Apple Might Launch Its Own Smart Home Camera As It Focuses On Providing A More Integrated Product Experience For Its Users

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 […]

Market research and data tracking firm NewZoo has released their 2023 PC and Console Gaming Report, and it provides an interesting snapshot of an industry in a bit of a transitional mode. The gaming industry saw out-of-control growth during the pandemic, which fizzled a bit in 2022, but 2023 saw a return to modest growth with the PC/console market reaching $93.5 billion, up 2.3 percent over year-on-year.

Predator: Hunting Grounds Coming to Xbox Series X, PS5 as Sony Hands Publishing to IllFonic

Back in 2020 IllFonic released Predator: Hunting Grounds, another take on the asymmetric multiplayer formula they’ve employed with titles like Friday the 13th: The Game and Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed. Somewhat oddly, the game was published by Sony as a PC and PS4 console exclusive. Despite the big-name publisher, the game kind of came and went without too much fanfare, but now it seems IllFonic is preparing the revive the game on current-gen platforms. IllFonic has announced they’ve taken over publishing duties for Predator: Hunting Grounds and will be officially releasing the game on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. IllFonic will […]

Xbox Boss Wants Epic, Other Stores on Console, Dropping Exclusivity Partly for Gen Z Appeal

In recent months, there’s been a lot of debate and concern about the future of the Xbox brand, with Microsoft seemingly tip-toeing away from exclusives and the traditional console business. In a recent “business update,” Xbox boss Phil Spencer and other execs sought to calm fears, saying major exclusives like Starfield are staying put (for now) and Microsoft is working on powerful new hardware, but fans have been skeptical in the face of “flatlining” demand for Xbox consoles. Well, Spencer sat down for an interview with Polygon at GDC, and it seems he has a new pitch – in Spencer’s […]

Xbox Reportedly “Flatlining” in Europe, Publishers Question Support, More PS5 Ports Coming

While Microsoft has tried to put a happy face on things, the future of Xbox – at least Xbox as a distinct brand with its own hardware and exclusives – has never been more in question. Last month Microsoft tried to calm worries with an Xbox Business Update, in which they revealed several older, smaller-scale games were going multiplatform, but that others, like Starfield, aren’t for now. Furthermore, they vowed to continue working on new hardware which will, apparently, deliver the “largest technical leap ever” (how they plan to deliver on that boast, I don’t know). That all sounds good, […]

Xbox Next Generation to Deliver “Largest Technical Leap” Ever Seen Boasts President

The last 10-days-or-so have been quite the roller coaster for Xbox fans. Team Green was thrown into turmoil earlier this month by rumors that everything from Starfield, to Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, to even Gears of War may be going multiplatform. Granted, some of those rumors were later walked back, but still, the spectre of a third-party future with Xbox getting out of the hardware business was raised. Thankfully, today Xbox leadership Phil Spencer, Matt Booty, and Sarah Bond stepped up to provide some clarification on the latest episode of the Official Xbox Podcast. The good news, is that Microsoft confirmed their commitment to […]

Baldur’s Gate 3 Xbox Crashes are Killing Saves, but a Firmware Update May Help the Situation

After much waiting and uncertainty, Baldur’s Gate 3 finally arrived on Xbox Series X/S last week, and plenty of folks are eagerly playing on the platform, but a few have run into a fairly serious issue. Apparently, some Xbox players have experienced crashes that resulted in their save files disappearing, which is obviously a pretty big problem. Thankfully, according to the official BG3 X account, a fix may have arrived… “Xbox players, we’ve pushed a small update to Baldur’s Gate 3 containing stability fixes. We're aware of the issue of saves disappearing after a crash. An update is available from […]

Game Pass on PS5 and Switch Not in the Plans, $1B a Year Spent Getting Games on the Service

Over the past few years, there have been scattered hints Microsoft would like to bring their Xbox Game Pass service to rival consoles like the PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch. Talk about this heated up in a major way recently, when Xbox CFO Tim Stuart said they want to get Game Pass on “every screen that will play games,” including PlayStation and Nintendo consoles. Juicy! But perhaps we need to slow down a little. In an interview with Windows Central posted today, Xbox boss Phil Spencer poured some cold water on the notion of Game Pass on Sony or Nintendo […]
