New plugin releases for Godot XR.

In the mid noughties, a Ukrainian living in Kyiv could enjoy the luxury of boredom. In the wake of the anti-corruption Orange Revolution - "good times of hope, when we felt like we were the masters of our own fate" - Andrii Verpakhovskyi was tired of zipping around town as a system administrator, helping out local companies with their computer infrastructure: "I faced the unfortunate reality that I was running out of cool, new stuff to do." And so he started pestering his best friend, who was wo...

"Nintendo's message to consumers is not to download pirate copies of Nintendo games."

Gentlemen, please... As long as Pokémon TCG exists, there will always be scalpers looking to make a quick buck from the game's rare cards and packs. Case in point, a new video has surfaced in which two men appear to be fighting it out to take advantage of a kiosk restock. The video comes from TikTok user 'yoc9official', who appears to be one of the men directly involved in the altercation, though he claims to be well-intentioned and is simply purchasing cards for his own collection.

One of Japan's biggest retailers began offering a PS5 rental service last week, but it's already fully booked thanks in large part to the popularity of Monster Hunter Wilds.

Does Orion's 'Compute Puck' have pluck?

Until Dawn Remake players are still sharing bug reports with UK developer Ballistic Moon, but there's apparently no one left to respond. “The studio has effectively closed now," one anonymous source told Insider Gaming. An undisclosed number of layoffs were publicly announced last September, shortly before the Until Dawn remake's launch in October. According to IG's source, these amounted to "roughly 40 employees". "Around 20" developers were allegedly kept on for post-launch support until they ...

This isn’t the first time that I’ve said it and I doubt it will be the last: Solium Infernum is the single greatest 4X game on PC right now. While Civilization 7, Stellaris, and Endless Space all provide variations on the genre’s traditions, and each experiments with and tries to perfect the formula, Solium Infernum turns the entire concept of 4X upside down. You don’t have many military units. You don’t make that many choices. You don’t build anything. A strategy game set in Hell, Solium isn’t ...

"This is not what we were expecting". Over the years, Nintendo has put out some truly weird adverts for its consoles and games, including the wonderful SNES collaboration with the late, great Rik Mayall, and the bizarre sing-a-long commercial used for Super Mario Sunshine. Many of them pale in comparison to the NES Legend of Zelda advert starring comedian and prominent voice actor John Kassir (Tales from the Crypt, Bayonetta), which takes place within a padded prison cell in which Kassir randoml...

The fourth season of Netflix's Witcher adaptation is on its way, and we've now got word of a new character for the show.

Extraction RPG Dark and Darker has been delisted from the Epic Games Store, with developer Ironmace citing claims made during ongoing legal disputes as the cause. The multiplayer game combines co-op dungeon crawling with DnD-style classes and the ability to fight other players to snatch their hard-earned spoils. It was previously made unavailable on storefronts including Steam following legal proceedings with Nexon Games around alleged copyright infringement. It eventually returned to Steam alon...

Another new release is available for MangoHud, the Linux gaming overlay, which is also used for the performance stats on Steam Deck.

"I need a bigger gun". We thought that last week's reveal of the Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition 'Don't Worry' remix might be the only peek we'd get at the upcoming remaster's soundtrack, but we were wrong! Nintendo UK is back with another track, and it's another banger. This time, it's the battle theme 'Black Tar' that gets an upload of its own. Unlike 'Don't Worry', this one appears to have been left relatively untouched for the Definitive Edition, but that doesn't make it any less ...

Apple is developing a "refreshed" version of its C1 modem for mass production next year that will improve power consumption and transmission speed, as well as bring support for mmWave, according to industry analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.

The C1 modem that debuted in the iPhone 16e lacks support for ultra-fast...

We don't score reviews at Rock Paper Shotgun. Some might tell you this is because we view numeric scores as stifling oversimplifications of the wonderful, strange, and personal experiences videogames can offer, but it's really because the refurbished work keyboards we're assigned when hired all have their number keys gummed up with Marmite and none of us want to touch them.

Now back to farming. In case you missed it, Stardew Valley's most recent update (Version 1.6.15.1) included an error on the Switch. While the game was "mostly playable, there were some issues like "crashes", text problems and some other issues. Fortunately, the game's creator Eric 'ConcernedApe' Barone has been working to resolve this issue and a patch for this patch has now been issued. Here's what he had to say about this, along with the official website notice:

Apple's first foldable iPhone should arrive around the end of 2026 or early 2027 with a book-style design and a premium price tag of over $2,000, according to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. In a report today, Kuo outlines his expectations for the device, noting that it will have an approximately 7.8-inch "crease-free" inner display and a 5.5-inch outer display, matching a rumor from last month. Kuo says that the foldable ‌iPhone‌ will measure between 9 and 9.5 mm when folded, and around 4.5 to 4.8 mm whe...

A new wave of NSO icons are also available. It's the month of March and for Xenoblade fans it means the return of Monolith Soft's Wii U game Xenoblade Chronicles X. Of course, this new version for Switch is the 'definitive edition' and that means updated visuals as well as additional content. As we noted in our hands on, this title now "looks and feels every bit as good as the most recent entries in the franchise" with these enhancements.

Apple debuted its custom-designed C1 modem in the iPhone 16e last month, as part of a multi-year plan to transition away from Qualcomm modems. However, the C1 modem does not extend to the new iPads unveiled earlier this week. Daring Fireball's John Gruber today said he spoke with an Apple representative who confirmed that the new iPad Air and entry-level iPad models are not equipped with the C1 modem. In addition, FCC documents viewed by MacRumors indicate that cellular configurations of both ne...

Utah has once again passed a bill that attempts to place new limits on children’s ability to access social media and other apps. The state legislature passed a bill that requires app store makers to verify the ages of users and get parental consent for the downloading of apps. Should the governor sign the bill into law, it would be (as The Verge points out) the first such measure in the country. The Beehive State has previously attempted to restrict how children can use social media. The state p...
