Capcom has had a major hit each year since 2017 with Resident Evil 7 and they've shown no signs of slowing down. Capcom kicked off 2025 with the launch of Monster Hunter Wilds, and it has followed that up with major reveals for Resident Evil Requiem and a brand new IP, Pragmata. 

In recent months, Capcom has shown new trailers for both Pragmata and Resident Evil Requiem, but the publisher is not done for the year yet. Capcom will be hosting the Capcom Spotlight showcase next week, a 40-minute stream containing new information on new upcoming releases and DLC updates for currently available titles.

Resident Evil Requiem and Pragmata will be the new games being shown during the stream. On top of that, we'll be getting news on the latest updates for Monster Hunter Wilds and Street Fighter 6.

KitGuru Says: Resident Evil Requiem is due to launch in February, so we should be getting a lot of new information about the game in the months ahead.

Gears of War: Reloaded is launching very soon. To ensure the game's multiplayer servers and crossplay functionality are all working correctly, a playtest did take place last weekend, but many encountered issues. As a result, a second playtest weekend is now coming up. 

The Coalition and Microsoft have confirmed that a new multiplayer beta test for Gears of War: Reloaded will now take place on the 20th of June until the 23rd of June. Servers will open up at 8PM tomorrow night in the UK. Adjust for your local time zone, as the servers will be opening up in all regions at the same time.

The Gears of War beta contains five maps and three game modes – Team Deathmatch, King of the Hill and Execution. The final version of the game will include a bit more multiplayer content, but the multiplayer in Gears of War 1 wasn't a huge feature to begin with.

Gears of War Reloaded is a newly packaged version of the Gears of War Ultimate Edition remaster from 2015. The new version brings the game to Xbox Series X/S, PC (via Steam and Game Pass) and for the very first time, PlayStation consoles.

KitGuru Says: Are you planning on picking up Gears of War Reloaded when it launches in August?

EA's Skate games were a staple of the Xbox 360 era. A few years ago, EA announced its return after more than a decade. The game has been in open development since, with frequent playtests being held. Now, the latest version of Skate is just a few months away from hitting the market. 

Skate will soon become available to all. The game is set to have one last massive playtest in July and EA has stated that anyone who registers in time will be accepted to participate. Playtests for Skate have also expanded to consoles now as well, and it will be available on consoles alongside PC at release too.

To get into the final playtest you'll need to register as a Skate Insider before the 27th of June, so there is still plenty of time left at the time of writing.

Skate is an open world multiplayer skating simulator where players can customise their characters and group up at parks and compete in challenges across the map. There will be around 150 players per server, so there will always be plenty of activity around you, helping the game feel more alive.

The final version of Skate will be available ‘in a few months' time' according to EA. the game is expected to be free to play, supported by various cosmetic microtransactions.

KitGuru Says: Are you planning on downloading the latest version of Skate when it becomes available? It looks like it'll be competing head to head with Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4, although it is worth noting that the strength of EA's version is in its massively multiplayer element.

Beat Saber took the VR world by storm when it officially launched back in 2019. In the years since, the game has sold millions of copies; released a ton of free (and paid DLC); and been ported to pretty much every VR capable device. Unfortunately, after years of support, Beat Saber is officially being discontinued on PlayStation VR / PSVR2.

Making the surprise announcement, the team at Beat Games shared the following statement:

“As we look to the future and plan the next big leap for Beat Saber, we have made the decision to no longer release updates for PS4 and PS5 starting in June 2025. Our passion for VR remains unwavering. We are excited about the possibilities that lie ahead and what we can bring to Beat Saber fans who have been on this journey with us over the past 7 years.”

While Beat Saber and all of its DLC packs will remain available to purchase and play, as of the 18th of June the game will no longer receive any future content updates.

Perhaps even more disappointing is the fact that come the 21st of January 2026, multiplayer will no longer be accessible on PSVR / PSVR2.

Beat Saber remains one of the biggest VR games on PlayStation and so the decision to end support is curious and unfortunate to see.

KitGuru says: Are you surprised by this announcement? What do you think this means for all the other versions in the near future? Let us know down below.

Last month, SEGA officially announced that they would be delisting a majority of their mobile ports of old-school classics. In a bittersweet move, ahead of the titles’ removal from storefronts, SEGA has made all of the games free to purchase.

SEGA pushed an update to many of its ‘classics’ on mobile last month with a message stating that “Support for this game will be discontinued, but you can continue playing offline!”

The list of impacted titles included:

• Crazy Taxi
• Golden Axe
• Shining Force
• Sonic CD
• Sonic 4 Ep. II
• Streets of Rage 1 & 2
• Super Monkey Ball: Sakura
• Virtual Tennis Challenge

These games are set to join the list of other SEGA classics which were discontinued back in 2023 (including the likes of Ristar; Vectorman; Comix Zone and a dozen more).

In a welcome move, all of the titles listed above have now been made free to claim and download ahead of their delisting. This means that you should be able to redownload the titles whenever, even after the fact.

That said, as iOS and Android devices get updated over time, API requirements change, and so eventually these titles will likely no longer work.

With no exact date for when the titles will be removed, make sure to ‘purchase’ any games which you plan to play as soon as possible.

KitGuru says: Why do you think the games are being delisted? Is SEGA planning some new type of service? Let us know your thoughts down below.

Back in late 2022, Konami officially announced a ton of different Silent Hill projects, including the Silent Hill 2 Remake from Bloober Team. In the years since, many of these announcements have come to fruition; most notably the highly successful SH2 Remake. One project which we haven’t heard from in a while however is the ‘Return to Silent Hill’ film. Finally, the upcoming horror title has gotten a massive update – with the adaptation officially set to arrive in January of next year.

As reported by Deadline, Return to Silent Hill is officially coming to cinemas on the 23rd of January 2026. This marks the first major update since early 2023, when the project confirmed a number of details including its plot, cast and more.

