The post Become a Space Palaeontologist in No Man’s Sky’s Relics Update, Available Today appeared first on Xbox Wire.

A lot of fossil over nothing. No Man's Sky has been expanding its galaxy outwards for years now, but what about looking inwards? What's under the surface of those infinite planets we've been exploring and how much of a field day would Animal Crossing: New Horizons' Blathers have sorting through the treasures hidden within? That's what the game's latest update, 'Relics', is here to answer — not the Blathers bit, you'll have to make that up for yourself. In this new patch, Hello Games is letting u...

StarCraft, the classic real-time strategy game created by Blizzard Entertainment, is being turned into a miniatures game. Polish game publisher and plastics manufacturer Archon Studio made the announcement early Wednesday morning in a blog post, pegging the initial release for 2026. A series of board games set in the same universe is said to follow...

Five years after it was first launched globally, Square Enix confirms War of the Visions: Final Fantasy Brave Exvius will shut down in May, following in the footsteps of its predecessor. SE and Gumi’s mobile-based tactical RPG is a spin-off from the original Brave Exvius - the global support for which ended in October 2024 - and features gameplay inspired by the beloved Final Fantasy Tactics. But War of the Visions will now be discontinued in just over two months.

There are some clear stalwarts in the city-building genre. There's Cities Skylines, SimCity, and more recent additions like Dystopika. Overthrown, however, does things a bit differently, tasking you with creating a new township by lifting entire buildings or throwing boulders out of your way. The chaotic indie title has just gotten a slew of new content as part of its Nature Update, adding a host of new features, including everything from brand new weapons of mass destruction to giant mutant boa...

A new Nintendo Direct show has been revealed for tomorrow, and it'll feature around 30 minutes of info about upcoming Switch games.

I don’t review a lot of $650 headphones. That’s because most audio companies sell their top-of-the-line gear around $300-$400. Noble Audio isn’t like most companies. The FoKus Rex5 earbuds, for example, cram in five separate drivers where much of the competition uses two at the most. Noble was also among the first to employ xMEMS drivers in wireless earbuds in a bid to improve bass performance. Enter the FoKus Apollo, a $649 pair of active noise canceling (ANC) headphones with a detachable boom ...

Nintendo will be hosting a Nintendo Direct presentation tomorrow, 27th March.

From a daring rogue to a regal lady, Noae and Yasuke have some fun company.

We're in the middle of Amazon's "Big Spring Sale," which includes deals and offers on everything from Apple devices to clothes, kitchen electronics, furniture, and much more.

It’s almost comical how many free expansions Hello Games have now released for No Man’s Sky, and the studio shows no signs of stopping. On Wednesday March 26, a new update called Relics went live in No Man’s Sky. Relics, as the name suggests, is all about unearthing hidden treasure and skeletal remains from beneath...

A new Nintendo Direct showcase is coming on March 27, Nintendo announced Wednesday. The new Direct will focus on games coming to the original Nintendo Switch, the company said, not the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. It appears to be one of the last, if not the last, Nintendo Direct events dedicated to Nintendo’s current-generation console....

30 minutes of news for OG Switch games. A Nintendo Direct presentation has been confirmed for Thursday, 27th March 2025 focused solely on Switch games. Here's what time you'll need to tune in...

There are already plenty of reasons why you might want to get out your Terrain Manipulator and dig a big ol’ hole on one of No Man’s Sky’s quintillions of planets. Maybe you’ve scanned and located a buried tech module. Maybe you’re mining some resources. Or maybe you’re just seeing if you can tunnel your way to the other side of whatever world you’re on (spoiler: you can’t). With today’s new No Man’s Sky update, titled Relics, there’s now an even more compelling reason to get digging, because yo...

No Man’s Sky already lets players dig deep into the terrain of its near-infinite universe of planets, but now there will actually be cool stuff to find. Hello Games just announced general availability of a new update called Relics that brings a bit of Indiana Jones to everyone’s favorite space exploration sim. The update lets players "feel like true paleontologists" as they dig up the “skeletal remains of alien creatures.” When bones are discovered, folks can piece them together to match their o...

The post Indie Selects for March 2025: Spring Into Your Next Adventure appeared first on Xbox Wire.

Grit & Valor – 1949 is the tale of an alternate timeline in which the Nazis got hold of mechs and promptly overran the British Isles. As Nic semi-alluded last year, you could summarise the game itself as the product of a timeline in which the people behind Wolfenstein: The New Order decided to make Into the Breach instead. Except that it isn’t quite as deviously made, based on the demo, and it isn’t turn-based. Ah, I do kind of wish it was turn-based.

We cover a lot of things at Polygon, but nothing gets us more excited lately than the Nintendo Switch 2. And now you have a chance to win your very own Switch 2! All you need to do is take a few seconds to submit an entry. If selected, you’ll win a new Switch 2....

Well you certainly can't accuse No Man's Sky of becoming predictable. Nine years after its launch, Hello Games' exploratory space sim is still somehow finding ways to surprise - and that continues with its new palaeontology themed Relics update, which is out today on all platforms.

