Battlefield 6's Explosive Season 1 Trailer Gives First Look At New Map, Modes & Weapons

The long‑awaited Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition for Nintendo Switch 2 has officially been delayed, with the announcement arriving today via the game’s official X account. Originally expected to launch this year, the title will now arrive in 2026, pushing back one of the most anticipated releases for the new console.
The developers explained that the delay is necessary to ensure the game performs to expectations on Nintendo’s latest hardware. In a statement released on the official Elden Ring X account, From Software said: “While development on ELDEN RING Tarnished Edition continues wholeheartedly toward release, we have decided to move the launch to 2026 to allow time for performance adjustments. We apologize to players looking forward to the game and thank you for your patience and support.”
This decision follows reports from Gamescom 2025, where attendees who tested the Switch 2 version of Elden Ring noted choppy frame rates and inconsistent performance. Those concerns appear to have been validated, as the studio now takes additional time to optimise the game. The delay also comes in the wake of Borderlands 4 being pushed back on Switch 2, with similar reports of technical issues surfacing during hands‑on sessions.
There is no new release date for the game yet, but we should get an update in early 2026. Nintendo typically holds a Direct showcase between late January and late February, so a revised release date could arrive around that time.
KitGuru Says: Elden Ring was one of the major AAA game announcements at the Switch 2 reveal so this delay is bound to disappoint a number of fans. However, I'd rather have the game delayed to ensure smooth performance at launch than have to wrestle with bad performance and then wait months for patches.

Built for precision and consistency, the new thumbstick technology is designed to deliver anti‑drift performance and pixel‑perfect control, giving competitive players a sharper edge in high‑stakes matches.
Beyond the thumbsticks, the Raiju V3 Pro is packed with features aimed at elite console play. Razer’s Pro HyperTriggers allow users to switch between rapid‑fire mouse‑like clicks and full analog control, with actuation points customizable through Synapse 4. Four removable back buttons and two claw grip bumpers, powered by ultra‑responsive mouse‑grade switches, provide additional flexibility and speed. The controller also incorporates mecha‑tactile PBT action buttons and an eight‑way floating D‑pad, both built for durability and crisp feedback. Wireless performance is handled by Razer HyperSpeed, ensuring low‑latency connectivity on PS5.
Players can personalize their setup through the Razer Mobile App and Synapse 4, adjusting sensitivity, remapping buttons, and saving up to four onboard profiles. A premium carry case and detachable USB‑C cable are included, making the controller travel‑ready for tournaments and LAN events.
Professional players have already endorsed the design. HyDra, 2023 Call of Duty World Champion with 100 Thieves, praised the Raiju V3 Pro as “a game‑changer on the PS5,” highlighting the precision of the TMR thumbsticks and the confidence the customization options provide. Razer’s Global Esports Director Jeffrey Chau added that the company worked closely with pros to ensure every feature was engineered for speed, control, and competitive performance.
The Razer Raiju V3 Pro is available now priced at £199.99 GBP, $219.99 USD, or €209.99 MSRP.

The DLC takes Henry into the Sedletz Monastery, where he must investigate the source of a deadly epidemic while navigating the hidden agendas of the factions within its walls.
Players will step into the role of assistant to Sigismund Albicus, a healer with ties to King Wenceslas, as Henry undertakes a covert mission that blends political intrigue with a race against time to uncover the truth behind the plague. The expansion introduces the monastery as a new explorable location, complete with its own inhabitants, secrets, and gradually unlocked areas.
Alongside the narrative, Mysteria Ecclesiae adds fresh gameplay elements, including a new outfit, weapon, potions, and books to further develop Henry’s skills. The expansion is priced at £11.49, though owners of the Kingdom Come: Deliverance II Gold Edition or Expansion Pass will receive it at no additional cost.

At the time, I was excited to play it and to see what the studio was building in this space-faring adventure. I picked up my copy right at launch, and thought, like many others, that it got off to a great start. It was funny, the world felt interesting, and I liked the game's premise.

It has been clear over the past two years that Microsoft is looking to squeeze more profit out of Xbox, leading to a long list of game cancellations, studio closures and thousands of layoffs. This week, new details on Microsoft's business plans came to light, with the company setting what appears to be an unrealistic profit target for the Xbox division.
Bloomberg's Jason Schreier has heard from multiple sources familiar with Microsoft's strategy, who have stated that the company has set a massive 30% profit margin target for the Xbox division. The problem? This is significantly higher than the industry average, with S&P Global Market Intelligence estimating that the average profit margin across the games industry falls between 17% and 22%. One analyst told the outlet that a “30% or better margin is usually reserved for a publisher that is really nailing it”.
This unrealistic target is believed to be the core reason behind the recent rounds of studio closures, game cancellations and price hikes.
There is a bit more to the story though, as Game Pass also plays a crucial role here. Games that release day-one on Game Pass typically see less store sales. Microsoft accounts for this with its internal studios by using a weighted calculation that takes in factors such as ‘hours played' on Game Pass. This formula is something that can unfairly punish single-player games that have limited replay value and encourages studios to focus more on titles that keep players engaged for longer periods of time, like multiplayer live-service games.
Moving forward, the report claims that Xbox will be focusing more on games that are either cheap to make or deemed more likely to drive significant revenue.
KitGuru Says: Given this current financial situation over at Xbox, I have real concern for some of the smaller teams that Xbox acquired, like Double Fine and Compulsion Games.

