Snap, the company behind the Snapchat social network, has been quietly working on AR glasses for the last several months, and this week, the developer-only AR Spectacles were updated with some new features. Developers can now build GPS-based experiences for things like creating interactive walking paths, getting directions, tracking fitness metrics, and playing games. Snap also added updated hand tracking capabilities for grabbing items and improving typing with the AR keyboard, plus new feature...

MrBeast's Squid Game clone is back for a second season despite controversy and lawsuits.

Google's software fix for older Chromecasts devices that weren't casting is rolling out now, according to an email the company sent to impacted owners. You can view the text of the email in the Google Nest Community pages. If you didn't factory-reset your device, it may already be working. If you're still not able to cast, though, Google recommends rebooting your device and trying again. Any Chromecasts that were accidentally reset to factory settings will need to be reconnected in the latest ve...

With the second beta of macOS 15.4 that was released earlier in March, Apple changed System Settings to hide how much local storage space Apple Intelligence takes up on a Mac. Making the change led to accusations that Apple was trying to hide the size of ‌Apple Intelligence‌, and so with the fourth macOS 15.4 beta that came out today, Apple made ‌Apple Intelligence‌'s storage requirements easy to find once again. To see ‌Apple Intelligence‌ storage space, you can go to System Settings > General ...

Wizards of the Coast has announced a new Chaos Vault Secret Lair for Magic: The Gathering featuring adorable cats and dogs.

Sunrise on the Reaping, the highly-anticipated Hunger Games prequel book, comes out tomorrow. It’ll tell the story of the Second Quarter Quell, the Hunger Games that Katniss’s gruff mentor Haymitch won. Considering the success of the previous Hunger Games prequel, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, which was all about the dark origin of despotic...

The release of the Pixel 9a is apparently very near, because after a regular cadence of leaks about the yet-to-be announced budget phone, at least two YouTubers have reviewed it early. Both The Mobile Central and Sahil Karoul have Google's new phone and released reviews that confirm a lot of the information that trickled out about the budget phone since the Pixel 8a was released. The biggest and easiest to grasp are the visual changes. The Pixel 9a doesn't have Google's trademark camera bump, op...

"Delta? Come in Delta...". Atari cannot stop reviving its classic arcade titles at the moment, and we keep lapping them up. This time around, the legendary developer and publisher has teamed up with Canadian studios Mighty Yell and 13AM Games to bring back the 1980 shoot 'em up Missile Command. Missile Command Delta is a brand new, turn-based tactical take on the series which blends strategic gameplay with mystery and puzzle solving. It's a far cry from what we're used to from Missile Command, b...

The typical design of a newer Apple Store The new store opens on Saturday, March 22 at 10 a.m. local time, according to Apple's website.

Powerful multi-port power banks are becoming increasingly popular to keep our ever-growing array of gadgets charged up, and Alogic's new Ark Pro power bank brings some nice versatility to the table. I've spent a few weeks testing out the Ark Pro, and I've found that it packs a nice punch with 27,600 mAh of juice and a trio of USB ports and the ability to charge a laptop at up to 140 watts. You'll find a lot of beefy power banks coming in at around this same mAh rating, and that's because 27,600 ...

You might want to put a pause on Rise of the Ronin or your save data could get erased.

EA Sports FC 25 is the only Switch game in the top 5. The onslaught of new releases on other platforms continues to dominate the UK physical game charts this week, as yet another PS5 and Xbox Series game clinches the top spot. WWE 2K25 slams into first place, knocking last week's number one Split Fiction comfortably down to fourth. We don't think Hazelight will mind too much, though, given that the game has already sold well over 2 million copies. We'll ask again: Switch 2 when?

Call of Duty veteran Jason Blundell has confirmed previous reports he's heading up a new PlayStation first-party studio, revealing it to be named Dark Outlaw Games.

Jason Blundell's new operation is called Dark Outlaw Games.

In the latest issue of Weekly Famitsu, a poll lists Pragmata as the magazine readership’s third most wanted game despite its indefinite delay almost two years ago. Pragmata received 466 votes, pushing it past big names like Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, Pokémon Legends: Z-A, and Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, all of which actually...

Announced at The Mix + Kinda FunnySpring Game Showcase Monday, Atari is bringing back ’80s arcade defense game Missile Command. Titled Missile Command Delta, the new game comes from from 13AM Games and Mighty Yell and looks to be a more elaborate reimagining than we’re used to from Atari’s revivals. This isn’t the first time...

On February 9, Apple started offering "extra credit" for Mac trade-ins in the U.S. and select other countries, but the offer is quite misleading. Apple's website says the extra trade-in credit for Macs is available with the purchase of an eligible new Apple device through April 2, yet the values listed have already decreased before that date, which is something the average customer likely wouldn't realize. As of February 9, the listed trade-in values had increased by between $10 and $50 in the U...

The original Looney Tunes animated shorts that aired between the 1930 and 1969 are no longer available to stream on Max, Deadline reports. Warner Bros. Discovery removed them from the streaming service as part of its ongoing shift away from children's shows and towards adult and family programming. For now, newer Looney Tunes series and spin-offs remain, like New Looney Tunes and Baby Looney Tunes, but the decision still feels odd because Warner Bros. Discovery just released The Day The Earth Bl...

"Defy the eye". Atari and Llamasoft have announced that I, Robot will be coming to Switch on 17th April 2025. Following on from the pair's previous retro reimagining Akka Arrh, I, Robot is a psychedelic update of a classic 1984 arcade shooter. Renowned and celebrated for being the first commercially produced arcade game rendered in , flat-shaded, real-time, 3D polygonal graphics, it wasn't much of a hit otherwise, but trust Jeff Minter to bring a bit of magic to the rerelease.