Mobile strategy RPG War of the Visions: Final Fantasy Brave Exvius is to shut down permanently in May, Square Enix has revealed.

The last few years have seen an ongoing debate over what rights AI companies have to utilize copyrighted material. The latest development tips the scales in favor of use: A judge has rejected Universal Music Group, ABKCO and other music publishers' preliminary bid to block Anthropic from using their lyrics to train its AI assistant Claude, Reuters reports.  US District Judge Eumi Lee ruled that UMG and co had submitted too broad a request and failed to demonstrate that Anthropic's use of the lyr...

"He LOVED Melee". Pro Super Smash Bros. Melee player Aziz "Hax$" Al-Yami has died at the age of 30. A GoFundMe page was set up earlier this week, with the accompanying social media post saying Hax was "fighting for his life". The page now carries a new message confirming that he "passed away peacefully" on the morning of Tuesday 25th March.

Waze is removing Google Assistant support from its iOS app after more than a year of buggy behavior and functionality issues, and will replace it with a new Gemini-based "Conversational Reporting" feature that aims to make hands-free navigation safer and more intuitive. As reported by Tech-Issues Today, the Google-owned navigation app has acknowledged that iOS users have experienced significant problems with Google Assistant integration, which has led to the decision to nix the feature rather th...

When it debuted in 2022, Apple’s 10th-generation iPad sat in something of a no-man’s land, bringing a long-overdue design revamp at an inflated price. A year and a half later, Apple gave the slate a $100 price cut and immediately turned it into a much more enticing value. Now, the company has quietly released a follow-up. Dubbed the iPad (A16), the new tablet is a far less dramatic update, one with welcome performance improvements that otherwise refuses to rock the boat. It even lacks the Apple ...

Sony and Polyphony Digital have announced Gran Turismo 7 Update 1.57, and it's bringing a classic British car and more later today.

Apple's next-generation CarPlay experience is still nowhere to be seen following Porsche's announcement of a major upgrade of its infotainment system for 2026. The upcoming 2026 model year Porsche Taycan, 911, Panamera, and Cayenne feature an upgraded version of the Porsche Communication Management (PCM) system, making it more responsive, adding Dolby Atmos support, and integrating Amazon's Alexa voice assistant. The new system brings the Porsche App Center, a kind of app store for the vehicle, ...

In the United States, the Apple Card offers a high-yield savings account option, allowing you to earn far more interest on your money compared to the average bank's basic savings account. However, the account's interest rate was lowered this week, with the annual percentage yield (APY) dropping from 3.9% to 3.75%. If you deposited $1,000 into the account, and maintained that balance for one year, you would earn $37.50 in interest based on the current APY. The chart below compares the Apple Card ...

"Is that what the guy playing your Path of Exile 2 account told you?"

In unsurprising news, the AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT launch has apparently been a huge success so far for the chipmaker. An interview with AMD’s CEO provided some additional insight into the launch of this new gaming GPU, with the RX 9070 XT described as a “fantastic success” that led to ten times more first-week sales compared to last-gen AMD Radeon GPU launches. AMD has done extremely well to position the RX 9070 XT as the go-to choice for most gamers, which is why it’s now the top recommendation f...

Block has laid off 931 workers, which make up around eight percent of its entire staff, according to TechCrunch and The Guardian. The publications have viewed an email, wherein the financial technology company's co-founder and CEO, Jack Dorsey, has discussed the latest organizational changes. Dorsey said that Block is eliminating roles based on three areas, starting with strategy. The company is letting 391 people go, because it's reducing "teams that are off strategy." It's also parting ways wi...

Breaking the mould. Breakout Beyond comes from Bit.Trip developer Choice Provisions and sees you paddle your way through a total of 72 levels (plus an unlockable ‘Infinite Mode’), most of which are based on iconic Atari developers or IP, like ‘NOHLENN’ (Nolan Bushnell) and ‘RAH-BAHNET’ (Warren Robinett). With plentiful neon and a gentle, abstract soundtrack, Breakout Beyond is an oddly therapeutic game that, while challenging at times, eases you into a deep sense of calm with its presentation. B...

The most powerful graphics card you can buy right now is actually pretty worthless if you don’t have the right PC gaming setup. Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 5090 is at its best when paired with a 4K monitor that can reach high refresh rates, like 144 Hz or 240 Hz. Anything less than that diminishes the...

Boris wakes up early, Mother Ostankya gets a little bit homesick, plus a bundle of quality-of-life tweaks.

A day without a company announcing some new way AI can supposedly make our lives better is rare. Today it's Amazon, which has announced a new AI-powered feature called "Interests." It lets you enter personalized shopping prompts based on your, well, interests and price limits — and it arrives just in time for Amazon's Spring Sale.  Interests can handle prompts with everyday language, like "Brewing tools and gadgets for coffee lovers" or "Natural makeup products for summer glow from top brands." ...
