This year’s Next event, set for 21st August, will seemingly switch to being entirely online rather than in person; Activision referred to it as “a global event”. You can expect a developer briefing on what the show will feature, before it throws it to live gameplay from creators. This is not the only thing being
Wallhack (previously SkyPad, if you weren’t aware) has teased a gaming mouse that will be announced on July 24. This will be the company’s first gaming mouse, having previously stuck to high-performance mouse pads, sleeves, and skates. There must just be something irresistible about hot swappable batteries. This mouse looks to have them, as from
Steve Jobs had his turtlenecks, Jensen Huang has his iconic leather jackets. Well, one less of them now, anyway. Famous auctioneer Sotheby’s put one of Huang’s jackets up for auction over the weekend, with estimates placing the value between $40,000 to $60,000. However, the hammer price (after 65 bids) ended up being an astonishing $960,000—with
I like to imagine that, in thousands of years time, an alien species will land on the desert wasteland that was once Earth and begin combing through our digital records.

Streamer Uwos Lab built an entirely battery powered gaming PC over the course of a five-hour stream last week. The rules were simple: no laptops, and no lithium ion AA batteries. The build had to be a desktop that could play a game while only relying on battery power. The self-described ‘Mad-scientist streamer’ explained their
The PC hardware market right now is not a pretty sight, so it’s nice to hear one of the companies arguably at least in part responsible acknowledging how bad things are from a customer’s perspective. Even if that is taken with the giant pinch of salt considering it’s being approached from a business perspective, and
There are many things that I would do to my graphics card—undervolt it, treasure it, sing it lullabies—but I probably wouldn’t slap a gigantic heatsink on it just to eliminate the fan. Don’t get me wrong, passive cooling is nice, but I’m glad I don’t have to DIY it myself, creating the monstrosity I’ve just
Ayaneo said it was suspending pre-orders for its Next 2 gaming handheld earlier this year after rising storage costs and the ongoing memory crisis made it “no longer sustainable.” Well, it’s now listed on Ayaneo’s website—with an asking price for the top model of $5,299. I’ll wait for you to pick up your jaw. Back
As shared by the game’s official account on X (hat tip to VGC), Spain also emerged victorious in the simulations EA ran of every match in the group stages and knockout rounds. The prediction was initially shared on 6th June, and yesterday it became a tangible reality. “Congratulations on your second star,” EA’s account said
As developer Infinity Ward revealed prior to the event’s start, the demo was of the new Kill Block game mode, which dynamically creates maps from pre-set fabs based on Modern Warfare series maps, resulting in an ever-changing arena that reassembles itself after each two rounds. The concept of a Shipment-sized, ever-changing map is exciting on
