Denshattack is the best post-apocalyptic stunt train driving action sports simulator anime ever created. I haven’t done the research to confirm the veracity of that statement because I am confident I don’t need to. Despite clear inspirations from games like Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater and the Sega Dreamcast era, Denshattack is truly novel, and that is a rare superlative to apply to a video game in 2026. Developer Undercoders has taken what I believe is the universal childhood memory of grasping a handheld toy vehicle (a train in this case) and imagining it could fly, flip, grind, and race along…

Madden has been available on phones for years, but its mobile versions have never offered the same depth as the main console games. EA is now bringing a more substantial version to Apple Arcade through Madden NFL 27 Arcade Edition, which launches on August 6. As per EA, the game focuses on full NFL seasons, franchise management, and 11-on-11 matches. Players can manage trades, free agency, and roster changes before taking their team through the regular season and playoffs. Quick Play is also included for anyone who wants to skip the management side and start an exhibition match. Unlike Madden…

The creator economy is evolving. A few years ago, a fitness YouTuber would launch a merch line or a pre-workout powder. Today, platforms like Bask Health say they can help brands launch a compliant direct-to-consumer digital clinic in as little as 48 hours.  If you’ve followed the creator economy over the last decade, you know the monetization playbook by heart. First, it was ad revenue. Then came the branded merch, cheap hoodies and phone cases. When that wasn’t lucrative enough, every fitness influencer, biohacker, and wellness YouTuber suddenly launched their own white-labeled pre-workout powder or “brain-boosting” nootropic supplement.  But in 2026, the supplement market is deeply saturated, and consumers are suffering from subscription…

South Korea wants to give every citizen free access to an AI chatbot with no usage limits. That puts the technology closer to a public utility than another premium service demanding a monthly subscription. The Ministry of Science and ICT announced the AI for Everyone project on July 13. Private companies will build the platform around locally developed models, while a separate AI agent will help people navigate government services. It’s a more practical job than generating emails or settling arguments nobody wanted to research themselves. What will the free chatbot offer The plan covers a general-purpose chatbot that anyone…

Android is heading for its biggest app store shake-up in years. Starting July 22, third-party Android stores in the US can access Google Play’s catalog and offer those apps through their own storefronts. The change comes after Google and Epic Games withdrew their joint attempt to modify the permanent injunction in their long-running court battle. Google must now follow the original order requiring it to distribute rival stores through Google Play. Its support documentation confirms the July 22 launch date, though competing stores must enroll before they can participate. How will rival app stores work inside Google Play Participating stores…

Gears of War fans building a new PC rig just got a very good reason to make sure there’s a GeForce card inside. The Coalition and Xbox have named Nvidia the exclusive PC partner for Gears of War: E-Day, working alongside the studio since early development on performance tuning and launch support.  What does Nvidia’s partnership bring to the table? Built on Unreal Engine 5 and DirectX 12, the game will support Nvidia DLSS 4.5 with Dynamic Multi-Frame Generation, DLSS Super Resolution, and Nvidia Reflex for reduced latency. In other words, RTX gamers will get higher frame rates, sharper visuals,…

AI dictation app Willow launched its voice keyboard on iOS last November, giving iPhone users a more reliable way to type with their voice than Apple’s built-in dictation feature. At launch, the app had a capped weekly word limit on dictation, with unlimited use reserved for the $15 per month Pro plan. That limit is now gone, and iPhone users no longer have to subscribe to the Pro plan to get unlimited AI dictation. No more weekly word limit on AI dictation In a recent post on X, Willow says that unlimited AI dictation is now available for free in…

When was the last time you thought about switching your phone’s browser? For a long time, most people just stuck with whatever came preinstalled, which was Safari on iPhone and Google Chrome on Android. But Opera’s latest numbers suggest that changing, and the company is riding a nice wave of growth. In a blog post, Opera shared that the combined monthly active users of its Android and iOS browsers grew 66% in the UK and 40% in the US year over year during the second quarter. That’s a big jump in two of the most competitive markets out there. Europe…

Samsung’s July 22 Galaxy Unpacked event won’t be all about new foldables. The company has also started teasing its next-gen smartwatches, and its pitch leans heavily on AI. In a newsroom post published ahead of the event, Samsung promises “a whole new level of effortless wellness,” describing the upcoming watches as an “AI-powered health companion.” From tracking to interpreting Samsung says the new Galaxy Watch will shift from passive tracking to proactive guidance, using AI to interpret sleep apnea, energy, and stress data instead of just logging it on a graph. The company also teased “all-new internal components” and improved…
