After being announced last year, Ghost of Yōtei's new co-op multiplayer Legends mode will go live on March 10 for the PS5 game. The mode arrives mere months after Ghost of Yōtei's October 2025 launch, but development on it ran throughout the production of the single-player game.

In 2024, Elon Musk's Neuralink implant allowed a quadriplegic patient to play RuneScape and Slay the Spire in his brain. But now, scientists are taking things further, training lab-grown brain cells to play video games sans any connection to an actual human brain. Naturally, it didn't take long for someone to teach these clumps of cells to play Doom. Cortical Labs--an Australian neurological research company that used its neuron-powered computer chips to play Pong in 2021--recently revealed...
The Nintendo Switch 2 is doing very well for Nintendo financially, even as fans settle into the knowledge that it is essentially a more powerful, premium Switch system.

Now almost a year into its lifespan, the free-trial period for that feature is closing on March 31...

Microsoft finally announced its next Xbox, which is codenamed Project Helix. The upcoming console will be the first to play Xbox and PC games, but it's apparently not the first time that Microsoft has pursued that goal. A recently resurfaced report shows that Microsoft was pushing the idea of Project Helix--under that same name--for a decade or longer. The Verge's Tom Warren called attention to a 2016 post by Kotaku, which noted that Microsoft had a plan "codenamed 'Project Helix' according...
Development on Microsoft's next console has begun, and in typical Microsoft fashion, the announcement was big on teases and light on details. Spinning out of this news was a report on a recent Microsoft town hall gathering and how newly appointed Xbox CEO Asha Sharma had been handed a "blank check" by Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella.
