FTC 'Click to Cancel' rule that was annoying some services cancelled by the courts

9 juillet 2025 à 16:02
The Federal Trade Commission's so-called "Click to Cancel" rule that would have required single-click subscription cancellation everywhere like it is on the App Store now has been killed off, after a U.S. Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals ruling.

App subscriptions in the App Store are reasonably simple to cancel

The rule, which would force companies to make it clear and simple for users to cancel subscriptions and services, would've made lives easier for consumers across the United States. However, the ruling by the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals effectively leaves the rule ineffectual.

While the rule was finalized in October 2024, the implementation of the rule was delayed until July 14. However, that is no longer a possibility following the ruling.

Stalker 2 coming to PS5 and PS5 Pro later this year

9 juillet 2025 à 16:00

Stalker 2 has been a success so far, but it is time to expand. After releasing as an Xbox console exclusive, GSC Game World is now bringing Stalker 2 to PS5, opening the game up to millions of new gamers. Better yet, many of the bugs that were present at launch have been squashed, to PS5 players will be getting a much better day-one experience. 

While Stalker 2 launched in a rough state, fans were quick to forgive GSC Game World due to the circumstances surrounding the game's development. GSC Game World was based in Ukraine, but when Russia invaded the country in 2022, the studio was forced to relocate. A Russia-linked cyberattack on the studio also led to further delays of the game's launch.

Since launch, GSC Game World has shipped a number of major patches for Stalker 2, the biggest of which arrived last month and makes major changes to the game's flagship A-LIFE simulation technology.

Now with A-LIFE 2.0 now rolled out, GSC Game World can carve out some time to bring Stalker 2 to more platforms. The game launched last year as an Xbox console exclusive. Now, the game will debut on PS5 for the first time ‘later this year'. The lack of firm release date information leaves the door open for a delay.

The announcement follows the recent multi-platform release of the original Stalker games on consoles and PC.

KitGuru Says: Have you tried Stalker 2 since launch? Are you thinking of grabbing the game on PS5?

There are ‘multiple’ Fallout projects in development, but not Fallout 5

9 juillet 2025 à 15:00

While we expected Bethesda Game Studios to grow into a multi-project studio after being acquired by Microsoft, for now, the flagship studio behind Fallout and The Elder Scrolls is remaining as-is. As a result of this, we're unlikely to see Fallout 5 until the 2030s, but it seems that spin-offs are in development to help tide fans over. 

The next mainline Fallout game is not yet in development and won't enter production until after The Elder Scrolls 6 comes out. However, that doesn't mean we won't get other Fallout games in the meantime. In a recent appearance on the Friends per Second podcast, VGC reporter, Jordan Middler, explained that while Fallout 5 is not yet in development there are “multiple Fallout projects in development, including, as far as I'm aware, that one you're all wanting”.

That ‘one you're all wanting' is likely to be a New Vegas game. There were rumours in the year or so after Microsoft acquired Bethesda that New Vegas 2 was greenlit, but no other details have come to light so far. We've also been hearing rumours about a Fallout 3 remaster for years. Now that Oblivion Remastered has been a success, perhaps we'll see a similar makeover for Bethesda's first Fallout game.

As far as Fallout 5 goes, BGS director, Todd Howard, has previously confirmed that there is a ‘one sheet' detailing ideas for the game, but nothing further beyond that.

KitGuru Says: Now that the Fallout Prime series has been a huge success, there is even more pressure to get a new Fallout game out of the door. Season 2 is set to air later this year and will take us to New Vegas, perhaps we'll get a new game teaser around that same time.

Ikea's new Matter-over-Thread smart home gear will work with HomeKit

9 juillet 2025 à 14:38
Ikea is making big changes to its smart home lineup, introducing 20 new devices supporting Matter-over-Thread that will work with HomeKit without needing an intermediary hub.

Homeowners wanting smart home devices have often turned to Ikea for their connected floor lamps and speakers. However, while useful, most of the hardware requires intermediary devices like the Dirigera hub to work with Apple HomeKit.

The furniture producer intends to go big on smart home tech, and to also simplify connectivity at the same time. Speaking to The Verge, Ikea's David Granath said that Ikea is going to be adding considerably to its smart home lineup.

Ubisoft preparing for Assassin’s Creed Black Flag remake announcement

9 juillet 2025 à 14:00

The long awaited announcement of Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag Remake is nearing. Following on from recent comments from a main cast voice actor, fans have begun spotting mysterious changes to the Black Flag Steam page, indicating that a major update is in the works. 

As spotted by The Hidden One, the Steam Store page for Assassin's Creed Black Flag has had a number of updates recently, listing features that were not present in the original game. That list includes things like mouse-only gameplay, adjustable difficulty, manual save functionality and more.

