EVs & Automotive

Bentley has revealed its first electric vehicle, the Torcal, which will serve as the brand's entry model at a price below the Bentayga. The EV features a synthetic engine note designed to mimic the character of a 6.75-liter V8, preserving Bentley's signature auditory identity without an internal combustion powertrain.

Graphics & Displays

NVIDIA's next upscaling iteration appears imminent, as a leaked DLSS 5 DLL hints at a fall launch for the neural rendering technology — a move likely to stoke ongoing community debate about the technique's visual trade-offs. Meanwhile, Samsung Display will showcase QD-OLED panels at gamescom 2026, partnering with global game studios to demonstrate gaming performance advantages. View Sonic also entered the fray with the XG2738-2K-OLED, a 27-inch QD-OLED gaming monitor featuring OLED Care for extended panel longevity.

Gaming & Software

NVIDIA will end Windows 10 driver support in October, with the final GeForce Game Ready driver for the OS shipping that month. MSI is bundling Captain Tsubasa 2: World Fighters with its Claw A8, Claw 8 AI+, and Claw 7 AI+ handhelds starting August 28, 2026, courtesy of a Bandai Namco partnership. Behaviour Interactive will switch Dead by Daylight from Easy Anti-Cheat to Denuvo Anti-Cheat on a trial basis following a community survey, though Steam Deck and Linux support will remain intact. Finally, Rockstar has responded to GTA VI leaks following legal action against leaker Cyberleek, issuing an apology to fans over the unauthorized gameplay footage that surfaced online.
