A recent notice to sailors suggests that SpaceX might fly Starship again between May 13 and May 23. The company last tested its rocket in March but stayed quiet about plans. Both previous flights failed when the upper stage blew up after separating from the main booster. SpaceX wants to make several tests with this flight, such as trying out catch equipment and testing heat shield pieces. The second-generation rocket has new fuel systems and bigger tanks.
The company ran several tests on the upper stage in late April. First, they checked the tanks, then tested one engine the next day, and later fired all engines together. The full engine test looked less than perfect, ending with a blue light flashing. This test ran longer than usual...
Microsoft will release Gears of War again this summer with many changes. The remastered game will be available on PlayStation systems for the first time ever. This version packs all the stuff from the Ultimate Edition, like extra story content, all maps for playing with friends, and character outfits players can earn. It runs at 4K with smooth 60 frames per second in story mode and faster 120 frames when playing against others.
The game shows better shadows, lighting effects, and sharper images without waiting times between levels. Players can connect across all game systems if they sign in with Microsoft accounts. The remaster launches August 25 on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series machines. Anyone who bought the Ultimate Edition...
Xbox games sold really well last month. Microsoft titles grabbed top spots on PlayStation 5 download charts across North America and Europe. The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered reached third place among all games sold this year in America after just one week. Minecraft and Forza Horizon 5 also ranked high on PlayStation charts. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 made the top five in Europe and sixth place in North America.
Game industry analyst Mat Piscatella shared these sales figures on social media. Only Monster Hunter World and Assassin's Creed: Shadows sold better than Oblivion Remastered in the United States this year. Xbox started releasing games on all platforms instead of keeping them exclusive. This strategy seems successful...
Apple plans to release a second foldable iPhone in 2027 with better screen tech. The first version already aims to beat rivals with two key features. Most foldables show a crease where the screen bends, but Apple wants theirs almost invisible. This would make viewing smoother across the entire display. Users might not notice any line when looking at the open screen.
The hinge will also stand apart from other brands with much higher quality. Apple might use stainless steel mixed with titanium for strength. The outer screen should measure 5.5 inches, with the inner display reaching 7.8 inches when unfolded. Instead of face recognition, it will use fingerprint scanning on the power button. The device would measure just 4.5mm thick when...
The next Nintendo system will work with Unreal Engine 5 but might struggle to run all its fancy features simultaneously. Tech experts at Digital Foundry say the new console probably cannot handle Nanite, Lumen, and Virtual Shadow Maps together, even at 30 frames per second with lower picture quality. They note that PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X already have trouble with these combined features, and the Nintendo hardware will face bigger challenges.
Games can still use these features on the new Nintendo machine, just not all at once. Fortnite serves as a good example of what to expect since it runs at 60 frames per second without the demanding Lumen lighting feature. Tests with The Matrix Awakens demo on similar hardware showed poor...
A writer sued game maker Bungie last year for copying his story into their game Destiny 2. Matthew Martineau claimed Destiny 2 took its Red Legion straight from his WordPress writings published years earlier. Bungie tried to dismiss the case, but hit a problem - they cannot show the court the original game content because they removed it from the current versions. The old game code no longer works with newer systems.
The judge refused to throw out the case even after Bungie game director Tyson Green explained why they cannot produce the original material. Judge Susie Morgan will not accept YouTube videos or wiki pages as evidence in place of the actual game content. She noted that Martineau mentioned Destiny 2 in his complaint but...
Fans keep making Grand Theft Auto V look better than ever. Digital Dreams showed a new video with CoreFx and Lively World mods running on the Enhanced Edition. These changes make the game appear much newer than its actual age. Players can enjoy these graphics upgrades as they wait longer for the next game.
Rockstar Games pushed back Grand Theft Auto VI for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S to May 26, 2026. The company needs more time to meet the quality standards players expect. Rockstar leaders knew about this schedule change earlier but waited to announce it. The delay partly comes from their wish to avoid rushing staff through crunch periods. PC gamers can play the Enhanced Edition right away.
T-Mobile keeps changing as it battles rivals in the phone business. Some stores run by outside companies use unfair sales tricks. A store run by Arch Telecom just fired all workers because one person cheated the system. This follows earlier problems with the T-Life app forcing customers to use it even inside stores.
Many people cannot tell which stores T-Mobile truly runs versus partner shops using the same signs. The company says it wants clearer store labels. An Arch worker shared on Reddit how their whole team lost jobs right before their first work anniversary. Management fired everyone after finding one worker who activated 300 phone lines but kept all the SIM cards.
This cheating worker used those SIM cards on their phone to...
TSMC sees higher demand for its new 2nm chips than for past versions. This high interest comes before mass production even starts. The company achieved low defect rates quickly, making the chips ready for market ahead of schedule. These chips use new nanosheet parts that help makers choose between speed and battery life. They run 10-15% faster than current 3nm chips.
Apple leads the customer list and might use these chips in the iPhone 18 models. NVIDIA plans to add them to Vera Rubin products. AMD became the first to announce plans for these chips in their Zen 6 Venice processors. All major tech companies want these chips, creating more demand than supply at first. TSMC will make about 50,000 wafers this year and three times more by...
