One of the most appealing parts of Marvel Rivals are the numerous costume skins for different characters, with each creating striking new looks for playable heroes. Some skins are 100% original, seen only within the game, or directly referencing an adaptation outside the comics. However, given how many unique designs every Marvel character has had, there is plenty of space for more comic-accurate costumes to be included.
Will it be a keeper?
During Microsoft’s Xbox Games Showcase last month, we thought one first-party game in particular flew under the radar a little bit – that being Double Fine’s Keeper. Yep, the studio that brought us the excellent Psychonauts 2 in 2021 is back again later this year with its next effort, and we want to know if you’re excited for its nearby release.

Apple’s been toying around with the idea of a cheaper iPhone in the lineup for quite some time, though it’s never been a consistent thing. Obviously, there was the iPhone 5c back in 2013 as a cheaper offering compared to the iPhone 5s. It didn’t sell too well, but it was certainly its first venture into this market.
Afterwards, there was the lineup, which had an average of 3 years between each refresh. Now, it’s looking like the ‘cheaper’ iPhone will become a regular part of the iPhone lineup, per recent reports.

A recent datamine of the ongoing Battlefield Labs has unearthed references to an as-yet unannounced Battlefield 6 Open Beta.
The 1BF Telegram group has reported that the latest client update for Battlefield Labs has added the string ‘Battlefield 6 open beta,’ suggesting that something is in the pipeline at Battlefield Studios. This doesn’t mean that the new Battlefield game is officially called Battlefield 6, but rather, it’s probably just an internal name that the team are using for the time being, and it’s been thrown around for a while now by the media when talking about the next instalment in the franchise

Battlefield Studios hasn’t announced an open beta for the new Battlefield game yet, but it’s not a stretch to assume there would be one closer to launch.
Now that Disney Dreamlight Valley‘s The Storybook Vale expansion has seemingly come to a close, the anticipation is higher than ever for the developers’ annual showcase, where they will likely reveal what’s next in terms of DDV‘s additional content. However, while part 2 was seemingly marketed as Storybook Vale‘s finale, there is one thing that may indicate it’s not over yet.
Launching in Japan this month.
The Switch 2’s packing a lot more horsepower than the original system, and as a result, a lot of games and series can now ship with higher resolutions and improved performance. With this in mind, the upcoming release Ys X: Proud Nordics will apparently support up to 120fps on Nintendo’s new hybrid system.
This information comes from Japanese outlet Inside Games (via RPG Site), with the source reporting there’ll be a special mode to prioritise performance, where players can apparently experience “smoother movements” thanks to the higher frame rate. The default performance is said to be 60fps.

When ChatGPT or Gemini give what seems to be an expert response to your burning questions, you may not realize how much information it relies on to give that reply. Like other popular generative artificial intelligence (AI) models, these chatbots rely on backbone systems called foundation models that train on billions, or even trillions, of data points.
In a similar vein, engineers are hoping to build foundation models that train a range of robots on new skills like picking up, moving, and putting down objects in places like homes and factories. The problem is that it’s difficult to collect and transfer instructional data across robotic systems. You could teach your system by teleoperating the hardware step-by-step using technology like virtual reality (VR), but that can be time-consuming. Training on videos from the internet is less instructive, since the clips don’t provide a step-by-step, specialized task walk-through for particular robots.
One of the best parts of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is that there are dozens of different ways to “break the game,” something the developers at Sandfall Interactive not only encourage, but incorporated intentionally into the fundamental gameplay design. One such method for doing this involves an incredibly powerful weapon and skill combo for a somewhat divisive character, Verso. In terms of narrative, not everyone is a big fan of Verso’s character traits and questionable morals, » Read More
Battle.net integration is proving very useful.
One of the big features Steam Deck owners have been requesting for years now is native Xbox Game Pass support, but it’s something that’s never been added to Steam – and the Xbox PC app isn’t officially supported on there either.
That’s not to say you’re totally out of luck though. One option is to stream Xbox Game Pass titles as part of the Xbox Cloud Gaming service, another is to dual-boot Windows on there, and a third more recently discovered option is to download PC Game Pass titles from other launchers such as Battle.net.
