Sorry to everyone who was waiting for Sonos to release a streaming video device — it seems that's not happening anytime soon. The company is said to have canceled the long-expected product, which was reportedly far along in development. Sonos leadership announced the cancellation in an all-hands call on Wednesday, according to The Verge. Interim CEO Tom Conrad says that, "for now," the company won't enter the streaming video market. The team that was working on the project, codenamed Pinewood, i...

If you're Star Fox fan then the latest Humble Games Showcase might just be for you, with its tease of a brand-new airborne on-rails shooter from Star Fox veteran Giles Goddard. But there's more where that came from, including weather-controlling corgis and the re-emergence of long-gestating heist sequel Monaco 2. Intrigued? Then read on for the full rundown.

It’s been almost 20 years since the first Titan Quest graced our PCs - a mighty, Diablo-rivaling action RPG entrenched in Greek mythology. There’s been plenty of excitement for its long-awaited sequel (even if the ARPG space is incredibly crowded at the moment) and your first chance to play Titan Quest 2 is now just around the corner. Ahead of its early access launch, developer Grimlore Games is recruiting “thousands” of playtesters to give TQ2 a spin.

A recent kerfuffle over AI art forced the Balatro creator to get involved.

iRobot, the creator of the Roomba and the company that popularized robot vacuums in the first place, told investors on Wednesday that it has "substantial doubt about [its] ability to continue." Beyond declining sales — the company reported that revenue decreased 47 percent in the US over the prior year in its fourth quarter earnings — iRobot is also struggling to pay off its debts. The company took on a $200 million bridge loan to stay afloat while it waited for its $1.7 billion acquisition deal...

Lemokey managed to win me over with its P1 HE keyboard, which offers a level of features and customization that’s unparalleled at $170. Its Hall-effect switches, excellent acoustics, and aluminum chassis aren’t common to find in a keyboard under $200. These features made the P1 HE my daily driver, and I was excited to try...

The second season of the fantastic detective dramedy Poker Face starts streaming via Peacock on May 8. There’s a trailer and it spotlights the many guest stars that will be showing up as suspects in the second season. These include folks like John Mulaney, playing a cop of some kind, and early 2000s heartthrob Katie Holmes. That’s just the tip of the iceberg. Fans of the first season know that Poker Face loves itself some guest stars. Giancarlo Esposito, Awkwafina, Justin Theroux, Cynthia Erivo ...

The new Mac Studio models with M4 Max and M3 Ultra chips support Low Power Mode, according to an Apple support document updated today. Apple says turning on Low Power Mode reduces the Mac Studio's fan noise, which is useful for tasks that require a quieter environment, and it also allows for reduced power consumption if the computer is left running continuously. The reduced fan noise aspect of Low Power Mode requires macOS Sequoia 15.1 or later. The new Mac Studio ships with macOS Sequoia 15.3. ...

Brave and with heart. If you're a fan of the absurdly charming platforming series Dadish, then you'll be pleased to know that developer Thomas K. Young's next game, Be Brave, Barb, is bringing even more immaculate adorability to the Switch eShop today. Much like the dev's previous titles, Be Brave, Barb is a sweet platformer with a twist of comedy. In this one, you play as Barb (naturally), a somewhat nervous cactus (again, naturally) on a quest to find her lost book of positive affirmations (na...

Human Torch certainly isn’t the worst hero in Marvel Rivals, but he’s far from the best — maybe too far for one of the newest additions to the game. According to RivalsMeta, Human Torch is one of the weakest heroes right now. His winrate isn’t much higher than Black Widow, who has consistently been at...

I guess it's time for an upgrade.

For years, one of the most highly requested additions to World of Warcraft has been player housing. Late last year, Blizzard finally caved, revealing that a WoW housing system would be coming to the game in late 2025. Even though we’re many months away, the studio has just given us a fresh taste of what to expect by providing an early look at interior decorating, which is actually way more detailed and unrestricted than I thought it would be.

Not even a month ago, Polygon’s Petrana Radulovic called for the ad campaign of the live-action remake of Lilo & Stitch to show us any characters other than Stitch. And today, with Disney’s release of the first full trailer I can confidently say: “No, no, stop, that was too many live-action characters. What have you...

"You are laying band-aid on top of band-aid on top of band-aid."

Working out how long Monster Hunter Wilds is depends on the sort of player you are. This game is all about the grind, and you’ll be able to play it for hundreds of hours if you’d like to — but there are only so many quests for you to complete and only so monsters to...

Starting High Rank in Monster Hunter Wilds is when the “real” game begins and many of the juiciest features unlock — and as such, players will be itching to get there as soon as possible. As with previous entries, there is a neat split between Low Rank and High Rank, and this guide explains the...

