my liking.
Block Tube Side
Block Cable Connectors
The rear of the block has 90ᵒ fittings on which the tubes are attached. This gives you the flexibility to adjust the tubes to some extent as per the requirement. Two single flat cables come out of the housing.
The pump is regulated using a 4-pin PWM connector. The pump is rated for 3500 RPM speed. The other connector is 5V, 3-Pin A-RGB for the A-RGB LEDs.
Block Screw
Block Base
You can see two screws that are pre-installed on the block. Be quiet! is using a 2-point mounting mechanism on this cooler which is what I saw on the Pure Loop 2 360 and Silent Loop 2 360.
The base on this cooler is nickel-plated copper. It has a dimension of 54x41mm approximately. You can see an offset design towards the base. There is a protective sticker pasted over the base. Don’t forget to peel it off.
Be quiet! has used a three-chamber design for the pump. The cold plate has a large size and it has a high-density fin stack that helps improve the cooling performance. The pump is dampened as well. It uses a 6-pole motor.
Silent Wings 4 140mm PWM Fans
Fan Front
Fan Mounts
Be quiet! has used three flagship high-performance fans with this generation. This cooler comes with three Silent Wings 4 PWM High-Speed fans. Each fan has 7x blades. These blades have a striped design and they have reduced tip clearance from the frame. This provides sustained air pressure to provide high air flow. There is a ring circulating the blades. The funnel is now moved towards the rear of the fan.
These fans feature a unique feature. The anti-vibration mounts are removable and swappable. The fans with this cooler come with radiator mounts only which makes sense since these are to be used over the radiator only. This would reduce costs as well since these fans are expensive.
Fan Side
Fan Rear
Arrow markers on the side frame show the direction of airflow through the fan assembly and the direction in which the blades spin.
The backside has a 4-arm assembly. These arms are in a curved layout for focused airflow. These fans use Fluid Dynamic Bearings with a life span of 300,000 hours. The Pro version of these fans comes with a speed slider which is not available with these fans.
PWM Connector (Image By Tech4Gamers)
Each fan is PWM regulated using a 4-Pin PWM connector.
Installation
CPU Installation (Image By Tech4Gamers)
The cooler is tested on MSI MEG Z790 ACE MAX motherboard using Intel Core i7 13700k. The installation steps include:
Prepare the backplate using Intel screws and O-rings.
Place the backplate on the motherboard’s backside.
Use Intel Spacer Nuts to secure the backplate on the motherboard.
Place the Intel mounting brackets on top of the Intel Spacer Nuts.
Secured these mounting brackets using the 4x screws.
Apply the thermal paste on the CPU.
Remove the protective cover from the base of the cooler.
Place the block on the CPU aligning the 2x screws on the block with the holes on the mounting brackets.
Start tightening the screws until threads run out.
Install fans over the radiator.
Install the radiator assembly in the PC case.
Connect the RGB cable to the motherboard.
Connect the 4-pin PWM connector cable from the Pump to the water_pump or AIO_pump header of the motherboard.
Daisy-Chain the fans and connect the 4-pin connector to the CPU_Fan header of the motherboard. You can use any 4-pin header provided it suffices to the combined power of three fans.
Installation is completed.
Clearance
There are a few cases in the market that support a 420mm liquid cooler. This cooler has a dimension of 457x140x52mm with fans. Make sure your PC Case supports this dimension.
A-RGB Lighting
This cooler uses a standard 5V, 3-Pin A-RGB connector on the pump housing making it compatible with RGB sync technology of motherboard manufacturers including:
ASUS Aura Sync
ASROCK-Polychrome Sync
GIGABYTE RGB Fusion 2.0
MSI Mystic Light Sync
The cooler was tested on an MSI MEG Z790 ACE MAX WiFi motherboard and it was responding well to the changed in the Mystic Sync app. Here are a few pictures.

