Nintendo Switch 2 broke records as the biggest Nintendo console launch ever seen in Britain.

The new console ranks fourth among all gaming systems launched in Britain. PlayStation 5 holds the top spot for console launches in the region. PlayStation 4 and Xbox Series consoles round out the top three positions. PlayStation 5 sold over 250,000 units within two days of its British debut. Switch 2 likely sold...

NVIDIA and Mediatek work together on new desktop and laptop chips. Someone spotted the first N1X processor online during testing. The company wants to compete with regular computer processors that people buy every day. NVIDIA plans to make cheaper chips for normal users instead of just expensive supercomputers. The N1X chip scored over 3,000 points on single tasks and 18,000 points on multiple tasks.
The N1X uses the same ARM design as NVIDIA's powerful GB10 chip but costs less money. Early reports suggested the chip would have 8 or 12 cores for processing. The actual N1X contains 10 fast Cortex-X925 cores and 10 regular Cortex-A725 cores. HP built the test computer that ran Ubuntu software with 128 GB of memory. The chip runs at 2.81...

A popular Halo dataminer found evidence that Microsoft plans to bring the franchise to PlayStation 5. The dataminer @gruntdotapi discovered a new game title on retail systems that works with Xbox Series consoles and PlayStation 5. This appears to be a completely new Halo game rather than a port of existing titles like Halo Infinite or the Master Chief Collection. The discovery suggests Microsoft wants to expand the franchise beyond Xbox platforms. The dataminer expects an official announcement soon.
The dataminer has proven reliable with past Halo information leaks. They often reveal new Halo Infinite content before Microsoft makes official announcements. Phil Spencer hinted at Xbox Game Showcase that a classic franchise would return...
Apple launched its Liquid Glass redesign across all products with major updates to looks and features. The company released iOS 26 and macOS Tahoe 26 with digital glass layers that bend light in different ways. Critics point out that Windows already used similar glass designs before Apple did. Samsung and other companies quickly reminded Apple about their earlier glass interfaces.
Samsung mocked Apple's new design approach on social media platforms. The Korean company highlighted how its One UI 7 redesign already featured similar glass elements. Samsung noted that it released AI translation features for messaging and calls before Apple added them. The company also pointed out that Galaxy Watch models used AI features ahead of the Apple...
Apple built Adaptive Power mode into iOS 26 beta 1 to help phones last longer. The new feature cuts screen brightness and makes some apps run slower. Users trade speed for battery life when they turn on this mode. People can find Adaptive Power under Settings and Battery options. The company designed this feature to work differently from Low Power Mode.
Adaptive Power turns on Low Power Mode automatically when battery drops to 20 percent. The feature changes how it works based on what people do with their phones. Some tasks take more time when Adaptive Power runs. Apple may have added this feature because the iPhone 17 Air needs better battery management. Reports say the thin phone will have a small 2,800mAh battery that needs extra help.
Apple launched Metal 4 API for Mac computers at WWDC 2025. The company added new gaming features to help Apple Silicon Macs run games better. MetalFX Frame Interpolation creates extra frames between real ones to boost speed. The system works like NVIDIA Frame Generation but causes some input delay. Apple Silicon chips still fall behind NVIDIA and AMD graphics cards.
MetalFX already had upscaling to improve game performance without hurting picture quality. Frame Interpolation adds one frame for every two real frames the computer makes. Games need high base framerates or players will notice the delay difference. Denoising technology helps bring ray tracing and path tracing to Mac games. M3 and newer chips support hardware ray tracing...