For the uninitiated, Return to Silent Hill is an adaptation of Silent Hill 2 and is being directed by Christophe Gans who helmed the very first Silent Hill film all the way back in 2006.

The upcoming movie’s description reads as follows:

“The film will follow James (Irvine), a man broken after being separated from his one true love (Anderson). When a mysterious letter calls him back to Silent Hill in search of her, he finds a once-recognizable town transformed by an unknown evil. As James descends deeper into the darkness, he encounters terrifying figures both familiar and new and begins to question his own sanity as he struggles to make sense of reality and hold on long enough to save his lost love.”

KitGuru says: Are you looking forward to the film? Will it do the original game justice? What did you think of the 2006 adaptation? Let us know down below.

Late last year, PC platform holder GOG announced that they were setting up a new game preservation program. In the months since, the initiative has seen a consistent influx of games being preserved for generations to come. As part of the service’s latest update, over a dozen titles are joining GOG’s preservation program – including Mortal Kombat, Devil May Cry and more.

Taking to their blog to make the announcement, the GOG Game Preservation team unveiled the latest line-up of inductees into the program, writing:

“We’re thrilled to welcome Devil May Cry 4: Special Edition and Devil May Cry HD Collection to both the GOG catalog and the GOG Preservation Program, fully DRM-free and ready to be played in their best form forever. The timing of this double arrival is perfect, as Devil May Cry 4: Special Edition is celebrating its 10th anniversary!”

Beyond DMC however, a solid dozen other titles have also joined the program, namely:

• Leisure Suit Larry: Reloaded
• Voyage: Journey to the Moon
• Star Wars Rebellion
• Tex Murphy: The Pandora Directive
• Populous
• Mortal Kombat 1+2+3
• Star Trek: Judgment Rites
• Magic Carpet 2: The Netherworlds
• Castles + Castles 2
• Earthworm Jim 2
• Imperium Galactica

Full details on how each game has been adjusted in order to remain playable into the future can be found on their respective store pages. In terms of DMC however, the HD Trilogy and Devil May Cry 4 have had their stability “validated;” added support for cloud saves and “Verified compatibility with Windows 10 and 11”.

The complete list of games available as part of the GOG Preservation Program can be found HERE.

Earlier this year, a rumour popped up claiming that God of War was set to receive a surprise spin-off title some time in 2025. Things then began to heat up when it was stated that the game would be a 2.5D metroidvania-styled experience. With Summer Game Fest having come and gone with no announcement, leakers are now claiming that the title has been pushed back to 2026.

As reported by known industry insider Jeff Grubb during the ‘Last of the Nintendogs’ podcast, the 2.5D God of War spin-off (which was originally claimed to be coming in 2025 in alignment with the franchise’s 20th anniversary), has seemingly been internally delayed, stating: “the unannounced new God of War Greek project…was pushed to 2026.”

For the uninitiated, this project is rumoured to be a 2.5D spin-off which is set in Greece and while being “much smaller in scale” will offer metroidvania-styled gameplay – an entirely new concept for the series.

Since 2005, the God of War franchise has remained mostly static in its presentation and genre – with the original trilogy and its spin-offs being hack and slash spectacle fighters with a slight emphasis on puzzles and platforming.

Of course, we’ve since gotten the God of War soft ‘reboot’ in 2018 followed by Ragnarok in 2022 – both being over-the-shoulder action-adventure oriented titles with a more Souls-like inspired combat alongside RPG elements.

As such, having a spin-off which is not only different in presentation, but genre to all prior God of War titles could make for a rather surprising and unexpected hit – if done well. Hopefully we at least get official confirmation of the game sooner rather than later.

KitGuru says: Are you looking forward to this rumoured spin-off? Could a metroidvania God of War work? Do you think the game will be set in the past or during the current GoW timeline? Let us know down below.

The video games industry is bigger than it's ever been, with the Nintendo Switch becoming one of the best selling consoles of all time and the PS5 currently outpacing the PS4 despite supply setbacks. Even so, it is surprising to see just how lucrative the current generation has been for Sony, with the PS5 having generated more profit than all previous PlayStation consoles combined.

As reported by industry analyst Daniel Ahmad, during Sony’s most recent Business Segment Meeting the company revealed that so far the PlayStation 5 generation has ‘generated’ over $13 billion in profits across its hardware and software.

While an impressive figure in its own right, what is perhaps even more interesting is the fact that this represents more profit than Sony’s previous four home console generations combined – with profits for the prior systems being as follows:

• PS1: $3 Billion
• PS2: $2 Billion
• PS3: -$4 Billion
• PS4: $9 Billion

Of course, this isn’t too surprising when considering the fact that the 8th/9th generations have witnessed the rise of multiplayer live service games and ‘micro’ transactions – both of which generate a significant portion of PlayStation’s profits.

In addition, the rise of digital media means that the costs of selling and distributing games has become exponentially cheaper to operate.

Tie this in with the general growth of the industry and it begins to make sense as to how this generation has already surpassed all others combined. It’ll be curious to see just how much profit the PS5 will have made when all is said and done.

KitGuru says: Are you surprised by these numbers? Will the PS5 break $20 billion? Let us know down below.

As part of its iconic "Shot on iPhone" campaign, Apple has released yet another short film, called "Big Man," featuring UK rapper Michael "Stormzy" Omari.


The short film, which debuted on Wednesday, sees Stormzy in the role of a world-weary musician who hasn't made any music in nearly eight years. Stormzy's character, Tenzman, runs into two bright and joyful kids, and the trio embarks on a life-changing journey, which ends with Tenzman making new music.

"Big Man" has a runtime of just under 20 minutes, and the short film was directed by Aneil Karia. The London-based writer and director is known for his work on Beat, Surge, and The Long Goodbye. Karia also makes an appearance in Apple's behind-the-scenes video for "Big Man," where the director outlines the advantages of using the iPhone 16 Pro for the project.

