The store has been temporarily closed for "refurbishment" since Monday, January 12. The extent of the changes remains to be seen. It is not yet clear if Apple made any changes that will be visible to customers. In some cases, Apple only updates a store's fixtures or back-of-house area, resulting in no visible differences to customers when business resumes. Apple f...

U.S. ChatGPT users who have a free account or a low-cost Go subscription will start seeing ads starting today, according to OpenAI. Ads will be limited to the Free and Go subscription tiers, and will be shown to logged-in adult users. OpenAI does not plan to show ads to minors, and the company claims that ads will not influence the answers that ChatGPT provides. OpenAI also says it will not provide advertisers with content from ChatGPT conversations. OpenAI is not profitable, and the free and Go...

Users on ChatGPT's free and Go plans in the US may now start to see ads as OpenAI has started testing them in the chatbot. The company announced plans to bring ads to ChatGPT. At the time, the company said it would display sponsored products and services that are relevant to the current conversations of logged-in users, though they can disable personalization and "clear the data used for ads” whenever they wish. “Our goal is for ads to support broader access to more powerful ChatGPT features whi...

Death Race 2026. In a cruel twist of irony, those of us who remember the breakneck mayhem of the original Carmageddon are creeping ever closer to our senior citizen bus pass. This will allow us to ride a slow-moving passenger vehicle that gains no extra points for mulching pedestrians. Released in 1997, this classic of vehicular combat arrived with some critical praise and instant controversy. Deliberately baiting outrage with its points-for-murder gameplay, it was banned in some countries and h...

Overwatch season 1's release date brings new heroes and a whole lot more. Here's when Overwatch season 1 releases in your time zone

Ring aired a Super Bowl ad touting its Search Party feature that didn't quite get the intended buzz. Instead, the commercial scared the pants off of anyone concerned about a mass surveillance state. The feature is advertised as a way to reunite missing dogs with their owners, a noble cause indeed, but Search Party does this by turning individual Ring devices into a surveillance network. Each camera uses AI to identify pets running across its field of vision and all feeds are pooled together to p...

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is a brilliant entry in the Nazi-punching archaeologists franchise, and you can get the full experience at a lower price than ever.

I hate Discord with the intensity of a supernova falling into a black hole. I hate its ungainly profusion of tabs and voice channels. I regret its cybersecurity breaches. I resent that the PRs use it for every virtual press event. I’m furious that I have to download 12 updates whenever I remember to turn it on. I despise the feisty and cloying loading screen trivia and service messages. Show me the “empathy banana” again, you weird little gopher beetle. I’ll put you in the microwave. I also disl...

Green Ronin Publishing has launched its Kickstarter campaign for Mutants & Masterminds Fourth Edition, and it's already fully funded.

Blizzard has explained why Warcraft-based collectible card game, Hearthstone, still isn't available on console, 12 years after release. The game is available on handheld devices like tablets and mobile, but has never made the jump to the likes of Switch 2 or Steam Deck. In explaining its thinking, the developer suggested that belonging to Microsoft and Xbox means these console conversions are now more of a priority than ever.

No, Blizzard is not preparing a Hearthstone 2 announcement for BlizzCon 2026, I've been told, but there is something significant being announced later this year.

"We understand that this will be disappointing for fans and attendees."

Ahead of The Sims 4: Royalty and Legacy expansion pack's upcoming release, 50 DLC packs have been heavily discounted on Steam

A recent update to Steam allows developers to list a planned 1.0 release date for their Early Access games. While developers have always been free to share this information in blog posts or in the description on the store, in the past, they couldn't flag a game's planned release so clearly. While this might seem like a small change, I'm thrilled to see it. Steam Early Access can be an excellent tool for developers, allowing them to put their game into players' hands and earn money without waitin...

YouTube is launching YouTube TV Plans this week, after revealing the program back in December. These are genre-specific subscription packages that let users opt into a curated version of the service and save a few bucks in the process. Yeah. It's pretty much cable, proving you can't cut a cord if it's made out of invisible radio waves. There more than ten plans available and they are all cheaper than the typical asking price of $83 per month. There's a Sports Plan that costs $65 per month and in...

Imaginative or uninspired? After a slate of HD-2D remakes, Dragon Quest has brought another of its past entries into the modern era, this time with a doll-like, diorama-style 3D look in Dragon Quest VII: Reimagined. This complete overhaul of the 2000 PlayStation RPG, which also came out on the 3DS in 2013 and 2016 (Japan and the West respectively) delivers a streamlined version of one of the longest games in the series, smoothing out the pacing, improving combat, making battles faster, and even ...
