Apple recently teamed up with Japanese fashion brand ISSEY MIYAKE to create the iPhone Pocket, a limited-edition knitted accessory designed to carry an iPhone. iPhone Pocket is available to order on Apple's online store starting today, in the United States, France, China, Italy, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, and the United Kingdom. However, it is already completely sold out in the United States, and many size and color combinations are quickly running out in the other countries too. The accesso...

Arc Raiders players have come together to unlock the Stella Montis map through a community donation event, which they completed in just one day.

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, out Dec. 4 for Switch and Switch 2, is tonally all over the place but still a blast, according to a recent hands-on preview.

Earlier this year, I played Metroid Prime for the first time in at least a decade. Back in 2023, Nintendo released a remastered version of the 2002 classic for the Switch, and I felt like dusting it off once we finally knew Metroid Prime 4: Beyond would arrive this year after about a decade in development. The original Metroid Prime holds up surprisingly well for a 23-year-old game, but there were plenty of times where it showed its age. The platforming often felt overly clunky, as precise contr...

Meta has announced that BirdyChat and Haiket are the first third-party messaging services that will have interoperability with WhatsApp in the European Union. The company has been working on enabling third-party chats since 2023 after the rules of the bloc’s Digital Markets Act (DMA) came into effect. It apparently held small scale tests over the past few months to make sure WhatsApp does work with BirdyChat and Haiket, and it will roll out integration with the services across Europe “soon.” Use...

Feisty one, you are. I recently got to go hands-on with the Switch 2 Edition of Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, and not just to play that opening section that everyone and their mum has played at this point. No, I got to play over an hour of one of the game’s earlier parts proper, once Samus has appropriately lost all her abilities because the plot demands it. I can’t say I was sceptical of the whole psychic angle for the new abilities, but I wasn’t completely sold, either. More fool me, as Metroid Pri...

It's difficult to believe, but it has been the better part of two decades since the last new Metroid Prime. The third game, Corruption, hit the Wii back in 2007. The good news for those who have been eagerly waiting for more Prime is that Metroid Prime 4: Beyond certainly appears to be a confident expression of that. It's more Prime. In that, it'll give you what you want. On the other hand, I've come away from a hands-on session concerned that it has also fundamentally misunderstood part of Metr...

Not long to go! With just a few weeks to go until release, Nintendo has shared a new 7-minute overview trailer for Metroid Prime 4: Beyond. The trailer gives us our best look yet at what we can expect from Samus' hotly anticipated adventure. There's a detailed rundown of the planet Viewros, a summary of Samus' sweet new abilities (as well as some returning favourites), and quick look at some of Galactic Trooper friendly faces that you'll have to save along the way.

Platypus Entertainment has announced that its game Misery has been reinstated on Steam, following a DMCA takedown from Stalker 2's GSC Game World.

A great headset adds a base station and a price hike.

Accurate passthrough is a boon for everyday VR use.

The rough beast that is Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 has cracked its shell and slouched towards the wincing light of day. They've released it, I mean. No verdict from us yet: our reviewer is still picking their way among the exploding motorbikes and mocking spectres of deceased Nicaraguan terrorists. But I can at least tell you with some confidence that if you're a fan of pausing games or mid-mission checkpoints, you might want to give it a miss.

What's that? Huh? What's that, huh? Well, it's a new commercial for Kirby Air Riders from Nintendo, and rather than the usual overenthusiastic voiceover to explain basic features, we've instead been treated to a weird, albeit quite wonderful rap song. Yes, this is one of those ads things that will either go down in history as one of the best things Nintendo has ever put out, or perhaps one of the worst. We'll let you be the judge of that. At the very least, it's bringing back memories of the DK ...

Watching the sci-fi show reminds me of using ChatGPT, and not in a good way

The PlayStation Portal is the rare product that launched as a truly baffling device, but has evolved into something genuinely useful. At first, it could only stream games from your PlayStation 5, it lacked core features for a handheld like Bluetooth audio and it felt a bit overpriced at $200 for such a limited product. Add on the fact that home streaming can be notoriously unreliable, since it depends entirely on your ISP and home networking setup, and the Portal simply didn't make much sense. B...

Chapter and Videoverse. Video games are good. The internet is good. Sometimes, it’s hard to remember that nowadays, but Videoverse — the second visual novel from Kinmoku — is determined to remind us of the impact of online communities and the relationships we forge through playing video games. It’s also the most accurate depiction of online life in the mid-2000s I’ve ever played. The year is 2003 and Emmett is a 15-year-old German kid who loves his Kinmoku Shark, a fictional games console that i...

A new Slay the Spire 2 update from developer Mega Crit digs into the Ancients, who will help you through the roguelike deckbuilder sequel.

Remember Brendan from Cyberpunk 2077? If the answer's no, I don't blame you. He's a talking vending machine you can run into and end up going off on a short series of side quests about, but I totally missed him in my fist couple of playthroughs. Anyway, spoiler alert, but that quest arc in the base game ends pretty tragically, something a modder's now changed via the addition of an extra bit which lets you pay to have the semi-sentient snack box installed in V's flat.

We don't know the price of the Steam Machine—but we can take a pretty good guess.

Despite being one of PlayStation's most prolific single-player series, developer Guerrilla Games has "always thought about" its Horizon franchise "as a multiplayer game".

Rockstar Games has announced that acclaimed open-world game Read Dead Redemption and its Undead Nightmare expansion pack are coming to iOS and Android early next month. The December 2 release on mobile is part of a larger rollout for the epic Western on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and Netflix. Red Dead Redemption launched in 2010 for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. It follows John Marston, a former outlaw forced by federal agents to track down the remaining members of his old gang. ...

We have the lowdown on the new Arc Raiders map, Stella Montis, including the best looting spots and important POIs.

Here are the full patch notes. Shortly after launch back in September, Marvelous revealed the 2025 roadmap for Daemon x Machina: Titanic Scion, and today, we've arrived at another stop on the journey. The mech action/adventure has today landed its 'Into the Abyss' paid DLC, a story expansion that sees you sent out to explore an all-new map area, Survey Zone: Locus Initi. You can expect to find new enemies, new gear, and a whole new Axiom base to get your head around.

No need for keys.

Valve has announced a raft of new hardware, including a new VR headset, Steam Machine and Controller. The devices are all designed to usher in a new era of PC gaming, with Valve’s usual focus on the player. Steam Frame is a slender VR headset that connects wirelessly to your PC and has a built-in battery to rid you of those pesky cables. That focus on freedom extends to the Frame operating as a standalone device, like the Meta Quest. At the same time, the company has revived its long-loved (but ...
