Enjoy sessions for up to an hour. One of the most disappointing confirmations regarding the upcoming Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 on Switch and Switch 2 was that the Career Mode in THPS 4 would adopt the same timer-based structure as the previous games, thus revamping the original release which allowed players to tackle missions as they saw fit. Now, as spotted by VGC, a hands-on preview from YouTuber andyTHPS reveals that the timer in THPS 4 can be extended by up to an hour. By default, it'll b...

Apple today shared a second trailer for its upcoming "F1" racing film, which will have a theatrical release via Warner Bros. Pictures. In the underdog comeback film, Brad Pitt stars as an F1 driver who was an up-and-coming talent in the 1990s, until an accident on the track nearly ended his career. Thirty years later, Pitt is invited to join a former teammate's struggling F1 team, in a last-shot bid to save the team and become the best in the world. The film is directed by Joseph Kosinski, who i...

Following more than a month of beta testing, Apple is expected to release iOS 18.5 to the general public this week. While the software update is relatively minor, it still includes a handful of new features and changes for iPhones. Below, we recap everything new in iOS 18.5. Pride Wallpaper Apple recently announced its 2025 Pride Collection, including a new Apple Watch band, watch face, and a matching wallpaper for the iPhone and iPad. The new Pride Edition Sport Band has rainbow stripes that va...

The latest Assassin's Creed Shadows update makes a sneaky but crucial change to the parkour system, one that Ubisoft seemingly tried to slip by players. The Far Cry and Rainbow Six Siege studio has a huge roadmap of plans for its feudal RPG, but admits that it just couldn't wait to include a “subtle increase” to free running ahead of time. You won't find these improvements in any patch notes, but luckily there's footage of exactly what's changed.

If there's one thing I've never really seen players complain about, it's a developer being too transparent. Oftentimes game development is shrouded in shadows, hidden behind an impenetrable curtain, for better or worse. But, in a new Reddit thread, Intrepid Studios, the developer of Ashes of Creation, has come under fire for publicly announcing its internal deadlines, some of which haven't yet been met. In response, creative director Steven Sharif has urged fans to keep a level head, noting that...

How long is Doom The Dark Ages? It’s important to plan your tactical sick days ahead of your next big Doom binge. But how much time is the Slayer’s interdimensional epic going to take to clear? Doom The Dark Ages developer id Software has almost doubled the number of missions you can rip and tear through from the FPS game’s reboot series predecessors. What’s more, thanks to id Tech 8’s expanded capabilities, some of these maps include sprawling sandboxes for you to siphon secrets from and split ...

It's just sweet and innocent cleaning. Nothing else.

Throw it in the bin. Trash. Garbage. Whichever you prefer.

It's finally that time of year where you can sit on the beach or by the pool without freezing — hallelujah. But that means you need a durable and portable speaker to accompany you. Right now, one of our favorite portable Bluetooth speakers for 2025 is back down to its record-low price. You can pick up the Beats Pill for $100, down from $150 — a 33 percent discount. We gave the Bluetooth speaker an 83 in our review thanks, in big part, to its durability. The Beats Pill has an IP67 dust and water ...

Who knew working hammer and tongs could feel so relaxing?

I'm all for special edition graphics cards, but this ROG Astral RTX 5090 might be a bit too much. It's no secret that Nvidia's latest GPU has been hard to find in stock, and it has been increasing in price as a result. However, paying up to $10,600 to secure a new graphics card, just because it features real gold, isn't a route most gamers will be open to traveling when trying to secure a new graphics card. In our GeForce RTX 5090 review, we found that, while it's overpriced, this new Nvidia beh...

Apple today shared a trio of spooky "Mac to School" ads on its YouTube channel in the UK. The videos highlight three useful Mac features for students, including AirDrop, iPhone Mirroring, and Apple Intelligence's Writing Tools. AirDrop lets you quickly wirelessly transfer files between Apple devices, while iPhone Mirroring lets you control your iPhone from your Mac's desktop. Writing Tools can proofread and summarize your writing, and even generate text via ChatGPT. Apple has also revamped the C...

Doom: The Dark Ages arrives later this week, and with physical editions now out in the wild, fans are expressing dismay amid reports the PS5 release includes just 85MB of data on the disc, with the Xbox Series X/S release seemingly not much bigger.

