The Apple Watch and AirPods may finally have some competition from third-party accessories.

According to Mark Gurman in the Power On newsletter this weekend, we may see at least two devices with Apple’s upcoming M5 chip before the end of the year. Gurman reports that the M5 iPad Pro has reached the late stages of testing, putting it “on track for production in the second half of this year.” And the M5 MacBook Pro should be here sometime in the fall, in line with the timing of the past few years’ releases. This year’s iPad Pro likely won’t be the generation that adopts Apple’s in-house ...

"He would try to constantly get us to play ranked with him, and I'm 90% sure it was just because we could carry him."

J'accuse!

"Student projects and game jams are especially playful and rewarding opportunities for devs and actors to collaborate."

Take-Two Interactive boss Strauss Zelnick has revealed why the publisher is keeping Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto 6's release date such a closely guarded secret.

It's a delightful blend of visual novel-style dialogue and JRPG-inspired combat wrapped in vibrant pixel-art visuals and with a storming soundtrack, and you’ll now get the complete experience for one price.

An AI overhaul may be on the horizon for Apple’s Health app. In the Power On newsletter, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reports that Apple is working on a much more comprehensive version of its Health app under the code name Project Mulberry, with plans to integrate an AI agent that would somewhat “replicate” a doctor and act as a personal health coach. In addition to making lifestyle recommendations based on users’ health data, the app will reportedly include educational videos from real doctors about...

Riven developer Cyan Worlds has cut its staff count by half.

I haven’t watched Novocaine yet, but I’m looking forward to it. The action comedy about a man who doesn’t feel pain and looks to save his co-worker from a hostage situation has been described to me as “what if the Crank movies were romantic comedies,” which sounds exactly up my alley. My wait for the...

Cyan Worlds is one of oldest indie studios around, but in a statement said the layoffs were "not a surprise."

Nintendo's upcoming live-action Legend of Zelda movie could be the first of a trilogy of Zelda-flavoured films.

The Sims has a new rival in town, and it’s off to an impressive start. The first-weekend player count for Krafton’s InZOI has seen the realistic life sim blow past its most senior inspiration and rival on Steam - although it’s still yet to top the lifetime peak that The Sims 4 has reached on the Valve platform. Early user reviews are also strong, and there’s a lot of praise for the game’s impressive visuals. As game director Hyungjun ‘Kjun’ Kim tells me, however, that direction didn’t come witho...

Bloomberg's Mark Gurman today shared some details about future devices. In his Power On newsletter, Gurman said that Apple is already in the early stages of developing iPad Pro models with an M6 chip and an Apple-designed 5G modem, an entry-level iPad 12 with a newer chip, and MacBook Air models with an M5 chip. Apple is currently aiming to release the iPad Pro models with its own 5G modem in 2027, according to Gurman. This will likely be Apple's C2 modem. The current cellular iPad Pro models ar...

Apple plans to introduce a revamped Health app on the iPhone as early as iOS 19.4 next year, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. In his Power On newsletter today, Gurman said Apple plans to offer a new AI-powered health coaching feature that offers personalized health recommendations. The information provided by the coaching feature would be accompanied by videos from health experts that inform users about various health conditions and ways to make lifestyle improvements. For example, Gurman s...

We've had a chance to play around with the Razer Minecraft PC peripheral collection, and it's even better to look at in real life than pictures you may have seen online. This is one of many recent collabs from Razer, with this one ideal for any Minecraft fan who predominantly plays on a PC. Razer is on quite the streak when it comes to quality PC peripheral collaborations. This Minecraft deal follows the recent Kuromi and Fortnite crossovers, both of which we also went hands-on with and found to...

Non-paying Gemini users can now play around with Google’s newest model, the experimental version of Gemini 2.5 Pro. The company announced this weekend that it’s making Gemini 2.5 Pro (experimental) free for everyone to use, albeit with tighter rate limits for non-subscribers. Google introduced Gemini 2.5 Pro just last week, touting it as its “most intelligent AI model” yet, and rolled it out to Gemini Advanced users first. It’s available now in Google AI Studio and the Gemini app. While free use...