Thermal Test Results (Image By Tech4Gamers)
Be quiet! Silent Loop 3 420 comes on top of the graph but with just 1ᵒC difference telling us that any high-performance 360mm cooler is capable of giving a tough time to this cooler. Still, a win is a win.
This cooler was doing 42.5 dB(A) which is quite good with three fans running at full speed.
Should You Buy It?
Buy It If
✅You want a high-performance: There is no denying that this is a high-performance cooler offering a top-notch performance.
✅You have an AMD Threadripper: This cooler comes with AMD threadripper mounting hardware making it an ideal for this socket’s high thermal load design.
✅You love minimalistic lighting: This cooler is a perfect blend of an all-black theme with minimalistic A-RGB lighting. You can even turn the lighting off to enjoy a full classy look of this cooler.
Don’t Buy It If
❌You don’t have a compatible case: This cooler has a 420mm size. Make sure your case can house this size liquid cooler and can accommodate 457x140x52mm overall dimension.
❌You are still on LGA20XX socket: This cooler is not compatible with Intel LGA20xx socket. Skip it if you are on this socket.
Final Words
I have tested the Silent Loop 3 420 liquid cooler from be quiet! This is their new generation, high-performance AIO cooler. This cooler features aluminum radiator having a size of 457x140x52mm with fans. Its thickness is 27mm without fans. It is compatible with Intel LGA115x / 1200 / 1700 / 1851 and AMD AM4 / AM5 / TR5 / sTRX4 / TR4 sockets.
This radiator has a refill port and there is a 100ml coolant bottle included to service this cooler in the long run. The nylon braided-sleeved rubber tubes have a length of 410mm. The pump is rated for a 3500 RPM speed and is PWM regulated.
The pump housing has a bold, stylish outlook. It features subtle A-RGB lighting on the top. The be quiet! branding text over the top is fixed. This limits the orientation of the cooler. Be quiet! has used a three-chamber pump design with a revised cold plate to maximize the performance.
This cooler comes with three flagship fans namely Silent Wings 4 PWM High Speed. They feature removable mounting corners as per the required installation and have a reduced tip clearance from the frame to provide sustained high pressure while delivering the airflow.
Their speed rating is up to 1900 RPM. The airflow rating is 78.4 CFM at 12VDC. The air pressure rating is 2.36mmH₂O at 12VDC. Be quiet! uses Fluid Dynamic Bearings with a life span of 300,000 hours. These fans are PWM regulated.
Installation of this cooler is no different than the Silent Loop 2 or Pure Loop 2. I was hoping for a more streamlined revised mounting mechanism. I have tested this cooler on an Intel LGA1700 socket. It requires 19 items to install the block over the CPU.
Be quiet! Silent Loop 3 420 has an MSRP of USD 174.90 | Euro 174.90. This is a steep price. Probably the high price of fans is a contributing factor here. This cooler has a good performance albeit marginal when compared to the high-performance 360mm coolers. Again, the pricing would be important to determine the overall value.

Nvidia is planning new RTX 50 Super graphics cards with significantly more VRAM.
This lineup consists of the RTX 5070 Super, RTX 5070 Ti Super, and RTX 5080 Super and was expected to launch next year.
A new report reveals that Nvidia has now decided on a Q4 2025 launch window for all three GPUs.
Nvidia’s RTX 50 lineup is half a year old now, but it does not have the best reputation. Between problems like low VRAM, driver failures, and more, much of the excitement regarding the latest graphics card family has been hampered since its release.
Nvidia appears to have a plan in place to address at least one of the persistent issues with the Blackwell gaming series. Previous rumors of the RTX 50 Super series confirmed additional VRAM for Nvidia GPUs, and a new report now outlines a Fall 2025 launch for these GPUs.
Why it matters: Games are now more VRAM-intensive than ever, and even AMD is set to ditch 8GB graphics cards moving forward.
Nvidia Is Finally Addressing Its VRAM Problem With The Super Series
A direct report from TweakTown states that Team Green is targeting a Holiday or Q4 2025 launch for the new GPUs. This is interesting since previous speculations had led many to believe that the new graphics cards would arrive in 2026 at the earliest.
Although this would undoubtedly be a shift away from past releases of Super lineups, Nvidia also followed a different approach with its standard RTX 50 offerings this year. All the Blackwell gaming products, including the RTX 5050, were released within six months compared to past generations that were more spread out.
The RTX 40 Super series also launched well over a year after the RTX 4090’s initial debut. Anyhow, this early release could be good news for those in need of an upgrade for their gaming PCs.
For context, the RTX 5070, RTX 5070 Ti, and RTX 5080 are set to receive Super models. VRAM will be the key selling point for all the Super variants, with past leaks indicating as much as 50% more VRAM for each Blackwell gaming graphics card.
The RTX 5070 Super is expected to feature 16GB of memory, while the RTX 5070 Ti and 5080 Super are expected to receive 24GB of memory. This will make the latest Super models significantly more future-proof than Nvidia’s offerings from the last five years, excluding those belonging to the 90-tier GPUs.
At T4G, my task is to cover the latest news around the gaming globe ASAP and with the utmost precision. I adore all the games and respect all the devs behind the amazing games that we get all year. So, whether it’s a PC or a Console game, I got it all covered.

