After Sony pulled Cyberpunk 2077 from its PlayStation store, what could happen next? Well, Microsoft is still willing to sell the game on Xbox, but it has matched Sony’s offer with refunds for anyone who wants one. Meanwhile, CD Projekt Red itself will refund gamers who bought it on disc if their retailer won’t, but you’ll have to hurry -- it will only accept requests until the 21st, which is two days from now.
If you’re wondering how we got into this mess, then Jessica Conditt has all the answers available to your question: What the hell is going on with Cyberpunk 2077? If you’re in the group of people playing (and, despite all odds, possibly enjoying) the game, the developers have released yet another patch. The 1.05 hotfix addresses a bunch of quest problems, and may help HDR look better on your PlayStation or Xbox console -- try it out.
Last but not least, if you prefer gaming-related news that inspires joy, try Nintendo’s 15 minute tour of the Super Nintendo World theme park, hosted by Shigeru Miyamoto.

Microsoft is reportedly developing its own ARM-based chips for Surface PCs
If Intel and Qualcomm can’t keep up with Apple’s M1, then what’s the next move?
According to Bloomberg, Microsoft is developing in-house ARM processors to power its Surface devices and cloud infrastructure. While there aren’t many details on the project yet, Bloomberg reports the company is working on a chip that it plans to use in its data centers.

Apple MacBook Pro M1 review
The M1 chip makes it zippy and efficient, but also limited for professionals.
Apple’s M1-equipped MacBook Pro is as zippy as we expected, delivering all of the features we appreciated from the updated MacBook Air. But even though it’s a bit faster, it may be a hard sell.
