Owlcat Games "determined to make amends". Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader was, unfortunately, a huge letdown at launch on Switch 2. In our 4/10 review, we called it a "borderline disaster" thanks to "constantly stuttering frame rate, long loading times, unresponsive and laggy menus and controls, a huge graphical downgrade, and hard crashes". Yikes. Well, thankfully, we can reveal that Owlcat Games will today launch a massive update for Rogue Trader that looks to fix a lot of the game's issues at ...

A federal judge has thrown out most of the claims in a proposed class action accusing Apple's AirPods Max of a condensation defect, ruling that the $549 headphones do what they were built for even if they fall short of a buyer's expectations (via Law360). Filed in April 2025 by two plaintiffs, the suit alleges that condensation builds up inside the AirPods Max ear cups during normal indoor use, which can degrade sound, break ear detection and active noise cancellation, and interfere with chargin...

Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey is full of daring casting choices, but one stands out, though not for the reason you think.

In space, no one can hear you SKWEEEEEE. I had to remind myself recently that it's been less than a year since we first saw Orbitals back at The Game Awards 2025. It feels like forever ago, not because the seven months since have been particularly packed — though they absolutely have — but because in that time, I don't think a day has gone by where I haven't felt excited to dive into this co-op sci-fi anime adventure. Last month, that wait came to an end. Publisher Kepler Interactive invited me ...

Yesterday, Xbox announced that they were spinning off five major studios in the course of the latest round of "historic" restructuring, with 1600 jobs instantly chopped and 1600 more layoffs to follow over the next financial year. It's the latest in a string of failures on the part of Xbox leadership, who have repeatedly butchered the division after an evidently overambitious acquisition spree that dates back to the 2010s. It has, at least, not yet resulted in any outright studio closures. Doubl...
