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 […]

Don’t shoot the messenger, but even if you’ve played your Xbox consistently for the past four years and you think you know it inside and out, you may still be surprised by what your console is capable of. Just like the PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch...
Fallout 4’s free next-gen update is finally here, and it’s brought plenty of headaches with it. Patching in a 60fps mode for free on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S is a nice reason to dive back into one of Bethesda’s more controversial and arguably ...
Fallout 4's free next-gen upgrade for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC arrives nearly a decade after the post-apocalyptic sequel’s original release. Thanks to the massive popularity of the recent Amazon TV adaptation, fans are ready to clock back...
In recent years, it’s become common for AAA games to hold back their New Game+ modes, often rolling them out as part of a “big update” weeks or months after launch. Well, apparently, that won’t be the case with the upcoming PS5 exclusive Stellar Blade, which will have New Game+ available from launch, and it sounds pretty meaty. In addition to tackling the game at a higher difficulty, players can look forward to learning new skills and earning a bunch of NG+ exclusive outfits for Eve (a hefty 34 all!) We have more details about NG+ below, but first, check […]
Prior to release, all indications were that Stellar Blade would be an unusually technically polished current-gen launch, with the game’s demo leaving many impressed. But, of course, demos aren’t always indicative of the final game, with devs sometimes taking a thin slice of gameplay and give it more polish than the rest of the game. Well, the review embargo for Stellar Blade has arrived, and it seems it’s not only a good time in terms of action (check out Wccftech’s positive review here) but according to the tech heads at Digital Foundry, the full game is every bit as technically […]
A juxtaposition of environmental elements that, taken together, can be interpreted as an allusion to the n-word will be removed from sci-fi action game Stellear Blade in a day one patch, Sony confirmed today. The company told IGN the offensive referenc...
On paper, the PlayStation 5 Pro's 45% faster GPU should be enough to fix issues in GPU-limited scenarios, such as in games aggressively using dynamic resolution scaling. The tech experts at Digital Foundry recently discussed the specs of the yet-to-be-revealed mid-generation refresh, going over what PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution and Ultra Boost Mode could bring to the table and which games could benefit the most from the enhancements they should bring on day one without any input from developers. Among the titles that should benefit the most should be titles that use AMD FSR 2 aggressively, like Star Wars Jedi […]
PS5 System Update 24.03-09.20.00 has been deployed by Sony and we've got you covered with the official release notes. The new firmware version for Sony's console appears to be a minor one, and like most PlayStation system software updates, this latest update once again improves the system's stability and performance. In theory, with all these stability updates, the PS5 is almost as stable as the PS4 once was. In addition to improving software performance and stability, this new system update expands the UI's Game Help feature by adding Community Game Help Features. Also, the "Remote Play connected" message can now […]
Microsoft and Marvel have teamed up to create a new X-Men-themed Xbox console that looks awesome and comes with a Wolverine-inspired controller, too. Sadly, this new console isn’t for sale and can only be won via a limited-time sweepstakes. Read more...

A very interesting rumor came out of the latest episode of the XboxEra podcast, with insider Shpeshal_Nick claiming to have heard that a Helldivers 2 Xbox port is currently under consideration at Sony. We know that PlayStation has a new CEO at the moment. I think the CEO might be a little more open to certain things. What I've heard, again, just the rumor that I've heard, is that there may be some very very early - very early - preliminary discussions about the possibility of Helldivers 2 coming to Xbox. Remember what I said, though. It doesn't mean it's […]
