In the wake of Sony's announcement that it's raising the price of the PlayStation 5 in the US, analyst Daniel Ahmad has said Nintendo could potentially follow suit and hike the price of the Switch 2 due, in part, to tariffs.
Ahmad said Nintendo explored the possibility of raising prices on the Switch 2 earlier this year, when tariffs for Vietnam, where some of the consoles are produced, were at 10%. The tariff rate for Vietnam is now 20%, and this "definitely" impacts how much money...
The PS5 Slim Digital Black Ops 6 bundle is in stock at PlayStation Direct for $400, but it probably won't be available for much longer. In what seemed like an inevitability, PlayStation announced hardware price increases in the US on PS5 consoles. All three models are increasing by $50 on August 21, which bumps the PS5 Slim Digital from $450 to $500.
Released in May, the Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 PS5 Slim Digital bundle already offered terrific value at its $400 promotional price. Based on...

Recently, The First Descendant developer Nexon ran a Creative Challenge program on TikTok that allowed users to submit content they have made to be used in ads for the game. However, it was quickly discovered that a number of videos submitted for the challenge, which later appeared on the official First Descendant TikTok account, had been entirely AI generated. These AI videos even included the likenesses of content creators who had no part in making them, and as a result Nexon has put out a...
There Are No Ghosts at the Grand is a first-person, narrative-driven mystery game developed by Friday Sundae. This is the studio's debut game, and a hands-on demo is available for those at Gamescom this week. I watched the demo ahead of its release at a preview event, and the game is an alluring combination of part-ghost story, part-musical, and part-renovation game. The heart of the game is the ghost story, though, and the developer works to make this spooky seaside tale approachable for...

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 has been revealed in greater detail as part of Gamescom, and one of the key changes to the Omnimovement system is the addition of wall-jumping.
As you can see in the video below, wall-jumping allows the player to zip across the map in a way that may feel familiar to longtime fans of Call of Duty since some older games also had wall-running. Some are comparing this to some of the exosuit-powered abilities from Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, and indeed, it does look...

World of Warcraft's Midnight expansion is coming early next year, and it's reimagining an often forgotten part of old Azeroth to look and feel brand new--the Blood Elf lands of Quel'thalas.
Blizzard threw back the veil on WoW's 11th expansion, the second in its three-expansion-long Worldsoul Saga trilogy, at Gamescom 2025.
