Meta is making another steep cut to its staff, this time to the tune of a 10 percent reduction in its workforce. About 8,000 people will be laid off and about 6,000 open jobs will also be eliminated, according to Bloomberg. In an internal memo from Janelle Gale, Meta's head of human resources, the latest cuts are "part of our continued effort to run the company more efficiently and to allow us to offset the other investments we’re making." Those "other investments" are likely in artificial intel...

Ubisoft Singapore is leading the development of Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced, and surely by now they're getting tired of the whole "pirates!" thing.

"Hyperpersonalization" is the next frontier for videogame marketing, and it doesn't sound good.

I have never played the knife game, the game where you rest your hand on a table, splay out your fingers, and stab the gaps between with a knife, increasing your speed as you go. The reason I have not played the knife game is because I like my fingers, and do not trust my own fine motor movement enough. Good thing video games exist then, 'ey? Specifically, it's a good thing 500 FINGER FILLET exists, or will exist somewhere down the line, a roguelite clicker where you have to stab yourself in the...

There are a lot of folks waiting for a new version of the Apple TV because the set-top box hasn't been updated since 2022. There is an update coming this year, but people will need to wait a bit longer because Apple is holding the next ‌Apple TV‌ until the new version of Siri comes out this fall. Design ‌Apple TV‌ design updates don't happen often, and that's not changing in 2026. The next ‌Apple TV‌ is going to have the same squircle shape as the current model, and it'll continue to be made fro...

I would love to tell you everything about my favorite game of the year so far. But that would be doing a great disservice to Titanium Court. I'm not even sure I could explain it all, anyway. Titanium Court is a run-based game with elements of permanent progression, so it's technically a roguelite. However, you cannot really break Titanium Court like you can with Balatro. There are multiple ways to win a run, but you have to play by the rules. Gradually learning what those are — and how the game ...

Maika Monroe will return to horror in the upcoming film Victorian Psycho

X is closing its Communities feature in May, X Head of Product Nikita Bier has announced. Communities were introduced before Twitter was acquired and rebranded by Elon Musk, and act as a way for users to create, join and moderate public groups focused on a particular interest. Communities make it possible to follow a feed made up of only the people or subject matter you care about, but they haven't been used at the scale the social platform wanted. "Communities had a great vision, but they were ...

The Greenhouse Gas Protocol, a widely used international environmental standard for measuring and reporting emissions, is considering changes to how certain types of the emissions are reported. Advocates for the new guidance argue that the current rules make it too easy for businesses to overstate their commitments to environmentally friendly operations, such as being powered by renewable energy or making progress toward net-zero emissions.  Today, some major tech companies joined a call pushing...

Apple has published a new ad to appeal to customers in the market for an iPhone and Apple Watch pairing, highlighting the insights it can offer for your health. Titled simply "Health with iPhone + Apple Watch," the half-minute ad focuses on a woman waiting in line at a cafe who begins receiving unsolicited health and fitness advice from other people in the queue, as well as local residents, drivers, and passersby – and even accompanying pets. An Apple Watch notification about her new cardio fitn...

Apple TV just dropped a real-deal trailer for Star City, after releasing a short teaser earlier this year. It's a spinoff of For All Mankind, but this new show examines the alt-history space race from the Soviet perspective. In other words, this is a trailer steeped in Cold War-era paranoia. Secret photos are snapped, phones are tapped and characters are disappeared, all set against the backdrop of space exploration. The vibe looks decidedly different from For All Mankind, despite the parent sho...

Filming of the A24-backed and Alex-Garland-directed Elden Ring movie (a series of words that still sounds preposterous to me) is now in full swing. And that means leaks, which this time include high-speed lettuce and an iconic opening moment involving one of the game's most notorious characters.

Living the dream indeed. We've got our latest look at the Japanese charts, thanks to Famitsu, and Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream has left the competition in the dust. Nintendo's latest life sim has got off to a staggering start, shifting a sweet 565,405 copies in its debut week. That leaves this week's silver medallist, Pragmata, with quite the distance to make up — the PS5 version sold 36,470 copies, which is impressive on its own given that the Switch 2 version isn't out until 24th April.

The Skywalker Saga started it all, but projects like Andor and Lucasfilm Publishing's horror novel Hiding From the Dark may give Star Wars fresh life.

Rivian has begun production of its R2 SUV. However, you can't get one just yet: The first customer deliveries (of the most expensive version) aren't expected until later this spring. On Wednesday, CEO RJ Scaringe drove the first electric SUV off the production line at the company's Normal, IL, factory. A storage and logistics building at that factory was damaged by a tornado last weekend, with Wednesday's rollout event seemingly designed to reassure nervous customers and investors. "We are reall...

Anytime, anywhere. The Alien series has had a surprisingly decent streak on consoles since the release of Isolation back in 2014. I can only imagine the sheer disaster of Colonial Marines gave the higher-ups at 20th Century Studios the kick up the bum they sorely needed, but fans have been treated to some pretty enjoyable titles recently. Fireteam Elite? Good! Dark Descent? Even better! Rogue Incursion...? Yeah, pretty good, but it’s got some issues. Originally released as a VR title, Rogue Incu...

After a rough launch last year, work on Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 continues, with the game's first DLC, Loose Cannon, having now settled on a release date: April 27th! That's soon, like next week soon as long as my materially non-existent calendar is right. A new trailer and a fresh bout of details about the DLC were shared too, offering some insight into what you'll actually be doing.

If you’re a Switch 2 owner itching for something new to play and you happen to be partial to an Annapurna Interactive game, then boy is it your lucky day.
