Although its still a small segment, gaming smartphones had quite an impact on the smartphone segment for two particular reasons. One is, of course, the over-the-top performance sometimes coupled with equally over-the-top cooling solutions. Then there are the distinct design cues chosen to appeal to gamer aesthetics, often with dark color schemes highlighted with some neon RGB lighting. Its a visual that many gamers will be familiar with but not all subscribe to.As powerful as gaming smartphones might be, not everyone will find their appearance appealing, especially those who might want to be able to bring out their mobile partner in more formal settings. These people will absolutely adore this limited edition of one of the most powerful gaming smartphones on the market, exuding an aura of elegance and luxury that belies the gaming-worthy power it holds inside. Even better, the very things that make this handsome RedMagic 10 Pro look so good are also the things that make it so cool, literally.Designer: RedMagicYouve probably heard about how copper and aluminum are often used in cooling systems for phones and computers, but these arent the only metals that are good for thermal management. They just happen to be the most accessible and most affordable, which is what you need for mass-produced items. But if youre doing a limited run anyway, might as well go for the gold, right?The RedMagic 10 Pro Golden Saga Limited Edition spares no expense in the name of pushing the limits of performance, even more than your run-of-the-mill gaming smartphone. It uses premium materials like gold-plated VC fins and silver alloy air duct and cover for ultimate heat dissipation and thermal conducting, respectively. It enhances these capabilities with carbon fiber, a material used in luxury sports cars and known for its lightweight properties and exceptional thermal efficiency.That premium character is reflected on the outside as well, with a dark black motif broken by golden accents on the power button and around the fan frame. The textured carbon fiber appearance of the rear panel gives the phone a slightly rugged yet still stylish aesthetic. Its definitely a look that will earn you a lot of attention, whether youre in an office meeting, a gala, or an e-sports meetup.The VIP treatment continues with the Saga Gift Box packaging, which includes a matching Cooler 5 Pro accessory, a themed phone case, a gold-plated SIM ejector, and a card with a unique number that marks you as one of the privileged few to get their hands on one of these beauties. Unsurprisingly, the RedMagic 10 Pro Golden Saga Limited Edition fetches a steep price tag of $1,499, a hefty $500 more than the equivalent normal 12GB/1TB model. Of course, with its excellent performance and the limited run of this luxurious model, its quite possibly worth its weight in gold.The post RedMagic 10 Pro Golden Saga Limited Edition: Mobile Gaming Never Looked This Luxurious first appeared on Yanko Design.

While Payday 3 hasnt been doing too well since its launch, developer Starbreeze believes that sales of co-op shooter will recover down the line through collaboration events, as well as partnerships with platform-holders. In its recent fiscal report, Starbreeze admitted that Payday 3s performance was at significantly lower levels than projected.Starbreeze pointed to the title being available through PlayStation Plus as an example for how the studio will try growing its playerbase, referring to the move as an incredible opportunity.At this time of writing, Payday 3 is one of the games of the month on PlayStation Plus, meaning that during February it will be available for anyone with a Plus subscription to download and play, said the studio in its report.The collaboration with PlayStation will contribute positively to Paydays revenue in the first quarter of 2025, but most of all, it is an incredible opportunity to let millions of people try Payday 3 as it is today, after 1.5 years of hard work to improve the game both functionally and content-wise.Starbreeze is also working with collaboration events with titles like PUBG: Battlegrounds and Roblox to develop some sort of Payday-styled experiences in the games.For the sake of context, Starbreeze reported annual net sales of SEK 185.9 million (around $17.3 million), down from the SEK 633.5 million ($59.1 million) it reported last year. Payday 3 contributed SEK 82.9 million (around $7.7 million) to this throughout the year (compared to the SEK 477 million / $44.5 million from last year), while Payday 2 accounted for SEK 41.8 million ($3.9 million), which was down from the SEK 139.1 / $13 million from last year.All in all, sales going down resulted in a loss of SEK 199.1 million (around $18.5 million) for the year.Acting CEO Mats Juhl said that the future of Payday, along with other in-development games like the Dungeons & Dragons game internally titled Project Baxter, will lead Starbreeze to a more successful year. He also emphasises Starbreezes third-party publishing efforts for growth in the coming year.We have continued to strengthen the Payday brand through collaborations and enhancements, while making great progress with Project Baxter and establishing a strong foundation for our third-party publishing, said Juhl.With a balanced risk profile, strong cash position and several ongoing projects approaching important milestones, we look forward to 2025. Our vision to be a leading multi-title studio is more realistic than ever, and we are well positioned to continue building value for our players and owners.Interestingly, Starbreeze had revealed in a statement from its quarterly earnings report from back in November 2024 that it would be focusing on getting more player engagement for Payday 3 while at the same time lowering its investments into the co-op shooter.The level of investment during Payday 3s first year on the market, both through launched DLCs and Operation Medic Bag, has been at an elevated level, said the company at the time. Ahead of year two, we are confident in being able to continue delivering amounts of value to our players with a significantly lower level of investment.Payday 3 was released all the way back in 2023, and is available on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
