Microsoft has made a leap in quantum computing with their recently announced Majorana 1 chip. But is there a chance that somewhere down the pipeline, this affects gaming? Well, if we were to guess, a quantum computer could be the key to solving one of the biggest headaches of gamers in recent years.

With Unreal Engine 5’s heavy demand on PC hardware, players have been forced to deal with frame rate dips, shader compilation stutters, and just overall problems. The experts will have to confirm this but imagine the potential applications in AI upscaling and generation. We don’t expect to have quantum computers in our houses anytime soon, but at least our PCs won’t turn into potatoes.

Could Majorana 1 mean anything for gaming? Surely there’s a way for gamers to benefit down the road.
