Apple is increasingly focusing on building its own devices and expanding its ecosystem by taking steps towards a more native experience for users and relying less on third-party accessories. While the Cupertino-based tech giant's HomePod and AppleTV have left quite the mark in the smart home category, it generally relies more on outsourcing cameras and other hardware for smart homes. Now, a new report suggests that the company intends to create a fully integrated experience by developing its own smart home accessories. Gurman hints about Apple working on making smart home products like security cameras for a more integrated experience […]

Fallout fans have been desperate for something new to play in the post-apocalyptic RPG franchise ever since the Amazon TV adaptation blew up earlier this year. Recently, however, director Todd Howard said Bethesda doesn’t want to “rush” a new single-pl...
Following the massive success of the Fallout TV show and subsequent resurgence in sales of previous installments, rumors that Microsoft was interested in fast-tracking the next mainline single player game. Even Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer subtly hinted at that possibility in a recent interview. However, in a lengthy video chat with MrMattyPlays, Bethesda's Todd Howard clarified there's no interest from the studio in rushing out a new Fallout game. I agree with the statement that Fallout has never been more popular, looking at the number of players coming into those games and obviously the popularity of the TV show. […]
Fallout 5 may release sooner than anticipated, thanks to the smashing success of the Amazon Prime Video TV show, judging from some recent comments from Phil Spencer. Speaking with IGN in an interview conducted after yesterday's Xbox Games Showcase, the Xbox head talked about the post-apocalyptic franchise, saying that the TV show has been amazing for them and that Bethesda's director Todd Howard is looking at the plans on what he's doing. While Phil Spencer couldn't say more on the matter, he said that Todd Howard has recognized the TV show's success on his own and is thinking through what […]
The Fallout TV show on Amazon Prime Video was a massive success, providing a significant boost to game sales and easily securing a second season. That said, the popularity was 'immensely surprising' to showrunner Graham Wagner, as he explained to The Hollywood Reporter. Wagner also said the creators had talked about doing five seasons of the series, which looks more feasible now after all the positive reactions. The popularity of the show is an immense surprise. We didn’t make this show for everyone. We made it for ourselves, and that was, an important part of approach. But you never know […]

Fortnite has finally launched Chapter 5: Season 3, "Wrecked," and with it come the new unique points of interest and skins for all you madmen out there. Well, instead of going through the long patch notes released by Epic Games, we'll give you guys a rundown of what to anticipate with the new season. As always, the new Wrecked season brings exciting in-game content for gamers, this time focusing more on a post-apocalyptic theme, fitting the likes of Fallout (as previously teased), with the Brotherhood of Steel's T-60 Power Armor being the most iconic Battle Pass skin. Let's take a […]
After a handful of teases of things to come, Fortnite has finally revealed what players can look forward to in Chapter 5 Season 3. Epic Games’ ubiquitous battle royale full of licensed crossovers is shifting into a post-apocalyptic gear just as Furiosa...
We've already reported in multiple instances about the overwhelming popularity of the Fallout TV show. The fact that it proved financially beneficial to Bethesda was inevitable following the incredible surge in sales of games like Fallout 4, Fallout 76, and even Fallout New Vegas. VG Insights has now attempted to quantify the earnings derived more or less directly from the TV show's renewed interest. They estimate that Fallout 4 sold 2 million copies, earning around $22 million, while Fallout 76 sold between one and one and a half million units, earning around $16 million. Then there's the estimated Fallout 76 […]
It’s the middle of May 2024 and that means we’re nearly halfway through the year. What has this year been like in video game news? Tons of layoffs (sad), lots of new games (glad), and some weird outliers, as usual. This week, we saw set photos and off...
Yesterday, Epic Games teased an upcoming Fallout crossover with Fortnite in Chapter 5, Season 3. This is entirely unsurprising, as Epic has always tried to bring the hottest entertainment franchises across all media to Fortnite in an attempt to maintain interest in the game. In a way, it is further confirmation - in case it was needed at all - that the massively acclaimed Fallout TV show (now renewed for a second season) helped propel Bethesda's post-apocalyptic franchise into the mainstream. Fallout 4 shot to the very top of the sales charts in both the United States and Europe, with […]
