Control Resonant, the upcoming sequel to Remedy Entertainment's Control, will be released on September 24th, 2026, according to a trailer that premiered during Tuesday's PlayStation State of Play show.The trailer also gave a preview of the game's story, which stars Dylan Faden, who was imprisoned for much of the first game. He will be the "sole playable character," Remedy's Mikael Kasurinen says in a blog post, but his sister Jesse, who was the protagonist of Control, also "shapes the path" in Resonant."In Resonant, we go further into the Fadens' complicated past. Their lives have been anything but easy, and the cost of what they carry i …Read the full story at The Verge.

Usually, when we hear about a new piece of hardware, it begs the question: when will we actually see it arrive in devices? Any tech company can stand on a stage and announce a new chip, but if no manufacturers decide to actually use it, then it's pretty much dead on arrival.

While the majority of Summer Game Fest takes place over the weekend, Sony is getting a jump on things with its next State of Play showcase, which airs on June 2nd at 5PM ET. It’s coming at a pivotal time for the PlayStation brand: The PS5 keeps getting more expensive and Sony’s big bet on live-service games has largely fallen flat. A good showing at SGF won’t fix everything, but it could help show that PlayStation is on the right path moving forward.For its part, Sony says its latest State of Play will feature “more than 60 minutes of updates, announcements, and gameplay reveals from top studios around the world.” The only confirmed part of the event’s lineup is Wolverine, from Spider-Man developer Insomniac, which is slated to launch in September. But given the length of the stream, there’ll be plenty more detailed. Maybe we’ll see the just-announced third expansion for The Witcher 3, or the long-awaited final installment of the Final Fantasy VII remake trilogy, or some more of Intergalactic, the next big project from The Last of Us developer Naughty Dog. It’s also likely the event will provide some insight into the uncertain future of Marathon.Whatever Sony shows, you can watch along on YouTube or Twitch, or follow along with the latest developments right here.And for everything announced at the rest of Summer Game Fest, be sure to check out our event hub.

I've always preferred Android phones to iOS since college, when I'd spend hours designing Zooper Widgets on a Galaxy S4 to create a good-looking setup limited only by my imagination, the app's features, and device battery life. Until very recently, the OS wasn't a pain point. It was only when I tried unlocking the bootloader on a Xiaomi phone around 2020 that I realized how cumbersome it was to email the company and wait. For power users, the ability to compile an open-source tool, host it on a personal server, and install it on a daily driver without asking a massive corporation for permission seems fundamental to their digital rights.

The stress is real when you’re the friend who has to pick the place where everyone’s going to grab something to eat. If the place is too small or the menu isn’t what everyone agreed on, you’re the one to blame. I thought I was being smart by having Claude create a PDF with all the information I figured we needed for the get-together, but after trying Gemini in Google Maps, using Claude to pick felt like a shot in the dark. Google added Gemini to Google Maps on March 12, 2026, and now I can see all the advantages I was missing by using Claude instead.

Well, it's finally here. After OpenClaw set the world on fire in late 2025 and showed us all what an agentic system can do, companies have been scrambling to get their own automatic assistant out the door.

When running multiple services, platforms, and operating systems, one wouldn't be blamed for immediately considering virtual machines (VMs). They're easy to set up and forget, but there are some problems that arise from using multiple VMs within a home lab setting. With the increased availability of Linux containers (LXCs), largely with Proxmox and the release of TrueNAS 26, there's almost a better way for running self-hosted services. Linux containers won't be the greatest choice for everything, but I moved most of my home server to LXCs, and I'm not looking back.

Sony ended its big State of Play showcase with a major reveal: the next God of War. The new title is called God of War Laufey, and is once again developed by Sony's Santa Monica Studio. Currently, the game doesn't have a date, but it's coming to the PS5 whenever it does launch.This time, instead of perpetually furious dad Kratos, players will take control of Faye / Laufey, as the title implies. That means that while the tone of the game seems somewhat similar to past God of War titles, the gameplay looks quite different, with much more aerobatic action punctuated by magic instead of Kratos' heavy violence. Also, there's a giant, six-legged …Read the full story at The Verge.

Unlike a lot of people, I was never into playing video games. Sure, I’ve played a bunch of Minecraft (who hasn’t), but I never sunk that much time into any other titles. Whenever people ask what games I play, I always respond with the same “Oh, I’m not really into video games” and change the subject.

Let's say you're playing a competitive game on your ROG Ally X or Lenovo Legion Go. You drop your settings, cap the frame rate to 60fps, and lower the APU wattage to a conservative 12W. Yet somehow your battery percentage is still plummeting much faster than it does when you're playing a massive, visually demanding single-player title.

Big tech companies love raising their cloud subscription prices, but the amount of free space they give us has been frozen in time for years. Now, according to reports from Android Authority, Google is planning to reduce storage for new unverified accounts to just 5GB. You must provide a phone number to get 15GB free data. This makes it harder to rely on free Google accounts as a long-term storage solution.

At its big State of Play show on Tuesday, Sony shared new look Marvel's Wolverine, the next big title from Insomniac Games that's launching exclusively on PS5 on September 15th. Dressed in the iconic yellow Wolverine outfit, Logan slunk around and stabbed his way through a bunch of enemies, using his blades to take them out. Combat looked weighty and satisfying - though the game is extremely bloody, with red flying everywhere as Logan fought his opponents. Wolverine has been a long time coming, with Sony and Insomniac initially announcing the game all the way back in 2021. At the time, details were scarce. But Sony finally showed off some …Read the full story at The Verge.