Launched in late 2020, Apple One became an essential collection of services if you're highly enmeshed in the Apple ecosystem. With the fifth anniversary a short few months away, it is a collection that still offers a compelling bundle, to the right customer.

However, as an all-in-one service covering multiple areas, it's not necessarily going to cover everyone's needs. In some cases, a person may find more worth in getting separate subscriptions instead of a package.

In the latest chapter of the ongoing saga, the iPhone Fold is now rumored to be entering mass production in 2026, with pre-production steps starting in late 2025.


The process to design and manufacture an iPhone is phenomenally long, and it appears to be the same for the iPhone Fold. According to one analyst, it could take close to a year for the manufacturing process to be finalized.

In a Wednesday X post by Ming-Chi Kuo of TF Securities, Foxconn will be kicking off a project to produce Apple's first foldable smartphone in late Q3 or early Q4 of 2025. This puts the start of the project at around the time the iPhone 17 will hit store shelves.

Gamdias has announced the launch of the Athena P3, its latest mid-tower chassis crafted for gamers and PC enthusiasts. This case is engineered to deliver good airflow and extensive hardware compatibility. It features a mesh-dominant front panel accented by two solid bars, contributing to a streamlined and aggressive aesthetic and ensuring system ventilation.

The Athena P3 has three 140mm PWM ARGB intake fans at the front and a single 140mm PWM ARGB exhaust fan at the rear, positioned to create optimal airflow paths. An interesting design element is the gap-bridging front bracket, engineered to eliminate airflow gaps between the mesh panel and the fan mounts. This ensures a consistent and concentrated stream of cooling air.

For ease of control, the case integrates an 8-port PWM ARGB hub, allowing users to manage fan speeds and lighting effects through motherboard synchronisation or a dedicated LED button. A tempered glass side panel offers a clear, unobstructed view of the internal components.

This case also features a high-speed USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 connector on the top I/O panel, two USB-A 3.0 ports, an LED control button, and HD audio jacks. The chassis can house E-ATX motherboards, graphics cards up to a generous 430mm in length, and power supplies up to 220 mm. As for liquid cooling components, the case offers radiator mounting options, supporting up to a 360/420mm radiator at the front and a 280/360mm radiator at the top. The front and top panels also provide space for three 140/120mm fans, with additional mounting positions on the bottom for 140/120mm fans.

Sharkoon has unveiled the Skiller SGK50 S4 Gen 2 keyboards. Building on the strengths of its predecessor, the Gen 2 models now offer extensive hot-swap capabilities, alongside the sleek aesthetic of a coiled cable. Enthusiasts will be particularly pleased with the ability to fully customise the keyboard using open-source software like VIA and QMK, while internal enhancements such as a polycarbonate plate and double-layer silicone dampening promise an improved acoustic profile.

The Skiller SGK50 S4 Gen 2 arrives with gaming performance firmly in mind, featuring pre-installed Gateron Yellow linear switches. Moreover, this new version offers more versatility, as it supports any 3-pin or 5-pin mechanical switch, allowing users to experiment and fine-tune their typing experience. Sharkoon even includes the necessary hot-swapping tools right in the box. The keyboard maintains its 60% compact form factor yet retains full functionality through clever key assignment for essential commands. While the Skiller SGK50 S4 traditionally allowed for quick, on-the-fly adjustments without software, the Gen 2 models now push it to the next level thanks to open-source technologies such as VIA and QMK.

A considerable focus has been placed on the keyboard's auditory experience. The Gen 2 version uses a polycarbonate positioning plate and double-layer silicone damping, creating a deeper, more satisfying typing sound that elevates the overall feel. As with all keyboards in the SGK50 series, the S4 Gen 2 features a detachable coiled cable with a USB-C to USB-A connector, adding a touch of sophisticated flair to any desk setup.

Beyond its modern design, compact form factor, and vibrant RGB illumination, the Skiller SGK50 S4 Gen 2 PBT variant comes equipped with the latest linear switches from Gateron and durable, abrasion-resistant PBT keycaps. Moreover, Sharkoon offers the Skiller SGK50 S4 Gen 2 barebone keyboard for those planning to personalise and optimise every aspect of their typing experience from the ground up. The Skiller SGK50 S4 Gen 2 keyboards are now available in black and white. The standard model costs €69.90, the PBT keycap variant goes for €79.90, and the barebone edition is €49.90.

Supergiant has been hard at work on Hades 2 over the past year. The game's early access period is finally starting to wind down, with the studio putting the finishing touches on the game for PC players, opening the door for an eventual console release.

In the latest Early Access update post, Supergiant confirmed that it is approaching the end of the road and will soon reach Version 1.0 for Hades 2: “After more than a year of Early Access development, we're now starting to prepare for our v1.0 launch! We're heading into the final phase of Hades II development, which involves adding the story's true ending and other finishing touches.”

The game's true ending, in-game achievements and final art will all be put in place for the V1.0 launch. There is no release date yet, but the full game should land on PC this year. As for the console version, Hades 2 is set to be a Switch 2 console exclusive at launch, with PlayStation and Xbox versions to land at a later date.

All of this news follows the release of The Unseen update for Hades 2. This is the third major early access content update for the game. With the way things are going, it may also be the last major update for the game before leaving Early Access.

Discuss on our Facebook page, HERE.

KitGuru Says: Based on the early access reviews, Hades 2 is already a great sequel. It will be interesting to see what the wider audience thinks, as there will be plenty of players waiting for the game to exit Early Access before jumping in.

At the Xbox Games Showcase last week, Microsoft announced its collaborative PC handheld, the ROG Xbox Ally. Now in a new video shared this week, Xbox president, Sarah Bond, teased the future via a continued partnership with AMD on chips. 