2025 has already been a great year for roguelikes. On the action side of things, we’ve got the likes of Sworn, Reignbreaker, and Heroes of Hammerwatch 2. If you prefer a bit more considered strategy, there’s options such as Grit and Valor 1949, Aotenjo, and Nubby’s Number Factory. But when it comes to deckbuilders - or dicebuilders, in this case - Die in the Dungeon has proven itself an early frontrunner for my top games of the year. Combining a delightful pixel-art style with some really clever...

We've already discussed the improvements to the Assassin's Creed Anvil Engine and the transformative impact of real-time global illumination - but how does this technology scale to lower-end hardware and how well does the PC version run more generally? More to the point, can that brilliant RTGI be enjoyed on a mainstream PC in a world where you need a PS5 Pro to run the effect at 60fps?

As the second season of Severance aired, relief filled the air — the beloved sci-fi workplace satire was finally, finally back. But as the weeks ticked by, the sentiments of some longtime watchers began to sour. Disappointment and wariness dispersed across social media, as many viewers felt that the show wasn’t measuring up with the...

Right now, the best gaming monitor you can get is probably a QD-OLED 4K 240Hz model from MSI, Dell or Asus. Some compelling options using third-gen Samsung QD-OLED panels arrived last year in a 32-inch form factor, and now we're seeing the same specs in a more compact 27-inch design. That should allow for better compatibility with smaller desks, better glanceability for esports and crisper text rendering at 166PPI, but how does it work in practice?

The Amanita for Ukraine deal runs until April 2.

SAG-AFTRA - the union that represents 160,000 American media professionals, including voiceover artists - has launched two new agreements: the Student Interactive Waiver Agreement and the Game Jam Waiver Agreement.

Multiple sources have claimed that iOS 19 will introduce a new design with more translucent buttons, menus, notification banners, and more, and there is now another clue that points towards this glass-like appearance. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman today said the new design project is codenamed "Solarium" internally. A solarium is a room with glass walls that allow in plenty of sunlight, so this codename further hints at iOS 19 having a "glass-like" appearance with translucent interfaces. The new desig...

When it comes to the best FPS games, it’s tough to beat the raw, unbridled action of a good boomer shooter. The genre has exploded in popularity once again in recent years, which is fantastic if you love blasting your way through hordes of foes using all manner of powerful (and increasingly bizarre) weapons. But with so much choice, it can be tough to know where to start. Fortunately, a new Humble bundle deal lets you grab some excellent picks, including hits such as Turbo Overkill and Forgive M...

Apple's next-generation iPad Pro models with the M5 chip will "launch this year," according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. In his Power On newsletter today, Gurman said the new iPad Pro models have progressed to an "advanced testing" stage, and he expects mass production of the devices to begin in the second half of this year. If that timeframe is met, the new iPad Pro models could launch around October, which is when the 2018 and 2022 models debuted. Apple last released new iPad Pro models in May ...

Chaos Blades of Fire.

X/10. Recently, we crossed one of the last remaining Wii U winners off our Switch port list thanks to the arrival of Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition. We'd waited a long time to extol the virtues of this excellent entry to people who never picked up a Wii U, and the wait, thankfully, was worth it. PJ awarded the Switch edition an 'Outstanding' 10/10 in his review, calling it "an absolute must-play" that ranks "up there with the all-time great sci-fi RPGs".

As Shigeru Miyamoto never actually said, “A delayed game is eventually good, but a bad game is forever bad.” This sliding-doors concept gains an additional, poignant dimension when considering The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, because that game’s delay affected more than its quality. Originally planned for release in 2015 as a Wii...

Invaders of Oakveil lands in late April.

I’m glad I don’t live in Averno City, the setting of Fallen Tree Games’ The Precinct. In the two hours I spent patrolling its streets, crime was everywhere. Speeding is rampant, vandals are around every corner, and it seems like everyone is carrying an illegal firearm and likes to drink and drive. As a rookie cop, it's up to you to crack down on this crime wave and return your town to relative safety.

Whether you grew up with classic PC games like Gothic and Baldur’s Gate, or simply have a fondness for old-school CRPGs, Drova: Forsaken Kin is well worth a look. A loving throwback rendered in fantastic pixel-art fashion, Drova combines grimdark fantasy and Celtic mythology to hand-craft an intriguing world ripe for exploration and discovery. With the launch of its latest update, The Flesh Rises, developer Just2D says that Drova is now fully complete, and to celebrate you can grab it at a disco...
