Publisher 4Divinity, who you may recognize as the publishers of JDM: Japanese Drift Master has something very different coming to its portfolio with Sword Sage: Awakening. A third-person action RPG where you step into the shoes of San Niang, and an adventure wrapped in Chinese myth and folklore. The studio debuted a new gameplay and story trailer today, which shows off a bit of the kind of action players can expect. It's a game that, to some, will look like another Soulslike, while others will say it looks more like a traditional action game with its combat. The reality, of […]

A first look at the iPhone 18 Pro’s logic board shows that the A20 Pro has adopted the new WMCM (Wafer-Level Multi-Chip Module) packaging, with Apple gradually shifting away from the PoP (Package-on-Package) technology used for the A19 Pro. We also see that Apple has once more relied on its chip design prowess to limit the size of the SoC while also making changes to the Neural Engine. Maintaining the same physical size as the A19 Pro allows Apple to lower production costs for the A20 Pro, which are already expensive to mass produce, thanks to TSMC’s 2nm node While the […]

Electronic Arts executive Laura Miele, a 30-plus-year veteran at the American publisher, was recently featured on The Game Business Show and talked about various topics, including, of course, how the publisher is using AI in its development process. Back in late 2024, EA CEO Andrew Wilson was one of the very first major gaming executives to openly state that generative AI would soon be at the "very core of business", allowing greater efficiency, expansion, and transformation. Now that it's been over a year and a half since that statement, when asked whether AI tools can expedite the increasingly long game […]

Circana senior director and veteran video game industry analyst Mat Piscatella has just shared the latest monthly sales numbers for the video game industry in the US for the month of May 2026. Usually, the big topic from these reports comes down to which games are at the top of the charts, and while that's still significant here, the bigger topic is what happened with hardware sales. While the Nintendo Switch 2 continued to sell and helped drive spending growth in the US video game industry for May 2026 compared to May 2025, the PS5 and PlayStation overall saw its […]

In the PlayStation 5 generation, Sony Computer Entertainment's software output hasn't been as impressive as it was in the previous console generation. Due to SIE’s aggressive live service push, the Japanese publisher released several games - such as the ill-fated Concord from Firewalk Studios and Marathon from Bungie - that did not meet players' expectations. Despite this, President Hideaki Nishino confirmed they will continue to pursue live-service games, even as he heavily hints at a PlayStation 6 handheld designed to meet the changing playstyles of gamers worldwide. "We believe that live service games are content that attracts users on a […]

That Trump Mobile has an eccentric bent is no longer a revelation. Even so, the extent to which the company is willing to give itself up to its eccentric proclivities is certainly a bit jarring, Consider the latest episode of Trump Mobile's rebellious streak, where it has seemingly violated the sanctity of pre-orders by opening up sales of its T1 Phone to the public at large without clearing the reservation backlog first. Those who paid Trump Mobile a $100 deposit to gain early access to the T1 Phone suddenly find themselves at the back of the proverbial queue As stated […]

Qualcomm will introduce its first 2nm chipsets later this year, but don’t expect these SoCs to share the same capabilities just because they utilize the same lithography. In fact, a tipster shares some specification differences between the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro and Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 to show the ‘Pro’ version will only be found in the ‘top of the line’ flagships arriving next year.

Onimusha: Way of the Sword is set to continue CAPCOM's incredible streak in 2026, and the Japanese publisher showed more of its upcoming PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2 game during its latest Spotlight showcase.

The idea that SpaceX might acquire one of the so-called 'Big Three' carriers in the US is getting fairly hackneyed, with a speculative report popping up seemingly on a weekly basis now. Even so, the latest research note from TD Cowen differs from the recent speculative commentary and lays out SpaceX's choices and the associated costs of acquiring T-Mobile in fairly stark terms. Why SpaceX desperately needs additional terrestrial spectrum SpaceX recently acquired around 65 MHz of nationwide, exclusive-use, contiguous spectrum for $19.6 billion, divided into three distinct bands: Here's the rub, however.
