In other news, we'll soon be bidding farewell to a slew of VR games and classic Xbox 360 titles. Meta is discontinuing Echo VR , one of the best multiplayer VR games available for VR headsets, and Microsoft is discontinuing popular games. Including Jet Set Radio and Orange Box , within a week of the Xbox 360 market. When it comes to digital downloads and multiplayer games, nothing lasts forever.

But there is good news. AMD believes that the PC market is expected to rebound in the second half of this year, even if the overall market is down 10% for the whole of 2023.

For now, here's a silly tweet to start the day.
