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 […]

Apex Legends Season 20, entitled “Breakout,” launches next week, and EA and developer Respawn/Respawn Vancouver have detailed what the update will include. Players won’t be getting a new Legend this time around, but in its place Respawn is promising a major shakeup to core gameplay in the form of a new in-game progression system. Each Legend will be able to unlock four upgrades throughout the course of a match, each of which will either augment existing abilities or even grant completely new abilities. As part of this change, armor upgrades will now be tied to the in-game progression system, rather […]
In recent months and years, there’s been a lot of speculation about what might be in the future for Naughty Dog. We know their ambitious The Last of Us multiplayer project has been canceled and they’re refocusing on multiple single-player titles. There’s also a lot of speculation about where The Last of Us franchise might be going in light of the massive breakout popularity of the TLOU HBO series. Well, in a new documentary detailing the making of The Last of Us Part II, series mastermind Neil Druckmann gives a surprisingly in-depth answer about the future of the franchise. First […]
As a AMD partner game, Starfield has offered strong support for FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) from the get-go, so many were wondering when support for FSR 3 might arrive considering the game got DLSS 3 support via an update last year. FSR 3 is, of course, AMD’s answer to DLSS 3, with both techs adding frame generation to the mix for higher framerates and smoother performance. According to Bethesda, FSR 3 will be coming to the Starfield Steam Beta next week, and then will roll out to all players sometime within the month, before the game’s next major update. “We're […]
The WWE 2K games have rallied in recent years after some near franchise-killing missteps, with WWE 2K22 offering up a largely successful revamp of the franchise’s core action and WWE 2K23 keeping the rudder steady while offering a few major additions like the new War Games match. This year’s WWE 2K24 seems to be focused on building out the series’ roster of modes and features, with added in-ring abilities, a wide-ranging 2K Showcase celebrating WrestleMania’s 40th birthday, Ambulance and Coffin matches, and other new ways to play. I recently had the opportunity to travel to Tampa, Florida to go hands-on […]
Rumors have been percolating for a while that the cult-favorite branching-narrative horror game Until Dawn was due to make a comeback, and during today’s big State of Play, Sony confirmed it. This new version of Until Dawn won’t be a mere port – the game has been rebuilt using Unreal Engine 5 and will add new features, like a controllable third-person camera that should make the game feel a bit more modern. You can check out a teaser trailer for the new Until Dawn, below. This version of Until Dawn is being developed by Ballistic Moon, a new studio founded […]
Since being revealed back in late 2022, very little has been revealed about Death Stranding 2 beyond its first evocative trailer. Of course, that’s par for the course for Hideo Kojima who likes his teases and secrets, but nevertheless, the Stand-type game fans out there have been hungry for more details. Well, today during the latest State of Play showcase, Sony and Kojima provided a fresh peek at Death Stranding 2: On the Beach (yes, that is the full title) and locked in a 2025 release window. And boy howdy, that trailer's a big one. I can't even begin to […]
Looking back at the history of survival horror, few games loom larger than Silent Hill 2, and so, as you’d expect, there’s been a lot of anticipation, speculation, and concern about the upcoming Silent Hill 2 remake. Can Bloober Team successfully deliver a modern version of Konami’s classic? It’s an open question and we’ve seen very little of the remake since it was first announced back in 2022. Well, today during the most recent State of Play show, Sony and Konami gave us a revealing new peek at the Silent Hill 2 remake. The trailer shows James Sunderland making his […]
Excitement for the new stylish actioner Stellar Blade has been gradually building for a while, and today during their latest State of Play show, Sony providing a tantalizing new peek at the game and a solid release date. Originally known as Project Eve, the Korean-developed action game has garnered attention for its impressive visuals and its PS5 exclusivity. Stellar Blade’s revealing (and uh, not terribly supportive) costumes have raised a few eyebrows, but the game’s combination of high-octane PlatinumGames-style stylish action and impressive tech is undeniably alluring. Until now, most of what we’ve seen of Stellar Blade has focused on […]
Today during Sony’s latest State of Play showcase, we got a fresh peek at Hideo Kojima’s Death Stranding 2 - On the Beach, but it turns out that’s not all the legendary developer had arguably more exciting store. At the end of the show, Kojima and PlayStation Studios boss Herman Hulst showed up to announce “Physint,” Kojima's return to the action-stealth genre he created and popularized with Metal Gear Solid. That’s promising enough, but it seems this project won’t just be a video game, but rather a whole multimedia enterprise that aims to “to transcend the barriers between film and […]
The next Mass Effect is likely still several years away, but those eager for new content from BioWare’s universe can look towards another epic sci-fi shooter in the meantime. Yes, today it was announced Destiny 2 will be getting a variety of Mass-Effect-themed cosmetics, including the free “Alliance Requisitions Bundle” and the paid “Normandy Crew Bundle.” You can get more details, below. “The Normandy Crew Bundle will be available at the Eververse store in-game and will include a Commander Shepard-inspired N7 armor set for Titans, a Garrus-inspired Vakarian set for Hunters, and a Liara-inspired Shadow Broker set for Warlocks. In […]
During the latest Xbox Developer Direct the upcoming Visions of Mana made a surprise appearance, ultimately taking up several minutes of the showcase and hinting maybe Microsoft and Square Enix were working closely to promote the game. Then, eagle-eyed fans noticed a number of references to Visions of Mana being a Day 1 Game Pass release on the Xbox store and website, which made a certain amount of sense given the Xbox Direct appearance. Ah, but don't get too excited just yet Game Pass subscribers. Eurogamer reached out to Microsoft about the status of Visions of Mana, and, apparently, the […]
For as many adventures that Kiryu and crew have gone on in the Like a Dragon/Yakuza franchise, a passport was never a part of Kiryu’s carry-on. It’s been nearly two decades of titles and this marks the first one that has left the Japanese borders, at least in-game. There’s a lot of new ground together, with the adventure expanding beyond Yokohama and Kamurocho to the beach resorts of Honolulu. The mystery of the subtitle to Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth will be immediately apparent to players as they experience the narrative firsthand and isn’t just a shorthand for milking the […]
