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 […]

The PlayStation VR2 headset is getting official PC support later this year, Sony confirmed today. In a new post on the Official PlayStation Blog detailing some upcoming games, Sony Interactive Entertainment content communications manager Gillen McAllister confirmed that the company is "currently testing the ability for PlayStation VR2 players to access additional games on PC to offer even more game variety in addition to the PlayStation VR2 titles available through PlayStation 5." Official PC support is expected to come later this year. The lack of official PC support for the PlayStation VR2 headset was hardly surprising, given how its predecessor […]
Last week, on the heels of rampant rumors and speculation, Microsoft announced that while they aren’t porting their biggest games like Starfield to other platforms, they would be bringing four slightly lower-profile games to the competition. At the time, Phil Spencer wouldn't say what these games were, but as of today we now know three of the four. During the latest Nintendo Direct it was announced Grounded and Pentiment are coming to Switch, and now we know Hi-Fi Rush is coming to PS5. We know this because Bethesda’s Latin American channel seemingly set a trailer live too soon – it’s […]
Securing physical copies of a number of Disney classics is about to get a lot harder. Disney has announced today that after 23 years of service, it will be shuttering the Disney Movie Club later this year. Disney Movie Club is a subscription service fo...
The PlayStation 5 Pro will be marketed as a 120 FPS, 4K machine, thanks to its better specs and AI upscaling, which Sony has been working on for a while, according to rumors circulating online. In a new video shared today by Moore's Law is Dead, NXGamer's Michael revealed that a few unnamed sources confirmed that the upcoming hardware refresh will indeed feature some AI upscaling in the vein of NVIDIA DLSS that has been in the works for some time, which, alongside the improved specs over the base model, will allow Sony to market the system as a 120 […]

While the PlayStation 5 is apparently entering the later stages of its life cycle, some industry analysts think Sony might be planning to give the system an update similar to the one the PS4 received with the PlayStation 4 Pro within the next year.Read...
There's a broad consensus in the game industry that the PlayStation 5 Pro is indeed launching in the second half of the year, making it a great piece of hardware for the launch of Grand Theft Auto VI, according to a well-known analyst. As reported by CNBC, analyst Serkan Toto spoke about the launch of the console, saying, "There seems to be a broad consensus in the game industry that Sony is indeed preparing a launch of a PS5 Pro in the second half of 2024." The console's launch will also line up perfectly with the release of Grand Theft […]
Sony’s most recent earnings report wasn’t a great one for the previously-strong-seeming PlayStation brand. As we reported, Sony downgraded their fiscal year 2024 (which runs from the beginning of April 2023 to the end of March 2024) target for PS5 sales from 25 million to 21 million. They also admitted that no major AAA franchise entries will be published over the course of this coming fiscal year. Needless to say, this wasn’t received that well, partly leading to a plunge in Sony stock that subtracted an estimated $10 billion from the Japanese company’s value. That said, a number of financial […]
Third-person shooter sensation Helldivers 2 reached an extraordinary 409,337 concurrent players over the weekend. That makes it the fifth most popular game on Steam, a fact made all the more impressive when you factor in that three of those five games ...

Helldivers 2 has passed the Steam concurrent player count for Starfield and Destiny 2 and is easily Sony's best-performing game on Steam. Earlier this month we reported that the sci-fi cooperative shooter easily surpassed the launch of God of War on Steam. Last week, Arrowhead CEO and Helldivers 2 Creative Director Johan Pilestedt revealed that the game had sold around 1 million copies with a roughly equal share between PS5 and PC units. Fast forward one week and the Arrowhead's game keeps impressing with Concurrent Players on Steam now having peaked at nearly 334.000 (333.827). Not only an impressive number […]
This week, after days of swirling rumors and fan speculation, Phil Spencer and other Xbox bigwigs finally pulled back the curtain (a little bit, at least) on what the future holds for the console and the Xbox brand. Sony also hinted at what 2025 will b...
