In an update early last month, Battlefield 6 accidentally made a change everyone loved. The in-game description of XP Boosters was changed to say that they would now count down only while you’re actively playing a match, rather than in real time, as they have since launch. Wasting your precious boosts because you’ve had to…
LLMs can be most simply understood as sycophantic, ‘yes, and’ machines. To the surprise of very few, that’s gotten AI companies in hot water when LLM-based chatbots and AI agents attempt to answer users’ more unsavoury requests. So, AI companies have implemented safety guardrails that make fulfilling certain requests off limits. Unfortunately, these have proven…
Microsoft’s likely got another wave of layoffs and studio closures coming, it’s my displeasure to say—with multiple studios on the chopping block.

Built on the ReXGlue SDK, this recompilation works on Windows and Linux and converts…
With more to come! Mario Kart World was updated to ver. 1.7.0 last night. We covered the full patch notes earlier, but we think it’s worth highlighting the main feature for those who haven’t caught up yet: Nintendo’s added new Knockout Tour Rallies! As showcased in the above trailer, both the Drill Rally and the…
Oblivion Remastered is coming to the Switch 2 on August 11, as Bethesda announced with a trailer featuring a live-action Adoring Fan that conveniently shows as little gameplay as they can get away with. I would love it if, after all the work that’s presumably gone into getting it to run on the Switch 2,…
New Knockout tours, photo mode update and more. To end the month of June, Nintendo has released a new update for Mario Kart World on the Switch 2. Read the full article on nintendolife.com
Here’s what the critics had to say. Nintendo’s Splatoon Raiders Direct has now aired, and the final previews for this single-player title have officially gone live ahead of the launch on 23rd July 2026. If you haven’t already seen our own “hands-on” here on Nintendo Life, we’ve got high hopes for this new solo experience:…
