Given the sheer amount of media franchises that have been airdropped into Fortnite, it’s no surprise that Invincible found its way into the hit battle royale. For only a couple of months in late 2023, players could purchase a cosmetics pack that granted character skins of Invincible, Omni-Man, Atom Eve, Allen, and Dupli-Kate. One rather grim but thematically appropriate cosmetic was a backpack modeled after The Immortal’s severed head. These unlockables were removed from the game in September 2025, and who knows when or if they’ll return.
Reddit is stepping up its fight against bots, and now your account could be asked to prove it is human if the platform detects fishy behaviour. Reddit CEO Steve Huffman says these checks will be rare, but they are meant to protect what makes Reddit work in the first place – real people talking to real people. As AI-generated content spreads, Reddit admits it is getting harder to tell who is behind a post. So instead of broad crackdowns, it is focusing on suspicious behavior and adding clearer signals across the platform. How Reddit plans to separate humans from bots…

The company has officially confirmed that Switch 2 games will have different pricing for digital and physical versions, with digital copies expected to be cheaper.

For example, early listings on the eShop show the game priced at $59.99 digitally vs $69.99 physically, marking a clear shift in how Nintendo handles game pricing. Why is Nintendo doing this?

Nintendo has announced a change to its Nintendo Switch 2 game pricing, with digital and physical versions of its titles launching at different prices. This change will begin in May with Yoshi and the Mysterious Book, and because preorders for the game are now live, we know the price difference between the physical and digital versions. The digital version of Yoshi and the Mysterious Book will cost $59.99 and the physical version will cost $69.99, reflecting a $10 price difference. That’s in stark contrast to previously released first-party Nintendo games, like Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bananza, and Metroid Prime 4,…

Arcade racers can be a ton of fun, but they’re rarely especially deep or complex. Screamer is one of the exceptions. Unabashed in its embrace of many classic arcade sensibilities, it also gleefully throws new mechanics, concepts, characters, storytelling tropes, and customization options at the player, keeping the action fast and furious while layering in all sorts of twisty complexity. At first, this depth feels rewarding, but as more and more pieces drop into place, it all starts to feel overwrought and fiddly, distracting from the core fun of a fast, intense race. I appreciate the desire to try new…
Qualcomm’s next flagship chip lineup could be more fragmented than previously expected. A new leak has detailed key specifications of the rumored Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 lineup, reiterating that the company may launch both a standard and a Pro variant this year. The two chips are expected to give smartphone makers more flexibility across price tiers, while also widening the performance gap between regular flagship phones and more premium “Ultra” models. How does the Snapdragon 8 Gen 6 Pro differ from the standard variant? Multiple reports have already pointed to Qualcomm’s dual-chip strategy, and tipster Digital Chat Station has…