It is speculated that these are features implemented in the remake. These appearing in the back-end for the original game's Steam page makes sense, as the original game listing is likely to be replaced with the remake once it is ready. Ubisoft has done this before with Assassin's Creed 2, with the classic game no longer available to be purchased and replaced by the remaster on all storefronts.

This news follows a recent tease from Matt Ryan, the voice of Edward Kenway, the main protagonist for Assassin's Creed Black Flag. At the rate things are going, we are expecting to see Ubisoft announce the remake before the end of the summer.

KitGuru Says: Like many others, Black Flag was my personal favourite of the classic Assassin's Creed games. Hopefully the remake holds up, Ubisoft can't really afford to erode consumer trust any further.

Returning Steve Jobs took over Apple 28 years ago

9 juillet 2025 à 13:34
In July of 1997, five months after Apple bought NeXT and brought him back into the fold, Steve Jobs became Apple's de facto interim CEO, kicking off the most successful comeback by an executive in the history of American business.

The departure and return of Steve Jobs from Apple is as central to Apple history as just about anything else. It's been pored over in numerous books, two different feature films, more than one documentary, and rather more than a few articles.

Both his exit and his coming back got ugly at times, too, but things happening the way they did helped make the many subsequent Apple triumphs possible.

Ghost of Yōtei State of Play to go live tomorrow

9 juillet 2025 à 13:00

Ever since it was officially announced back in September of last year, fans have been eagerly awaiting for a full deep-dive into the upcoming Ghost of Yōtei. Following its brief presence at June’s showcase, the previously-promised dedicated Ghost of Yōtei State of Play presentation has now been announced and dated.

Taking to the PlayStation Blog to make the announcement, Sucker Punch Productions wrote: “We are less than 100 days away from the launch of Ghost of Yōtei on PS5 on October 2! This week, we can’t wait to give you your best look yet at what to expect with a State of Play gameplay deep dive streaming on July 10.”

Said to feature “nearly 20 minutes of Ghost of Yōtei gameplay hosted by Sucker Punch’s Creative Directors, Jason Connell and Nate Fox” the 10PM presentation will include a look at protagonist Atsu’s new weapons; personalisation options; “new special modes, and much more.”

Ghost of Yōtei State of Play

As mentioned, while Sony has shown off Ghost of Yōtei a couple times now, we’ve yet to see any uninterrupted gameplay.

Given the fact that Ghost of Tsushima released back in 2020 and remains celebrated to this day, it will be highly interesting to see how the team at Sucker Punch Productions have improved upon all of Ghost of Tsushima’s many great elements.

KitGuru says: Are you excited for the State of Play? What did you think of the first game? What are your expectations for Ghost of Yōtei’s new additions and improvements? Let us know down below.

Apple wants to screen real F1 races after its film's success

9 juillet 2025 à 12:50
Apple TV+ is reportedly looking to expand its sports coverage with a bid for the rights to F1 motor racing, specifically following the success of its Brad Pitt movie.

If you thought Apple's constant promotion of F1 would end after the film leaves theaters and starts streaming, you might be wrong. According to the Financial Times, Apple is in talks to acquire the US rights to screen F1, once the organizers' current broadcast contract ends in 2026.

Apple tends to try buying worldwide rights to programming, but that doesn't appear to be possible this time. At present, Disney-owned EPSN has the US rights, and it's that contract which is due to expire.

Dead by Daylight x The Walking Dead officially announced

9 juillet 2025 à 12:00

Dead by Daylight is no stranger to crossovers, with the massively popular asymmetrical multiplayer horror title having collaborated with all sorts of franchises, from horror classics to popular anime and games. In a collab which has been a long time coming, Dead by Daylight x The Walking Dead has now been officially announced.

Following on from the likes of Castlevania; Stranger Things; Resident Evil; Silent Hill; Alien; Alan Wake; Lara Croft; Attack on Titan and even the actor Nicolas Cage, Dead by Daylight is officially crossing over with the highly popular graphic novel / TV series The Walking Dead.

Set to go live on the 29th of July, Dead by Daylight x The Walking Dead will introduce series protagonists Rick Grimes and Michonne – of course as survivors.

Said to be one of the “most requested” horror crossovers from fans, both Rick Grimes and Michonne bring with them 3 unique perks each for further gameplay and strategic diversity.

For those who can’t wait, the Dead by Daylight x Walking Dead crossover can be accessed right now via the game’s Player Test Build; however the team notes that Michonne is currently not playable – though her perks are usable. Full details on the upcoming crossover, including the new perks and more, can be found HERE.

KitGuru says: What do you think of this latest crossover? How long have you been waiting for it? Would you like to see a character from the franchise be added as a killer? Let us know down below.

