New video shows the Legion Go 2 outperforming the MSI Claw A8 in benchmark test
The Lenovo Legion Go 2 was unveiled during CES 2025, but we're still waiting for an official release date. We don't have that yet, but a new video featuring a prototype version of the gaming handheld has surfaced. If this video is accurate, then Lenovo's upcoming machine should deliver impressive gaming performance. A recent video from the YouTube channel Lines Tech (via Notebook Check) shows the Legion Go 2 running Shadow of the Tomb Raider, which is also one of the games we benchmark in our PC gaming tests. The Legion Go 2 in question packs an AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme chip and has an OLED panel. In the video, Shadow of the Tomb Raider averages 49 frames per second at 1080p resolution, with 7,710 frames rendered. Notebook Check believes that Lines Tech enabled DirectX 12 and had frame generation disabled. The site also thinks the benchmarks were achieved on medium graphics settings. We also see an MSI Claw A8 in the video, a handheld device that also features an AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme chip, although it lacks an OLED panel. MSI's gaming handheld averaged 44 fps with 6,751 frames generated in the same graphics settings for Shadow of the Tomb Raider. As Notebook Check notes, the Legion Go 2 achieves 10% higher frame rates than the MSI Claw A8, at least based on this video. Lenovo says the Legion Go 2 has a super cooling solution. The machine will also have 32GB of RAM vs the Claw A8's 24GB. These factors are likely what account for the Legion Go 2's better performance. That said, we would need to conduct our own benchmark tests to see which machine has better overall performance. I'm also curious to see how games perform on these handhelds when frame generation is enabled. Based on what we've seen so far, it appears that gaming handhelds featuring an AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme chip should deliver big performance gains over the current crop of Ryzen Z1 Extreme machines. But as I said, we'll know for sure once we've brought such handhelds into our lab. Stay tuned for more!

GTA 6 might be delayed again, according to a new leak — here's when the game could launch
A new leak claims that GTA 6 could face another delay. This same leaker also has potential information about the pricing of the game's various editions. As always with leaks, take everything you're about to read with a healthy dose of skepticism. As previously reported, GTA 6 has been delayed until 2026. Specifically, to May 26, 2026. That's disappointing enough, but X user and known leaker Millie A (via Notebook Check) claims that the eagerly anticipated Rockstar Games title will be delayed by another four months, citing internal talks. If true, then we might not see GTA 6 arrive until September of 2026. The leaker also posted about the cost of each edition of GTA 6 in the UK. The standard edition is reportedly priced at £69.99, while the deluxe edition costs £89.99. Then there's the premium edition, which is supposed to cost £109.99. If this is true, then the pricing of the premium edition may have sparked all those rumors about the game costing $100. The leak also claims that those who purchase the deluxe edition will get early access to GTA Online, and those who buy the premium edition will gain first access. We can't say for sure what the difference is between 'early' access and 'first' access, but this seems like a strategy to get folks to buy the more expensive versions of the game. And despite the furor over GTA 6 potentially costing $100, a significant number of people might still be willing to pay. After all, GTA Online is the primary reason for GTA 5's insane success. Rockstar Games is no doubt counting on the successor online mode to be just as popular (and profitable). Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. If this part of the leak is genuine, those who opt for the standard edition of GTA 6 may have to wait to play GTA Online, although the leak doesn't specify how long that wait could be. The leaker in question doesn't have the best track record, so you might want to be more skeptical than usual with this report. However, considering how Red Dead Redemption 2 was delayed twice (and both previous GTA games were delayed at least once), it wouldn't be at all surprising if GTA 6 does get delayed again, despite currently having a fixed release date.

Sony insider drops huge hint about PS6 release date
Cerny's mention of a "multi-year" timeline suggests analysts may be correct with their 2027 or 2028 forecasts. THE coveted PlayStation 6 could be released in as little as two years, according to analysts and a top Sony insider. However, Mark Cerny, the lead architect of several Sony consoles, is in no rush to get the PS6 onto shelves. 1 The PS6 is still thought to be years away Credit: sONY In a new interview, Cerny explained that PS5 Pro software enhancements, like FSR 4 upscaling, are his priority, Notebook Check reported. Many analysts have projected a PS6 release date in 2027 or 2028. While recent discussions have raised hopes that the PS6 release date may arrive sooner rather than later - it is still thought to be years away. Cerny, the lead designer of the PlayStation Vita, PS4 and PS5, appeared to be focused on boosting existing Sony consoles and games through software updates. "What I'm trying to do is prepare for the next generation of consoles, so my timeframe is multi-year here," he said. Talk of a "multi-year" timeline suggests analysts may be correct with their 2027 or 2028 forecasts. Although a handheld device that supports PS5 games may also be released around the same time, analysts have noted.
