Speaking to Eurogamer, Grasshopper Manufacture co-founder and Romeo is a Dead Man director Goichi Suda (also known as Suda 51) has spoken more about his opinions of generative AI in game development, after previous statements indicating the technology wouldn't be used in the upcoming action game.

Apple is expected to use TSMC's base 2-nanometer N2 process rather than the newer N2P variant for its upcoming A20 and M6 chips, according to the China Times. Apple is rumored to launch the A20 chip with new iPhone models in the fall, and the M6 family of Apple silicon chips in redesigned MacBook Pro models featuring OLED displays later this year. The latest report claims that the company will not move to TSMC's most advanced 2-nanometer manufacturing variant for these chip generations. TSMC's 2...

Epic Games has released a series of new figures today as part of a "year in review" lookback on Steam storefront rival, Apple lawsuit bane, and Fortnite forever-maker the Epic Games Store - and there are some interesting stats in the mix.

The Epic Games Store’s year in review breakdown shows some decent growth, but it’s the future improvements that are even more important.

Be Quiet!'s entry into PC gaming peripherals continues with its new wireless gaming mouse that's a solid if not remarkable affair.

We went hands-on with the Switch 2's Virtual Boy reproduction, which faithfully captures what a pain it was to use in 1995.

Super Mario Bros. Wonder's surprising Switch 2 update is loaded with multiplayer minigames, and there are some good chaos machines in the batch.

Polygon played a few rounds of Mario Tennis Fever on Switch 2, which was enough time to get a feel for its fine-tuned and intense volleying.

Pragmata performs impressively on Switch 2, showing Capcom's Switch 2 versions of AAA games stand up to their PS5 and Xbox counterparts.

Epic Game Store is getting faster load times, avatars, and more this year

Resident Evil Requiem is one of 40 games in 2026 to come with Fortnite pre-order bonuses on EGS

Romeo is a Dead Man is nearly here at last, bringing the world another hyper-violent action game with a quirky hero and out-of-this-world narrative. It stands as the latest work from the collective minds of Suda 51 and his peers at Netease-owned Grasshopper Games, emitting that same strong Suda-signal as beloved prior works like No More Heroes or Killer is Dead.

Lacking attraction. When Super Mario Bros. Wonder launched in 2023, I felt an overwhelming sense of relief. Finally, after a deluge of perfectly serviceable yet uninspiring ‘New’ entries, it felt like 2D Mario had gotten its mojo back. Fast-forward to 2026 and Wonder is making its grand return with a Nintendo Switch 2 Edition on 26th March, but after recently going hands-on with the multiplayer segment, I have to admit that it’s yet to conjure up any excitement within me. I should caveat this im...

NASA started making the final preparations for the Artemis 2 mission in early January, with the hopes of opening its launch window as soon as February 6. After issues showed up during the mission’s wet dress rehearsal in the early hours of February 3, however, the agency had to push back its earliest launch opportunity to March. “With more than three years between SLS launches, we fully anticipated encountering challenges. That is precisely why we conduct a wet dress rehearsal. These tests are d...

Even in 2026, VR still feels like tech that isn't quite ready for prime time. When Nintendo released the original Virtual Boy way back in 1995, it was hard for my 10-year-old brain to comprehend a 3D console with a bipod, a facemask and a monochrome red display. Then, when you factor in weak sales that led to the system being discontinued after only a year, you end up with a gadget that felt more like a mythical creature than something you could actually buy. But that's changing later this month...

New Mario sports games typically only come around once in a generation. So to get a fresh installment of tennis featuring a deep roster of characters this early in the Switch 2's lifecycle is rather exciting. And after getting a chance to play Mario Tennis Fever prior to its official release on February 12, the best entry to the franchise yet might only be a couple of weeks away. Once again, Mario Tennis Fever relies on the series' familiar mix of topspin, slice and flat (power) shots used in pr...

The post Coming to Xbox Game Pass: High on Life 2, Madden NFL 26, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, and More appeared first on Xbox Wire.

Under a year ago, I purchased a Virtual Boy. I did so for two reasons: the first was to fill a curious little gap in my video game collection. The second and main reason was in service of a stupid joke: Nintendo had told us that there'd be no Switch 2 consoles for media ahead of launch day, and so in order to have a 'day one review', I decided to review another Nintendo portable. It was an expensive gag.

Bird City is being made more frequent in Arc Raiders, and the devs have acknowledged the complaints around the event schedule as a whole.

Apple plans to release a new version of the Studio Display "in the first half of 2026," according to the latest word from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. In his Power On newsletter on Sunday, Gurman noted that inventory of the current Studio Display is running low on Apple's online store and at its retail stores, although this has generally been the case for a while now. Extended shipping estimates on Apple's online store can sometimes hint at an upcoming product refresh. Last month, an unreleased Appl...

The G325 is hoping to be the headset for every occasion.

If you've been inside all winter gaming then it might be time to upgrade your gear. Right now, the 8Bitdo Pro 3 Bluetooth Controller is available for just over $48, down from $70.

An Assassin's Creed designer who publicly spoke out against Ubisoft's return-to-office mandate claims the company have now fired him. Developer David Michaud-Cromp posted on LinkedIn last week that he'd been put on unpaid disciplinary leave after recently criticising the policy change on the social media platform. If you're out of the loop, Ubisoft have recently revealed plans to push remote staff back into offices amid a bloodbath of game cancellations, restructuring and voluntary redundancies....

Spiritforge's pre-release went as poorly as Riftbound's rocky launch, so Riot is mixing things up by adopting a "drawing-based system."

It appears that the press kit for Ubisoft's cancelled Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake would have included a collectible dagger.

Apple's first MacBook Pro models with OLED displays will launch in the fourth quarter of 2026, according to Korea's The Elec. Samsung Display will reportedly begin mass production of eighth-generation OLED displays for the device in May. Samsung is planing to ship two million of these displays to Apple by the end of the year. The panel will be sent to Foxconn from the third quarter of 2026 for assembly into the final machines. Some components for the device are said to still in development, sinc...

Welcome to my world. Hideki Kamiya, the legendary game developer behind titles like Resident Evil 2, Bayonetta, and Viewtiful Joe, is getting his own book. Titled 'The World of Hideki Kamiya', the book is currently only confirmed for release in Japan on 2nd April 2026, but we'll be keeping a close eye on a potential western release. Naturally, it will cover Kamiya's career, with the creator providing his own thoughts on some of the games he's made over the years.

Kratos and Aloy might let you know when it's time for a software update if Sony implements its newly patented generative AI podcasts.

Proton VPN is running a solid deal right now, dropping its two-year Proton VPN Plus plan to $2.99 per month.

Scooby Doo-style, it was hidden in the files all along.

Like some sort of corporate Russian doll, SpaceX has announced its acquisition of xAI. The merger will “form the most ambitious, vertically integrated innovation engine on (and off) Earth,” according to, well, owner Elon Musk.  The AI company, arguably best known for its ongoing CSAM-generating chatbot controversy, might seem like a strange fit for a rocket company. But SpaceX is apparently key to Musk’s latest scheme to build AI data centers in space. There might be an argument for moving the r...

Civilization 7 was a bit of an odd release last year. With a Metacritic score of 79 and positive comments from Take-Two's leadership, it was considered a success. Longtime Firaxis fans weren't as kind to it though, as many felt it was too disruptive or shallow. As expected, 2026 might be the year the studio makes the game's future brighter.

Are the two biggest beasts in AI falling out of love?

That's to celebrate id's 35th anniversary.

Nintendo's financial results up to the end of 2025 show that the Switch family of consoles continue to break records
