Today’s Xbox Developer Direct kicked off with the first look at gameplay for Forza Horizon 6. We got a look at the game’s cover cars, a breakdown of new customization features, and, of course, a glimpse into how much fun driving across the game’s rendition of Japan could be. The campaign sees players begin as a tourist who joins the Horizon festival and climb the ranks, a departure from previous entries where the player is already a relative superstar. You’ll still progress via the established wristband system, but Horizon 6 introduces a new method of progression called the Collection Journal. The…
Straight up, this move could turn the TV market inside out. TCL taking control of Sony’s TV division was a topic that no one had on their bingo cards.

While Game Freak is best known for its work on the Pokémon games (the series is so large that it’s hard to see how it wouldn’t be), it does develop other games from time to time. That said, Beast of Reincarnation, the studio’s upcoming post-apocalyptic action role-playing game, is a big swing even by the studio’s standards. After seeing the game in action during today’s Xbox Developer Direct, we got a much clearer vision of what to expect when it launches this summer.Set in Japan in the year 4026, Game Freak describes the game as a “one-person one-dog action RPG.”…

This post is brought to you in paid partnership with Hume We’ve discussed the Hume Band’s design ethos before; specifically, how its screen-free, fabric-wrapped profile respects your attention span. But for the man who treats his health as a long-term asset, the form factor is secondary to the data. While most wearables are content to tell you how many steps you took or how poorly you slept, Hume has positioned itself as something more sophisticated: a personal longevity coach. It focuses less on daily activity stats and more on the biological cost of that activity. The engine gauge: Metabolic Capacity…

Apple was also said to be preparing a higher-end version with a robotic arm, which could retail for around $1,000. Now, a recent…
