Pitched as a cute, approachable “Souls-lite,” Slime Heroes combines two of my favorite things in video games: adorable slimes and Dark Souls-style gameplay. Despite some good ideas, Slime Heroes’ recipe doesn’t quite work. Yes, it’s cute, but it also feels frustrating, clumsy, and unfinished. Slime Heroes casts the player as a colorful, customizable blob who fights...

Mega Man, Resident Evil, Ghost Trick all discounted. Capcom is having a huge eShop sale right now in the US, with up to 75% off of some of the studio's biggest IPs. Thanks to the ever-reliable Wario64 for bringing this to our attention! Monster Hunter is among the biggest here, and while the franchise is currently eating up everyone's free time on other consoles, those curious about what MonHun is might be tempted to dive into Monster Hunter Rise on Switch at a heavily discounted price of $9.99 ...

Firecell stones are an equipment material in Monster Hunter Wilds. You’ll have a chance at collecting them from mining outcrops once you reach High Rank or earn them as rewards for certain High Rank hunts. You’ll need firecell stones to forge weapons like the Paladin Lance and armor like the Damascus Greaves. Our Monster Hunter...

Go to a profile of any celebrity on Wikipedia and it's quite possible that you'll be met with a terrible photo of them. Such images are often old or out of focus, perhaps captured candidly on a smartphone at a public event. A group of volunteer photographers has set out to fix that, as 404 Media reports. Any media uploaded to Wikipedia has to be made freely available for anyone to use. Given that professional photographers want to make money from their work, they don't tend to share their photos...

Complete with a soldier crying with joy.

If you thought the 11-year wait for GTA 6 was bad, or the ever increasing gap between Skyrim and The Elder Scrolls 6 is getting you down, at least you haven’t had to wait as long as platformer fans have for Beyond the Ice Palace 2. Well, today their pain is finally relieved. The Metroidvania sequel has just dropped on PC, 37 years on from the release of the first game all the way back in 1988.

Microsoft is reportedly preparing to release its next-gen Xbox Series X/S successor in 2027, with its much-rumoured handheld Xbox arriving later this year.

AMD just debuted its new FidelityFX Super Resolution 4 (FSR 4) upscaling tech on the latest Radeon RX 9070 and 9070 Ti GPUs, and it sounds like it might not be limited PCs. According to a new Digital Foundry interview with Mark Cerny, some version of FSR 4 will make it into the PlayStation 5 Pro via a software update rather than new hardware. "Our target is to have something very similar to FSR 4's upscaler available on PS5 Pro for 2026 titles as the next evolution of PSSR," Cerny tells Digital ...

Apple is planning for a major design overhaul of the iPhone, iPad, and Mac interfaces with the introduction of iOS 19, iPadOS 19, and macOS 16 later this year, reports Bloomberg. The update will "fundamentally change" the look of Apple's operating system, introducing a more consistent cross-platform experience. Apple plans to update the style of icons, menus, apps, windows, and system buttons, and the company will simplify the way that users navigate and control their devices. The changes "go we...

The fantastic third-person adventure Control, developed by Remedy Entertainment, just got a surprise software update. The biggest news here is HDR support, which should be a real boon for graphics-minded gamers. Interestingly, HDR support started as a mod. It was made by a Remedy dev as a passion project and now it’s in the actual game. That’s always nice to hear. There’s a video below with a lot more information as to how this was done. The update also brings improved DLSS support. The game now...

The post How Fate: Reawakened Elevates the Series Like Never Before appeared first on Xbox Wire.

Today's update also adds some previously preorder-exclusive cosmetics, official HDR support, and more.

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.

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.
