Tekin Night Jan 8: Sony Enters the Handheld War with "Vita Trinity", RTX 5090 Price Shock ($2,500!), and Kojima's Terrifying New Trailer

1. Project "Trinity": Sony's Secret Plan to Fix the Vita's Mistakes

Let's start with the news that has PlayStation fans buzzing. Remember our morning report about Intel and Lenovo dominating the handheld market? Well, Sony has heard the noise. According to a bombshell report by insider Tom Henderson, Sony is developing a new Native Handheld Console.

Note the word "Native." We are not talking about the PlayStation Portal, which was just a streaming screen (and useless if your internet drops, as we experienced today!). We are talking about a device with its own CPU and GPU, codenamed "Trinity".

What we know about Trinity:

• The Chip: A custom AMD APU (similar to the Steam Deck but optimized for PlayStation architecture).
• The Library: It will reportedly play all PS4 games natively and select PS5 games at 1080p using PSSR (PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution) upscaling.
• The Goal: Sony wants you to play God of War on the subway, offline.

This signals a three-way war in 2026: Valve (Steam Deck), Microsoft (Xbox Handheld), and Sony (Trinity). Competition is good for us gamers.

2. The $2,500 Question: Is the RTX 5090 Only for Millionaires?

While we struggle with connectivity, Nvidia seems determined to struggle with affordability. A leaked price list from a major European retailer has listed the upcoming RTX 5090 at a staggering $2,499 (approx. €2,300).

To put that in perspective: That is more expensive than a PS5, an Xbox Series X, and a high-end OLED TV combined. Why the price hike? It's the "AI Tax."

The Blackwell chips used in the 5090 are the same silicon used in enterprise AI servers. Nvidia would rather sell these chips to Google or OpenAI for $30,000 than to gamers for $1,500. As a result, the RTX 5090 is becoming a luxury item, a "Ferrari" of the PC world. If you are building a PC, grabbing a 40-series card right now might be the smartest financial move before stocks dry up.

3. Kojima's OD: The "Social Scream System" Explained

Hideo Kojima is back to haunting our nightmares. A new trailer for his Xbox exclusive horror game, OD (Overdose), dropped today, showcasing the power of Unreal Engine 5 and MetaHuman technology.

The 2-minute teaser features actress Sophia Lillis in pitch darkness, screaming in terror. But the twist is the mechanic: The Social Scream System. Kojima claims the game uses the controller's microphone to measure your fear. If you scream in real life, the monsters in the game find you faster.

Imagine playing this in the dark. It’s not just a game; it’s a psychological test. Kojima said, "I want to make you feel true overdose of fear." He might just succeed.

4. Ubisoft in Trouble: Assassin's Creed Hexe Delayed to 2027

Bad news for Assassin's Creed fans. Ubisoft, currently facing stock market turbulence, has officially delayed Codename Hexe to 2027. This was supposed to be the "darkest" entry in the franchise, set during the witch trials of the Holy Roman Empire.

Why the delay? After recent commercial underperformances, Ubisoft is reportedly terrified of releasing an unpolished game. They are taking an extra year to refine the new "magic" mechanics. While delays are annoying, a polished game is better than a broken one. We will have to wait a bit longer to hunt witches.

5. Starlink V3: 20ms Ping for the World (and Our Hope for the Future)

Today, SpaceX celebrated the successful launch of Starlink V3 satellites. Elon Musk tweeted that with new "Laser Link" technology, satellite internet latency will drop below 20ms globally, with "Direct-to-Cell" capabilities allowing phones to connect without a dish.

Reporting this news from Iran, where we battle for basic connectivity, feels like looking at a sci-fi movie. The world is moving toward "invisible, ubiquitous internet," while we fight for stability. However, this technology gives us hope. Borders cannot stop signals forever. As TekinGame moves to Dubai, we look forward to testing these technologies firsthand and reporting on the future of connectivity without barriers.

6. TekinGame Roadmap: Our Move to Dubai

We want to end tonight's report with a personal note to our loyal readers. TekinGame started as a passion project. We have grown into a trusted source for thousands of you.

However, the technical limitations we face (like today's blackout) slow us down. We believe you deserve better. You deserve 24/7 breaking news, live event coverage, and zero latency. That is why we are executing "Project Expansion."

We are in the process of relocating our core operations to Dubai. This move will allow us to:

• Access the latest hardware (like the RTX 5090) the second it launches.
• Attend global events in the MENA region.
• Guarantee 100% uptime for our news and services.

We are taking TekinGame from a local hero to a global player. Thank you for sticking with us through the blackouts. The future is bright (and high-speed).
