Star Trek: Strange New Worlds returns for its fourth season via Paramount Plus on July 23. The ten episodes air weekly until September 24. This is actually the second-to-last batch of episodes, as the show was recently renewed for a fifth and final season. The streamer has dropped a trailer for season four and it looks promising. The tone looks slightly darker when compared to season three, which was maligned for being a bit too silly and uneven. The trailer is narrated by Anson Mount's Captain ...

Six months after Valve tantalisingly unveiled its future hardware plans, one of them has successfully escaped the vortex caused by the mounting RAM crisis. Valve has announced its new Steam Controller - the successor to its long-discontinued 2015 effort - goes on sale 4th May.

Perhaps the greatest compliment I can give Valve's new Steam Controller is that in the week or so I've been using it, I haven't really thought about it much at all. With its heavily Steam-Deck-inspired design, it improves on the original Steam Controller in almost every way - and it's certainly vastly more convincing as an everyday controller - but the things it does best are specific enough that, even with those upgrades, it remains a bit of a niche proposition.

Apple today provided developers with the fourth betas of upcoming watchOS 26.5, tvOS 26.5, and visionOS 26.5 betas for testing purposes. The software comes a week after Apple released the third betas for each platform. The software updates are available through the Settings app on each device, and because these are developer betas, a free developer account is required. There's no word on what's in the software as of yet. watchOS, tvOS, and visionOS often get few features in each new beta, with u...

Valve's Steam Controller will hit the market on Monday, May 4, for a going price of $99 in the United States. The Steam Controller does precisely what it says: It communicates with anything running Steam or the Steam Link app, so this includes PCs, Macs, mobile devices and the Steam Deck. Eventually, the Steam Controller will connect to the new Steam Machine console and Steam Frame VR headset, but neither of these products have solid release dates just yet. They were originally slated to come o...

Don’t mistake the Steam Controller for a PC controller. Even though its main function is to play PC games, Valve’s new gamepad communicates with Steam, and only Steam. This is not a general controller for your PC, Android or iOS devices, and it’s certainly not compatible with any console on the market today, unless you count the handheld Steam Deck. In order to play a game with the Steam Controller, you have to boot it up through Steam. (More on this later). Valve’s end goal for the Steam Contro...

In Mouseburg, every mouse has something to hide. With Mouse: P.I. for Hire, I’ve got very little to complain about, so for the sake of balance, first I’ll gently shine a light on its near-absurd mishmash of influences. The striking rubber-hose animation USP hails from the 1920s. The 11-hour story, with its tough, unsentimental protagonist, and its twists and turns through layers of complicated corruption and conspiracy, grows directly from the roots of film and literary noir – most often associa...

Plans for a simultaneous trio of hardware launches seemingly dashed on the rocks of ongoing RAM shortages, Valve have decided to release the relatively unaffected Steam Controller refresh without Steam Machine or Steam Frame backup. It’s out soon, too: the release date is confirmed for Monday, May 4th, with pricing set at £85 / $99 / €99. Expensive? Maybe a little. A good gamepad? Yes, so says I in our Steam Controller review, which has also been freed from its own embargo limbo.

There's something deeply relaxing about chucking on a solid pair of headphones, listening to some good music and cleaning muck off structures and vehicles. Not in real life, though. Heavens, no.
