This Week In Video Games 1/5/26 — 1/9/26

A lot has gone on this week in video games. Here is a recap of what we covered in the world of #videogames on the site this week

The world of video games never ceases to amaze me out there, as this week was a lot more packed than expected for a #CES week. Not only did we get a lot to check out during the convention, but we also managed to get solid updates out to you all week. Some, like, #Styx: Blades Of Greed gameplay, #DeadByDaylight and #StrangerThings kicking off the crossover, #RERequiem getting some fun new visuals, and the fact that we will be able to play Xbox video games without the need of an Xbox soon. Yeah, that one is a bit of a wild ride to think about, and we have all of that here on the site for you.

The PC Will Have Some Exclusive Enhancements For 007 First Light
 
The PC Will Have Some Exclusive Enhancements For 007 First Light

A new look at 007 First Light out of CES is here to show us just how NVIDIA will be pushing #007FirstLight forward

Fresh off the recent delay of 007 First Light, it looks like we have a lot more driving its way out to us for the game during #CES. Not anything unusual, since the gadgets and vehicles in the IP get highlighted during the show, but here we go with a look at how IO Interactive is teaming up with NVIDIA to help give the #PC version of the game a bit of a push before the new May 27th release date. Something that will help 007 First Light stand out further than the #PS5, #XboxSeriesX|S, and #Switch2 versions of the game. That is the way of it all when it comes to this hardware. Let’s embrace it and see just how this one is going to be turning more heads during the show and during the live gameplay when it launches. #CES2026

Resident Evil Requiem Gets A Visual Showcase With The NVIDIA Hardware

Resident Evil is coming to life with the new Path Tracing & DLSS 4 features that #ResidentEvil Requiem will house

It feels like it would not be #CES without Capcom showing off something new out there with their games, and it looks like #RERequiem is taking the stage here. That might sound weird to many, but they do like offering their games to showcase either new PC hardware or showcase a new console feature. This goes back to the day when we were out there playing Resident Evil 5 on the side of a Las Vegas strip hotel before it launched. Now, just ahead of the February 27th launch on the #PS5, #XboxSeriesX|S, #Switch2, and #PC, we are getting a look at how the game could look if you are rocking some of the latest graphics cards on display during #CES2026. Maybe even some of the current ones, but let us have a look.

You Might Be Able To Play Your Xbox Games Without A Console Or PC Soon
 
You Might Be Able To Play Your Xbox Games Without A Console Or PC Soon

A new platform for the Xbox cloud gaming is on the way, with a new partnership announced for #Xbox during CES

It seemed like it was something that might never have come, but it looks like you might not need anything by a TV screen to play your favorite Xbox games again. Not that we won’t have the #XboxSeriesX|S and #PC as options to play, still. Also, maybe a new system that has yet to be announced as well. No, as it seems, a new partnership could see some smart TVs this year have the ability to play the cloud streaming versions of our games without anything but a controller. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and Call Of Duty: Black Ops 7 are among those listed, but anyone familiar with the Game Pass subscription will know that those are only a few of the many titles that could become available without the need for anything but your home entertainment center. #CES #CES2026
