Stellar Blade is set to run smoother than ever on PC as its multi-frame generation support promises to triple its frame rate, as long as you have the pricey hardware needed
Nearly a year after its original launch, there's not too much longer to wait for Stellar Blade to launch on PC, and it's now been confirmed that the action RPG will support the latest Nvidia tech on day one to make its frame rate juicier than ever.
Ahead of the PC port's release in June, Nvidia has confirmed that Stellar Blade will immediately support DLSS 4. For anyone with compatible hardware (specifically, the pricey GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs), the game will also boast Nvidia's new Multi Frame Generation tech that can generate "up to three additional frames per traditionally rendered frame."
Basically, it'll look extra smooth, and in the comparison trailer below, you can see the frame rate triple up to the high 300s at times, allowing the action to flow better than ever. This staggering fps isn't entirely consistent, but you can rely on it being significantly higher than the native frame rate (which, for what it's worth, also looks great in the video, falling around the 100-130fps range).
Beyond the Multi Frame Generation, Nvidia confirms in a blog post that Stellar Blade's DLSS 4 support means you can use Super Resolution to "further enhance image quality," while you can expect responsiveness to be improved by Nvidia Reflex (which reduces latency).
Unrelated to all the tech details, Stellar Blade's crossover DLC with Goddess of Victory – Nikke (also developed by Shift Up) is arriving in June, too. Although it's not clear exactly what that'll contain at this point, you can certainly look forward to some new outfits for Eve, like the 2B costume added in the NieR: Automata collab DLC.
It'll be interesting to see where Stellar Blade goes beyond this. Last May, it was revealed that Shift Up was already considering a sequel, and considering how popular the game has been, it'd really be no surprise if this happened. Kicking off this year, all of Shift Up's employees were reportedly given a $3,400 bonus and a PS5 Pro, so clearly, they were very happy with how things went last year.

Prediction: Nvidia Stock Will Be Worth This Much by the End of 2025
Key Points Nvidia stock experienced an intense sell-off earlier this year, driven by uncertainty around tariffs and competition in China. Rising infrastructure spending by its largest customers suggests that demand remains strong across the artificial intelligence (AI) landscape. Despite a strong rebound over the last few months, valuation trends suggest that emerging AI opportunities may not be fully reflected in the share price yet. 10 stocks we like better than Nvidia › This year has been an emotional roller coaster for shareholders of Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA). Following the news of new tariffs, in combination with intensifying competition in China, the company's shares plummeted by as much as 30% earlier this year, wiping out nearly $1 trillion in market value. Such precipitous declines may have suggested that Nvidia's best days were in the rearview mirror, but the stock's more recent performance says otherwise. As of Aug. 7, it had rebounded by 93% from its 2025 lows and now has a market capitalization of $4.4 trillion, making it the most valuable company in the world. With such strong momentum fueling the stock to new highs, is it too late to invest in Nvidia? Read on to find out. Big tech is spending big bucks on Nvidia's chips Nvidia's largest source of revenue is its computing and networking business. This segment comprises the company's data center services and highly coveted graphics processing units (GPUs). A good way to gauge the health of its business is to look at spending on artificial intelligence (AI). The chart below illustrates capital expenditures over the last three years for cloud hyperscalers Amazon, Microsoft, and Alphabet, along with social media company Meta Platforms. These "Magnificent Seven" companies prove that accelerating AI infrastructure spending is a powerful tailwind for Nvidia's chip empire. Beyond the usual tech titan suspects, rising adoption of cloud infrastructure services from Oracle -- as well as neocloud platforms such as Nebius Group and CoreWeave -- offer another source for GPU demand, especially for Nvidia's latest Blackwell architecture. Neoclouds are gaining interest at the moment as they offer flexible software-hardware stacks in the form of high-performance computing (HPC) services and access to GPU clusters via cloud-based infrastructures. New opportunities are emerging Over the last few years, investors have repeatedly heard pundits chirp about the importance of data centers in powering generative AI development. This point is valid, but I think many investors are missing the broader picture when it comes to the evolution of AI infrastructure spending. A new phase of AI adoption involves sophisticated workloads across robotics, autonomous driving, and quantum computing. Companies such as Alphabet and Tesla are