Those stranded Starliner astronauts are finally coming back to Earth, with a touchdown expected on Tuesday evening. Coverage begins on Monday night at around 10:45PM ET, with streams available on NASA’s website and via the NASA+ app. Monday night’s stream will focus on the hatch closing and the undocking procedure. The stream will go dark until 4:45PM ET on Tuesday as the crew approaches splashdown. The arrival is scheduled for around 5:57PM ET and a live press conference is set for 7:30PM ET. T...

Eight days. That’s how long Boeing Starliner’s mission — its first flight test with crew aboard — was supposed to last. But this mission has been singular in almost every way, and astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams have instead spent the past nine and a half months aboard the International Space Station. Now, finally, they're headed home. Their SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule is slated to begin undocking from the ISS at 1:05 am ET Tuesday and is scheduled for splashdown at 5:57 pm ET, accordi...

Salt, pinched. While we're all patiently waiting for 2nd April and the next round of official Switch 2 news from Nintendo, some fans are pulling out the cork boards and red string to try and glean any more information about the upcoming console launch. We assume that word of a release date is right around the corner, but until then, this recent theory is a doozy (thanks, NME). The rumour in question was shared on Twitter by content creator ThunderStash Gaming, and it suggests that the Switch 2 l...

It’s been more than eight years since we were first introduced to the Nintendo Switch. What was once seen as a bold new concept and a reinvention of Nintendo’s console business — a move that initially spooked investors — now feels pretty normal. Widespread adoption certainly helped. Since 2017, Nintendo has sold a staggering 150 million Switch...

Disney has introduced a new promotion on its streaming service this month, offering a bundle of Disney+ (with ads) and Hulu (with ads) for $2.99 per month for four months. This offer represents a savings of 72 percent on the Disney+/Hulu bundle, and after four months it will return to the traditional $10.99 per month price point. Note: MacRumors is an affiliate partner with Disney+. When you click a link and make a purchase, we may receive a small payment, which helps us keep the site running. T...

"Metro has always had a hard-hitting, political, anti-war and often emotional story—and you can be sure these themes will continue."

Twitter may be dead, but the 12-foot tall bird logo from its San Francisco headquarters can be yours forever if you have enough money. The sign — one of two birds that formerly adorned Twitter’s office — is up for auction. The massive logo that marked the company’s headquarters on San Francisco's Market Street is undoubtedly one of the most iconic symbols associated with the social media company. (The sign was unceremoniously removed after Musk’s rebranding of the company to X.) Unsurprisingly, ...

Silent Games and Secret Mode have announced that their acrobatic, pensive action-RPG Empyreal will launch on 8th May, with a demo still available on Steam. I hadn't come across Empyreal before, but I already have Opinions, mostly positive. Firstly, the fonts for damage number pop-ups are... weirdly stringy, given the heft and colour of the character models and environments. There's barely any meat on them. It makes me feel like I'm beating up a checkout machine, not thwacking golems. Secondly, I...

There are plenty of ways to customize your appearance in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, the most recent being the new barber shop feature that lets you give Henry a fresh trim, but some of the most desirable cosmetics were dished out in the RPG’s opening weeks through Twitch Drops. Now, Warhorse Studios says that it’s going to make these previously Twitch-exclusive rewards available to all players, but you’ll still need to jump through some hoops.

This week the big news is, of course, the Severance finale. After really popping off this season and giving us more intrigue than ever, we’re finally nearing the completion of the Cold Harbor file and god, who knows what they’re going to do to Gemma (Dichen Lachman)? I’m on the edge of my seat, and...

If you woke up to a Windows PC suddenly without Microsoft's Copilot app installed, you didn't dream the last few years of AI hype, Microsoft just made a mistake. The latest monthly Windows 11 update that rolled out on March 11 "unintentionally uninstalled and unpinned" the AI assistant, according to a Microsoft support article spotted by The Verge. Microsoft is aware that Copilot's gone missing and is "working on a resolution to address this issue." For now, if you want Copilot back, you can red...

According to Microsoft's Phil Spencer, the highly anticipated Xbox handheld is "several years out" and only exists in prototype form, so what should we make of last week's news that actually, we may see a handheld later on this year? Leaks are suggesting that Microsoft has put together some kind of OEM device proposition, with Asus lined up to produce the first 'Project Kennan' handheld. In my opinion, expectations from this device should be tempered and we should think of it more as one further...

Or perhaps you have..! Nightdive Studios, famed for its remarkably comprehensive remasters and ports of classics and curios alike, has announced that it is bringing I Have No Mouth, And I Must Scream to the Nintendo Switch on 27th March 2025. Originally released in 1995 by Cyberdreams and The Dreamers Guild, rights to the game were subsequently purchased by Nightdive in 2013, with a release on PC and Mobile following soon after. It was a commercial failure at the time of its original launch, but...

LG's brand new 45-inch Ultragear GX9 curved OLED gaming monitor, featuring the world's first 5K2K display, is finally available to pre-order. Originally revealed in December 2024, this brand-new display also has a 0.03ms response time and a 330Hz refresh rate when it's running in its 2560 x 1,080 mode. This new LG OLED gaming monitor is positioned as one of the best gaming monitors on paper and LG says it was engineered for the "most demanding gamers." Its $1,999 price tag might be sky-high, but...
