These are some tough times for PC builders. Not long ago, a 32GB DDR5 kit cost around $100, but with the current RAM prices that is no longer true. We did some tests to find out who would benefit the most from faster memory speeds.

Update 66: The Backwoods is bringing UFOs and a drive-in movie theater to Fallout 76 in season 24

How much would you pay for a good night's sleep? This is a question I've asked myself repeatedly over the last few weeks as I've been testing the Dreamie, a $250 alarm clock and "bedside companion" that I couldn't stop thinking about after I first encountered it at CES. Ambient's Dreamie offers many of the conveniences of a smartphone-connected device — highly customizable alarm schedules, a library of soundscapes and noise masks, Bluetooth so you can connect earbuds and podcasts (soon). But it ...

The TMNT Universes Beyond set turns Food tokens into mutant fuel — and made me love the mechanic all over again.

After several weeks of testing, Apple today released Xcode 26.3, an update that allows developers to use tools like Anthropic's Claude Agent and OpenAI's Codex for app creation directly in Xcode. With support for agentic coding, Xcode can complete more complex app development tasks autonomously. Apple worked with Anthropic and OpenAI to configure their agents for use in Xcode and to ensure that AI models can access a full range of Xcode features. Agents are able to create new files, examine code...

I'm finding Surgent Studios, the developer of Tales of Zenzera: ZAU and Dead Take, increasingly difficult to pin down, though, not in a bad way. Those two games are a far cry from one another in both atmosphere, genre, and mechanics, and now the studio's next game is something completely different once again: FixForce, an extraction platformer, a combination of words that might finally pin down Those Types of Games.

I firmly believe Stardew Valley’s multiplayer update was the most important of the last decade, because its magic is well worth sharing.

Burger King, the chain that leans into creepy when others don't dare, is at it again. The Verge reported on Thursday that the company is rolling out a new voice-controlled AI chatbot for its workers. That may sound like business as usual in 2026, but this assistant doesn't just help with meal prep and monitor inventory. It also has an unsettling habit of surveilling employees' voices for "friendliness." The voice-controlled chatbot will live inside employees' headsets. The company said the AI is...

The team behind 2D side-scroller God of War: Sons of Sparta has shared details on how to access the game's two player co-op content without finishing the main story first.

Ta ra, turn-based. We've grown used to the Disgaea series' tried-and-tested tactical gameplay on Nintendo consoles over the last ~20 years, but the next game promises something a little different. In Disgaea Mayhem, it's all about the action. NIS America has today announced that this action RPG spin-off (which launched in Japan as 'Kyouran Makaism' last month) will be launching in the West on Switch 1 & 2 at some point this summer.

Pokémon is 30 this week. Stardew Valley is 10! Coincidence? YOU DECIDE.

Patty will live in your headset to provide meal prepping instructions and track data across the company.

There's apparently no point being the only careful AI company.

Antarctica is quite possibly the perfect setting for anything remotely horror related, given its absolute remoteness. All you'll find there are penguins, seals, and fungus, it is as no where as no where can be, of course serving as the setting for The Thing, so I guess maybe that's there too. And soon, the tundra will be home to another piece of horror media, a psychological horror game called Cryptica "where the apocalypse is just the beginning." Oh goody!

A decade on from its 1.0 launch, action-RPG Grim Dawn is getting some new Fangs of Asterkarn DLC that adds 5.5 square kilometres of in-game terrain. Picture the extra geography barrelling out of the atmosphere like a boisterous asteroid, teeming with bosses and minibosses and unique items. Look out below! The DLC will increase the size of the base game by 76%, and will be prefaced by a free update with a new scaleable UI and revised stash feature, offering dedicated crafting and components pages...

The jury's still out on whether Bungie's reworking has paid off.

Mobile gaming benchmarks tell us more than if it's a good "do you have any games on your phone" device. This article takes a look at Evolve, which is a game rendering benchmark that may allow us to more comprehensively measure phone performance.

It's not the sexiest spy story I've ever heard, I'll be honest.

Everyone has regrets in life, but none are as tragic as mine. I’ll never forgive high school me for selling my Pokémon games.

We appear to have reached a point in the information age where AI models are becoming old enough to retire from, er, service — and rather than using their twilight years to, I don’t know, wipe the floor with human chess leagues or something, they're now writing blogs. Can anything be more 2026 than that? ICYMI, Anthropic recently sunsetted Claude Opus 3, the first of its models to be retired since outlining new preservation plans. Part of this process is conducting "retirement interviews" with t...
