Hey @digitalfoundry.bsky.social @dachsjaeger.bsky.social @dark1x.bsky.social !

Red Dead Redemption 1 "remake" is now out. Can you guys test this with your Frankestein PC too?

It bugs me that the game is "only" 60FPS on Xbox Series X and it would be cool to see real performance. Could it run 120?

The thing about Xbox's strategy is that it's really sound on paper, it really is just whether they can be nimble enough to execute it.

Corporate bureaucracy, legacy Windows problems, and battling AI slop mandates is going to make delivering "Xbox on PC" very hard.

Short form video is killing gaming and the fastest selling console in US history just launched and layoffs are the only answer and multiple franchises are seeing record setting launches and we need to expand use of AI to make more games faster and we've had huge increases in release count each year.

Have you tested to get FSR4 running on Ally X with the unofficial version what you guys tested earlier and get benefits from its NPU already today or do we have to wait official FSR 4 from AMD?