The Witcher 4 senior developer admits that he questions how to top the Witcher 3.
But he thinks this is highly subjective, and some could like a title while others won’t.
CDPR is using old The Witcher 3 philosophies with new tech for The Witcher 4.
The Witcher 3 is often considered the Holy Grail of RPGs. Featuring a breathtaking world, incredible narratives, and memorable characters, the game set the tone for the future games in the genre, and CDPR admits it wonders how they’ll top all that.
A senior developer on The Witcher 4 has admitted that he does think of how they can top The Witcher 3. However, most of the acclaim in those thoughts is subjective, and there is no mathematical way to assess this.
Why it matters: This is a question many fans ask, too: How will CDPR build on the legacy of its last title in the franchise? While the developers think about these things as well, they seem to have navigated through it.
The Witcher 3 is considered the gold standard for RPGs
Talking to GamesRadar, The Witcher 4 narrative director Philipp Weber talked about how people question on the internet about how the title will match the brilliance of the last one, and this is something he thought about as well.
I’m like ‘yeah, how are we going to do that (On topping the Witcher 3)?
– Philipp Weber
However, to focus on the matter at hand, Weber has managed to convince himself that the experience a person gets from a game is highly subjective. While one could absolutely love something, the other could hate it as well.
The Witcher 4 will have to do a lot to continue the legacy
Nonetheless, the team wants to stick to the same formula they did with The Witcher 3. He says The Witcher 4 will be a great mix of the old philosophies combined with the new things they are trying, and it’s going to be great.
We saw a tech demo for The Witcher 4 last month, which was praised by everybody. If the final product does have the same quality as that, we are in for a visual treat, and about the narrative, CDPR has hardly ever failed to hit the mark.

Looking back at their previous variant, the Deathadder V3 Pro was released 3 years before this one. And if we take a look at the design, it is very similar to the previous one, with only a few noticeable changes.
Same Dimensions & Shape
It has the exact same shape and dimensions as the previous one, with a 128mm length, 68mm hip width, 61mm of grip width, 19mm of click height, and 44mm of hump height. Now, if you’re annoyed that the design hasn’t changed, it has been kept the same for a reason.
Side Buttons Changed
Firstly, the side buttons have been made a bit thicker, and they now have a gap in between them. Seeing the new wave of mice with this sort of layout, many people prefer it, and that might be the reason Razer decided to put it in this mouse as well.

Sense of Familiarty > Novelty
Razer already had success with the previous Deathadder lineup, and so the people who loved it would feel at home with the same design and shape. And if you know Razer’s market understanding and dominance from their Kitty headphone, you’d know how Razer knows how to cater to their market.
Reduced Weight
Despite the same shape and dimensions, what changed was the weight. The Deathadder V4 Pro now features a reduced weight of approximately 56.4 grams, a 7-8 gram reduction compared to its predecessor.
No Creeking
What’s surprising is that they’ve managed to do that while making the mouse of heavier and denser materials. They’ve designed the internal structure in a way that it holds the mechanism intact, preventing any creaking when you press it firmly or squeeze it.

Huge Upgrade In Switches
One of the biggest changes is the switches. Now, Razer has opted for the Razer optical Gen 4, which has been completely redesigned from the ground up. The internal springs are thinner, giving 12% lighter actuation force for quick spamming.
More Compact
Additionally, these are visibly smaller, precisely 30% smaller than the previous Gen 3 switches. Razer specified that they will last up to 1 million clicks, and the best part about them is their rigid feeling when you press them.
No Post Or Pre-Travel
There is almost no paddle shift or wobble, and there is no post or pre-travel with these switches. Now the sound of it has been changed, where it isn’t as loud as the one found in the Logitech Superlight Pro X, but it is also not as silent as the Viper V3 Pro.

Optical Scroll Wheel
This mouse now has an optical scroll wheel, which not only increases its life span but also eliminates ghost scrolls and miscycles. Now, the mouse click switch is still mechanical, and it would have been better if it were also optical.
Other Changes
Now comes the best part, the sensor. The Razer Deathadder V4 Pro features a 45K Razer Focus Pro Gen 2, which is a big upgrade from the 35K Pro sensor used in the previous model.
Sensor, Latency & Battery
Not only does it go up to 45,000 DPI with 8K polling rate but it also has a 99.8% sensor resolution accuracy. Compared to their previous gen sensors, it is now 63% more power efficient and has 37% lower latency.

If you compare it with other gaming mice, it is currently the fastest gaming mouse in terms of latency. Speaking of battery, its 300mAh battery will last you a whopping 150 hours without charging.
Redesigned Dongle
We can’t go without mentioning the new dongle that comes with the Razer DeathAdder V4 Pro. Unlike the previous model, it isn’t a square shape but is now in a hemisphere shape. Now, the antenna inside it has been redesigned to achieve 30% better transmission between the mouse and the dongle.
There are also three LEDs present in front of it, giving you information at a glance for your connection, battery, and polling rate, respectively. Each metric on each mode is denoted with its designated color, which you can use to tally the info.

