Warframe developer Digital Extremes is hard at work making its first game in nearly a decade, Soulframe, alongside the community in its early access “Preludes” form. To write the Soulframe cover story in the May issue of Game Informer, I traveled to Digital Extremes in Ontario, Canada, to learn more about the game, and it’s there that I learned this fantasy MMO is a response to the cynicism of the world. “To appeal to the sort of aesthetic or emotional reason for why we would make [Soulframe] is kind of a response to the cynicism of the world we are finding ourselves…
Huawei has officially shown off a wide-format foldable phone, and it is hard not to look at it and think about the iPhone Fold rumors all over again. The unreleased foldable iPhone just got an unofficial rival with the Huawei Pura X Max. Huawei has already started teasing it through official materials ahead of its China launch on April 20. Image posters shared by the company show an unusually wide foldable layout that looks closer to a compact tablet when opened than the taller, narrower foldables we have gotten used to. Why the Pura X Max has everyone talking The…

Third-person action-shooters have been around a long time, so it’s relatively rare that we see a wealth of new ideas at play. Pragmata’s greatest feat is successfully introducing a twist on the form, integrating two distinct mechanics – hacking and shooting – that run simultaneously in the midst of a fight. While Capcom’s long-awaited action game has some other problems, that single innovation keeps things interesting, even while some of the surrounding game treads familiar ground.Hugh is a specialist sent to a corporate moonbase where 3D-printed environments, bots, and other objects are researched and built at the direction of a…
The eufy C10 is down to $219.99 in a limited-time deal, a $260 saving off its $479.99 list price and more than half price for a self-emptying robot vacuum with LiDAR navigation and 8 weeks of hands-free operation. For a vacuum that genuinely removes itself from your to-do list, the timing and the price are both right. What you’re getting The self-emptying base is the feature that separates the eufy C10 from budget robot vacuums that still require daily attention. Up to 8 weeks between empties means the C10 runs its cleaning schedules and handles its own waste disposal without…

We don’t have any details about the game yet, but a full reveal is scheduled for Thursday, April 16.An Xbox Wire post accompanies a countdown video for the reveal stream.

Android may be getting a simpler way to move files between phones. A newly surfaced interface shows Google working on a sharing feature that appears built for quick transfers of contacts, photos, videos, links, location data, and other content by bringing two devices together. It looks like one of the clearest signs yet that Google wants a more physical, AirDrop-style handoff on Android. What makes the reveal interesting is how specific the flow already looks. The screens suggest both phones need to be unlocked, facing up, and aligned near the top before the transfer begins. That gives the feature a…
A fresh 3C filing offers the clearest early look yet at Motorola’s Razr 70 Ultra, and the most useful detail is also the most practical. The listing points to 68W wired charging, which lines up with the current model instead of hinting at a bigger leap. Foldables are usually judged less by one flashy spec and more by how well the whole package works day to day. Charging speed, battery life, and heat all shape that experience. If this leak holds up, Motorola seems to be sticking with a setup it already trusts. The filing ties the phone to model…
Retirement is often imagined as a period of freedom, where time can be spent on hobbies, relationships, and personal growth. However, a growing number of retirees are finding that much of this newfound time is quietly consumed by smartphones and social media, creating a different kind of challenge in post-work life. A recent feature by The Wall Street Journal highlights how retirees, despite good intentions, are struggling to manage their screen time. Without the structure of a job or daily responsibilities, many are slipping into habits of excessive scrolling, often losing hours without realizing it. When Free Time Turns Into…
After releasing its Claude extension for Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint, Anthropic has finally released Claude for Microsoft word, and it looks genuinely impressive. Anthropic says it is “designed for professionals who work extensively with documents, particularly in legal review, financial memo drafting, and iterative editing.” In other words, the people who spend half their day buried inside lengthy contracts and memos can now benefit from Claude’s superior AI capabilities. So, what can it do? It can do a lot, as it turns out. You can ask Claude questions about your document and get answers with clickable citations that jump straight…