In an update video this week, Bond confirmed that Xbox will once again be partnering with AMD for its next generation Xbox systems. Microsoft first began using AMD APUs in its consoles with the Xbox One, and that partnership has continued with the Xbox Series X/S consoles. The next generation Xbox, which is anticipated to launch by 2028, will also use an AMD chip at the heart of the console.

This new multi-year agreement with AMD may also extend to handhelds. For now, Microsoft is licensing out the Xbox brand to third-parties like Asus to produce handheld systems. However, Microsoft is said to be interested in making its own handheld gaming system, so we may see a custom designed chip for the first-party Xbox handheld.

Sony is also rumoured to be working with AMD on its own next-generation PlayStation console.

Earlier this year, Warner Bros made the shocking decision to shut down Monolith Productions, the studio behind the patented ‘Nemesis' system, as well as massive single-player hits like Lord of the Rings: Shadow of Mordor and F.E.A.R. Now, more changes have been announced for the WB Games division, with the company splitting up into a number of divisions. 

WB Games will now double down on its biggest franchises. The publisher is being split up into four divisions to oversee different franchises. One will oversee DC Universe projects, another will focus on Mortal Kombat, another on Harry Potter and a fourth division will lead work on Game of Thrones video games, of which there are surprisingly few on the market.

As you would expect, NetherRealm will fall into the Mortal Kombat division, while Rocksteady will continue to be heavily involved with DC. PortKey Games (Hogwarts Legacy) will be at the Harry Potter division. It is unclear if there is any true creative force behind the new ‘Game of Thrones' division at this stage.

This is all part of a larger restructuring going on at Warner Bros. Discovery. The newly merged company is now splitting up across the board with new divisions focused on streaming, traditional network TV and other key areas of focus.

AMD has unveiled the Ryzen Threadripper 9000 series and the Radeon AI Pro 9000 GPU series. These launches address a broad spectrum of use cases, from AI acceleration to professional applications.

As seen on the slides shared by TechPowerUp, the new Threadripper 9000 series leverages the Zen 5 CPU architecture, with “Shimada Peak” specifically being a workstation-optimised variant of the “Turin” MCM that powers AMD's 5th Generation Epyc processors. Meanwhile, the Radeon AI Pro 9000 series harnesses the RDNA 4 graphics architecture found in the Radeon RX 9000 series gaming graphics cards, but adjusted for professional applications.

The Ryzen Threadripper Pro 9000 series pushes the envelope for CPU core counts, scaling up to 96 cores and 192 threads. The Ryzen Threadripper Pro 9000 series package is designed for the AMD Socket TR5, ensuring seamless drop-in compatibility with all existing TR5 motherboards, provided they are running the latest UEFI firmware updates. This new CPU platform offers an 8-channel DDR5 memory interface, effectively providing 16 sub-channels, with native support for ECC DDR5-6400 speeds. While RDIMMs are supported, the platform maintains a limit of one DIMM per channel, allowing a maximum memory capacity of 2 TB.

Regarding SoC I/O, the “Shimada Peak” processors have a 128-lane PCI-Express 5.0 root complex. However, unlike their EPYC counterparts, they do not include CXL capabilities. Nevertheless, architectural tweaks to the SoC result in a notable increase in aggregate PCIe bandwidth compared to its predecessors. Additional features include AMD PRO Management capabilities and AIM-T WLAN support. The Threadripper Pro 9000 WX series will offer a range of processor models, from a 12C/24T entry point to the 96C/192T flagship CPU. All SKUs within this Pro WX series will share a common I/O feature set and maintain a consistent 350W TDP.

This new generation promises a significant uplift in IPC, offering a noticeable performance leap over its Zen 4-powered predecessors. Beyond raw IPC gains, workstation users stand to benefit from the architecture's full 512-bit FPU datapath, which will dramatically accelerate applications reliant on the AVX-512 instruction set. AMD has also upgraded the I/O die to facilitate native DDR5-6400 memory speeds, alongside support for AMD EXPO profiles and CKD. Internally, AMD is touting a substantial 16% performance increase over the Threadripper 7000 series in standard workstation benchmarks, with an impressive 25% surge in SPEC Workstation AI and machine learning benchmarks compared to identical core counts and frequencies.

Alongside the Pro WX series, AMD introduced the Threadripper 9000X HEDT processors. These are tailored for HEDT systems and entry-level workstations. The primary distinction from the Pro 9000 WX series lies in the absence of AMD Pro capabilities and a trimmed I/O feature set. This includes a 4-channel (8 sub-channel) DDR5 memory interface and a more modest 48-lane PCI-Express 5.0 root complex. This HEDT lineup comprises just three SKUs, ranging from 24C/48T up to a potent 64C/128T option. These chips also maintain compatibility with Socket TR5 motherboards. However, half of the memory channels and some PCIe/NVMe slots will be blocked or modified.

Moving on to the GPUs, the new Radeon AI Pro 9000 series represents AMD's top-tier offerings for professional visualisation and AI acceleration. These graphics cards are designed to be deployed singularly or in workstations with up to four cards installed. The flagship of this series, the Radeon AI Pro R9700, features a maxed-out 4 nm “Navi 48” GPU, boasting 64 RDNA 4 CUs that translate to 4,096 stream processors and 128 AI accelerators, and 32GB GDDR6 running at 20Gbps over a 256-bit memory bus for a maximum of 640GB/s of bandwidth, further enhanced by a 64MB 3rd Generation Infinity Cache. Overall, the AMD Radeon AI Pro R9700 delivers up to 191 TFLOPS (FP16 dense) and a 1531 TOPS (INT4 sparse) performance with a 300W TBP.

Sega is about to drop support for a series of nine Sega games for the iPhone, with classics including "Crazy Taxi" and "Sonic the Hedgehog 4," but for now they remain free to download and play.


