Your Radeon RX 9000 gets FSR Redstone first in Black Ops 7

If you have a Radeon RX 9000 GPU, Black Ops 7 will be one of the first places you can try AMD’s new FSR Redstone ray regeneration and machine learning frame generation in action.

What’s happened? AMD says its new FSR Redstone tech lands in Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, and it’s starting on Radeon RX 9000 Series cards. The rollout pairs FSR Redstone Ray Regeneration with machine learning frame generation, and it goes live in-game tomorrow.

  • AMD confirmed availability via its AMD Gaming account on X, calling out RX 9000 support.
  • Black Ops 7 is “built from the ground up” with AMD tech, said SVP Jack Huynh in an accompanying video.
  • The goal, per Huynh, is “stunning visuals and ultra smooth gameplay,” including a new co-op campaign, Omni movement, and a huge round-based zombies map.
  • AMD also noted every Call of Duty NEXT demo rig ran Ryzen X3D processors and Radeon graphics, and reiterated the November 14 launch.

This is important because: Black Ops 7 gives AMD a flashy stage to debut FSR Redstone in a game millions already plan to play. That visibility matters, especially when you’re talking ray features and higher frame targets.

  • Radeon RX 9000 owners get one of the earliest public trials of Redstone’s ray regeneration and frame boosting.
  • The showcase positions AMD as a core partner on how the PC version is tuned and presented.
  • Tying a marquee shooter to new rendering features helps AMD prove its performance story inside real gameplay.

Why should I care? If you play on PC, Black Ops 7 doubles as a live demo for AMD’s latest features. You can tweak, test, and actually feel what Redstone does in matches rather than watch sizzle reels.

  • Redstone aims to keep motion smooth while the game piles on fast Omni movement and messy zombie crowds.
  • With AMD embedded through Call of Duty NEXT, PC players who chase stable frame times have a clear hardware path.

Okay, so what’s next? The game launches November 14, and AMD is treating that window as Redstone’s coming-out party on RX 9000. Expect more detail on settings and specs as players dig in.

  • If you already run RX 9000, Black Ops 7 is where to flip Redstone on and try its ML frame generation in live matches.
  • AMD calls the partnership about “pushing boundaries together,” so watch for deeper PC settings breakdowns as more players get hands on.
  • Even on other hardware, this is an early look at how big shooters may use AMD’s next rendering wave.

Sony’s wild PSN login patent could turn the DualSense into a security gatekeeper
A newly published filing outlines controller-based sign-ins for PlayStation users, aiming to make stolen accounts harder to exploit.

Sony has filed a PSN login patent, first spotted by RespawnFirst, that would pull the DualSense controller into the sign-in process. A PlayStation console would start the request, then the controller would help confirm that the account holder is close enough to approve access.

For players, the appeal is easy to see. PSN account abuse can lead to unauthorized purchases, lost access, and attempts to resell established accounts. Sony already offers 2-step verification and passkeys, but this idea adds a hardware check to the login chain.

This study found a surprising mental health perk hiding in your game library
Researchers surveyed 2,252 adults and found that specific game genres, not gaming in general, line up with lower loneliness and stronger emotional resilience.

A new study has found that adults who play certain video games report feeling less lonely and more emotionally resilient than people who don't play games at all. The findings challenge the idea that gaming is just a way to escape from real life and instead tie specific kinds of games to real, measurable shifts in how people cope with stress and isolation.

GTA 6 may be far away, so Rockstar gave GTA 5 a fresh coat of paint
Grand Theft Auto 5

With Grand Theft Auto 6 now just months away, Rockstar Games is giving longtime Grand Theft Auto 5 players a reason to revisit Los Santos. The company has announced that owners of the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions of GTA 5 will receive a free upgrade to the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S versions of the game.

The move comes as Rockstar ramps up excitement for GTA 6, which is currently scheduled to launch on November 19 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series consoles. Previously, upgrading from the older console versions to the current-generation release required a separate purchase, typically costing around $10. Beginning Thursday, however, eligible players will be able to move to the newer version at no additional cost.
