GungHo and Falcom have released Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter worldwide, marking Falcom's first multi-platform release globally and its first internal PC port in several years.

Graphics options allow players to adjust draw distance, level of detail, light and shadow maps, and more. New features include a "resume from latest save" option.

Konami announced the remake of Metal Gear Solid 3, titled Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, using Unreal Engine 5. The game is capped at 60FPS by default and supports AMD's FSR 3.0 and NVIDIA's DLSS 4, but does not natively support Frame Generation. Benchmark tests showed that at 1080p with Ultra Settings, many GPUs maintained 60FPS, with AMD's Radeon RX 9070XT and NVIDIA's RTX 5080 being the minimum requirements. At 1440p, only the RTX 4090 and RTX 5090 achieved 60FPS, while no GPU could maintain 60FPS at Native 4K with Ultra Settings. The game features customizable graphics settings, including Textures, Global Illumination, and Shadows, and is noted for its exceptional visual quality, particularly at Ultra Settings.