beginning to monetize their autonomous vehicles, while Microsoft, Alphabet, and Amazon are all developing their own custom quantum computing chips. Nvidia has just started to scale up its chips and CUDA software platform across these emerging opportunities. Given the company's existing deep integration with big tech, I'm optimistic that its product suite will still be crucial in future, more-advanced AI development. What will Nvidia stock be worth by the end of 2025? The chart below illustrates the company's forward price-to-earnings (P/E) multiple throughout the AI revolution. Given the trends cited above, the forward P/E range between 24 and 30 could be seen as a support zone or valuation floor for Nvidia. Each time its forward P/E dipped into this range, the stock has rebounded strongly. To me, this suggests that investors still see robust long-term growth for the company despite occasional fleeting periods of souring sentiment. I think these valuation trends subtly imply that the market could be underestimating the full breadth of Nvidia's ubiquitous platform. Despite the company's influence across AI infrastructure, many investors still view it purely through the lens of a semiconductor business. As these new opportunities are realized, I think the stock is well positioned for a prolonged breakout -- similar to the initial wave of AI-driven enthusiasm a couple of years ago. Although its forward P/E is fast-approaching prior highs, I think there is a solid case to be made that the company is positioned for further valuation expansion and could reach or exceed historical levels. My logic is that the monetization potential of future opportunities in robotics, autonomous vehicles, and quantum computing is still taking shape and not yet fully priced into the stock by investors. If Nvidia's current forward P/E expands to levels congruent with prior highs by the end of the year, the stock could blow past the $200 price point and reach closer to $220 -- implying an increase between 10% and 20% over current price levels. For this reason, I think Nvidia stock will be trading significantly higher by the end of the year than where it is today. Do the experts think Nvidia is a buy right now?

CBS Has Said Canceling Stephen Colbert's Show Was 'Financial.' What Does The Average American Think?
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. As the supposed fallout of the Paramount/Skydance merger continues, the 2025 TV schedule is the beginning of the end for CBS's The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. With Colbert's surprise cancellation still lingering, and the corporate players proclaiming the move as a 'financial decision,' the validity of that motive has been questioned by not only celebrities and fellow late night hosts, but also the American public. A new poll reported by Yahoo seems to back that viewpoint, as the axing of The Late Show lead to some interesting data. Perhaps the most telling result are the top two results that pollsters pegged for why Paramount/CBS cancelled the almost 10 year program; as well as its legendary late night fixture. 40% of Americans disapproved of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert's cancellation. 35% of Americans surveyed think that Stephen Colbert is 'about right' in sociopolitical content (versus 28% saying he's "too political," and another 3% saying he's "not political enough.") 37% of responses expressed that 'Paramount is trying to curry favor with Trump administration.' 36% agreeing that another cause was 'Stephen Colbert is too critical of Donald Trump.' Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Fallon are tied at 25% for the title of "favorite late-night show host." By the numbers, it would appear that 'the Average American' does not feel that The Late Show with Stephen Colbert's reported financial losses are truly the cause of its cancellation. Which aligns with some of the opinions we've seen from other late night notables. One such example would be Andy Cohen's remarks about the CBS cancellation, in which the Watch What Happens host offered a breakdown of what he felt would have been a more financially motivated strategy. Meanwhile, Skydance CEO David Ellison's alleged feelings on CBS personalities acting 'like they're the IP' poses a counterpoint that appears to be acting in the name of 'fundamentals.' Yet if you trust former Late Show with David Letterman producer Rob Burnett's thoughts, he might tell you the perceived threat to the Paramount/Skydance merger was the true problem. For all of the inside baseball discourse that exists around Stephen Colbert's May 2026 departure, the 'true cause' has certainly seemed to be up for debate. And that debate has hit every corner of the interwebs, from celebrities to the audiences watching at home. As the discourse continues to run around the Internet, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert will continue running -- for at least a few more months -- in its usual 11:35 PM ET slot on CBS, with new episodes heading to streaming for those with a Paramount+ subscription after they've aired.
