It's been a big week for foldable iPhone rumors. In case you missed any of them, here are five developments that we've covered over the last few days. Apple is expected to launch the iPhone Fold this September. For everything else we know, be sure to check out our dedicated roundup. Display Crease Early reports suggested Apple had solved the crease problem that has plagued many foldables on the market, thanks to a new Samsung-supplied panel that has been described variously as being "virtually c...

From March 15, the commission rate for standard in-app purchases (IAPs) will be reduced from 30 percent to 25 percent on its mainland China App Store storefront for both iOS and iPadOS. In a Developer blog, Apple also said that developers belonging to its App Store Small Business or Mini Apps programmes will also have their fees reduced by 3 percent, from 15 to 12 percent. This applies to the commissi...

Final Fantasy 14 patch 7.5 leads us into the new expansion, with a return to Garlemald, Beastmaster, and a secret FF5 boss joining the MMO.

All right, my old chuckaboo, it's time to shake daddles and go mafficking. The toffs want us to pluck a few April showers from the insides of yon Ken Bowman. Cheese and crust! Now that's a fancy crib. Look at the shine on these hardwood floors. Still, I don't trust these shadows. Let's step lively now and draw latches so we can shove off and powder our hair down the Bohemian Bungery. ...Cordura is a one-to-four player horror game in which you play a Dishonored extra stealing magic roses from the...

I admit I was a bit surprised when I looked at my Pokémon Pokopia playtime on Monday and discovered I'd somehow put in nearly 24 hours over the weekend. But still, that didn't stop me from scoffing when my colleagues started talking about how they'd been losing sleep to the thing. Ridiculous, I thought! Impossible! So it almost feels inevitable that, a day later, this article comes to you through a thick fog of sleep deprivation - and all because I stayed up till 2am last night, unshakably compe...

Generative AI was all over this year's Game Developers Conference, but there was no clear vision of how it best fit into games.

The post Monster Hunter Stories 3: Tips and Tricks to Master your First Adventures in Azuria appeared first on Xbox Wire.

To the gurney. Following a handful of Star Trek games on Switch over the last few years, a couple of which have been rather good, Switch 2 now has its own entry in the Trek library courtesy of German devs GameXcite, and this is probably the best one yet - IF (big if) you've got the stones for a long, arduous journey. It's worth emphasising up front that Star Trek: Voyager - Across The Unknown is punishing. If you want to explore strange new worlds stress-free, best warp on by; expect compromises...

Unless you've been living under a roc (pun intended), you'll know that there's a pretty hefty rumour going around about The Witcher 3 and some potential new DLC for the game, said to be releasing some 11 years after the game's initial launch.

Indie studio Speculative Agency - which is currently making "a narrative courtroom deck-builder about ordinary people who make the powerful pay for destroying our future", called All Will Rise (quote from Kickstarter) - has made the brave decision to return funding given by Xbox and Microsoft to join the No Games for Genocide boycott.

Overwatch beat out an intergalactic RPG and a StarCraft MMO.

Zombie Panic was a standout multiplayer mod for Half-Life, and now it's finally been brought to Steam after two decades of waiting.

It was a speedrunner's dream, but it didn't work.

See you, space cowboy.

Apple's new family of laptops might have a cringeworthy name, but don't let it fool you. Despite the MacBook Neo running on a built-for-iPhone A-series processor and being limited to 8GB of RAM, it delivers on what Macs do best. It has a capable screen, keyboardand trackpadand its overall build quality should embarrass other laptop-making rivals that have compromised on those areas with their $600 laptops. Don't expect a gaming rig – it struggled predictably to run Lies of P, but for most of the...

In today’s dwarf news, both Deep Rock Galactic spinoffs had announcements to make at the Future Games Show Spring Showcase. Loudest and crunchiest of the two was autoshooter Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor revealing its first new class, the bulldozer-riding Demolisher, who’ll get to work shifting shale on April 30th. Also approaching is co-op roguelike shooter Deep Rock Galactic: Rogue Core, which is launching into early access on May 20th.

Uber’s and Motional's Hyundai Ioniq 5 autonomous EVs will start appearing as an option for riders in Las Vegas. Passengers requesting for an UberX, Uber Electric, Uber Comfort or Uber Comfort Electric ride may be matched with a Motional robotaxi. They will not be forced to take it, though, and will be notified and given the option to decline and choose a regular ride instead. But if they want to try it, they can boost their chances of getting matched with a robotaxi ride by opting in via the Rid...

GDC 2026 was full of great games. At Fate's End, Mina the Hollower, and more stole the show at this year's GDC.

It’s hard to believe that it’s been almost four years since Apple gave the MacBook Air a serious glow-up. The 2022 model was a total redesign that bumped its performance with the M2 chip and also improved a number of key components. It was also the first MacBook Air to drop the signature tapered design, and Apple added a 15-inch model one year later to boot. Since then, Apple’s primarily focused on making sure it has a new chip every year — we’re already up to the M5, if you can believe it.  As ...

Getting worse before it gets better.

A Fortnite boycott is planned for March 19.

As part of a hefty podcast with Lex Fridman, ex-Blizzard vice president Jeff Kaplan makes the moral argument against AI use in its current state.

The creators of gloriously unearthly anti-capitalist deckbuilder All Will Rise have announced that they're joining the No Games For Genocide boycott against Microsoft's business links with the Israeli military. As such, developers Speculative Agency will be returning funds provided by Microsoft as part of a "developer acceleration programme deal" in 2025. They also won't be releasing the game on Microsoft platforms.

How did we get here?

Pokémon Pokopia is good, isn't it? Despite selling over 2.2m copies within a week of launch, and being so impressive that it's even making Nintendo stock go up, there are a few issues with the game that are impeding everyone from having a great time with the title. Don't worry, though, Nintendo has confirmed we will soon get an update that addresses a variety of bugs present in the launch version of the game.

Sandfall Interactive's RPG continues its almost unbroken Game of the Year winning streak with five wins at the Game Developers Choice Awards

Arriving later this year. Publisher Vertigo Games and developer Exkee have announced a full remake of the FMV cult classic The 7th Guest, heading to the Switch later this year. Curiously, there's seemingly no Switch 2 version of the game at the time of writing, so we're keen to see how this one runs on the Switch. It's an intriguing proposition, mind you, with FMV sequences re-recorded using volumetric video, letting you view scenes in full 3D. The remake looks to be based on a recent VR version...

Apple's exclusive deal for US broadcast rights of Formula 1 was a big shift to streaming from ESPN's cable coverage of the past, but after the first race (the Australian Grand Prix), it seems to be going well. "The 2026 Formula 1 season on Apple TV is off to a strong start, with fans responding positively and viewership up year over year for the first weekend, exceeding both F1 and Apple expectations," Apple VP Eddy Cue told The Hollywood Reporter.  Apple didn't give any ratings or other details...