Tokyo Game Show 2025 announces full line-up of partner publishers

9 juillet 2025 à 11:15

Tokyo Game Show is a staple of the industry, with primarily Japanese developers taking to the event to reveal new games, offer updates on titles and more. Ahead of this year’s event (taking place in September), the full line-up of hundreds of developers and publishers has now been revealed.

Set to go live between the 25th and 28th of September, 2025’s Tokyo Game Show will once again feature hundreds of developers and publishers. Of course, the scope of each team’s involvement differs, with many simply being present across different booths.

That said, pretty much all the heavy-hitters (Nintendo aside) are set to take part in some form or another at TGS this year, including but not limited to:

  • Arc System Works
  • Bandai Namco
  • Capcom
  • EA
  • Koei Tecmo
  • Konami
  • Microsoft
  • Ubisoft
  • SEGA
  • Sony
  • Square Enix
  • Take-Two

While certainly one of the biggest video game expos out there, with over 4000 booths planned for this year’s event, TGS typically does not offer too much in the way of major announcements.

Regardless, it is exciting nonetheless to see so many participants at this year’s Tokyo Game Show. Hopefully we do get to see at least a couple cool / unexpected announcements.

KitGuru says: Are you looking forward to this year’s TGS? Which publisher are you most curious about? What’s the highest profile announcement we could hope for? Let us know your thoughts down below.

The Last of Us Part II update brings new ‘Chronological’ mode

9 juillet 2025 à 10:30

Since its launch back in 2020, Naughty Dog have sporadically updated The Last of Us Part II in the form of a PS5 remaster; a PC release – and a couple bonus free post-launch updates. In a surprising addition, The Last of Us Part II has gotten a new mode which allows players to experience the story in a whole new way: chronologically.

Making the announcement on the PlayStation Blog, Naughty Dog have unveiled and released patch 2.1.0 for PS5 (and update 1.5 for PC), writing: “Available for players as part of a downloadable update today, we’ve introduced a new way to play the story of The Last of Us Part II like never before – chronologically.”

For the uninitiated, The Last of Us Part II is told in a somewhat non-linear manner, with the game’s dual protagonists switching back and forth in both time and space depending on the chapter.

The Last of Us Part II

While this was of course the intended way to experience TLOU Part II’s story, Naughty Dog notes that “we always wondered what it would be like to experience this story chronologically. And now finally, we can answer that question,” adding “Through the new Chronological mode, we believe players will gain even deeper insight into Part II’s narrative.”

Beyond the new mode, the update brings with it a couple other small additions, namely a new skin for Joel and Tommy in the style of Nathan and Sam Drake from Uncharted respectively, as well as some trophies for completing a playthrough using the chronological mode.

While the structure of The Last of Us Part II was highly intentional, it will be interesting to see how the story is perceived when played in this manner.

KitGuru says: What do you think of this update? Is it a welcome surprise? What’s your opinion on the game's original story structure? Let us know down below.

Eero 7 Max mesh router review: The best kind of Wi-Fi overkill

9 juillet 2025 à 02:51
The Eero Max 7 can easily blanket your home with extremely high-speed mesh Wi-Fi 7 and provide routing duties for a 10-gigabit wired network, but at this price, you should wait for sales before going nuts.

White, curved Wi-Fi router with 'eero' logo on a colorful, galaxy-patterned background.
Eero Max 7 review: High spec Wi-Fi, possibly overkill

Home Wi-Fi is a lesser thought-about area of computing. People care more about whether their ISP-supplied router can cover enough of their home to do a good job than fixing it by buying more Wi-Fi access points.

Those who do go for the do-it-yourself approach also care more about coverage than capability. This is fine for small households with more modest bandwidth needs, but for larger families and power users, other factors become important and make the Wi-Fi upgrade more expensive.

Apple's design team leadership in flux once again with Jeff Williams retirement

9 juillet 2025 à 00:17
The legendary Apple design team hasn't had much luck holding onto leadership since Jony Ive left, and with COO Jeff Williams retiring, the leadership role will shift to CEO Tim Cook.

Those keeping score at home will know that Apple CEO Tim Cook is an excellent industry supply chain strategist that launched Apple into what it is today. Cook isn't exactly known for his merits in industrial or software design, if he has any to claim.

However, it doesn't matter because by the end of 2025, the design team at Apple will be reporting directly to Tim Cook. The COO Jeff Williams, who is currently overseeing the design team, will be retiring later in 2025.

Mac shipments growth outpaces PC market in face of tariff trouble

In a report from IDC on Tuesday, global PC shipments in the second quarter of 2025 grew 6.5 percent year-over-year. The growth means there was a total volume of 68.4 million shipments globally in the quarter.

However, while most major PC companies saw some improvement, Apple seemingly gained the most. The figures for the top five PC vendors in terms of worldwide PC shipments puts Apple in fourth place with 6.2 million shipments in Q2 2025. This gives it a 9.1% market share.
