Neurable and HyperX are teaming up to develop a gaming headset designed to help you play better. How will it do this? With an "industry-first neurotechnology-powered" headset that can potentially improve focus and accuracy in competitive games. It's also designed to use "non-invasive" neurotechnology, so you don't have to worry about getting a few cybernetic upgrades to be compatible with the device.

Neurable and HyperX claim that testing with the in-development headset has resulted in faster reaction times of up to 38 milliseconds, improved accuracy by 3%, and a higher number of targets were hit during FPS training tasks when tested on esports players. The headset uses neural-sensing technology to track metrics like cognitive load and stress from a user's brainwaves.

Lies of P publisher Neowiz describes itself as a "forward-thinking technology company," and its co-CEO says that means the company is exploring how all manner of technology-based solutions can help the company's business in the future, including AI.

Sean Kim told Game Informer that Korea, where Neowiz is based, is understood to be one of the countries where ChatGPT is "used most actively." He added, "It's hard to find a game company here today that isn’t using AI in some way. At the very least, companies are using either ChatGPT or Gemini."

For Neowiz, Kim said, "We are actively exploring how advanced learning tools can enhance our internal publishing productivity," and this includes AI.

2018's Tomb Raider movie starring Oscar-winner Alicia Vikander is surging up the popularity charts on Netflix. According to Netflix's global streaming data, the film was the No. 9 most-watched movie on Netflix globally for the week of December 22 through December 28.

The two-hour movie tallied 4.2 million views and 8.2 million streaming hours. It's now had two weeks inside the top 10 on Netflix's global streaming charts.

The success of the action movie during the Christmas week is notable, in part because many of the other films are comprised of holiday movies, with The Grinch ranking No. 1, How the Grinch Stole Christmas coming in at No. 4, My Secret Santa at No. 6, The Christmas Chronicles at No. 7, and Jingle Bell Heist at No. 10.