Back in 2017, Sega began issuing free but ad-supported versions of some classic games for iOS under the banner of "Sega Forever." Forever now seems to be about to end, though, as a series of titles have been made completely free — and have a warning about support coming to an end.

Sega has not officially announced this beyond the in-game notices, and there is as yet no detail about when support will end. It's not even clear whether the titles will remain on the App Store, but the warning notice suggests they won't.

A change in the display technology used in the iPhone 19 may mean that the screen uses less power, prolonging battery life for users.


The display is one of the components that consumes a high amount of power when used. As changes made to the display can greatly affect battery usage, Apple is keen to keep the screen as power-efficient as possible.

The current iPhone 16 Pro models use a low-temperature polycrystalline oxide (LTPO) OLED display, which is designed to conserve power. However, a tweak to the design will help cut its power draw down more.

Big Tech companies including Amazon, Meta, Google, and Microsoft — but not Apple — are lobbying to block US states for forming any AI regulation for the next decade.


The lobbying is being done by trade body Incompas, on behalf of its members, which include major technology firms as well as energy and law firms. Apple is not a member, but it has previously lobbied against similar AI regulation plans in Europe.

According to the Financial Times, none of the four Big Tech firms would comment on the lobbying. But Incompas CEO and former congressman Chip Pickering argues that preventing differing and conflicting AI regulation across the US is essential.

The Final Fantasy franchise is easily an icon in the gaming space, with 1997’s Final Fantasy VII in particular being viewed as one of the most important titles of all time. Despite the reverence for this classic, in the nearly 30 years since its release, the OG Final Fantasy VII has ‘only’ sold 15 million units.

As part of a recent press release detailing the upcoming arrival of Final Fantasy XVI and FFVII Remake to Xbox, Square Enix offered a surprise update on the original Final Fantasy VII from 1997, writing:

“Since [1997], the game revolving around iconic hero, Cloud Strife and his pursuit of the antagonist Sephiroth has sold over 15.1 million copies worldwide and continues to receive widespread acclaim from critics and fans around the world.”

While 15 million copies is nothing to sniff at, the fact that one of the most iconic video games of all time has been outsold by countless indie titles in mere months is indicative of just how much the games industry has grown over the past few decades.

It will be interesting to see whether the FFVII Remake manages to reach 15 million in due time.

Of all the classic PlayStation One mascot platformers, Gex is likely one of the least known. Developed by Crystal Dynamics, the trilogy released between 1995 and 1999 and is perhaps best known for its use of different voice actors for its UK and US releases. As part of the recent re-release of the trilogy via LimitedRunGames, an update is slated to add options for both PAL and NTSC audio.

Taking to BlueSky, the official LimitedRunGames page shared the following: “Thank you for making the launch of GEX Trilogy a huge success! It’s been in the works for a while and we’re finally able to announce that the PAL versions of GEX 2 & GEX 3, featuring the voices of Leslie Philips and Danny John-Jules, respectively, will be added in an update!”

Fortunately, fans don’t have to wait long, as the update has already been pushed to Steam, with other platforms said to be following suit “once the patch has completed certification.”

For the uninitiated, the NTSC and PAL versions of Gex differed in multiple ways – not just with the voice actors. Much of the game’s dialogue and writing was also changed, with many of the jokes being adapted to suit each respective region.

As such, having the PAL versions of Gex being made available alongside the NTSC release is welcome to see and makes this trilogy feel like much more of a complete package.

Each month, Sony updates its PlayStation Plus Extra/Premium libraries with a number of new and returning titles. Unfortunately, at the same time the company also removes games from the service on a monthly basis. With June’s titles now available to download and play, the console maker has announced half a dozen games which are set to leave PS Plus Extra / Premium in July.

In going to the Last chance to play section on the PlayStation 5’s PS Plus tab, subscribers can find a list of 6 titles which are set to be removed from the service next month (likely mid-July):

• Dying Light 2
• Remnant 2
• Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion
• Mount & Blade 2
• Job Simulator
• Vampire: The Masquerade Swansong

Given the relative lack of PSVR titles on PlayStation Plus Extra/Premium, the removal of Job Simulator is disappointing to see.

Of course, beyond that you’ve got Techland’s open-world first-person parkour zombie title Dying Light 2; the co-op focused souls-like with guns Remnant 2 and the current-gen remake of the PSP classic Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion.

While no exact date has been given for their removal, based on previous months, the games above will likely leave PS Plus some time during mid-July – meaning you still have a bit of time to give some of these games a go. That said, with many of these games offering dozens of hours worth of gameplay, you may have to pick and choose, unfortunately.

Bungie has been quiet on the subject of Marathon since the game's alpha ended earlier this year. The game had been on track for a September launch but today, Sony and Bungie made the surprise announcement that the game has been delayed indefinitely. 

Marathon has been delayed and currently, the game does not have a new release date. Bungie has outlined some key areas of focus for this extra development time, including enhanced visuals, more challenging AI encounters, more dynamic events, proximity chat and actual story content.

This marks a notable shift in strategy. Last year, Concord suffered from negative feedback during its playtests, but rather than delaying the game and making changes, the game was forced to release in August as originally planned. Ultimately, the game flopped and Sony pulled it from sale, before shutting down the studio entirely.

Bungie needs Marathon to be a hit and Sony also needs one of its live service bets to pay off after multiple years of failure. Marathon does not have a new release date yet, but the check list of issues to be addressed before launch reads like a wishlist based on alpha feedback. When Marathon returns, it should be a better, more interesting game.

Discuss on our Facebook page, HERE.

KitGuru Says: It sounds like we won't be seeing Marathon again until 2026. if Bungie makes good use of this extra time, Marathon should be a much better game when it is next revealed.

