Opening the Amazon app, tapping the search bar, and finding a product by text or image search: this is how most of us have been using it. However, Amazon thinks that’s too many steps. The company has rolled out six new visual search features, one of them being the Amazon Lens widget for iPhone. It puts a camera shortcut directly on your iPhone’s lock screen, so you can point it at anything around you and the app finds it before you’ve unlocked the phone. How to add the Amazon Lens widget? Adding the widget is quite straightforward. When unlocked, press…
Remedy Entertainment released a new trailer for its upcoming action game, Control: Resonant, during yesterday’s PlayStation State of Play, revealing a September 24 release date with it. Shortly after, people noticed that the PlayStation Store listing for the Digital Deluxe Edition includes a Hiss Corruption Outfit, an Occult Outfit, the Pickpocket’s Tool Artifact, some other digital goodies, and 48-hour early access starting September 22. The trend of being able to pay more for a game to jump in a couple of days early is already disappointing and annoying, preying on the very-real FOMO some players experience in such an online connected…
Google’s latest Android feature drop isn’t just about AI tricks and visual upgrades. One of the most meaningful additions arriving soon is aimed squarely at family safety, bringing several Personal Safety app features to younger Android users for the first time. As part of the June Android Drop, Google says children under 13 will gain access to key emergency features that were previously geared toward older users. The update is designed to help parents feel more comfortable as kids become increasingly independent, whether they’re heading to school, visiting friends, or commuting with family. Turning Android phones into better emergency companions…
The Eternal Life of Goldman was announced last year and since then, we here at Game Informer have been keeping a close eye on it because, well, it’s beautiful. And if you missed out on the Steam Next Fest demo for it earlier this year, good news: a new demo featuring 90 minutes of gameplay for The Eternal Life of Goldman went live today on PlayStation 5 – we can’t recommend it enough! The gorgeous hand-drawn visuals of The Eternal Life of Goldman will surely catch your attention, but there’s also a really great DuckTales-inspired platformer in there, too, with the…
Google Home is giving its cameras a more specific memory for the animals at home. Pet Memory, a new Gemini for Home feature, lets supported cameras recognize a pet by name after an owner adds that pet’s name and type in Ask Home. The update works with indoor Nest cameras and select cameras with Gemini built in. Once it’s set up, Google Home can send a tailored alert when a known pet walks through a room or shows up in camera history. Pet Memory requires the Advanced plan of Google Home Premium, so the feature is tied to Google’s paid…
Fallout 76 launched way back in 2018 (can you believe that?) and despite the longevity on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, it still hasn’t made the native jump to the current generation of consoles. Developer Bethesda Game Studios, however, will begin testing PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S versions of the game this month, with plans to roll out the update sometime this Summer. This news was announced in the Infestations update release notes (that you can read here), which also explains that Fallout 76 will get PlayStation 5 Pro support. Anyone who already owns Fallout 76 will be able…
How we power our homes has become one of the most important conversations in consumer technology. Not in the abstract, policy-heavy way it used to be discussed, but in a far more personal sense. People want homes that are smarter, more resilient during outages, less affected by rising electricity costs, and increasingly capable of running more of daily life independently. The growing interest in residential solar reflects this dramatic shift. What was once framed as an environmental decision or a long-term cost-saving measure is now evaluated through an entirely different lens. Reliability matters. Ease of ownership matters. Design matters. Integration with the rest of the connected home matters even more. Tesla Solar Panels are engineered with that expectation in mind, bringing the same simplicity, visibility, and seamless integration…
We got another look at Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, which remakes Lara Croft’s original 1996 adventure in Unreal Engine 5, during yesterday’s PlayStation State of Play, where we also learned it’s been delayed from 2026 to February 12, 2027. Those who have visited the game’s Steam page since have discovered, however, that an “AI Generated Content Disclosure” is attached, stating that AI assets have since been replaced or refined by humans. AI has become a problem for the games industry in more ways than one. Not only is it leading to countless layoffs at studios and publishers around the world…
If you’ve ever picked up a book after a long break and spent the first few pages wondering who half the characters are, Google thinks it has a solution. Google Play Books is rolling out a new feature called Book Insights, an AI-powered reading companion designed to help readers stay engaged without leaving the page. The tool introduces a “Catch me up” button that generates a quick recap of what you’ve already read, making it easier to jump back into a story after days — or even weeks — away. No more flipping back through chapters So, instead of skimming…
Pokémon Campions is the new home for competitive Pokémon VGC, but its launch earlier this year left out some key parts of what we expected from the product. Today, we learned when two of those gaps are getting filled – on June 17, Champions comes to mobile, and the newly introduced Mega Raichu X and Y will be launching alongside it.One of Champions’ original selling points is that it was coming to both console and mobile, with crossplay between the two platforms. Ideally, you can play on your Switch at home to get the best visuals, but you can take…
