Nintendo has released its own technical specifications for the Switch 2 console hybrid, but it's fair to say that the detail is somewhat selective - and that's OK. It's been a long time since the firm ducked out of the technological arms race against Sony and Microsoft but at the same time, an information void demands to be filled. We've covered compelling leaks about the new console's T239 processor in the past, but today we can rule out the various asterisks and caveats surrounding unconfirmed...

Larian has released a new Baldur’s Gate 3 update aimed at fixing one of the most pervasive issues in the RPG since patch 8 dropped. Hotfix 31 finally stops you from “tripping balls” (Larian’s words, not mine) when travelling between locations, because more often than not your screen would be covered in an eyewatering kaleidoscope of colors for no apparent reason.

Wood is quickly becoming the latest trend in gaming PC builds, with plenty of the latest cases featuring wooden front panels, and now it looks as though you’ll soon be able to add a touch of good old-fashioned wood grain to your CPU cooler too. Deepcool has just shared a teaser image of a new air cooler with wooden paneling that it’s going to show off at the Computex tradeshow in Taiwan, and to me it looks much classier than an LCD. This isn’t the first time we’ve seen wood added to CPU cooling ...

After years in development, beta tests, and delays, Square Enix has finally canceled the next Kingdom Hearts game, Kingdom Hearts Missing Link. The development team behind Missing Link announced the game’s cancellation on the official Kingdom Hearts website. “Although we worked hard on developing and adjusting the game in the hope that it would be...

We only just had the reveal of Training Solo from VUSec for Intel and Arm, and now we have another security flaw in Intel CPUs with Branch Privilege Injection.

Surreal first-person medical sim Pathologic 3 will be different from its plague-ridden predecessor in a lot of ways. In Pathologic 2 you played a roaming surgeon rooting around in bins for sustenance, and this time you play as the Bachelor, a well-fed doctor who diagnoses patients by inspecting their bodies and investigating their homes for signs of disease. But one of the biggest changes regards the open world. You won't freely explore the remote steppe town this time, but instead dander throug...

Five years after announcing the Marvel Cinematic Universe TV series Ironheart, Marvel Studios has finally released a trailer for the upcoming show. Our first look at Ironheart highlights Riri Williams, the genius teenage inventor played by Dominique Thorne, who was previously introduced to the MCU in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. In the trailer, Riri enters...

GSC Game World has revealed that Stalker: Legends of the Zone - Enhanced Edition will arrive on PC and current-gen consoles next week.

It was all some kind of conspiracy.

I will kill again. And again. And again. And again.

Two sides of the same coin.

Now you can get that cursed PC build up and running.

Presenting Sony’s latest financial report to investors on Wednesday, executives at the company were inevitably asked about the impact of President Donald Trump’s tariffs on the business, and how they were going to respond. They had a number of different answers, including raising prices — and, incredibly, they did not dismiss the idea of manufacturing...

I mean, there are still a lot of reasons not to like Microsoft, though.

GSC Game World have just announced S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Legends of the Zone Trilogy Enhanced Edition that will launch on May 20th with enhanced versions of Shadow of Chornobyl (2007), Clear Sky (2008), and Call of Prypiat (2009). They will be coming with various upgrades and Steam Deck support too.

But what about my backlog? Super Mario 64 is one of those classic sorts of games that, almost 30 since its release, is still giving up delightful little secrets. This time around, and as reported by GamesRadar, it's a hidden sound effect that's gonna take an insane snack budget to settle into listening out for. Kaze Emanuar, a hacker who's been reporting his findings on Super Mario 64 for years now, has released a new YouTube video detailing some bugs that result from inbuilt game timers, some o...

“What. Is. THAT?” At Remedy HQ, me and two other writers getting a first hands-on with the forthcoming FBC: Firebreak have hit a problem. Namely, a strange, ever-changing black-grey mass, aimlessly and unnervingly stuttering around the Quarry we’re currently exploring. We have no idea what it is until we get close enough to recognize it—an...

We’ve seen it all end in tears before. A beloved studio makes a name for itself creating revered, narrative-driven, single-player action games, and then puts out an investor-satisfying multiplayer game that fails to deliver. But with FBC Firebreak, Remedy Entertainment’s co-op FPS set within the besieged walls of Control’s Oldest House, things have felt different from the very start. A focus on eccentricity, scalable difficulties and session lengths, and an anti-live service approach positions i...