The biggest announcement at Microsoft’s recent Xbox Games Showcase was the official unveiling of its ROG Xbox Ally handhelds. That said, aside from a vague release window of later this year, no proper timeline has been shared. According to multiple insiders however, the Xbox Ally is “tentatively” slated to launch in late October – though apparently no prices have been finalised.

Recently, known industry leaker Extas1s claimed that the upcoming ROG Xbox Ally is currently set to launch this October – with the lower-powered Xbox Ally costing $499 and the more premium Ally X going for $799.

Following this, WindowsCentral’s Jez Corden clarified some of the details, stating that while they too have heard that Xbox plans to launch the handhelds in October (specifically later in the month), “Microsoft hasn't yet fully committed to a price point.”

Unlike most video game consoles, the more open nature of the Xbox Ally’s OS means that users aren’t tied down to a single storefront. As such, there is little reason for Microsoft to subsidise the cost of the ROG handhelds.

That said, considering the ‘last-gen’ ROG Ally X costs $899, Microsoft may try to shave a couple dollars off if they wish for their handhelds to be more than an extreme niche. We will have to wait and see.

Fresh details surfaced regarding Intel's Nova Lake-S processor series, painting a clearer picture of what to expect from the company's next-generation desktop processors. While the official name remains unknown, the flagship model is rumoured to pack a significant punch with a whopping 52 cores: 16 P-cores, 32 E-cores, and 4 LP-cores.

Beyond the flagship, and according to chi11eddog, Intel is also reportedly developing a Core Ultra 7 SKU with a 14P+24E configuration, alongside various Core Ultra 5 options featuring 8P+16E, 8P+12E, and 6P+8E configs. The entry-level Core Ultra 3 lineup is expected to include 4P+8E and 4P+4E variants. Note that all desktop SKUs are projected to incorporate four P-Cores. This means the Nova Lake-S series could span a wide range of core counts, from 12 to 52, depending on which configurations Intel rolls out for consumers.

The table below shows the processors in more detail:

Processor	Cores	TDP
Core Ultra 9	52 (16x P + 32 E + 4 LP)	150W
Core Ultra 7	42 (14x P + 24 E + 4 LP)	150W
Core Ultra 5	28 (8x P + 16 E + 4 LP)	125W
Core Ultra 5	24 (8x P + 12 E + 4 LP)	125W
Core Ultra 5	18 (6x P + 8 E + 4 LP)	125W
Core Ultra 3	16 (4x P + 8 E + 4 LP)	65W
Core Ultra 3	12 (4x P + 4 E + 4 LP)	65W

Jaykihn also stated that this next-generation series will support faster memory speeds right out of the box. While the current Arrow Lake-S series officially supports DDR5-6400 memory and can be overclocked to 9200 MT/s, the upcoming desktop series is expected to default to 8000 MT/s. This applies to configurations using 1 DIMM per channel (1DPC) and single-rank memory. Whether this enhanced memory support is due to improvements in the CPU's integrated memory controllers or advancements in the new motherboard platforms remains unclear.

Intel Nova Lake-S, which will most likely be branded under the Core Ultra 300 series, is expected to launch next year.

GameMax has just unveiled two additions to its desktop case lineup: the Claw 360 and Claw 460. These new enclosures are aimed at gamers and creators looking for a distinctive aesthetic, uncompromising thermal performance, and robust, future-proof compatibility. Both models proudly sport GameMax's new identity, which is immediately noticeable through their aggressive, claw-inspired front panels, sculpted ventilation mesh, and the new brand logo. 

According to TechPowerUp, the Claw 360 is an mATX case built to accommodate the latest hardware, offering support for GPUs up to 420 mm in length. You'll find room for 240 mm ATX PSUs, air coolers up to 175 mm tall, and support for radiators up to 360 mm. Its internal layout is primed for outstanding cooling, supporting up to 12x 120-mm fans, with four pre-installed ARGB/PWM units wired directly to a built-in controller for illumination and speed management. The front I/O panel has a USB-C Gen 2 port and a USB 3.0 connector for connectivity. Moreover, an integrated, height-adjustable GPU support bracket prevents sag of the graphics card.

For those requiring maximum compatibility and expansion capabilities, the Claw 460 is a full-sized ATX case. It mirrors its smaller counterpart's GPU and PSU support, while extending compatibility to ATX motherboards. Like the Claw 360, it leverages a mesh front panel and a vertical airflow system to deliver consistent cooling even during intense periods of use. It can house 12x 120mm fans and has four pre-installed ARGB/PWM fans, complete with an integrated controller for customisable lighting and airflow. Connectivity on the front I/O panel is identical, offering a USB-C Gen 2 and two USB 3.0 ports. Like its compact sibling, the Claw 460 includes a height-adjustable GPU support bracket.

The more compact Claw 360 will hit the market first, with its full-sized sibling, the Claw 460, following suit next month. The Claw 360 will be available for $67.99 in black and $71.99 in white, while the larger Claw 460 will cost $77.99 in black and $81.99 in white.

Montech announced the launch of its latest air cooler series, the NX400. This new entry-level offering is poised to shake up the single-tower air cooling market, promising to redefine expectations for thermal regulation in its class, integrating a compact but dense heatsink and a newly engineered high-static pressure fan.

At the core of the NX400's cooling capabilities lies its enhanced heatsink, featuring 52 fins aligned with the heat pipes to optimise heat transfer. Further boosting its cooling prowess is the newly developed E28 fan. This 28-mm-thick, high-static-pressure fan has been specifically engineered for air cooling applications, ensuring powerful airflow while simultaneously minimising turbulence.

 

Available in both ARGB and non-ARGB variants, the NX400 coolers' fans come with premium corner-covered footpads that dampen vibration, ensuring stable operation and reducing noise. A sleek, glossy striped cover on the top of the cooler adds a clean finishing touch, enhancing visual appeal without dominating the overall aesthetic of the cooler and the build.

