Apple’s big AI push has reached the iPhone, iPad, and Mac, but a couple of noticeable devices are missing from the conversation. The Apple TV and HomePod have largely been left watching from the sidelines, despite Siri being such an important part of how you interact with both. That could finally change. With iOS 27 getting closer to its public release, the latest beta appears to contain another clue that Apple is preparing to bring Apple Intelligence features to its living room devices. As spotted by Apple Home Authority, the Home app now includes a new menu called “Apple Intelligence…
Gears of War: E-Day, the prequel shooter coming October 6, got a dedicated trailer focusing on its story and campaign during Opening Night Live and it features two separate instances of the word “f—“. Usually showcase trailers limit themselves to only one! You can’t blame folks for letting their tongue slip, though, especially when canonically they thought that had just moved past a human vs. human war only to be forced into conflict with monsters rising from the ground.The trailer showcases familiar characters scowling and arguing, and plenty of new characters, as well. You can check out the trailer above. For more…
Nvidia has announced a significant batch of gaming updates for RTX Spark at Gamescom 2026. EA, Ubisoft, and Embark are among the latest publishers bringing support for their games to the platform, giving us a better idea of what gaming on RTX Spark could look like when devices arrive this fall. The list includes EA Sports F1 25, Apex Legends, Anno 117: Pax Romana, ARC Raiders, and THE FINALS. Nvidia is also working with EA to bring native Javelin Anticheat support to RTX Spark. That last part is particularly important because anti-cheat compatibility has been one of the bigger unanswered…

In addition to showing off the game’s story and gameplay, it finally revealed a 2027 release date.Colloquially known online as “anime Grand Theft Auto”, Ananta comes from developer Naked Rain and centers on the premise “Go Viral.

AI receptionists are supposed to make calling the doctor easier. But a growing number of patients are finding that the opposite can be true – particularly when a machine struggles with the way they speak, understand instructions, or communicate their needs. A recent case in South Yorkshire brings that problem into sharp focus. Judith Butterfield, a 71-year-old woman recovering from a stroke, told the BBC that an AI receptionist used by her GP surgery repeatedly failed to understand her speech when she tried to book an appointment. Her stroke had left her speech fragmented and affected movement on the right…
A new PUBG shooter has stormed onto the battlefield, full of sound and fury. DED.NET took the stage at Gamescom Opening Night Live 2026 tonight, broadcasting its particularly irreverent approach to an online first-person shooter.In a trailer highlight the setting of a place called Cascadia in the ’90s, we saw a lot: characters doing penguin body-slides across the map, launching explosives from a graffiti-laden grenade launcher, and a guarantee that words used to describe DED.NET couldn’t be spoken on the Opening Night Live stage. There’s an interesting sell under the gratuitous aesthetic, though; today’s trailer description describes a multiplayer FPS “with…
Gamescom Opening Night Live goes by pretty quickly. In just a blink of an eye, you might miss a big reveal. Other times, you’re barely done with one intriguing game while another giant trailer drops immediately after to replace it. The 2026 show was particularly relentless, covering everything from established franchises to games I’d never heard of before Geoff Keighley introduced them. So picking six that stood out wasn’t a simple task. There’s something for almost every kind of gamer. But some still had me thinking about them, even after the livestream ended. We did see a few familiar franchises,…
We’re only a month out from another terrifying adventure, and the chance of both fog and scary creatures is very high. Today’s Opening Night Live presentation gave us a new look at Silent Hill: Townfall. Konami’s long-running horror franchise continues to impress in the latest video, where we got a look at both some eerie new scenes from the game, as well as a good listen to the strong cast that will help to carry the project. Horror games often lean heavily on voice acting to help carry the weight of the implied terror, and the new Silent Hill has some impressive…
Claude Cowork just got its own browser, built directly into the desktop app. Until now, giving Claude web access inside Cowork meant handing it your actual Chrome browser through Claude in Chrome extension. Now there’s a second option. Claude can open its own separate browser inside the Cowork side panel and handle the web part of a task on its own, while you keep working on whatever you’re doing. So how is it different from Claude in Chrome? Claude in Chrome uses your browser, your tabs, logins, the page you already have open. That setup makes sense when you’re already…
