  • Nvidia’s GeForce Now will support Cyberpunk 2077 upon the game’s release in September 2020. That’s because as PC Gamer reports, CD Projekt has previously indicated that Cyberpunk 2077 won’t arrive on Stadia until after it’s launched on PC and console. But that was announced before the game was delayed until September – previously Cyberpunk 2077 was due to launch in April – so this situation may have changed. Whatever the case, it will definitely be coming to Google’s game streaming service at so

  • A recent PS5 ‘leak’ has apparently revealed the specs of the newest PlayStation 5 dev kit – but we don’t believe it for a second.

These specs also line up with rumors that the Xbox Series X is more powerful than the PS5, although the PS5 will apparently beat it out when i
