Halo: Campaign Evolved PC specs reveal hefty RAM and 100GB install

Halo: Campaign Evolved's PC system requirements were published: minimum specs include Ryzen 5 3600 / i7-10700K, RTX 2060 Super / RX 6600, 16GB RAM, and a 100GB SSD on Windows 11; recommended up to 32GB RAM and GPUs from RTX 3070 / RX 7600 up to RTX 4080 to target 4K60, with notes that performance features like Super Resolution and Frame Generation may help. The 100GB install and high RAM needs mark a fairly demanding setup for this Unreal Engine 5 remake, which launches late next month on Xbox Series X|S, Windows PC, and PS5, with early access via Premium Edition on July 23.

Star Wars Galactic Racer: a physics-focused pod-race dream in UE5

Digital Foundry previews Fuse Games’ Star Wars: Galactic Racer, a UE5-based arcade racer emphasizing physics-driven destruction, thermal terrain effects, and a four-vehicle archetype roster. The game uses photogrammetry and Nanite for high-fidelity environments, with Lumen lighting on PS5/PS5 Pro and Series X, and screen-space reflections for performance. It targets 60fps on base PS5 and Series X, with dynamic TSR upscaling (PS5 Pro uses PSSR) and a broad upscaling toolkit (DLSS 4.5, XeSS, FSR 4). PC configurations including RTX 4090 can push high frame rates (around 150fps with frame generation and ray reconstruction), while Series S prioritizes lightmass probes for balance. Notably, collisions trigger Burnout-style takedowns, and environmental heat and cold influence vehicle performance. An early look suggests a promising blend of nostalgia and modern tech ahead of the October 6 launch, with ongoing polish planned.

CD Projekt: Lost faith is fair, redemption may come with Witcher 4

CD Projekt joint-CEO Michał Nowakowski said it’s fair that the studio ‘lost the faith’ of some players after Cyberpunk 2077’s troubled launch, but he remains hopeful they can win fans back with The Witcher 4 or future titles. He also noted a shift from Red Engine to Unreal Engine 5 for Witcher 4, describing the post-launch period as painful yet educational; Cyberpunk 2077 has since sold over 35 million copies.

Ocarina of Time UE5 Fan Project Ends Ahead of Official Remake

CryZENx has ended his long-running Unreal Engine 5 fan remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time after about a decade, citing that an official remake is already in development as the reason to stop. Nintendo did not issue a C&D. All previous demos remain downloadable, and CryZENx plans to shift to another project (likely Twilight Princess) with a final video showcasing Chapters 2/3 as a goodbye.

No Law Bets on Density Over Scale in Its Cyberpunk City

Neon Giant’s No Law is pitched as a dense, living cyberpunk open world for Xbox Series X|S, prioritizing handcrafted detail over map size. It uses Unreal Engine 5’s Nanite for surface fidelity, the Mass Framework to drive thousands of NPCs (over 3,000 simultaneously), and MetaHuman variations to keep characters unique, with weather and time shaping the city. Release window is 2027.

No Law Aims for Dense, Detail-Rich Cyberpunk City on PS5

Neon Giant’s No Law for PS5 trades size for density, aiming to pack a highly detailed, reactive cyberpunk city into each street with a dynamic lighting/weather system and 3,000+ NPCs. Built on Unreal Engine 5 by a ~20-person team, it’s pitched as a story-driven RPG shooter rather than a sprawling map, with a release window not yet set (2027 seems plausible).

Arm’s Android DLSS Rival Shines in Neural Dawn, Powered by MegaLights

Arm unveils a DLSS-style mobile upscaling and AI-denoising stack—NSS, NSSD, and NFRU—paired with Unreal Engine 5.5 MegaLights in a full mobile title, Neural Dawn, developed with Sumo Digital. The tech runs on the latest Arm hardware with Mali GPUs to enable advanced lighting, frame generation, and real-time previews on mobile; Neural Dawn spans about two hours across four levels and was completed by a lean team in ~18 months. Arm says neural graphics can boost visuals without exceeding power and thermal limits and plans a Q4 launch on current devices, with open developer tools and assets to help others adopt the tech.

Gears of War: E-Day Dials Back Wall Bouncing in Unreal 5 Reboot

Gears of War: E-Day is retooling multiplayer by largely removing wall bouncing after a full Unreal Engine 5 rebuild, adding jumping and a traditional sprint with slide-into-cover while keeping some wall-canceling options. The change aims for a tighter, chaos-driven cover shooter experience and the game releases October 6 on Xbox and PC (not PS5).

Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis Director Frames Generative AI as Visualization Tool for UE5 Remake

Crystal Dynamics’ Jeff Adams says generative AI will be used as a visualization tool during early level design for Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis; if an AI-generated concept works, it moves into the traditional pipeline and all final content remains human-crafted, with the game due February 12, 2027 on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch 2, and PC; the studio emphasizes they’re using AI to speed up decision-making, not replace human work, and they did not disclose deeper AI specifics ahead of release.

Halo: Campaign Evolved Struggles to Break 100 FPS on RTX 5090 at 1440p Ultra

Halo: Campaign Evolved, moving from Slipspace to Unreal Engine 5, runs on an RTX 5090 at 1440p Ultra around 90–100 FPS (about 120 FPS only in interior areas). This underlines that even the top consumer GPU isn’t delivering 100+ FPS consistently at this resolution on launch, and higher targets like 4K 60 will likely require upscaling or future engine optimizations. The game uses an older UE5 build lacking newer features like Lumen 60, with a July 28 release date noted.
