ASUS and Nvidia Both Say that the RTX 5070 Ti Is Not Dead, At Least Not Yet

His studio, Kojima Productions, is partnering with Asus. Also, the gear from Asus won't feature Kojima's face but will instead incorporate the "Ludens" design that Kojima Productions is kind of known for (the skeleton man in the space suit).

Microsoft isn't satisfied with the performance yet.

Production on a first-party handheld Xbox device has reportedly been put on hold. Jez Corden from Windows Central claims that Microsoft is sidelining the handheld in order to work on improving Windows 11 gaming performance, particularly for third-party handheld devices.

Now, Asus is getting into the handheld gaming market with their newly announced ROG Ally.

Asus chose April Fools to be the day when they made the announcement, but it's going to be a very real device. You can already...
