Pinterest is fighting back against the onslaught of AI slop that is increasingly clogging up its platform following complaints from users. From now on, you’ll be able to see when image Pins that appear in your feed have been either generated or modified using AI. When users click on an image Pin in close-up they’ll see an “AI modified” label in the bottom left-hand corner. In a blog post published this week, Pinterest says it has been testing the new feature for several months, which involves an...

Okami 2, please. Just recently, we reported that developer Masahiro Sakurai had been successful in the Switch 2 lottery system in Japan, thus receiving an invite to purchase the upcoming console. Now, another legendary developer has announced his own success, and that's Hideki Kamiya. Famous for his work on Resident Evil 2, Bayonetta, and Okami, Kamiya is currently hard at work on the Okami Sequel at his new studio Clovers in partnership with Capcom.

Epic Games today announced plans for ‌Epic Games‌ Store Webshops, a feature that will allow developers to launch digital storefronts that are hosted by the ‌Epic Games‌ Store. With Apple's mandated App Store rule changes in the United States, developers will soon be able to direct customers to web shops to make out-of-app purchases, bypassing the in-app purchase flow. The ‌Epic Games‌ Store will charge developers a 0 percent fee for the first $1,000,000 in revenue they collect per app per year, ...

How many Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090’s can you power off a single power supply? Well, if you own this brand-new Silverstone PSU, the answer is three. Wildly impractical as it might be for most gamers, the new Silverstone Hela 2500Rz has four 12V-2x6 power connectors for RTX 40 and 50-series GPUs, letting you power three RTX 5090s or four RTX 4090s from a single 2,500W power supply. Most gaming rigs with even the best power supplies are pushed hard by one top-spec Nvidia graphics card, let alone thre...

EA has announced it's pausing development on future rally titles, and it's not looking great for subsidiary Codemasters either.

How do you join the Mages Guild in Oblivion Remastered? If you’re magically inclined, joining the Mages Guild is one of the best moves you can make in Bethesda’s remastered opus. Even if you're not particularly bothered when it comes to using spells, you won't want to miss out on some of the perks the guild provides. Compared to, say, joining the Dark Brotherhood, getting into the Mages Guild in Oblivion Remastered is a breeze. Below, we’ll take you through the necessary steps and offer up our s...

Stanley Johnson is not a fan of needles. The 67-year-old Air Force veteran has endured his fair share of pokes over the years, but when it was decided that IV infusions would be the best course of action to treat his iron deficiency, going into that first session felt nerve-wracking. So he brought along what’s become a staple in his personal anxiety toolkit: his Apple Vision Pro. Johnson has taken to using the immersive wellness app, Tripp, to ease his anxiety, and he says it was a big help in g...

"We lost a legend."

Heavy load.

Infinity Nikki has fallen from grace a touch, it seems. The dress-up RPG arrived on Steam last week, almost five months since it launched on the Epic Games Store, but it did so with quite a few caveats. For starters, the game's latest update 1.5 arrived around the same time, leading to a plethora of issues with the game, quite notably frequent crashes. Then there's also been a large number of Chinese players expressing their frustration with some of the changes on the game's Steam forusm, namely...

A subset of Apple's software engineers started internal development of iOS 19.4 last month, according to the MacRumors visitor logs. iOS 19.4 is expected to be released in March or April next year, so the software update is still nearly a year away. However, Apple develops both "Fall" and "Spring" versions of iOS each year, with our website's analytics logs indicating that both iOS 19.0 and iOS 19.4 are in active development within the company. The start of iOS 19.4 development comes after Apple...

But hey, there's a new sprite sheet, at least.

When Google debuted AI Mode at the start of March, the company promised to work quickly on bringing the feature to more users, and now it's doing exactly. Following a smaller expansion last month, the company says AI Mode is now available to all Labs users, with no wait list in place to limit access. As a reminder, AI Mode is a new chatbot that Google has built directly into Search. Labs, meanwhile, is a program you can sign up for to try out new Search features before they're widely available. ...

Andor is a series built on tragedy. From the show’s very first episode, we knew exactly how our hero’s journey would end: on the beach of a planet on the verge of being eradicated by the Death Star, content in knowing he completed his mission.  [Ed. note: This post discusses events in episode 6 of...

