New PS6 Handheld Rumor Is Already Worrying Players
Sony's rumored new , which will supposedly be part of the PS6 family, may have had one of its specs leaked. A known AMD insider has asked players to temper expectations as the portable device won't be as powerful as the PS5.
The rumor comes from KeplerL2, who was the first person to leak the existence of the upcoming handheld before their report was corroborated by others including Digital Foundry. According to the leaker, the device will pack a 15W system-on-a-chip on 3nm.
In layman's terms, don't expect the PS6 handheld to be on par with the PS5. This doesn't mean that it won't be able to run PS5 games. It'll just do so on lower resolutions and frame rates due to lower memory bandwidth. 'Hard to estimate performance since it's using an unreleased GPU uArch, but I think it's somewhere between Xbox Series S and PS5,' Kepler added.
Although we expected this to be the case, some players have expressed concerns about Sony releasing an 'underpowered' handheld in presence of PC handhelds. However, we doubt that the idea here is to have a portable version of a high-end console or PC that costs an arm and a leg.

5 High-Growth US Stocks Leading the Future of Business
In a digital-first world, technological advancements in businesses are no longer just good-to-have, but a must. From Artificial Intelligence (AI) infrastructure to e-commerce, innovation is driving the next wave of successful business models. Against this backdrop, a select group of US companies has emerged as frontrunners of this wave, demonstrating rising profits and highly-scalable business models. If you aim to catch this wave, here are five US growth stocks worth keeping a close eye on. Uber has proven itself as a resilient incumbent in the industry despite the extremely competitive rideshare landscape. One of the main reasons for this can be attributed to its strategic partnerships. Uber recently announced its collaboration with Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) to develop more sophisticated AI models for its autonomous-driving technology while expanding its operational efficiency. In the first quarter of 2025 (1Q 2025), Uber's revenue rose 14% year-on-year (YoY) to US$11.5 billion. This is underpinned by a year-on-year rise in revenue of 15% and 18% for its mobility and delivery segments, respectively. Uber also showed a 35% year-on-year surge in its adjusted Earnings Before Interest Tax Depreciation and Amortisation (EBITDA). Uber's adjusted EBITDA performance exhibits strong and healthy earnings performance by Uber. It also shows its relevance as a platform in the travel and at-home consumption 2Q 2025, Uber's gross bookings are set to grow about 16% to 20% YoY and its adjusted EBITDA by 29% to 35% YoY. With AI continuing to be the talk of the town, Micron is making strides in solidifying its position in the AI-driven semiconductor chip industry. For 2Q FY2025, Micron's revenue from its High Bandwidth Memory chips grew more than 50% quarter-on-quarter and its data centre Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) chip revenue reached a record high. Micron also has a monopoly, being the sole supplier of low-powered DRAM chips into data centres in large quantities. Micron's newly developed 1-gamma DRAM has also achieved 20% lower power, 15% better performance and over 30% in bit-density as compared to its 1-beta development places Micron in a strategic position to capture the growing demand for memory chips and data centres. In 2Q FY2025, Micron reported a revenue of US$8.05 billion, a 38% YoY increase and a more than two-fold increase in audited net income of US$1.58 billion from US$0.79 billion in 2Q FY2024. For 3Q FY2025, its revenue is projected to be between US$8.6 billion to US$9 billion. Another big player in the AI semiconductor industry is AMD. Unlike Micron, AMD produces processing units and graphic cards for AI and gaming applications. For 1Q 2025, AMD announced solid earnings as revenue increased by 36% YoY, along with an increase in net profit of 476% YoY to US$709 million. For 2Q 2025, AMD projected revenue of between US$7.1 billion to US$7.7 billion. The company's management also announced a US$6 billion share repurchase programme, demonstrating strong confidence in AMD's growth and ability to generate consistent strong free cash flow. With the recent frenzy regarding the US tariffs, it may be surprising to see Amazon, an e-commerce giant, on this in 1Q 2025 the company announced a strong performance with net sales increasing by almost 9% YoY to US$155.7 billion. Its net profit also increased from US$10.4 billion in the first quarter in 2024 to US$17.1 billion in 1Q of the largest contributors was Amazon Web Services (AWS). The cloud service division's revenue saw an