Apple is reportedly planning to introduce a small but welcome convenience feature with iOS 19: cross-device syncing for Wi-Fi access portals. This is according to the latest Power On newsletter from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. The feature would address the annoyance of having to individually fill out pop-up forms to access public Wi-Fi on all your devices, like when you're at a hotel. According to Gurman, "This new feature will let you enter that information on one device and have it synced to your...

As first reported by Politico, the Trump administration has fired the Register of Copyrights and US Copyright Office Director, Shira Perlmutter. The Register of Copyrights works under the Librarian of Congress — a title held most recently by Carla Hayden, who was fired earlier this week for her DEI efforts, as White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told The New York Times. Perlmutter's dismissal comes just after the office released a report that raised concerns about certain uses of copyri...

It won't make you a better gamer, but Samsung's latest gaming monitor entices those hunting for faster refresh rates. The company's newest Odyssey OLED G6, which Samsung claims is the world's first OLED gaming monitor with a 500Hz refresh rate, is now available for pre-order in Southeast Asian markets, with a global rollout due to follow later this year. Samsung first announced the display, along with its sibling with 4K resolution called the Odyssey OLED G8, right before CES 2025 in January. Th...

Careful, Doom fans - details of Doom: The Dark Ages have leaked ahead of its release next week.

Following backlash about a quietly added clause to SoundCloud's Terms of Use that says users' content may be fed to AI, the company says it's "never used artist content to train AI models," and insists it "has always been and will remain artist-first." The outrage came after tech ethicist Ed Newton-Rex (via TechCrunch) spotted a change to SoundCloud's terms that was made in February 2024 seemingly without notifying users. The updated text states that by using the platform, "You explicitly agree ...

Half-Life: Extended is a surprisingly effective reinterpretation of Black Mesa.

Amazon's hit Fallout show will run for five or six seasons.

Space 4X game Stellaris has its ninth birthday this week, and to celebrate developer Paradox has launched one of its most transformative updates in a long time alongside a fresh expansion, Biogenesis. It hasn’t all been smooth sailing, however; while the strategy game’s new DLC is being widely praised, the Stellaris 4.0 update brought a tidal wave of issues including lag, crashes, and other bugs into play. Speaking exclusively to PCGamesN, game director Stephen ‘Eladrin’ Muray says the team bit ...

Hyper Light Drifter is the textbook definition of an indie darling. Propelled by an incredibly successful Kickstarter, Heart Machine's debut became an instant classic. The team followed Drifter up with Solar Ash, which cast off pixel art in favour of a 3D world. Then, earlier this year, came Hyper Light Breaker. The extraction roguelike had a divisive launch, but with its latest update Heart Machine puts the game on an entirely new path. With plenty of changes shaking it up, I sat down with one ...

One of the ultimate goals of medieval alchemy has been realized, but only for a fraction of a second. Scientists with the European Organization for Nuclear Research, better known as CERN, were able to convert lead into gold using the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world's most powerful particle accelerator. Unlike the examples of transmutation we see in pop culture, these experiments with the LHC involve smashing subatomic particles together at ridiculously high speeds to manipulate lead's phy...

[Insert GameCube boot up sound here]. The Switch 2 isn't just getting brand new games, but its online service will also be receiving a special update adding the GameCube library. While it's set to start with only a handful of games, Nintendo has already teased some others. Still, we're sure there are many other requests - so Alex and Zion have now chimed in with 10 games Nintendo Life would like to eventually see show up on this classic Nintendo library. This includes both first and third-party ...

All around me are familiar faces. In the magazine business, the Back Page is where you'd find all the weird goofs that we couldn't fit in anywhere else. Some may call it "filler"; we prefer "a whole page to make terrible jokes that are tangentially related to the content of the mag". We don't have pages on the internet, but we still love terrible jokes — so welcome to our semi-regular feature, Back Page. Today, Jim's sparing a thought for the guys who missed out on a spot in Mario Kart World...

When Rockstar Games delayed Grand Theft Auto 6 into 2026, it likely came as a big relief to publishers who had anything on their slate for the back half of 2025. But 2026 is already shaping up to be an exciting, crowded year of big game releases, even without GTA 6. In addition to Rockstar’s...

Ever since Rockstar shadow-dropped GTA 6 trailer 2 out of nowhere, the hype around the studio’s next game has reached a fever pitch. The next Grand Theft Auto has been delayed, sure, but to sweeten the news we’ve also got our best look at cutscenes, gameplay, and screenshots yet. Now, a former Rockstar developer walks us through all the new images we’ve been given, and reveals how long the game’s been in development.

What had been a closed beta test for Funcom's upcoming Dune Awakening is now available to everyone who has pre-ordered the game, not just those lucky enough to have bagged a code.

It's kicking this off with the release of Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. which will be arriving at some point in the future. This particular version will include cross-play and rollback netcode, and was previously released on Valve's Steam platform for PC earlier this year.

Bandersnatch gets snatched from the service after the weekend.

I’m not sure what makes the unknowable so irresistibly compelling, but there’s no questioning the allure of Lovecraft style eldritch horror. Arriving in April, new roguelike strategy game Starless Abyss forces scientists and worshippers of the occult to work together in the face of powerful, invading Outer Gods. It’s already earned itself a very positive response from players, with 85% of Steam reviews recommending it, but now developer Konafa Games is ensuring you’ll have more options at your d...