Announced Wednesday during the Humble Games Showcase, developer Chuhai Labs — the studio founded by original Star Fox programmer Giles Goddard — is working on a Star Fox spiritual successor called Wild Blue.  Shown in a brief teaser trailer and detailed via a press release and Steam page, the game will be a rail-shooter complete...

You might know Le Creuset from its premium ceramic cookware, but did you know that it made a striking collection of plates, cups, and other crockery inspired by Pokémon? Its collection has been available in international markets for nearly a year, but it hasn’t been easy to buy the cookware stateside — until now. If...

Apple refreshed the MacBook Air lineup last week, and those new models are available starting today. We picked up one of the M4 ‌MacBook Air‌ models for a quick unboxing and first impressions overview. Subscribe to the MacRumors YouTube channel for more videos. If you've seen the M2 or M3 ‌MacBook Air‌ models, then you know exactly what the M4 version looks like.

Widespread problems with stuttering, low frame rates, and sub-par graphics have saddled Rise of the Ronin with a "mixed" rating on Steam.

Lingering snags from Endwalker have left Dawntrail's early months feeling a bit strange, but the road ahead looks brighter.

Defiance, indeed.

Sunblink has announced that cozy life sim Hello Kitty Island Adventure has managed to sell half a million copies since January.

One of my favorite games is Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines, and I’ve always been enamored with that game’s depiction of its nightlife. The Asylum, Confession, and Vesuvius are all bars and clubs owned by vampires, each with its own vibe. So, when The Sims 4 developer Maxis launched a new expansion all about creating...

Assassin's Creed Shadows might run on the Steam Deck after all. In a huge u-turn from what was posted during a fan Q&A a few weeks ago, Ubisoft has come out and stated it has submitted the game to Valve for classification, meaning it could be rated Playable or Verified come launch day. In my original story, the technology director of Assassin's Creed Shadows, Pierre F, stated that the game would not support the Steam Deck "at launch." This left the door open for future support, but due to fan de...

Many people using older Chromecast devices experienced a shock in recent days when their units lost the ability to cast content. The company ended the brand last year, which led folks to think that this was a planned obsolescence of some kind. Here’s some good news. It’s just a software issue and Google is working on it. The company sent an email to users to say that its engineers are "working to resolve this as soon as possible, and will keep you updated when there is more to share.” Google was...

If I were ever trying to get my dad hooked on videogames, Ground of Aces is the type of thing I’d show him. His countless hours watching WW2 documentaries, building model Spitfires, and being positively obsessed with the logistics of the conflict make me certain he’d enjoy it. For me, and all you strategy heads reading this, however, it’s got all the management, base building, and minute detail we’ve come to love on PC. Ground of Aces has a little for everyone, then, and a new demo means you can...

7 GHz-plus computing here we come...?

Be warned. Back in April 2024 you may remember a flurry of excitement when Landfall's Content Warning released for PC. A first-person co-op horror game which involves capturing footage of scary events and uploading it to 'SpöökTube' for likes and clout, it was made free to download for 24 hours at launch and its blend of quirky comedy and genuine scares proved to be a hit. Switch has seen its fair share of shocking clones recently, the latest of which appears to rip off Landfall's game. Out tomo...

Wanna read AI’s take on teenage poetry? Eh, not especially…

Gold Veins are a resource you can mine in Fortnite. Gold Veins provide you with Gold Rush and bars. With the Chapter 6 Season 2’s golden theme, there’s an excess amount of bars for the taking in the lawless lands. An easy way to gain bars is by mining Gold Veins that are found around...

Wanderstop director and co-writer Davey Wreden watched two shows when he was making the game: Better Call Saul and BoJack Horseman. The shows, he told Polygon ahead of Wanderstop’s release, “are deeply empathic stories about troubled people in a difficult world just trying to do their best.” Both of them, Wreden said, influenced the characters...

New Crusader Kings 3 DLC Khans of the Steppe is set to kickstart the fourth chapter of Paradox Interactive’s finest creation. The studio’s grand strategy game lineup ranges all the way across history, from Europa Universalis 4 to Hearts of Iron 4, and even stretches across the stars as the likes of Stellaris blends the boundaries into the 4X realm. Yet CK3 feels, to me, the most definitive of its experiences to date - and now the developer unveils its next set of expansions and add-ons, beginnin...

Apple supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo today reiterated his belief that a new HomePod with a screen will enter mass production in the third quarter of 2025. Kuo is likely referring to Apple's rumored smart home hub, which is expected to have a square iPad-like screen that can be attached to a HomePod-like speaker base, or mounted on a wall. If his timeframe is accurate, it means that the device would enter mass production after Apple's annual developers conference WWDC in June. Kuo originally p...
