Leaked Xbox Elite 3 controller images show at least one oddball addition, but it’ll struggle to compete in a radically changed market

Earlier today, Brazilian tech outlet Tecnoblog published images of two unannounced Xbox controllers reportedly obtained from the country’s telecommunications regulator. One is a small form factor gamepad designed for cloud gaming, resembling similar third-party gamepads by the likes of 8bitDo. The other is the successor to the Xbox Elite Controller 2.

If you’re part of the 92% of Diablo 4 players who haven’t completed Lord of Hatred: lock in

We all play Diablo for our own reasons. Some of us like the dopamine hit of smacking monsters and watching numbers go up. Others want to optimize their builds, honing every little piece of gear to be the best it could be. I, however, am simply a sucker for Sanctuary. Blizzard has created a world…

A Dusty Trip codes (May 2026)

These new A Dusty Trip codes can help you get behind the wheel of a valiant vehicle properly designed to survive long stretches of desert landscape. Without them, the road ahead will be longer, the sun harsher, and the rocks constantly in your shoes. A Dusty Trip is exactly what it sounds like – not…

The original Doom soundtrack joins ‘our national playlist’ in the US Library of Congress

The United States Library of Congress got a little cooler today by inducting the soundtrack of the original Doom into its National Recording Registry. The Doom soundtrack, by composer Bobby Prince, is one of 25 recordings now designated as “audio treasures worthy of preservation for all time based on their cultural, historical or aesthetic importance…

Stellaris is finally adding an “impossible” feature: “even mentioning it would make programmers cry”

“For years we have said that moving planets are impossible,” Stellaris Game Director Stephen ‘Eldarin’ Muray remarks. “For years, we said even mentioning it would make programmers cry. We like to do the impossible, and we also (apparently) like to make our programmers cry.” He’s referring to the upcoming Stellaris Nomads DLC, which separates colonies…

How to digest food in Subnautica 2

After you reach the surface and get to work making your new aquatic habitat a home, your Subnautica 2 adventure hits a snag: You can’t digest any of this planet’s lifeforms. Whatever fish you catch and gobble up, even if cooked, throw up warnings about “digestive incompatibility.” Mercifully, Subnautica 2 leaves the physical consequences of…

Party Animals’ $75,000 AI video contest is a slap in the face to its creative team, and I’m not surprised it’s getting blasted on Steam

May 14, 2026, 07:09 PT: Recreate Games has issued a statement apologizing for “upsetting players,” and has offered three options to the community on how best to proceed. Generative AI is more than a touchy subject, and for good reason. It’s creatively bankrupt, and when used most egregiously does grave injustice to talented artists who have…

The next big Arc Raiders update isn’t until October, but some serious stash relief lands next week

Arc Raiders developer Embark Studios is changing pace, shifting from its monthly update cycle in dramatic fashion. From now on, you can expect major Arc Raiders updates just twice a year, albeit in a bigger, more impactful fashion.

Forza Horizon 6 launch times and release date

After years of fan requests, over a decade even, Forza Horizon 6 finally takes us to Japan with a new Horizon Festival that’ll have you falling in love with street races, drifting, and kei trucks. But you’ll have to wait just a bit longer for the Forza Horizon 6 launch time and release date. Sorry….

New TFT patch takes another swing at its reroll meta, and the reworked Morgana will beef up your frontline

The Teamfight Tactics patch 17.3 notes have finally arrived, and boy am I glad to see them. The past several weeks have been rather miserable, as I’ve continuously faced the odious choice between multiple low-cost reroll lines, Marauder Yi, or, if I get a cheeky little emblem, Dark Star. The current meta has been one…
