Coming This Week to Digital Foundry (Week 28, 2025) (Patreon)

Hi there and welcome to the 28th news update of the year! Here's what's cooking within Digital Foundry at the moment in the wake of our Monday morning #content meeting.

John is going to be taking point on our coverage of Donkey Kong Bananza, but before that, he's working on a smaller video that's a bit of a mystery project we don't want to spoil... it's unexpected and fun! Also: Tony Hawk Pro-Skater 3+4 - John's keen on covering this one.

A bleary-eyed Alex is back from vacation and by now should be suitably rested to begin work on his next project, which is going to be a look at the Mario Kart 64 decompilation project.

Tom is polishing up work on his GameCube emulation for Switch 2 video, which includes all the performance testing and latency analysis you've been asking for. Beyond that, he's heading off to Hyrule to look at the Switch 2 Editions of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and indeed Tears of the Kingdom.

Oliver is working on a few projects - the first you'll see is a multi-game look at Steam Deck vs Switch 2. He's also keen on reviewing the impressive Switch 2 port of No Man's Sky. Oh - and fantastic news - we've been in contact with Apple PR and we're now fully equipped for covering Mac titles with the latest kit. Oliver wants to kick off with a review of the latest and most powerful Mac Studio.

Will continues to handle our Eurogamer output and has the privilege of dealing with Prime Day deals this week, which I understand is actually more than one day - I guess that's like Game Pass and Summer Game Feste having more than one game in them?

Rich (ie me) has finished the Cyberpunk 2077 Switch 2 vs Steam Deck video which is available on early access to premium tier backers now. It'll go public tomorrow.

In terms of what I tackle next, I wrote off doing anything on the PS4 Cyberpunk 2077 benchmark tests, but in light of the comments from Virtuos Games about their assessments of Switch 2 GPU and CPU capabilities, should I reconsider? I also have now received a Strix Halo mini-PC, which is an AMD APU I have a strong interest in reviewing. I'm open to this and other ideas, time permitting!

Anyway, that's where we are at for now - have a great week!
