Following the release of Starfield back in 2023, one of the long-time faces of the publisher announced he was wandering off into the great retirement beyond. Pete Hines, who was head of publishing at the Fallout and Elder Scrolls maker, said at the time that walking away was "not a decision I came to easily or quickly", but that "the time is right". He's now expanded on what went into his exit, painting a pitcure that reflects far less rosily on Bethesda's current corporate overlords Microsoft, ...

This is surely the sweet spot for 1440p OLED gaming.

John Giannandrea, Apple's former head of artificial intelligence, is set to leave the company this week as his final stock vesting date approaches. In his "Power On" newsletter, Mark Gurman noted that Giannandrea's exit has been a prolonged one. Apple moved to dramatically reduce his role in March 2025 following the disappointing launch of Apple Intelligence and ongoing delays to the Siri overhaul, stripping him of oversight of ‌Siri‌, robotics, and other AI teams at that time. The company made ...

As you may well know, Edwin has been devoured by The Maw more than once in his time as news editor. Though you cant say he's not learned from the experience of being a digestee. Knowing that The Maw becomes particularly agitated in weeks stuffed with new releases, I suspect he saw the bloated Steam Upcoming chart and hastily booked his holiday, leaving us to wrangle the beast.

Development on the Nintendo version was paused. Gearbox paused development on Borderlands 4 for Switch 2 earlier this year, and since then, there have been no updates about the Nintendo version. Now, reports have surfaced about a physical retail copy of the Switch 2 version appearing in the wild. This stems from a post on the Borderlands 4 subreddit - with an individual claiming they've acquired a hard copy of the Nintendo release.

Apple's upcoming iPhone 18 Pro is very likely to come in a new deep red color, claims a Chinese leaker, because the color is already being prototyped by Android phone makers. In February, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reported that Apple is testing a deep red finish for the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. Rumors of purple and brown finishes have also circulated, but Gurman believes those are just variants of the same red idea. Weibo-based leaker Digital Chat Station has now thrown their weight be...

Apple is developing at least four different styles of smart glasses, and the company is betting that their superior design will set them apart from rival products, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. Writing in his latest Power On newsletter, Gurman says that Apple's latest designs are made from a high-end material called acetate, which is "more durable and luxurious" than the standard plastic used by most existing brands. In Gurman's words, the designs in testing include: A large rectangular ...

There was this wonderful energy around Marathon a few weeks ago. Not unusual for a brand-new release, sure, but altogether different than the usual hype-laden first impressions. No, this had the unmistakable feeling of a treasure hunt, a community-wide push to unlock something tangible: the Cryo Archive map. All they had to do was solve one measly alternate reality game (ARG). How hard could it be?

But RE Requiem reigns supreme. The latest UK Charts data is in, and Pokémon Pokopia has turned in a solid performance this week to land at number 2. We can only imagine that stores have finally been provided with adequate stock to satiate demand – hardly the most compelling reason for the game's jump up to second place, but we'll take it. If nothing else, we're getting a real sense that Pokopia is likely going to stick around for quite a while. That said, it wasn't quite enough to dethrone Resid...

Apple may be late to the smart glasses market, but it could be covering all its bases with up to four potential styles for its upcoming product. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple could launch some or all of the four styles it's currently testing for its smart glasses. Gurman reported Apple is testing out a large rectangular frame that's comparable to Ray-Ban Wayfarers, a slimmer rectangular design like the glasses that Apple CEO Tim Cook wears, a larger oval or circular frame and a sma...