increase of 17% YoY to US$29.3 billion as it is less susceptible to tariff threats. Amazon is also leveraging AI by partnering with HUMAIN with a US$5 billion investment to develop an innovation hub for AWS AI infrastructure in Saudi Arabia. Adobe's Creative Cloud and its applications is one of the most recognised tools in the creative industry, from Photoshop to InDesign. Adobe is also improving its AI products such as Adobe Experience Platform Agent Orchestrator which is used to manage AI agents and create more personalised creative content. For 1Q FY2025 ending 28 February 2025, Adobe had a record revenue of US$5.7 billion, a 10% YoY increase. Its net income also increased from US$620 million in 1Q FY2024 to US$1.8 billion in 1Q FY2025. The best performing segment was that of Digital Media, with a revenue of US$4.2 billion, representing an 11% YoY growth. Adobe projected that its 2Q FY2025 revenue will be between US$23.3 billion to US$23.55 billion. As AI and digital innovation continue to redefine the rules of competition, these five companies stand out not just for embracing change — but for turning trends into sustainable growth. These five US growth stocks are not only adapting to the new digitalised economy; they are helping to shape it. For investors seeking scalable, future-ready businesses, now is the time to take notice. Generative AI is reshaping the stock market, but not in the way most investors think.

Everything Announced at PlayStation State of Play in June
On Wednesday, Sony's State of Play online event showcased plenty of trailers of upcoming games launching later in 2025 and into 2026. The preview, lasted less than an hour, showcased new and previously-announced PS5 titles as well as a new controller. The last State of Play was in February and featured previews of games including Sonic Racing: Crossworlds, Lies of P: Overture and Saros, from the studio behind Returnal. This time, Sony released a few teasers for many of its most-hyped games, including Ghost of Yōtei, Silent Hill F, Pragmata, Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, a remaster of the original Final Fantasy Tactics and even more levels from last year's fan-favorite hit Astro Bot. The trailer fest also included a reveal of a new official Sony fighting stick, which Sony has given the codename Project Defiant (a final name is forthcoming). While it doesn't have a release date or price, the company noted that it will have wired or "ultra-low latency" wireless connectivity, a durable design and a sling carry case included for easy transport. How to watch Sony State of Play State of Play streamed live on YouTube and Twitch starting at 2 p.m. PT (5 p.m. ET). 007 First Light We got our first look at the new James Bond game from Amazon MGM Studios, 007 First Light. From the trailer, it's clear that the game will cover the origins of the super-spy set in what seems like the groovy 1960s. Bond is young, eager and getting his start at MI6, with missions that will take him around the world. 007 First Light is coming in 2026. Ghost of Yotei The spiritual sequel to Ghost of Tsushima had a trailer that showed more vibes than gameplay, pretty much just teeing up a gameplay reveal stream coming in July. Ah well. Marvel Tokon Fighting Souls Ignore that word salad title -- this is a heretofore unlooked-for Marvel fighting game from Arc System Works, famed for the Guilty Gear and BlazBlue series as well as Dragon Ball FighterZ. While a little more grounded than Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 (where are my super jumps?), Marvel Tokon Fighting Souls will have 4v4 tag team battles, promising tight gameplay and fun new costumes for Marvel heroes. It's coming to PS5 and PC in 2026. Lumines Arise A new game in the Lumines universe is coming from the creators of Tetris Effect: Connected, and you can see the impact with synesthetic combination of music and visuals working together. Lumines Arise comes out Fall 2025 for PS5. Pragmata Our second big trailer for Pragmata, Capcom's next single-player adventure, shows even more of the relationship between the astrogear-wearing protagonist and the robot (looking like a small girl) with more capability than she seems. Pragmata comes out in 2026. Romeo is a Dead Man Romeo Is A Dead Man, a new game from Grasshopper Manufacture, was created by noted game developer Suda51 (Killer7). The trailer opened with a bloody protagonist origin transitioning into gameplay of him, newly reborn, slashing and shooting his way through hordes of dead demon-like things. This game -- and whatever panoply of styles and oddball features suitable for Suda51 -- is coming in 2026. Silent Hill f Another trailer for the next Silent Hill game set in 1960s Japan, this game interspersed cutscenes with some gameplay of main character Hinako, a schooolgirl, fighting horrific mannequin-like monsters in schools and shrines across a mist-covered town. The game comes out on September 25, 2025. Bloodstained: The Scarlet Engagement The next game in the Bloodstained series of Castlevania-likes is another side-scrolling grim action game, which is coming out in 2026. Digimon Story: Time Stranger A new Digimon game from Bandai Namco, Digimon Story: Time Stranger is a story-rich RPG with a cel-shaded anime style set in a Japan invaded by monsters. The game comes out October 3, 2025. Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles A remaster of the Final Fantasy Tactics classic, the game has two versions: the original game and the enhanced version with fully-voiced dialogue, improved graphics and more. Launching on PS5 and PS4 September 30, 2025. Baby Steps Described by one CNET colleague as "open world QWOP," Baby Steps looks to be a surrealist adventure of a character with one goal: make it to the bathroom. It looks like a zany idea brought to life in Garry's Mod (and I meant that as a compliment). Baby steps comes out September 8, 2025. Hirogami Hirogami is a beautiful-looking platformer starring protagonist Hiro, a master of origami folding themself into different forms to traverse the locations. It's got a unique animation look where your character moves "on the 2's", or with half the framerate to give it the stylized look of Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse. Hirogami is out September 3, 2025. Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound From the makers of the Blasphemous games comes the next side-scrolling action entry in the Ninja Gaiden series, Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound, featuring two heroes from rival clans who must team up to defeat evil. It's out July 31 on PS5 and PS4. Cairn The upcoming climbing game Cairn got another trailer ahead of its release later this year. In Cairn, you climb using natural handholds, but it's more than just the ascent -- main character Aava has her own personal journey to make in her ascents. Cairn comes out for PC and PS5 on November 5, 2025. Mortal Kombat Legacy Collection Over 20 different versions of the original Mortal Kombat games are coming to PS5 and PS4 later in 2025. Retro game restorers Digital Eclipse have bundled the first four Mortal Kombat games (as well as Mortal Kombat 3 Ultimate) and more into the Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection, which will also let you challenge players online. Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Another trailer for the remake of the third Metal Gear Solid game, Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, showed off more bosses and, curiously, a crossover with Ape Escape (capture the ape and get a robo-ape mecha to deploy?). Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is out August 28, 2025. Nioh 3 Nioh 3 is coming next year. The reveal trailer for the next entry in the samurai demon-killing game showed off its open world design and a new ninja playstyle to add to its armored samurai fighting. The game has a PS5 demo out today and will be released in early 2026. Thief VR: Legacy of Shadow A new game in the storied Thief franchise, Thief VR: Legacy of Shadow, is a PSVR 2-only game that follows in its predecessors' medieval stealth adventure footsteps -- except this time, of course, players get a virtual reality hands-on perspective. Made by Vertigo Games, creators of Metro Awakening and Arizona Sunshine, Thief VR is coming later in 2025. Tides of Tomorrow An oceanborne post-apocalypse game that looks like Waterworld by way of the wildly vibrant Sunset Overdrive, Tides of Tomorrow has another feature that could distinguish it from the crowd: a multiplayer story. Though its exact processes are hard to tell from the trailer, players can follow their friend or favorite streamer to see how their choices shape the collective story of the game. Tides of Tomorrow comes out next year on February 24, 2026. Sea of Remnants Have you ever wanted to sail the seas as a puppet? Sea of Remnants seems like an even more colorful and zany single-player Sea of Thieves with some interesting color and ocombat mechanics. The trailer showed off dragons and massive floating crab bosses whose shells are coated in gold. Also what looks like mermaid bosses? Sea of Remnants is coming in 2026. Sword of the Sea Yes, Sony debuted a third sea-themed game at State of Play -- or rather, one mixing seas and deserts from game-makers versed in both. Sword of the Sea is a new indie adventure game from Giant Squid, creators of the iconic games Journey, Abzu and The Pathless. And yes, we're getting another soundtrack from Austin Wintory. Sword of the Sea comes to PS5 and PlayStation Plus on August 19, 2025.
