When I got my first gaming laptop nearly a decade ago, Witcher 3 was one of the first games I tried out. I could finally play the game in high graphics settings and immerse myself in the fantasy setting. After spending an ungodly amount of time with that game, I closed the chapter with its main story and DLCs. Now, 11 years later, I can’t believe I’ll be going back. At Gamescom Opening Night Live, the studio revealed The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — Remastered, a sweeping free upgrade launching September 29. The crowd was already cheering, and then it…

For now, First Draft is rolling out exclusively on iOS, with no word yet on when Android users might get access. How does First Draft create Reels for you on Instagram? The process starts just like making any other Reel. You select clips from your camera roll, but instead of manually trimming everything yourself,…

Fantasy games have given us plenty of medieval Europe, Norse mythology, and Japanese-inspired worlds. 1001 Threads of Mizan is taking a rather different route. MBC Game Studio’s debut action game draws heavily from Arabic folklore and One Thousand and One Nights, wrapping that inspiration around a gorgeous-looking fantasy world. And honestly, after seeing what the game is going for, I’m quite happy to see someone finally explore this side of fantasy at this scale. This is Arabic folklore with a serious visual upgrade The game’s world is packed with deserts, fantastical architecture, mythical creatures and enormous bosses, but it’s the…

Gears of War: E-Day is getting closer, and if you were hoping Marcus Fenix might catch a break before launch, its latest trailer has some very bad news for him. The Coalition dropped a new story trailer during Gamescom Opening Night Live, giving us another look at the early days of humanity’s war against the Locust. More importantly, it introduces a particularly unpleasant new enemy who seems determined to make an already disastrous situation even worse. And yes, at one point, someone gets Emulsion poured directly over their head. E-Day certainly isn’t easing us back into the Gears universe gently.…

Xbox’s handheld ambitions are getting more expensive – much more expensive. After already pushing into premium territory with the ROG Xbox Ally and Ally X, Microsoft and Asus are preparing another version that could make even the PlayStation 5 Pro look like a relative bargain. According to an X post from Asus, the new ROG Xbox Ally X20 Anniversary Bundle will launch in October for $2,499. The limited-edition handheld marks 20 years of the ROG brand and combines upgraded hardware with a distinctive anniversary design. Still, the asking price puts it in a category far beyond the usual portable gaming…

One of the most annoying parts of working with an AI assistant is having to explain yourself all over again. Claude is trying to fix that. Starting today, the memory Claude uses in chat is also available in Claude Cowork, meaning the context you’ve built up over months of conversations can follow you when you hand Claude a task. That means Claude can know about your projects, priorities, and preferences without requiring another lengthy briefing. Explain in chat how your team defines its metrics, for example, and Cowork can use that information when building your next quarterly business review. Discuss…

Apple has quietly refreshed its Magic Keyboard lineup, and if you look closely, you’ll notice something different about the keys. Nope, it’s not a redesign. It’s just new labels. What exactly changed on the new Magic Keyboard? On the updated keyboards, keys like Tab, Caps Lock, Shift, Return, and Delete now show glyphs instead of text.

Apple has updated four models, including the standard Magic Keyboard,…
