Deltarune will be a Switch 2 launch game, but developer Toby Fox has announced the RPG will be cross-compatible with both Switch consoles.

"$SATCOM//>PLEASE?"

Offenders may find their Switch bricked. Nintendo has recently updated its Account User Agreement to provide a more severe warning to those who "bypass, modify, decrypt, defeat" or "tamper with" their games. In short, if you happen to hack your Switch or run emulators, you may find that it winds up getting bricked entirely. This comes via Stephen Totilo's latest Game File newsletter, confirming that the wording in the User Agreement from Nintendo has been expanded upon significantly, effectively...

More Path of Exile 2 endgame improvements are on the way, as developer Grinding Gear Games continues to build on its second early access season, Dawn of the Hunt. Now that the rush from rivals such as Last Epoch and Diablo 4 has passed, and with the previous update bringing back a much-needed flood of loot drops, it’s a good time to return to the ARPG sequel. Path of Exile 2 patch 0.2.0h is set to deliver an improved endgame experience, more useful quality-of-life upgrades, and additional stash ...

Alien: Rogue Incursion will get a non-VR release on PC later this year, allowing would-be Colonial Marines access to its Weyland-Yutani black site without first requiring you to force your head inside a pair of microscopic televisions. Subtitled "Evolved Edition" - which feels like a real elbow in the kidneys for VR evangelists - it will sport "even deadlier Xenomorphs and enhanced visuals". Hopefully, that'll be enough to juice the VR version's current Mixed user review consensus on Steam.

System76 have launched a brand new and upgraded Serval WS premium laptop that sounds delicious, and I have hardware envy now. Additionally, it seems their COSMIC desktop is due to expand soon.

Enjoy improved resolution and frame rate. Level-5 has confirmed that Fantasy Life: The Girl Who Steals Time will be making its way to the Switch 2 (thanks, Gematsu). It's yet another 'Nintendo Switch 2 Edition' to add to the growing list, with Level-5 promising improved resolution and frame rate with the next-gen version. There's no release date just yet, but it's been confirmed that a separate upgrade pack will be made available if you're opting for the original Switch version.

Valve released another update to Proton Experimental, bringing in fixes for a number of games that were having issues on Linux Desktop / Steam Deck.

That's a wrap on Fallout season two. And what better way to celebrate the end of a hard shoot than peeling off your skin? OK, I can think of many better ways, but that is how actor Walton Goggins decided to share the news.

After a long time of users asking, Valve has actually added an official Battery Charge Limit setting in the latest Steam Deck Beta update so you no longer need to use third-party tools.

Rumours of a Chrono Trigger remake briefly bubbled up before being swiftly pin-popped last week, following a mistranslation of the JRPG's writer, Dragon Quest creator Yuji Horii at a panel. The potion-swilling public were understandably chuffed (you still can't Google Horii's name without being served videos of pog-faced excite-os screaming "Chrono Trigger Remake Confirmed!!!"), but it soon turned out that no such remake was actually planned. Based on a recent interview with Gamereactor at the s...

New York's Strong National Museum of Play has welcomed four new entries into its Video Game Hall Of Fame: Quake, Goldeneye, 1981's arcade side-scroller Defender, and the virtual pet Tamagotchi. It's that last one that's by far the most interesting of the four picks, and I must admit, I'd never actually thought about Tamagotchi in these exact terms before.

Grand strategy country crusher Europa Universalis 5 was announced yesterday, revealing a complex century-spanning historical sim. But one thing we still don't know is the price or how it'll be sold. If you want to buy the previous game in the series, Europa Universalis 4, you'll find a slew of subscription models and a big library of DLC alongside the base game. Which might cause some fans to worry that the sequel will launch with some sort of similar subscription model. But this won't be the ca...

This LLM "might change crash dump analysis forever."

Let's see if this 80% charge limitation can help extend battery life for real.

Strap a near-field directional speaker mount to the back of your seat and hear the Gs.

I can't wait to accidentally launch ChatGPT when I'm trying to do my fantasy murders.

