Perhaps like the loser of the proposed cage fight between Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg that's never, ever happening, X has been down and out for much of Monday. Down Detector saw a spike in outage reports from users between around 5:30 AM and 6:30AM ET. There were two more prolonged spikes, denoting more significant outages, later in the morning. Team Engadget has not been able to view tweets on X for the most part, save for a few brief moments when the service showed signed of life. The platfo...

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle's "spring" arrival on PS5 has been known for a good few months now, but with the season of daffodils and egg box art now almost upon us, we might finally have a specific release date to chew on. According to ultra-reliable leaker Billbil-kun, The Great Circle comes to Sony's consoles on 17th April, with pre-orders set to open soon.

A bunch of playtester footage for the next, modern-day-set Battlefield game has slipped past EA's non-disclosure agreements and erupted all over social media. The footage stems from the company's Battlefield Labs community testing program, and consists of multiple consecutive minutes of burly shootyfolks running down alleyways through showers of grit, firing very briefly at enemy troopers, and getting themselves bullet-bonked back to the lobby screen. EA had been taking the videos down, but have...

In 2024, Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer told Polygon he couldn’t stop thinking about what an Xbox handheld could be. Months later, Spencer told Bloomberg Microsoft had indeed been thinking about it, but that it’s a piece of hardware that’s still years out from becoming a reality. That plan seems to have shifted: Windows Central...

Let's-a save! It wouldn't be MAR10 Day without an eShop sale and today, Nintendo of America has kicked off just that. On top of the previously-announced retail discounts, the MAR10 Day sale is now underway over on the North American eShop, bringing some welcome savings to games starring the prized plumber and his pals. This one will be sticking around until 16th March at 11:59pm PT, so you have a little under a week to get in there and nab yourself a deal.

If the days feel a little longer, hopefully that’s because they are: At least in the U.S., daylight saving time is upon us. That comes with losing an hour yesterday, but gaining an hour of light at the end of our days (which will eventually feel really good, and not just like you’re running an...

FragPunk is an incredibly unique take on the tactical shooter genre. The 5v5 combat is immediately reminiscent of Counter-Strike and Valorant, but the characters and their abilities call hero shooters like Overwatch to mind as well. Then you have over 150 Shard Cards you can use to bend any match’s rules to your whim, adding another strategic layer to proceedings. Now that the free-to-play FPS has been on Steam for a few days, it’s already proving incredibly popular, and beating some of its bigg...

An interesting experiment by a YouTuber has shown the potential overclocking benefits of the AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT gaming GPU. In a series of tests, an overclocked PowerColor Red Devil RX 9070 XT with undervolting applied showed faster frame rates in Cyberpunk 2077 than an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080, despite being hundreds of dollars cheaper. This new AMD GPU is the first card in several years that has seriously challenged Nvidia’s near-total dominance of the market. The AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT is a ...

TCL just unveiled a new TV in its Precise Dimming Series. The QM7K is a Mini-LED TV and a follow-up to the recently-released QM6K. It uses the company’s Halo Control Technology Suite, which is kind of a catch-all name for a bunch of tweaks the company has made to the dimming and picture quality of its Mini LEDs. The company says the QM7K offers higher peak brightness than its predecessors and a new anti-reflective panel. TCL also promises “enhanced color accuracy, gray scale accuracy” and “virtu...

The free Apple Sports app for the iPhone was updated today with support for Formula 1 (F1) racing and UEFA Women's Champions League soccer. Apple has shown increased interest in F1 racing over the past few years. The company is releasing an F1 film starring Brad Pitt in theaters on June 27, and later on Apple TV+.

Astarion's farmin' on.

A new rumor has revealed the specs for several new Nvidia graphics cards, including the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060, expected to be among the next of the latest series of Nvidia graphics cards to launch. Purported specs for both the RTX 5060 and RTX 5060 Ti, along with the entry-level RTX 5050, have just been leaked X. These new Nvidia gaming GPUs won’t be the best graphics card chips out there for performance, focusing largely on the budget end of the market. They’re going to face tough competition...

Season two of HBO’s The Last of Us is just a month away, and as such the hype cycle kicked into full gear this past weekend. A full trailer finally arrived on Saturday during a panel at SXSW with the show’s creators and cast (not to mention an in-depth preview in Variety), and both that trailer and the panel discussion reinforced at least one major change coming this season: more action. That could fix one of the bigger complaints fans had about season one, which garnered tons of praise from cri...

Chatter up! A new patent from Nintendo seems to suggest that voice chat will be better implemented into Switch 2, finally overcoming one of our biggest complaints with 'Switch 1' (thanks, Wccftech). The patent was filed back in November 2024 before being published by the United States Patent Application Office late last month. The main thrust of the text and diagrams appears to outline something akin to in-game proximity chat, or as the summary confusingly puts it, when "the sound heard by the u...

In simplistic terms, Bong Joon Ho’s wry, satirical sci-fi saga Mickey 17 combines his other two English-language movies, merging the frigid setting of his post-apocalyptic action-drama Snowpiercer with the animal-loving sentimentality of his food-industry fable Okja. The new film, in which Robert Pattinson plays several kooky versions of the same disposable worker drone, is Bong’s...

Another Mario Day has arrived, and while we’re still waiting for a sequel to the Nintendo Switch, Lego did take this opportunity to announce its largest Mario Kart set ever. A variety of online retailers are also offering discounts on games, Lego sets, and accessories featuring Mario and other members of the Mushroom Kingdom. Right...

In just 48 hours, Split Fiction has sold an impressive 1m units.

Control is a game with an impeccable sense of visual direction. The story of Jesse Faden’s trip through The Oldest House is certainly gripping and the gameplay is tight, but it’s the vibes that keep me coming back. The brutalist architecture flawlessly integrates with Remedy’s science fiction and excellent world-building to make Control an experience unlike any other, and it’s just got even better. A new update from Remedy adds some platform exclusive content to PC, and brings plenty of graphica...

It can't hurt to be sure, can it?

Arriving two and a half years after the previous model, the new ‌iPad‌ offers a modest spec bump, with no changes to design, cameras, or display technology.

Remedy has released a free content update for its Control Ultimate Edition.

Sony has sneakily debuted two new PlayStation 5 slim bundles that include a download voucher for the beloved platforming game Astro Bot (Astro’s Playroom still comes pre-installed) and will launch on March 13. The consoles lack any sort of unique Astro Bot-themed design — not even the tough-to-find limited edition Astro Bot DualSense is included...

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Ghostwire: Tokyo is one of Bethesda's most overlooked RPGs. Its gorgeous surrealist reimagining of modern-day Tokyo and fluid, magic-based combat system keeps me coming back at least once a year, even although I've played it at least three times already. If you've missed it when it's been free on Epic or discounted on Steam, this new Fanatical deal means you can pick it up for just $7 when bundled alongside various top-tier JRPGs and anime games, with a...

I think I’ve used the Reese’s peanut butter cup analogy way too many times for mod stories, so let’s just say Baldur’s Village, an expansive Stardew Valley mod uploaded to NexusMods on March 8, appears to be the perfect combination for folks who love both Eric “ConcernedApe” Barone’s seemingly infinite farming sim and Baldur’s Gate...

Call of Duty's original Verdansk map is set to return on 3rd April.
