Genshin Impact is too demanding for the PS4.
Developer HoYoverse is ending support for the game, which will leave the PlayStation store next month and stop working entirely next April. The devs blamed 'limitations related to hardware performance and platform application size.'
Fortunately, Genshin Impact will remain playable on more powerful hardware like the PS5 and, um, your phone.

Microsoft has ended 'active development' on Contraband
The upheaval continues for gaming at Microsoft. The latest victim appears to be Contraband, a planned release from Avalanche Studios with Xbox Game Studios as publisher. The co-op open-world game from the studio behind the entertaining Just Cause series was teased in a brief, mostly atmospheric trailer at E3 2021. But very little had been heard since about the project, and it seems the axe is currently hanging pretty precariously above Contraband. "Active development has now stopped while we evaluate the project's future," Avalanche said in a post on its website. "We're thankful for the excitement we've seen from the community since we announced and will give an update on what's next as soon as we can." Microsoft announced in May that it would cut 7,000 jobs, or about 3 percent of its global workforce. That news was followed by another cut of 9,000 positions later in the summer. Gaming has been hit hard by these changes, with several studios and planned projects shuttering as Microsoft consolidates. Here's the rundown of other projects that have been reported to have ended so far under Microsoft's auspices: Everwild from Rare Perfect Dark reboot from The Initiative Warcraft Rumble from Blizzard Entertainment Blackbird from Zenimax An unnamed FPS from Romero Games Several of the aforementioned studios, and many others under the Xbox umbrella, have also been hit by the layoffs. Some, like The Initiative, have been completely shut down.

NEAR Protocol Posts 5% Recovery Amid Volatility Surge
NEAR Protocol climbed 5% from $2.47 to $2.60 in the 24-hour period ending 7 August at 14:00 UTC, exhibiting strong resilience amid broader market turbulence. Institutional accumulation helped fuel a recovery rally after early-session lows, with price action coalescing between $2.48 and $2.52 before a sharp upside break around 10:00 UTC, supported by 3.36 million in trading volume. The asset's advance, partially influenced by global risk-off sentiment, reflected investors' pivot to alternative assets during heightened geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainty. Late-Session Sell-Off Caps Bullish Momentum Despite its earlier strength, NEAR's final hour of trading—from 13:06 to 14:05 UTC—witnessed a surge in volatility that erased most intraday gains. After briefly testing resistance at $2.61, a spike in volume between 13:39 and 13:42 coincided with profit-taking behavior. Selling pressure shaped a descending channel, with price retreating to close at $2.60, slightly above fresh support near $2.598. The move signals possible short-term exhaustion, as institutional distribution may be limiting further upside despite earlier accumulation. Macro Conditions Continue to Shape Market Dynamics The backdrop of NEAR's performance remains heavily influenced by shifting macroeconomic forces. As major economies recalibrate monetary policy in response to inflationary effects from ongoing trade disputes, institutional flows into digital assets like NEAR have intensified. The cryptocurrency's intraday pullback mirrors broader market hesitation, as participants digest global policy shifts and their implications for crypto-market structure and risk appetite. Technical Indicators Analysis NEAR Protocol demonstrated considerable resilience during the preceding 24-hour period from 6 August 15:00 to 7 August 14:00, recovering from early session nadirs of $2.47 to close at $2.60, representing a compelling 5% gain. The cryptocurrency exhibited a classic accumulation pattern throughout the initial 18 hours, consolidating between $2.47-$2.52 before surging dramatically at 10:00 on 7 August with exceptional volume of 3.36 million units—approaching threefold the 24-hour average of 1.20 million. This breakout established robust support at $2.51 and resistance proximate to $2.61, with the pronounced price expansion suggesting institutional accumulation followed by momentum-driven purchasing that could extend towards $2.65-$2.70 based upon measured move projections.