Montech designed the NX400 with broad compatibility in mind, ensuring it supports popular CPU platforms and is compatible with most PC cases. The standard version of the Montech NX400 is now available for $25.90, and the ARGB variant is priced at $29.90.

While other tech companies rush to dominate artificial intelligence with bold promises and uneven results, Apple is building something slower, quieter, and more durable.


Out of curiosity I tested Apple Intelligence using the new Shortcuts action in iOS 26. Apple mentioned this feature at WWDC 2025, but it didn't get much attention during the keynote.

The Shortcuts action gives users direct access to Apple's large language model. You can choose the smaller on-device version or the more capable cloud model running in Apple's private compute environment.

The annual Apple Back to School deals are live, but while free AirPods or Magic Keyboards are nice to get with purchase, you really should consider shopping around for better offers.


Apple's Back to School promotion for people in higher education has launched in the United States. Building on top of the usual special pricing for education users, the promotion offers a little bit extra for education users gearing up for the academic year ahead.

However, while the 2024 Back to School offers were gift cards, Apple is instead offering a selection of accessories to go with a selection of its products. Something that may not necessarily be that great a deal for consumers.

The Apple Original Film "F1 The Movie" used the iPhone in an unusual way, by using components typically used in the smartphone to create a custom camera.


The videography that goes into major films is often filled with custom tech, all to achieve the perfect shot the director wants. While the industry is very familiar with many different types of hardware, from modular cameras to action cams, one of the cameras used in "F1" relied a lot more on Apple's technology than normal.

Hinted at by CEO Tim Cook during a June 11 interview promoting the "F1" film for Apple TV+, the camera revealed by Wired is essentially an iPhone. Albeit one that has been heavily customized for the project.

After initially dismissing a proposed class action lawsuit over Apple's allegedly forcing users to use iCloud, a judge has now accepted further evidence and ruled that the case must continue.


Originally filed in March 2024, the class action complaint accused Apple of violations the Sherman Act and the Clayton act. The allegation is that Apple has established "an illegal monopoly" because of its requiring Apple device users to use its iCloud backup.

A year later in March 2025, US District Judge Eumi Lee in San Jose, California, dismissed the case. However, she allowed that the plaintiffs could file an amended case, and according to Reuters, they have now done so.

A Today at Apple session with the makers of Apple TV+ hit "Severance" was capped by a surprise visit from Tim Cook and Brad Pitt, as Apple's "F1" promotion tour continues to ramp up.


Despite spending a billion on films every year, Apple has been criticized for letting movies flop through a lack of marketing. There's no possibility of that criticism being repeated now, as the new Apple Original movie "F1" is practically being pushed as hard as a new iPhone.

The latest promotion was a special edition of the company's Today at Apple in-store workshops, this time at the New York Fifth Avenue Apple Store. Attendees turned up to hear from the cast and crew of "Severance."

A few weeks ago, Randy Pitchford caused quite the commotion thanks to his comments on the potential for Borderlands 4 to cost $80. After all of that, the game won't cost $80 after all.

Pre-orders for Borderlands 4 have now gone live. The standard version of the game will cost $69.99 on Xbox, PlayStation and Switch 2. On PC, the game is £59.99 via Steam in the UK. It is also worth noting that the Switch 2 version will not be available at launch on September 12th. The Switch 2 version does not currently have a release date.

Of course, there are pricey deluxe and collector's editions as well, which include extra cosmetic DLCs, but nothing particularly major. Currently there does not appear to be a ‘season pass' for the game, although paid DLCs are going to be available eventually.

Later down the line, Borderlands 4 will receive a mix of paid and free DLCs. New characters will likely be reserved for paid DLC, but exact details on post-launch content plans will arrive at a later date.

There are some great freebies to claim in June through Amazon Prime Gaming. From June 17th, those with an Amazon Prime subscription can claim DRM-free GOG codes for several classic games, including last year's Tomb Raider I-III Remaster. 

Today, six more free games are available to claim through Prime Gaming, all part of an increased effort ahead of Prime Day 2025. Tomb Raider I-III Remastered is the headlining game for me, and the second set of remasters, covering Tomb Raider IV-VI, is available to buy on the cheap, so you can easily complete your collection of classic Tomb Raider games.

The Tomb Raider remaster, TOEM, Star Wars: Rebellion, Saints Row 2 and Saints Row IV are all available to claim for your GOG account. For those who don't know, GOG is an independent digital game store that specialises in DRM-free games. It was initially started by the founders behind CD Projekt Red.

Dungeons of the Endless: Definitive Edition is also available to claim, but you'll need to access this title through the Amazon Games App.

BattleBit Remastered surprised many when it released back in 2023, offering a robust Battlefield-esque FPS experience with low-poly characters. Unfortunately, the game stopped receiving any updates over a year ago, leading many to believe it had been abandoned. In a welcome announcement, the BattleBit team have teased ‘Operation Overhaul’.

Releasing a brief teaser trailer to YouTube with the description simply reading “soon,” Operation Overhaul appears to be the long awaited update which BattleBit Remastered fans have been waiting for.

For context, BattleBit Remastered was released in Early Access back in 2023. Developed by a small team of three, the game saw near immediate success – selling almost two million copies in its first two weeks.

As mentioned however, the game had not seen any updates in over a year, leading many to fear it had been abandoned. The team did previously claim to be working on some pretty big changes, however the lack of news had led to BattleBit receiving a ‘Mostly Negative’ recent reception on Steam.

While there is no date given nor any proper details on what to expect, the fact that the long awaited overhaul is actually real and on its way could very well give BattleBit Remastered a second chance at life. We will have to wait and see.

Following a lengthy hiatus, the Crash Bandicoot series returned in 2017 with the PS4 remake of the OG Crash Bandicoot trilogy – which went on to sell over 20 million copies. In a similar vein, 2019’s Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled has reached a milestone of its own: officially selling over 10 million copies.

