AMD is going first out of the big PC gaming tech companies in rolling out its plans for 2024, with its CES livestream kicking off today at 7am PT/10am ET, and 3pm UK time. The general information on the event is pretty vague, and as the “Advancing AI PCs” title suggests, it’s leaning heavily into…
Switch sales increase by 37% over November. The latest GfK data puts EA Sports FC 24 at the top of the physical and digital pile for December 2023 for the UK (thanks, GamesIndustry). Thanks to a bunch of sales and discounts, the latest entry in EA’s not-FIFA-but-still-basically-FIFA franchise took the lion’s share of 6.9 million…
You know what wireless headsets need? That’s right, near infinite battery life, and we’re one step closer to that goal with 3M’s solar powered comms headset which has just been announced at CES this week. While there’s a tendency for those of us in the PC gaming space to see CES as a place to…
Final Fantasy 14’s third and final Fan Festival of the Endwalker expansion just took place in Tokyo over the weekend.

Final Fantasy 14: Dawntrail is meant to be a narrative reset. Considering Endwalker had us travelling to the edge of the universe on an actual spaceship to throw hands with nihilism incarnate and save… well, everything? It’s warranted. Director and producer Naoki Yoshida (Yoshi-P) has called it “the very best summer vacation a hero could…
Ebisumaru and Dragon King also join the fight. If you have been keeping up to date with your Super Smash Bros. news in recent years (and why wouldn’t you?) then you may have heard of ‘Smash Remix‘, a mod project led by The_Smashfather which has been progressively adding more playable fighters to the game. Well,…
