A report from The Washington Post details allegations made by whistleblower Sarah Wynn-Williams about Facebook in a 78-page complaint filed last April with the SEC, including that the company built a censorship system in hopes to be allowed to operate in China and that it considered allowing the Chinese government to access users’ data in the country. Claims that Facebook developed a content suppression tool to appease China, where it has been blocked since 2009, were first reported as far back ...

Apple's next wave of major software updates are still around three months away, but a few smaller iOS 19 and visionOS 3 details have surfaced. First, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman today briefly mentioned that iOS 19 will likely expand some existing Apple Intelligence features to more of Apple's apps. Second, he was told that visionOS 3 will be a "feature-packed" update, but he did not outline any specific new features that are coming. visionOS 2.4, currently in beta, is also a big update. It expands A...

The new Mac Studio is available with mismatched M4 Max and M3 Ultra chip options. Will there be an M4 Ultra chip in the future, though? It looks unlikely. Here are three reasons why Apple might never release an M4 Ultra chip. First, among Apple's line of Mac chips, the highest-end Ultra chips are effectively two Max chips fused together with a technology called UltraFusion. So, the M1 Ultra chip is two M1 Max chips combined, and the M2 Ultra chip is two M2 Max chips combined. However, Apple conf...

After months of Retroid Pocket Mini buyers reporting issues with the appearance of games when using shaders, Retroid has opened a new return window for people seeking a refund. But there are limitations. Per a screenshot shared by Retro Game Corps, the China-based company said in a Discord message that the return window will be open only from March 8 to March 14, only 200 overseas returns will be accepted and customers will have to pay for shipping. As consolation, the company is offering all ow...

It sounds like this prequel isn't a total bummer.

Apple recently shared photos of its revamped store at Trafford Centre, a shopping mall located outside of Manchester in the United Kingdom. The store features Apple's latest retail design, with lots of wood paneling. There is a combined Genius Bar and Apple Pickup station with counters set at varied heights for improved accessibility, a seating area for customers to demo the Apple Vision Pro, and more. Apple's original store at Trafford Centre opened in 2005. Its replacement opened March 1. As s...

Combining DnD-style dungeon crawling with a wide range of classes and a roll-based combat system in the vein of Dicey Dungeons, turn-based roguelike Dice and Fold has brought me a lot of joy. Developer Tinymice Entertainment has found that perfect sweet spot, creating a card-battling game that brings sufficient strategy to keep me hooked on the numbers while also staying light enough that it’s an ideal accompaniment to watching something on your second monitor. Now, the fourth free content drop ...

Diablo 2 Resurrected Season 10 is underway, and that should be cause for celebration. The iconic ARPG built on Blizzard’s first outing and set the standard for basically every game that followed in its dungeon-crawling, loot-hauling footsteps. It might be a little clunky by modern standards, but there’s a special sauce to its brand of Sanctuary that still tastes sweet to this day. Despite going to the trouble of a full remaster, however, Blizzard has let D2 fall silent since the launch of Diablo...

Echo Point Nova is easily one of the coolest FPS games I’ve ever played. Developed by Greylock Studio, who also brought us the excellent Severed Steel, it’s an open-world movement shooter designed for co-op that also happens to feature a hoverboard and grapple hook. It has a profound sense of scale, incredible pace, and some of the slickest mobility the genre has ever seen. If you yearn for the Titanfall 3 that might never come, this is easily the next next thing.

Hey man, I thought Warrior was bad, too.

Here's what you can expect. Capcom outlined the changes to its Capcom Fighting Collection 2 last September and now it appears to have provided an update on select games in this new package. This covers not only changes but also additional settings and much more. Here's the rundown via Capcom's official website:

We won’t know what The Fantastic Four: First Steps is really about until it hits theaters this July. Or… won’t we? I’m Polygon’s resident comic book expert, and I’m ready to place some bets.  I may not know the plot of Marvel Studios’ big swing on Marvel’s First Family, but I bet I can predict...

Apple has pushed back the launch of its rumored smart home hub due to delayed Siri features, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. Gurman no longer expects the home hub to launch this month, but he has not provided a revised timeframe for the device's release. "At one point, the company had hoped to announce this product in March," he said, in his Power On newsletter today. "But because the device, to an extent, relies on the delayed Siri capabilities, it has been postponed as well." In the mean...

Creators always feel extra pressure when adapting work by their favorite authors. That pressure only multiplies when that author’s other work led to one of the most celebrated and popular television series ever. That was the test Paul W.S. Anderson and Milla Jovovich faced with In the Lost Lands, their new dark fantasy Western movie,...

A different kind of buzzkill.

It’s not been long since Shiro Games launched its most recent DLC for medieval fantasy RPG Wartales, but the indie studio has been hard at work since then on a wealth of additional improvements for the strategic mercenary sim based on community feedback. With more than a million sales of the base game and a Steam user score sitting at 90% positive, Shiro says it has “been extremely happy to read what you had to say about our latest DLC, The Skelmar Invasion, and Wartales in general.” Its latest ...

If you’re always on the lookout for a new Vampire Survivors style roguelike, Rogue: Genesia is worth your time. It’s one of the most beloved takes on the genre available on Steam, with a 92% positive rating from over 5,500 user reviews, and it just got even better. The 1.0 update is finally here, with plenty of new mechanics, quality-of-life-changes, and even more to get stuck into. Best of all, you can grab the game at a third off right now too.

Death Stranding 2: On the Beach will cost £70/$70/€80 for the standard edition and $230 for the collector's edition, according to a new leak, with "several physical editions" also teased.

It may be a while still before we see the smart home hub Apple is rumored to be working on. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the company has postponed the announcement of the upcoming product due to the issues it’s run into developing its “smarter” Siri. Gurman reported last month that the release of Apple’s upgraded Siri may be delayed, and Apple confirmed as much in a statement to Daring Fireball last week, saying it expects to roll out Siri’s more personalized features “in the coming yea...

Better, faster. In the same round of Switch 2 filings at the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) in the US, it seems Wi-Fi 6 support has been confirmed. As highlighted by The Verge, Wi-Fi 6 translates to "faster Wi-Fi in your Switch 2" - with the outlet expanding on what to potentially expect on this front (and what Nintendo's new hardware won't seemingly support):

Avowed is simply brimming with lore. A bundle of fantasy nations, a pantheon of gods, crystals of magic soul energy — it’s a lot to learn if you haven’t already played Obsidian’s two Pillars of Eternity games and their associated expansions. Luckily, Avowed is designed to make learning that lore as accessible and optional as...