A "cross-buy" offer. Deltarune will be releasing the same day as the Switch 2 and ahead of the big launch, Toby Fox has provided an update in his latest newsletter about how you'll be able to access his game on your new Nintendo system. If you've already bought the game on the original Switch, or plan to get it on this platform any time soon, you'll be able to get it at "no additional cost" on the Switch 2. Of course, you'll need to be using the same Nintendo account on both systems.

The JRPG is celebrating 30 years. Some news recently popped up about a possible remake of the beloved JRPG Chrono Trigger and although the translator was just having some fun, there's now been another small development in this story. Gamereactor was actually at the same event and spoke to industry legend (and Dragon Quest creator) Yuji Horii about the 30th anniversary celebrations for Chrono Trigger. He ended up talking about the idea of a remake himself, and how he often receives "a lot of requ...

"For over 100 million people worldwide". The Switch 2 is on the horizon and if you don't plan on upgrading immediately, once again there's no need to worry about being left behind (at least for now).

It's all in Eberron: Forge of the Artificer.

A HD-2D remake seems most likely.

Forget the cars, cash, and criminals: I want to go on a wilderness walk.

This time for Civilization VII. As we get closer to the Switch 2 launch next month, we're beginning to find out more about third-party physical releases. The recently released Switch version of Sid Meier's Civilization VII is being sold in-store with a game card included, but it seems the Switch 2 version could be another "code-in-box" release. This information comes from a new listing online:

Apple's chip team is working on new processors for more powerful Macs and future artificial intelligence features that will power Apple Intelligence, reports Bloomberg. Chips codenamed "Komodo" will likely be M6 chips that will follow this year's M5 chips, while chips codenamed "Borneo" will be Apple's future M7 processors. Another more advanced Mac chip that will debut in the future is codenamed "Sotra." Apple is designing chips that will be used for AI servers as well, and they are Apple's fir...

The World Video Game Hall of Fame welcomed its 2025 inductees today. The Strong National Museum of Play announced that the newest entries are GoldenEye 007 from Rare, Quake by id Software, Defender from Williams Electronics and Tamagotchi by Bandai. The four games chosen "have significantly influenced popular culture and the video game industry," the museum said in its press release. The other impactful games nominated for inclusion this year are Age of Empires, Angry Birds, Call of Duty: Modern...

One toggle between delight and disaster.

Apple has partnered with multiple merchants to provide three percent Daily Cash back for Apple Card purchases, and T-Mobile has participated in the program since 2019. That's going to end in July, though, and Daily Cash back from T-Mobile will revert to the standard two percent when using Apple Pay. In its Daily Cash support document, Apple says that starting on July 1, 2025, using ‌Apple Card‌ with ‌Apple Pay‌ at T-Mobile will provide only two percent cash back, instead of the bonus three perce...

Alien: Rogue Incursion Evolved Edition is a "re-envisioned" take on the previously VR-exclusive game.

Space spreadsheets, meet space gig economy.

ChatGPT is bringing its Deep Research service directly into GitHub's developer ecosystem. This integration is beginning a beta test this week, with ChatGPT Plus, Pro and Team users the first to receive access over the coming days. Members of the Enterprise and Edu plans will get a chance to try it out "soon." Users can grant the AI assistant access to select code repositories and ask questions about their contents that ChatGPT will answer with cited reports. Programmers have been a notable audie...

Did you know that Stardew Valley is the 21st best-selling game of all time? It's sold more than Skyrim! At least by the numbers we currently have, anyway. I don't care all that much about sales figures, but if creator Eric Barone cared more about money, I can only imagine that a sequel would be all but guaranteed. As it turns out though, the developer could actually see himself making a sequel to the beloved farming sim.

Apple Card holders are now eligible for a six-month free trial of the Uber One service, according to emails that Apple began sending out today. Uber One is a subscription service that includes $0 delivery fees for Uber Eats orders, up to 10 percent off eligible deliveries and pickup orders, and six percent Uber One credits for Uber rides. Apple says that the Uber One benefit for ‌Apple Card‌ is worth $9.99 per month, so the free trial is a $60 value. The six-month free trial will auto-renew at $...