Sensor Angle Adjustment
For the software, Razer included a sensor angle adjustment. Most mice had a problem with straight lines being a bit skewed, and with this, you can adjust the rotation of the angle to make it perfectly straight, which improves your aim significantly.
Verdict
While the Razer Deathadder V4 Pro doesn’t look and feel new right out of the box, all the changes made are done behind the scenes, internally. I believe it is a great upgrade from Raze, which will be loved by the masses, just like the previous ones.

Story Highlights
AI upscaling to boost graphical quality and performance has become very common these days.
Having support for this software allows for wide accessibility on different hardware, both old and new.
To cope with the high graphics requirements these software’s can be a major help.
As games progress, they require more computational power and stronger hardware to run. One thing that all gamers yearn for is good graphics and FPS. However, as games have become more advanced it has become harder for even the latest GPUs to keep up with their high demands.
Modern games now require DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) and FSR (FidelityFX Super Resolution) to ensure proper running and performance of even the heaviest of titles.
What are DLSS and FSR?
DLSS is a software that was brought to existence by NVIDIA. DLSS software boosts a games visual quality and performance by making use of AI upscaling methods. It makes the game seem as if it was rendered in high resolution.
On the other hand, FSR is a similar software from AMD. This software makes use of special upscaling and frame generation techniques without using any AI. FSR works on a wide variety of hardware making it an excellent choice for developers and gamers alike.
Both software’s lessen the strain on your GPU. Both FSR and DLSS allow for crisp visuals with minimal energy consumption. They allow players to have a feel of ultra-HD graphics without them needing to purchase heavy hardware. Both act as background support for your GPU and by working hand in hand they can provide a stunning experience.
Games Now Demand More
Hardware these days is being pushed to the limit by modern games. These games demand high graphics with realistic lighting and fast open world rendering such as seen in Cyberpunk 2077 and Starfield. Even the heaviest of hardware may fall short when running games at 4k with raytracing on. This may cause a drop in frame rates which none of us like.
Now this is where DLSS and FSR come into play. They help regain your frame rate by making use of upscaling and frame generation techniques. Old hardware? no problem! because these tools let players enjoy high resolution gaming on mid-range or even old hardware. This helps make new game titles accessible to a wider audience and helps sell more copies.
Improvements in Upscaling Tech
NVIDIA’s DLSS has gone through several updates. Currently, we are onDLSS 3.5, which has a frame generation feature.What this means is that the system can generate new frames in between existing ones, helping to boost performance. Think of it as the software filling the gaps that the hardware had left behind.

DLSS and FSR are no longer just features; they allow smart rendering. Instead of making hardware more powerful, gamers and developers can simply utilize these software’s to upscale the graphical quality of games.
What these software’s do is that they create the illusion of high-quality graphics without demanding too much from the GPU. This helps reduce the energy consumed and heat generated and helps your overall system to last significantly longer. Instead of overclocking your hardware you can now simply use these.
FSR has also improved with its latest version, FSR 3, including its version of frame rate generation.As it works on almost all modern GPUs, it gives developers an easy way to support more players.
Multi-Platform Support and Easy to Use
These software’s help both developers and gamers. FSR works on most GPUs including AMD, NVIDIA and Intel products. DLSS however, is bound to NVIDIAs RTX series but still manages to cover a large portion of the gaming market.
A few years ago, incorporating these software’s into games was hard. But now both software’s are supported by many companies and games acting as a means to better quality.
To boost immersion in games developers, use better visuals. This may take too much out of your hardware, so DLSS and FSR act as support. In 2025 there is absolutely no need for games to not incorporate these software’s as they help improve the frame rate quality of games significantly.
Games that do not implement these features are at a disadvantage as gamers want options. They want the ability to max out their games’ graphics without putting too much strain on their hardware.

As first spotted by Reuters, Sony filed a lawsuit for copyright and trademark infringement. The gaming giant had the following statement to make regarding Tencent and its game, Light of Motiram.
Tencent’s copying of Horizon is so blatant that the public has described it as ‘crazy,’ ‘insane,’ and ‘shameless,’
Sony also revealed that Tencent approached the gaming giant with a pitch to license the Horizon IP, which was denied. Still, Tencent’s interest in the Horizon games didn’t subside, prompting them to develop a derivative title.
Furthermore, Sony also claims that Tencent is causing “irreparable damage” to them with this game, and is trying to prevent the game’s release.
Tencent is deliberately causing numerous game lovers to confuse Light of Motiram as the next game in the Horizon series
As a result, Sony is seeking statutory damages of $150,000 for each separate work of infringement, which could amount to a substantial sum. Unlike Nintendo and Palworld’s lawsuit, this case appears to have a clear winner, which would be Sony.
