Microsoft has redesigned Copilot for Windows 11 more than a couple of times. Its latest idea, however, is based on one that it already tried and abandoned: docking the AI assistant to the side of your screen so that it remains accessible even when you’re using other apps. By default, Microsoft’s AI assistant still opens as a standalone app (in a separate window). But hovering over a new dropdown menu in the title bar now offers dedicated window snapping options that let you dock it to either the left or right edge of the screen (via Windows Latest). What is…
Samsung has a busy second half of 2026 lined up, with several Galaxy devices in the pipeline. Apart from the expected Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Ultra launch, one of the most anticipated launches aimed at the affordable market is the Galaxy S26 FE. We are still a few months away from its official debut, but as reported by SammyGuru, a third-party case maker has already listed protective cases for the phone, giving us our first look at its design from multiple angles. Has Samsung played it safe with the S26 FE design? The Galaxy S26 FE appears to borrow…
This feature originally appeared in issue 372 (The Outer Worlds 2) of Game Informer magazine.Special thanks to Deltarune’s enthusiastic and creative community for allowing us to highlight a small sampling of their impressive fan art!When I asked Toby Fox, the developer behind the viral hit, Undertale (and now its spin-off Deltarune), if I could interview him, the somewhat reclusive creator questioned if talking to him would be of interest to readers. He told me the way he makes games is pretty “stupid,” so it might not be worthwhile to have a conversation. I found his apprehension surprising, because on the surface,…
Here is my problem with The Boys finale. After five seasons of buildup, watching Homelander laser people in half for looking at him wrong and Butcher destroying himself for one shot at revenge – I wanted a bloodbath. And somehow, the memes that came out of the finale were more satisfying than the episode itself. The Boys season 5 finale, titled “Blood and Bone,” is not the worst finale ever made, but it is one of the most frustrating ones to sit through. The show threw out every method the Boys had spent seasons chasing to kill Homelander, botched the…
For the last 25 years, developer IO Interactive has been known primarily for the lauded Hitman franchise. In that series, players take control of Agent 47, a blank-slate killing machine who travels the world to hunt down targets and take them out in ways that either look like an accident or are untraceable back to him. The series, particularly the World of Assassination trilogy, saw IO Interactive reach new heights, delivering some of the most engaging sandbox stealth experiences the medium has ever seen.Though markedly different experiences, many of the skills that IO developed transferred to the development of 007…
Ferrari has officially entered the electric era with the unveiling of the all-new Ferrari Luce, the first fully electric production car in the company’s history. Revealed in Rome, the Luce marks one of the biggest shifts the Maranello-based automaker has made since the company was founded in 1939. For years, Ferrari resisted going fully electric. The company repeatedly argued that emotion, sound, and driver engagement were core to the Ferrari experience, something enthusiasts believed could not exist without a combustion engine. Even when rivals like Porsche launched EVs such as the Porsche Taycan and brands like Lamborghini began discussing electrification…
Oppo has launched a new phone accessory in China called the Oppo Bubble, and it’s surprisingly versatile. It functions like a selfie tool, while also being a tiny rear display, a playful phone add-on, and a fun accessory in general. All of this would have it dominate tech TikTok a few years ago. Announced alongside the Reno 16 series, the Bubble is a compact magnetic circular display that attaches to the back of supported Oppo smartphones. The tiny gadget basically acts like a secondary screen that helps in taking better selfies, which is honestly handy. It is small, light, and…
The PlayStation Portable, or the PSP, was discontinued over a decade ago, but its cultural presence never fully faded. Most recently, the fast-fashion brand Zara gave it a second life in the most unexpected form: the company has dropped a crossbody bag modelled after the PSP 1000. The Zara PSP Crossbody Bag is exactly as delightful and absurd as the name sounds. The shadow drop came without an announcements or media campaigns, but the retro gaming community has already taken notice of it. What does the bag actually look like? It is actually a relatively small crossbody bag whose front…
Google’s Quick Share is the kind of feature you don’t think about until the day you need it and your phone simply doesn’t have it. Huawei device owners live in that reality permanently, given that they don’t have access to Google Play services, and so does anyone running the Chinese regional build of Android. However, a developer with the handle Kyujin-cho just published an open-source Android app called Bada on GitHub that seems to solve exactly this problem. It does so by implementing Google’s own Quick Share protocol from scratch, circumventing the lack of Google Play Services. What does Bada…
For this Game Informer issue cover story, we traveled to Warsaw, Poland, to visit Rebel Wolves, a studio co-founded by The Witcher 3 director Konrad Tomaszkiewicz, to learn all about the company’s debut game, The Blood of Dawnwalker. During the trip, we spent plenty of time drilling into how the team is capitalizing on the choice-driven style of gameplay that various members of the studio delivered with masterpieces like The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and Cyberpunk 2077. As it turns out, Rebel Wolves may be taking the concept of player choice even further than those landmark games.For Tomaszkiewicz, after leaving…