Electronic music icon Don Diablo is known for pushing the boundaries of music, visual arts and live performance — and the music video for his latest single, “BLACKOUT,” explores using generative AI, combining NVIDIA RTX-powered and cloud-based tools in a hybrid workflow. Set inside an industrial warehouse, the video features Diablo performing in front of Read Article

Eight Sleep has launched a new sleep system called the Pod 5, which uses the power of artificial intelligence, as one would expect from a lot of new products these days. The Pod 5 system consist of a cover, a hub, a blanket and a base that works with any mattress you already have. Its cover and hydro-powered blanket cool down or heat up from 55 to 110 degrees Fahrenheit across your whole body, adjusting their temperatures based on the biometric reading from the cover's embedded sensors.  If the ...

Plenty of new Switch (2) offerings. PAX East 2025 just finished up this past weekend, and Nintendo Life was there sampling lots of juicy upcoming Switch releases. Yes, there's plenty to look forward to with the old Switch, even as the new Switch looms in the distance. So we're sharing our hands-on impressions of some of the games we had a chance to play - from irreverent indies to secret Switch 2 releases.

Something to enjoy while GSC keeps tinkering with Stalker 2.

The post FBC: Firebreak is A High-Octane, Hilarious Shooter Built For Any Skill Level appeared first on Xbox Wire.

I am quietly optimistic about FBC: Firebreak, Remedy's upcoming co-op, PvE Control spin-off. Having played a couple of hours of it, particularly towards the end of my time, as the systemic complexity began to compound, its coming together at the last minute almost feels like a strength, as I wrote in our big FBC: Firebreak preview. But naturally at a time when live-service, multiplayer-only games - particularly ones from studios known for the purely single-player output - are hardly the most pop...

Anssi Hyytiäinen, Remedy's lead designer on FBC: Firebreak, and studio veteran of more than 25 years, is "one of those really dangerous designers". This is how his colleague, the game's director Mike Kayatta, puts it to me in a conversation at Remedy's predictably stylish HQ in Espoo, on the quiet, grey outskirts of Finland's capital Helsinki. Kayatta means it as a compliment, although with maybe just a tinge of truth to it as well. He's dangerous because, as Kayatta puts it, he's one of the ra...

Apple today announced a new custom city experience and guide for the upcoming Formula 1 TAG Heuer Grand Prix de Monaco 2025. The new Detailed City Experience includes custom-designed 3D Monégasque landmarks of significant locations, such as Casino de Monte-Carlo, Fairmont Monte Carlo, Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo, Yacht Club de Monaco, and the F1 Paddock Club. When dark mode is enabled at dusk, the 3D rendition of Monaco gains a unique moonlit glow effect. There are also new details to represent r...

Square Enix has released its financial summary for the 2024-25 fiscal year, and sales are down, but thanks to Dragon Quest, profits are up.

Rift Riff is all about jumping through portals (okay Rifts, whatever) and extracting precious juice. Monsters don't like you doing that though but the juice must flow. It's out now with Native Linux support.

Square Enix has revealed that mobile game Kingdom Hearts Missing-Link has been canceled, but Kingdom Hearts IV is still in the pipeline.

Baidu's Apollo Go robotaxi service is making its debut in Europe later this year, according to The Wall Street Journal. The Chinese company is reportedly negotiating with Switzerland’s PostAuto, a Swiss Post subsidiary that offers rural bus services throughout the country, to start testing Apollo Go in Switzerland. To be able to test its technology in Switzerland before the year ends, Baidu is setting up a local entity in the coming months.  Back in March, the company announced that it was deplo...

After a decade and a half of ride-based faff, Minecraft is finally introducing the ability for players to craft their own saddles so they can spend more time trotting and less time endlessly rooting through chests - and the feature's available for testing on PC right now.

A fantasy score? Level-5's long-awaited new Fantasy Life game, Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time, is just over a week away, and the first review for the upcoming game has just dropped. Japanese publication Famitsu has scored the "slow-life RPG" an impressive 9/9/9/9, totalling 36/40, and according to the reviewers, it will take between 30-40 hours to beat the story, and up to 80 to 100 hours if you're going for 100%. Thanks to Ryokutya2089 for sharing this info (via Gematsu).

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 director Guillaume Broche has said a Switch 2 version of the game "could be interesting", though it seems there are no firm plans as of yet.

Details from 89 million Steam accounts have reportedly gone up for sale on the dark web. Since RPS's dedicated tech team have just informed me that the dark web is not the thing you get when you click 'incognito tab' and is actually potentially much scarier than that, you might want to consider changing your password. Or maybe not. As I say, it's all alleged at this point.