An Intel GPU that was previously thought to have been cancelled has resurfaced in several recent shipping manifests. The documents, believed to show stock moving between different Intel labs, give strong credibility to speculation that the chipmaker is indeed working on a new high-end Battlemage GPU for gamers. If that’s the case, it’s likely to gain a lot of interest, as Intel did surprisingly well with its most recent entry into the GPU market. The Intel Arc B580 offered hope to budget gamers ...

Hopefully at a reasonable price point.

But what about the rest of us?! Hollow Knight fans have been itching to get their hands on the upcoming sequel, Silksong, and while it's still currently scheduled to launch in 2025, desperation is undoubtedly starting to creep in with some. Thankfully, news that Silksong will be playable at an Australian museum later this year might provide a clue as to the game's full release. According to IGN, Silksong will be featured at ACMI, Australia's museum of screen culture, as part of an upcoming 'Game...

"A betrayal of the creative people who made the TTRPG industry what it is."

The story in XCOM is minimal. There aren’t many cutscenes. The dialogue is sparse. The characters are functional archetypes. And yet, the MicroProse and Firaxis strategy series boasts some of the most shocking, tense, and memorable dramatic moments in the history of PC gaming. This is what makes XCOM special. It’s all mechanics, but out of its fastidiously designed turn-based tactics and combat, you inevitably get personal takes of sacrifice, defeat, and victory - everyone has that one XCOM sold...

Gigabyte's first OLED ultrawide delivers the goods but we've seen it all before.

This ultra-cheap headset is an admirable attempt at a solid budget set of cans, but spending just a little more will make a big difference in terms of all-around quality.

Apple has been ordered to pay a $502 million lump sum payment by UK courts for infringing on patents owned by Optis Cellular Technology LLC, based out of Texas. This particular company is not an aggrieved innovator, but instead what is referred to as a “patent troll.” That’s a company that buys up niche patents with the specific intent to seek damages for infringement from lucrative defendants like Apple, and it’s not their first time being awarded damages from the Cupertino giant. This lawsuit ...

Blizzard is playing with forces I'm not sure it fully comprehends.

Hollow Knight: Silksong's release date remains a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside a shitpost, beyond that it'll fall in 2025, but we do at least now know that you'll be able to play it in September, as long as you go to one particular museum in Melbourne, Australia.

The ghosts of Elder Scrolls' modding past are already rearing their heads.

Apex Legends Season 25 has announced Prodigy, the 25th season of Respawn's battle royale, which introduces a brand new bow-toting Legend called Sparrow. Additionally, Arenas make a return, the Bocek gets some love and Pathfinder receives a few buffs. There are also a couple of ranked updates on the way.

The recently-released Apple iPad Air M3 is already on sale via Amazon. You can pick up the 11-inch model starting at $499 and the 13-inch version starting at $699. If Amazon isn’t your bag, these deals are also available at Best Buy. This model topped our list of the best iPads, and we said it the perfect choice for most consumers. The M3 chip is extremely powerful, which increases performance and multitasking when compared to the base iPad. It offers support for the Apple Pencil Pro and Magic K...

We might not have an exact launch date yet, but we now have confirmation that Hollow Knight Silksong will be playable in September 2025. There’s just one fairly big catch; you might have to go to Australia to try it. The long-awaited Team Cherry action platformer is set to make an appearance in the developer’s home country later this year, making the possibility that we’ll finally see the full release in 2025 feel more real than ever.

A new Fortnite Star Wars crossover is coming tomorrow, and it'll bring the likes of the terrifying Darth Jar Jar, plus lots more.

The true allure of Warhammer 40k: Space Marine 2 is the chaos, whether or not the Emperor's keen to admit it. Xeno guts fly. Chainswords roar. Your comrades bark orders or fall at your side. Amid the death and destruction, there's a sense of pure exhilaration; of life. But, at the moment, you can only experience the heat of battle with two other friends as part of a three-person squad. What if you could experience it as a twelve-stack? Well, modder 'Warhammer Workshop' has answered your prayers,...

Last month, we had breakout runaway hits, indie darlings, and a few surprises. Which game spoke to you the most?  Some of the big new releases included Blue Prince, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Forever Skies, and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered. How does it work? At the end of every month, PlayStation Blog will...

Or together via local multiplayer. With the introduction of Virtual Game Cards, Switch owners can now conveniently swap digital games from one Switch console to another. However, it's been noted that players can no longer boot up the same game simultaneously across two Switch consoles while online. The good news is that while you can no longer utilise the old method of using primary and secondary accounts and whatnot, there is a loophole that lets you boot up the same game on multiple systems.

Here's hoping, anyway.
