PS6, next-gen Xbox delays fuel concern; CD Projekt Red says consoles survive RAM shortage

CD Projekt Red said it expects next-generation consoles from Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo to endure the current memory supply crunch, even as hardware costs rise and parts supplies remain uncertain. Co-CEO Michal Nowakowski said consoles still offer low barriers to entry and appeal to casual users because they are easy to connect and play. He called pricing an objective challenge and was cautious on rumours of launch delays. The company said it could adjust development plans if schedules slip.

Hyundai Motor to roll out range-extended EVs in U.S., starting with Santa Fe

Hyundai Motor will begin a full rollout of range-extended electric vehicles in the United States, starting with the three-row Santa Fe SUV and expanding the lineup. The system runs on battery power while a gasoline engine charges the battery by driving a generator. The strategy also includes luxury brand Genesis, with the GV70 seen as a likely early candidate. Hyundai is also aligning production plans around the United States and broader electrification targets through 2030.
