100 Days Later, Neuralink’s First Human Patient Is Now Using His Brain Implant to Play Slay the Spire - IGN

The first human recipient of a Neuralink brain-computer interface has used the link to play Slay the Spire, and a number of other games during his time off, though the implant suffered a temporary drop in performance after a number of electrode-studded threads 'retracted' from the patient's brain.

    It’s in the second paragraph?

    The first human Neuralink implant recipient is playing Slay the Spire, Old School RuneScape, and a range of other popular games by using the implant to translate his neural signals.

    Elon Musk’s neurotechnology company also revealed in a new update that a number of the implant’s electrode-bearing threads had retracted from the patient’s brain, leading to a temporary drop off in the performance of the brain-computer interface (BCI).

      Yes, and the lead being buried in OP being the headline (and most of the rest of the article around the paragraph you quoted):

      Neuralink’s first implant partly detached from patient’s brain

      Some of the threads connecting the chip to the brain began to retract. The Elon Musk-owned company did not explain why

      The patient, Noland Arbaugh, underwent surgery in February to attach a Neuralink chip to his brain, but the device’s functionality began to decrease within the month after his implant.