Alongside a total global count of more than 80 million units sold, the PS5 (in the US) has already surpassed the PS3 sales-wise in the region.
As reported by industry analyst Mat Piscatella via the ‘InstallBaseForum’, total console sales for the PlayStation 5 have officially surpassed the PS3’s 26.7 million units in the US.
While an impressive achievement regardless, it is worth noting that the US was primarily served by the Xbox 360 during the 7th-generation of consoles. That said, unlike the PlayStation 3 – which received many price cuts over its life – the PS5 has only gone up in cost over the years.
Globally, the PS5 still has a slight journey to surpass its predecessor, with Sony’s latest and greatest currently sitting at 80.3 million units compared to the PS3’s 87.4 million.
With the PS5 still having a couple solid years left in it however, expect the PS3 to be surpassed globally sometime in the coming months.

The 5K professional monitor market is expanding, with more and more options landing at increasingly affordable prices. We reviewed ASUS' ProArt PA27JCV last year and today our attention turns to the Philips Brilliance 27E3U7903. Packing a 5120×2880 IPS panel with glass finish, this monitor also boasts Thunderbolt 4 support, a 5MP integrated webcam and comes Calman Ready.
5K monitors remain incredibly popular for Mac users, and it seems manufacturers have identified that not everyone with a MacBook or Mac Mini/Studio wants to shell out another £1500 minimum for the Apple Studio Display. The Philips Brilliance 27E3U7903 offers the same 5K resolution and 27in form factor but has an MSRP of just £849. It's still very expensive, but it could be an enticing proposition for a number of professional users. And of course it's not limited to only Mac users!

Firmware tested: V1.02

After a great deal of post-launch support, its sequel is finally here. Like with the first game, the team at FuturLab have promised a mixture of free and paid DLC – officially sharing their 2025/2026 roadmap.
Taking to BlueSky, the team at FuturLab officially detailed their post-launch plans for PowerWash Simulator 2. While the rest of 2025 will see the team focus on introducing “fixes, further optimisations and QOL improvements,” 2026 is when the real post-launch support begins.
Like with the first game, PowerWash Simulator 2 will receive a mixture of both free and paid DLC. On the paid front, players can look forward to 3 separate crossover DLCs – coming in Q1, Q2 and Q3 respectively. Alongside these, each quarter will also see a free DLC released in the form of the ‘Caldera Chronicles Jobs’.
Beyond this, the team have also promised a ton of other free updates, namely:
The original PowerWash Simulator was a fun and satisfying time which only improved as more free and paid DLC was released. Hopefully its successor manages to maintain the same level of quality and post-launch support.

Available right now, the latest ‘Breach’ update introduces a new expedition, an expansion to the game’s ship building mechanics and more.
Making the announcement on their blog, Sean Murray and the team at Hello Games wrote: “Our update for Halloween is called Breach, and it leans into the thrill of custom ship assembly, space-walking, skydiving, and community spirit introduced in Voyagers.”
While a much smaller update when compared to the aforementioned Voyagers, this free content drop still offers plenty to explore and enjoy, including:
With this patch primarily focused on the latest community expedition, the Breach update is far from the game’s biggest. Even so, there are plenty of new features and functionality to get stuck into – making what is in many ways the perfect ‘casual’ space game even more enjoyable.
KitGuru says: Will you be hopping back into No Man’s Sky? Is there anything missing from the game which you’d like to see introduced in the future? Let us know down below.

Just one month following the official launch of Sonic Racing Crossworlds, the game has sold over 1 million copies.
As reported by the publication Gematsu, Sonic Racing Crossworlds has managed to sell over 1 million units since its launch in late September. Alongside this, the publisher also released some player stats, revealing that so far over 74 million races have taken place; 31.5 million Grands Prix have been completed and more than 13 million ranked matches have occurred in total.
Despite being a massive part of the history of video games, Sonic titles in general are not massive sellers (especially compared to Mario), with the highly-successful Sonic Frontiers from 2022 having reached around 4.5 million copies as of 2025.
In addition, Sonic Racing Crossworlds is the first Sonic title to have retailed for $70 – and given that the game has only been out for a month – there have yet to be any sales or discounts.
As mentioned, Sonic Racing Crossworlds will likely never reach the highs of even the lowest-selling Mario Kart title. Still, its success is notable and will hopefully mean that SEGA has an incentive to continue supporting the game for the long-term – perhaps even beyond its previously-stated DLC plans.
