It’s been a rough ride for the long-awaited remake of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, but it seems like the game is nearly ready for release, judging by Ubisoft’s comments in its latest earnings call. The game was initially meant to be released in 2021, but suffered at least three public delays since, one of which involved handing over development to its team in Canada, which reportedly saw the game started over from scratch. We got the Prince of Persia remake before GTA 6? https://youtu.be/s9_WrUySsnw Ubisoft hasn’t quite committed to an official release date yet, but it has at…

It seems like just about everyone has an MVNO (Mobile Virtual Network Operator) these days, but even we were surprised to see that Spar Group was getting into the game. The group has officially launched Spar Mobile, developed in partnership with megsApp, another local MVNO that piggybacks off the MTN network. While many MVNOs struggle to pick up traction locally, particularly in the early stages of their life, Spar Mobile might just have what it takes to really detract from the hold that other networks like Vodacom, Cell C, and MTN have on this country. How? By handing out free…

It’s about time Android got some love and attention, and Google will oblige with a new design philosophy known as ‘Material 3 Expressive’, building upon the roots implanted when it debuted the ‘Material You’ makeover alongside Android 12 nearly four years ago. Announced at this year’s Google I/O show, the search giant plans to make Android more reactive, customisable, animated, and generally easier on the eyes. Making Android pretty again It’s not out just yet, but it’ll be available to all Android devices as part of the Android 16 and Wear OS 6 updates, due out later this year. Until…

In a move that we’re frankly astonished has taken this long to come to fruition, Audible will extend its already vast selection of audiobooks by conjuring new narrators out of thin air. That’s not some vague hint about Bezos’ lizard powers, but instead the company’s decision to dish out “fully integrated, end-to-end AI production technology” to whip up an audiobook in record time. *audible groan* You read that right. Why spend valuable time and money seeking out and paying real-life human narrators when you can pass off the task onto artificial intelligence (AI)? Audible’s reasoning is to help unknown creators…

While what seems to be the rest of the world fawns over the ray-traced body sweat and jiggle physics (don’t lie) seen in Rockstar Games’ GTA VI trailer 2, we’re more interested in the news that the company may have a GTA IV remaster or port in the pipeline to hold fans over in light of the series’ delay to May 2026. No complaints here. Give me Liberty City, or give me death! It makes sense. For whatever reason, one of Rockstar Games’ best-ever titles is still shackled to the PS3 era of consoles, without any proper support for Niko Bellic’s story…

Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge is finally here, and it’s every bit as thin as the company and several hands-on reviews said it was. There’s no doubt Samsung’s cooked up an impressive bit of engineering here, but it begs the question: is an ultra-thin smartphone really worth the hit to the S25 Series’ already poor battery life? Instinct tells us no, but we’ll wait to get our hands on the thing before judging it too harshly. Covered in titanium, the Galaxy S25 Edge promises to be the perfect blend of premium and ‘affordable’, bringing with it the same performance as the rest…

If you’re still not satisfied with the price of fuel in South Africa (and rightly so), despite the recent bout of fuel price decreases, you’ll want to hear this. According to early predictions from the Central Energy Fund (CEF), motorists may have yet another fuel price cut to look forward to by the time June rolls around. You’re gonna want to see this While that’s still a couple of weeks away, the CEF’s early predictions certainly are promising. Whether your fuel-buying ambitions involve diesel, petrol, or paraffin, there’s a good chance you’ll be paying less at the pumps than you…

The WH-1000XM6 is real, and it’s coming soon The noise-cancelling headphone space is about to get another contender. Sony, makers of some of our favourite cans in the WH-1000XM5, wants to permeate your ears some more. After three years of punting the flagship headset, the company has finally confirmed the existence of the WH-1000XM6, set to release on Thursday, 15 May at 18h00. Sony’s leaving all the little details like the specs and price to your imagination for the time being. You’ll have to tune into the official unveiling over on Sony’s YouTube channel at the time we mentioned to…

Apple hasn’t exactly made it a secret that it’s developing a pair of smart Meta Ray-Ban-like glasses behind the scenes, separate from the company’s recent expedition into augmented reality (AR) with its mildly successful Vision Pro. The Big Fruit Company has reportedly tasked its silicon design group to generate new chips that’ll serve as the basis of new, more powerful Macs, AI servers, and eventually, smart glasses. The Apple of my eye(s) That’s according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, who reckons Apple is making headway on its plans for its first pair of smart eyewear. According to people familiar with the matter, Apple…

South Africa isn’t the best when it comes to handling money. We’re not just talking about the government, either, but the general population it serves. More and more people are struggling as costs continue to trend upwards, while salaries… don’t. To combat this, FNB has launched Fincents, a financial education hub with the hopes of teaching financial literacy and bringing the country’s underserved populous onto an even playing field. Talk about financial sense, amirite? It’s all free of charge, too, with the only costs incurred being the price of mobile data. Better yet, it doesn’t discriminate against those who bank…