Doom: The Dark Ages, a prequel to id Software’s 2016 revitalization of the Doom series, is out this week on PlayStation 5, Windows PC, and Xbox Series X. Hell yeah. The Dark Ages takes somewhat of a different approach to combat than its two predecessors, Doom (2016) and Doom Eternal. In The Dark Ages, there’s...

Sega has released its financial results for the 2024-25 fiscal year, and profits are down overall, although the video gaming sector isn't doing too badly.

Cozy witch sandbox game Reka is already a wonderful encapsulation of life out in the wilderness of fantasy Europe, bringing together Valheim style exploration and building to let you craft your own walking hut as an apprentice to the legendary Baba Jaga. The result feels like a more peaceful, contemplative counterpart to exploring the continent of The Witcher 3, but now developer Emberstorm Entertainment is introducing some more fundamental tenets of the forest enchantress lifestyle.

It's real, it's bling, its price tag is stratospheric: The gold-plated RTX 5090 from Asus finally goes on sale.

Thomas Mahler, head of No Rest for the Wicked dev Moon Studios, has hit out at what he sees as a recent "review bomb", claiming it could spell trouble.

Several ups to be un-mucked, is the short and tall of it.

Magic: the Gathering has detailed more of its Final Fantasy card collection, and a message from Final Fantasy 7 character designer Tetsuya Nomura may hint towards the third part of the remake series.

Almost 200 workers on the Blizzard franchise Overwatch have signed up to a new union under the auspices of the Communications Workers of America.

Our regular PC game round-up column underwent further mysterious ructions during my absence last week, when substitute news chief Brendy introduced a list format with subheadings. I can only assume he had been driven mad by terror of being eaten by the Maw. Regardless, I will trust his instincts and follow in his footsteps. Here’s what’s coming down the pipe this week.

Back in February we hit the three year mark of Valve's Steam Deck with SteamOS Linux, and as we approach the release of the public SteamOS 3 Beta for more devices, here's an updated look at the sales charts.

Following negotiations in Geneva, the United States and China have agreed to lower tariffs substantially for the next 90 days, the White House announced. The aim is to de-escalate the current trade war and allow both parties time negotiate to achieve a "sustainable, long-term and mutually beneficial economic and trade relationship," they said in a joint statement.  The US will temporarily lower its tariffs on Chinese goods from 145 to 30 percent (10 percent plus a 20 percent fentanyl-related lev...

There are a lot of rumors flying around about a big iOS and macOS redesign coming this year, perhaps as a distraction to the continued issues around Apple Intelligence. And while I’m game for a fresh coat of paint across the software I use every single day, I have one plea while Apple’s at it: Please, for the love of god, make the Notes app render the letter “a” properly. Let me back up a bit. Apple first introduced the San Francisco typeface with the first Apple Watch in 2015; a few years later...

Touch, I remember touch. The first Please, Touch The Artwork was a stylish puzzler inspired by Piet Mondrian and De Styjl, the Dutch abstract art movement that reached its height around a century ago. We enjoyed Belgian dev Thomas Waterzooi's cracking little curio immensely back in 2022, and this follow-up (which has been available elsewhere since February 2024) focuses on Belgian painter James Ensor. It's a decidedly simpler composition, but one that carries through the first game's humour and ...

The firing finger gets to work once more.

Even if you’ve never touched a Nier game, I’d wager that you know exactly who 2B is. The iconic android has made myriad appearances in other games since Platinum released Nier: Automata in 2017, and the studio is showing absolutely no signs of slowing down. She’s already in Final Fantasy 14, Fall Guys, PUBG, Rainbow Six Siege, and a rhythm game excellently titled D4DJ Groovy Mix. Now, 2B is coming to The First Descendant.

Bam is back.

While the Steam Deck is great to play in hand, a docking station can unlock a whole new way to play, effectively turning your handheld into a mini desktop PC when connected to an external display. If you've yet to buy yourself a dock for your deck, then here's an opportunity to jump in, as this great JSAUX six-in-one dock has everything you need, and it's now discounted to a very reasonable price. Two JSAUX products already feature on our list of the best Steam Deck docks, which is a testament t...

Sector-specific tariffs aren't part of the deal.
