Ever since the Nintendo Switch changed up the gaming landscape with a hybrid console/handheld in 2017, companies have tried to cash in on the hype. Valve does it, Lenovo does it, and now it seems like PlayStation is doing it (that doesn’t count). That’s not exactly news. Reports of a proper PlayStation handheld have floated about for the past couple of years, but a new leak gives us a peek behind the curtain as Sony preps the device. PlayStation Sixtch? The handheld, dubbed Project Canis internally, would be a separate entity from Sony’s PlayStation 6 and is not the PS6…

The Lenovo Legion Go 2 is a lot of things, but a SteamOS-running machine is not one of them. According to a fresh report from Windows Latest, that could all be about to change as Lenovo gears up to release a non-Windows model that once again sticks AMD’s Ryzen Z2 Extreme chip in the driver’s seat. Lenovo Legion Going to CES If the rumours are true, isn’t that far off, either. Lenovo could be hoping to debut the “new” handheld PC console as soon as CES 2026, which kicks off in the second week of the new year, joining Samsung…

There really is no better time than the end of the year to catch up on all the series your coworkers spent the last twelve months flapping their lips about. Severance is one of those after the series’ S2 finale absolutely melted everybody’s brains back in March this year. And before you ask, yes, it has been picked up for a third season, meaning you won’t be left with a cliffhanger. Until 2027, anyway. We’re sorry about that. Severance is otherworldly sci-fi cooked to perfection Severance follows in the footsteps of The Twilight Zone and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, which is certainly good company.…

If you’re afraid of going full weeb at full price, then you’ll want to listen up. Crunchyroll, the anime streaming service of choice, is celebrating the holidays by slashing the price of its annual subscriptions from now until 29 December. If you’ve yet to watch the masterpiece that is Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End, this is the way to do it. Crunchyroll? Nani? The two Crunchyroll genders are ‘Fan’ and ‘Mega Fan’, which can be snagged for R325/y and R410/y respectively until 29 December 2025. It’s a far better deal than the monthly sub, anyway, which does at least offer a 7-day…

We were beginning to doubt whether we’d ever see the FIFA name return to the realm of video games after the football organisation cut ties with EA Sports back in 2022. It seems FIFA has been reluctant to dish out its license to just anybody, patiently awaiting the ‘right’ company to step in. Now, it has seemingly abandoned that notion and partnered with Netflix to launch the next FIFA game on the streamer. “This summer, as the world gathers to celebrate the FIFA World Cup 2026, fans can play a newly reimagined FIFA football simulation game exclusively on Netflix Games,” the streamer wrote. FIFA…

We were among the minority who appreciated the narrative beats in 2022’s Avatar: The Way of Water, however skint they were. More important to the average moviegoer was seeing just what James Cameron had cooked up after more than a decade, and most left the theatre relatively pleased. Avatar: Fire and Ash is the third instalment of a series that we’re beginning to think should’ve stopped at two. The biggest sin this movie commits is expecting viewers to care about what happened at the end of the last one, despite never quite managing to break through into the zeitgeist in fourteen…

Apparently, calling your mates into a huddle to stare blankly at a 6in screen as you scroll through Instagram Reels isn’t cool anymore. As such, Meta has announced ‘Instagram for TV’, which is exactly what you think it is. If you thought ‘a thinly-veiled attempt to cash in on the ever-shortening attention span crisis’, you read our mind. The trick is that the app is currently only available via Amazon Fire TV devices in the US; however, the company eventually hopes to expand its availability to more regions and TVs beyond this initial trial phase. “We’ve heard from our community…

We’re willing to bet that most of the folks cranking 90s in Fortnite weren’t even around for Razer’s first-ever gaming mouse, the Boomslang. It changed the landscape (for the better) when it was released near the end of the 90s, bringing with it a 2,000DPI sensor and even USB support. Now, Razer is celebrating the feat with the Boomslang 20th Anniversary Edition (don’t ask us why it isn’t a 25th anniversary), and it looks… Send leet pics? Exactly how you’d expect from a name like Razer — rad. There are some changes, however. While a 2,000DPI sensor might have sufficed back in…

It won’t be long before 2026 is officially at our doorsteps, and with it, a new set of petrol and diesel price adjustments, courtesy of the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy (DMRE). The change won’t be immediate; the new prices take effect on Wednesday, 7 January 2026. That all works in our favour; however, seeing as the CEF’s latest predictions point to a decrease in fuel prices for all motorists come the new year. Good news, petrol drivers! Compared to the previous week’s predictions, that’s a big win. The energy company’s early predictions for January 2026 initially foretold a rather large…

For Epic, it’s all about one day overthrowing Steam’s longstanding superiority and to do that, it needs to fix that clunky launcher hand out free games every other day. Today is one of those days, with Hogwarts Legacy making itself available to all Epic Games players on PC. Upholding a Hogwarts Legacy All Epic Games needs from you is a name, email address, and date of birth. Nobody actually said they had to be accurate, though you’ll want the email address to be one you can access for verification purposes. Beyond that, go nuts — and don’t forget to check back in…
