Launch Day Meets A Changing Gaming Landscape

Gaming isn’t just releasing new titles today.

It’s facing a turning point.

Survival Horror Returns

Resident Evil Requiem launches today.

More than 5 million wishlists before release.

That’s not marketing.

That’s demand.

And its arrival alongside new hardware marks a shift toward a new generation of play.

The Silent Battle

Behind the screens, something bigger is happening.

Nvidia confirmed that gaming chip shortages will last until the end of 2026.

Because AI now competes for the same resources.

Power is no longer just about performance.

It’s about availability.

Innovation Slows

Qualcomm has stepped back from unveiling new gaming handhelds at GDC.

Not by choice.

But by constraint.

Components are scarce.

Memory is limited.

The pipeline tightens.

A Cultural Marker

At the same time, Pokémon turns 30.

From cartridges to global phenomenon.

A new Pokémon Presents is expected today.

And expectations are high.

The Competitive Edge

Tomorrow, Valorant Masters begins.

Twelve teams.

One stage.

Global attention.

In Summary

A major release arrives while the industry quietly confronts its limits.

Innovation meets constraint, legacy meets expectation, and competition moves forward regardless.

The moment feels less like progress — and more like a test of what comes next.
