I just spent $6 on this Steam app that compresses PC games — and it’s already saved me 100GB

The acquisition of the Steam application CompressorX allows gamers to compress game files, maximizing existing storage without needing hardware upgrades. Modern games like The Last of Us Part II Remastered (150GB), Monster Hunter Wilds (75GB), and Cyberpunk 2077 with its Phantom Liberty expansion (100GB) contribute to high storage demands. External SSDs and hard drives provide additional space, but CompressorX offers a quick solution for optimizing current storage. While it has some quirks, such as a confusing automation feature and variable compression times, it helps gamers maintain their game libraries without deleting titles.

Don’t expect Minecraft to go free-to-play anytime soon, as Mojang says “It doesn’t really work with the way we built it”

Minecraft is the best-selling game of all time, maintaining its popularity since its launch in 2011. It has remained a paid title while other games have shifted to a free-to-play model. Minecraft has consistently been on the Nintendo Switch eShop's best-selling list since its 2017 release. Mojang producer Ingela Garneij stated that the game's design and monetization strategy were intended as a one-time purchase, calling it "the best deal in the world." A Minecraft movie featuring Jack Black is in development. The name Minecraft: Pocket Edition was inspired by the Nintendo Game Boy Pocket.

AMD’s most powerful processor ever actually runs better on Windows 10 than Windows 11

Recent benchmarks indicate that AMD's Ryzen 9 9950X3D performs better on Windows 10 than on Windows 11. In gaming tests, it achieved 729 fps on Windows 10 compared to 710 fps on Windows 11, with a further decline when virtualization-based security (VBS) was enabled. For example, in Fortnite, it recorded 591 fps on Windows 10 and 541 fps on Windows 11, with VBS causing a 9.2% performance drop. Other games also showed similar discrepancies between the two operating systems. A custom-tuned version of Windows 11 24H2 did not outperform a standard installation of Windows 10. The Ryzen 9 9950X3D was released on March 12, 2025, and is priced at 9/£699/AU,349. It features 16 cores, but only eight access the 3D V-cache, which may affect its performance compared to the Ryzen 7 9800X3D.
