Windows users have relied on the disk.sys driver for storage management since 2006, which has not changed significantly despite support for NVMe since Windows 8.1. Microsoft has introduced nvmedisk.sys for Windows Server 2025 and a version in Windows 11 25H2, which improves performance by enhancing integration with NVMe technology. Tests show that nvmedisk.sys offers better raw throughput in sequential and random read/write tasks compared to disk.sys, as it removes the legacy SCSI translation layer, reducing overhead and improving latency, particularly on high-end SSDs. However, enabling nvmedisk.sys may cause system instability or boot failures if the SSD controller lacks compatibility, and users are advised to check the current driver in Device Manager and back up data before switching drivers. The new driver is still in a soft launch phase, and there is uncertainty about when it will be available in a stable build.

AMD has soft-launched its graphics technology suite, FSR Redstone, which enhances gaming performance. The number of games supporting FSR4 has increased to over 200 in three months, and AMD is introducing ML-based frame generation for more than 30 titles. FSR4 is now branded as “AMD FSR Upscaling,” integrated into the Redstone framework. FSR Redstone and FSR4 features are exclusive to Radeon RX 9000-series cards, which require activation in the AMD Software application and on a per-game basis. The adoption of the Radeon RX 9070 and 9070 XT cards has been slow, with less than 0.15 percent of PC gamers using them, but they are now available at their original MSRP and have received positive reviews for performance.

Subnautica 2 is currently the most wishlisted title on Steam, following Hollow Knight: Silksong and other anticipated releases. It is facing a legal dispute due to a fallout among senior staff at Studio Unknown Worlds, which was acquired by Krafton in 2021. The game was originally set for an early access release this year, but uncertainty has arisen after the replacement of key leadership figures, including CEO Ted Gill and designer Charlie Cleveland. The ousted developers claim their termination was unjust and aimed at avoiding a substantial bonus, while Krafton argues that they failed to meet critical milestones. Other notable titles in the wishlist include Valve's Deadlock, Battlefield 6, Borderlands 4, and Light No Fire.