Making the announcement on its socials, the official Crash Bandicoot page wrote: “BOO-YAH! This one calls for a victory lap” alongside an image revealing that Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled has officially “sold through” 10 million units globally.

Considering the fact that Nitro-Fueled is a remake of the 1999 PSOne classic, 10 million units is a major achievement – especially as the game never made its way to PC for whatever reason; stuck on the PS4, Xbox One and Switch.

As mentioned, since the revival of Crash Bandicoot back in 2017, we’ve seen a decent number of games released, with 2019’s Crash Team Racing being followed up by Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time in 2020; Crash Bandicoot: On the Run (for mobile) in 2021 and most recently Crash Team Rumble back in 2023.

Of these titles, only the N.Sane Trilogy and Nitro-Fueled have had any sales data shared, and so it is safe to assume that CTR represents the second best-selling Crash title since the franchise’s revival.

Given the fact that Crash remakes seem to perform significantly better than original releases, it will be interesting to see where the series goes from here.

Remedy Entertainment is a development studio that doesn't need any introduction. The Finnish developer has been around for a very long time, and in the long years of activity, it has released some incredible games that have etched themselves in the minds of those who experienced them, like the first two entries in the Max Payne series, the two entries in the Alan Wake series and Control, the game which effectively kickstarted the Remedy Connected Universe that connects the latter two series, and who knows what else in the future. Following the release of the incredible Alan Wake 2, everyone expected […]

Stellar Blade launched last year on PS5 to a wave of success – receiving high praise across the board and selling a ton of copies to boot. Following a great deal of anticipation, the game finally launched on PC last week to almost 200,000 concurrent players. It therefore comes as little surprise that in just 3 days following its PC launch, Stellar Blade had already sold 1 million units on the platform.

Making the announcement via a press release (translated by ReserEra user Neha), Stellar Blade developers SHIFT UP confirmed that “Stellar Blade has surpassed 3 million units sold across all platforms” adding “This milestone was achieved 1 year and 2 months after the PS5 version was released in April of last year.”

More interesting however is the fact that of those 3 million, 1/3rd of the sales hailed from the PC platform in just 3 days.

Of course, Stellar Blade was both a financial and critical success upon its release on PS5 last year, and so the game had a solid 12 months to build excitement and anticipation for the PC release of what was by then a known quantity.

Still, the success of Stellar Blade on PC is notable, and hopefully means that the previously-confirmed sequel is afforded even more resources to ensure it’s just as great if not even better.

Back in 2020, Ubisoft officially announced and unveiled their remake of the classic Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. Initially planned to launch in early 2021, the game was delayed multiple times and even rebooted – changing development studios along the way. Following confirmation that the remake is slated to release some time during FY2025, Ubisoft has now teased the illusive title.

Taking to Twitter to offer a surprising update, the official Prince of Persia page shared the following: “Yep, we’re still deep in the game — exploring, building, and ensuring the sands move with purpose. This game is being crafted by a team that truly cares, and they're pouring their hearts (and a lot of coffee) into every step. Thank you for sticking with us.”

For context, the Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake was first announced back in Autumn 2020 with a January 2021 release date. Reactions towards the trailer were highly critical, leading Ubisoft to delay the title in December of 2020 to March 2021.

Cut to February of 2021 and the game was delayed again – this time with no updated release window. Since then, the game has been delayed a couple more times, changed studios and had its whole development rebooted; leading many to wonder whether the game would ever be released.

With the statement from Ubisoft earlier this year however that the title is planned to arrive during FY2025, and now a more direct update from the team itself, it looks like Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake could finally be reaching a stable enough position to show off.

Apple revealed a dramatic upgrade to Personas in visionOS 26 that makes them look much more realistic. Here's how they compare to the older versions.


When Apple first revealed Personas for Apple Vision Pro, they took on a somewhat blurred, stiff structure that struggled with detail. Beards and hair became flat, eyelashes disappeared, and expressions were limited.

Personas got an upgrade in visionOS 2 that provided more detail and expressions, which also included the Spatial Persona update, but it was an improvement of the same rather than a rethink. What Apple has created in visionOS 26 is a completely rebuilt experience that looks and feels more natural.

Chinese commerce giant Alibaba has unveiled a new version of its flagship Qwen3 AI model, now compatible with Apple's MLX architecture, signaling that the debut of Apple Intelligence in China is on the horizon.


While Apple Intelligence gained support for the simplified version of Chinese with iOS 18.4, Apple's generative AI features still have yet to debut in China itself. The country's unique regulatory requirements meant that Apple had to partner with a local company to release any AI features. Although the iPhone maker considered working with ByteDance and Baidu, Apple eventually went with Alibaba.

Now, a new statement by Alibaba on Monday suggests that Apple Intelligence is closer than ever to its China release. As noted by Reuters, Alibaba has launched an upgraded variant of its Qwen3 AI model, with compatibility for Apple's platforms, meaning it will run on the Neural Engine on Apple Silicon Macs, and Apple Intelligence-compatible iPhones and iPads.

Forget the lousy rates your favourite artist gets for every Spotify play; what about the possible disappointment you would feel finding out they don't even exist?  Spain's newspaper El Pais found…

Amazon's Eero routers offer mesh networking at a reasonable price, giving modern iPhone owners Wi-Fi 7 speed — and there are two higher-end options. Here's how the prosumer-grade Eero Pro 7 and Eero Max 7 compare on paper.


As the march of technology advancement continues at pace, it's fair to say that most people's home networks aren't great. With the increased use of mesh networks and newer Wi-Fi standards, the networks are getting faster with better coverage.

However, while people may be used to periodically replacing their iPhone or iPad with newer models, making changes to the home wireless network is a much rarer occasion. Many people seem happy to use whatever their internet provider installs, and barely has a need to replace their hardware otherwise.
