This is it folks, the countdown has not only begun but it is about to finally, after nearly a decade of waiting, end – Hollow Knight: Sliksong will be live on all platforms this morning.

IFA 2025 announcements have started flowing, and Aukey is jumping in on the action alongside other brands like Anker to showcase its new modular charging solution called MagFusion Ark.

Remember when the only thing it seemed like robot vacuums couldn’t do was just go up the stairs? They used to be really good at falling down the stairs, but then the engineers got pretty good at stopping them from doing that, and now, courtesy of Anker’s Eufy labs, there’s a new MarsWalker ready for prime time in 2026 that can literally walk your robot vacuum up the stairs for you. 

Anker is landing at IFA with a new family of Prime power gear.

Nintendo has been on a bit of a roll when it comes to adding to new titles to its classic game libraries for Switch Online members, and the next one has now been revealed.

It just recently confirmed the GameStop price leak at $19.99 here in the U.S. across what appears to be all platforms (as well as the launch times on September 4), but what does this mean for Nintendo Switch 2?

It’s been an exciting summer for LEGO, as we’ve seen massive waves of new building sets release over the last few months with regular unveilings of new sets happening in between. Following the 107 new releases we saw hit the scene last month, September is geared up to be a much smaller event, though one stacked with plenty of standouts that already have builders champing at the bits – with some already available to preorder too. Of course, there are four different Gift With Purchase rewards that will be popping up for Harry Potter and the recently revealed Pirates of the Caribbean sets. You can get the full rundown below and start planning (or preordering) what will be joining your collection once the clock ticks over to September.

While not all of those offers are still be up for grabs through today, many of them are and you will find them all ready and waiting down below.

After many years of waiting, we are now only 5 days away from the release of the most highly-anticipated indie game (maybe ever) – Hollow Knight: Silksong. We finally know when the game will launch and even got a new trailer recently with a decent look at the game, but we still don’t know the price of it – unless a recent GameStop listing that surfaced is be to believed. 

It’s been an exciting summer of massive LEGO releases and new reveals, and hot on the heels of the previous unveiling of LEGO’s Icons Captain Jack Sparrow’s Pirate Ship, the LEGO Group is bringing us a look at the next Ideas set that is inspired by another movie franchise – and one of my favorite Christmas movies – the 21361 Gremlins: Gizmo set. And it’s even open for preorders now too! Head below to get the rundown on this upcoming build alongside the photos we’ve collected.

Bose debuted the second-generation QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds recently and we have now had a chance to test them out ahead of today’s pre-order launch. Frankly, the now previous models are still a wonderful set of buds that can mostly go toe-to-toe with the best of them – we weren’t even sure if we wanted Bose to change anything. But with some subtle tweaks here and there, enhancements to its already world-class noise cancellation tech, better call quality, and fine tuned audio, one of the best just got even better.

My old noisy treadmill recently broke down, and I was in the market for something new and smaller. I had the opportunity to test out a foldable treadmill called the T12 from Merach and found a fitness device that offers a stable workout in a significantly smaller footprint. I’ve shared my thoughts and provided an in-depth video review below.

Nintendo has officially announced the launch of the first-ever Animal Crossing x Crocs collaboration, and everything is now available for purchase. While it might not be the Switch 2 Animal Crossing game we are all waiting for after rumors/leaks went live, these Animal Crossing Crocs clogs and Jibbitz seem like a perfect way to bring your island to life. 

A new report has surfaced claiming Nintendo will indeed host the next Nintendo Direct in the coming weeks. The Switch 2 has officially launched and has taken over the charts, and still we have not gotten a proper, full-on Nintendo Direct showcase since. But it looks like that’s about to change, and very soon now.

The new summer LEGO reveals just keep coming, and now, a few days after we got the announcement of the new Ideas 21360 Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory set, we’re getting another movie staple in the form of LEGO’s new Icons 10365 Captain Jack Sparrow’s Pirate Ship. Putting aside the missed opportunity to name it for what it is – The Black Pearl – this is a highly detailed rendition of the iconic ship and comes with plenty of characters you’d expect to populate it. Head below to learn more about this upcoming build and check out the collected photos.

The new Qi2.2 wireless charging standard is beginning to emerge and one of the first major brands out of the gate with a proper 3-in-1 MagSafe stand is Belkin.

This better be real. Just after the new LEGO Game Boy went up for pre-order, and just ahead of its official release this fall, a new LEGO SEGA Genesis controller has surfaced online. There has been no official announcement as of yet, but imagery and details on a new LEGO Genesis gamepad have leaked online. 

As a long-time rider of Segway electric scooters, my expectations are quite high for new brands looking to climb their way up to the standard that the household-name has set in stone at this point. Only within the last few months did Navee come onto my radar, with the brand offering me the chance to test out its latest flagship model, the ST3 Pro Electric Scooter, which has been quite the surprise, to say the least. At first, it seemed like it was full of gimmicks that were destined to fail, but after riding around for several weeks now, I can happily say that Segway may just have found a new challenger. Head below to get my hands-on impressions of this high-end e-scooter that still retains accessible pricing for the stunning list of features.

The gamescom 2025 action rolls on today with hours (days) of Bethesda action. The Bethesda live streams will take place on Twitch and span throughout the day today and right through weekend. Rumor has it, after a “TBC” listing was spotted on its gamescom schedule recently, we might get a new game reveal as part of the event, and perhaps even the announcement of a new Fallout remake. 

Well, it finally happened. After seven long years of waiting and getting drip fed tiny bits of info, imagery, and a demo years ago now, Team Cherry hosted a special announcement on YouTube this morning that finally gave us what we have (all) been waiting for – the Hollow Knight Silksong release date! 

This summer has been quite busy for LEGO fans, as we’ve had some large quantities of new sets hitting the market over the last few months on top of plenty of new reveals, like the Disney 43279 WALL-E and EVE set that had everyone in their feelings over one of Pixar’s cutest couples. Today, the LEGO Group is revealing the upcoming Ideas 21360 Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory set, which is one that’s been a year in the making since being chosen by the LEGO Review Board last August. Head below to get the rundown on what to expect and check out the photos we’ve collected.

Just before Hollow Knight Silksong takes center stage later this morning for a special announcement of its own, the Xbox gamescom livestream broadcast will kick into gear for day 2 of the world’s biggest gaming show. Yesterday’s livestream was loaded with game reveals, updates on upcoming titles, and we even got the official release date for the upcoming Xbox ROG Ally and ROG Ally X handhelds. 

Update: Hollow Knight Silksong officially releases on September 4, 2025.

After being confirmed as an official sequel way back in 2019, with development starting before that to some degree, it’s been a very long wait for Hollow Knight: Silksong. After years of no-shows at gaming events and showcases, and becoming one of most wishlisted titles on Steam ever, it looks as though Team Cherry is finally ready to break the silence in a major way and finally give us the good news. 

The big summer game showcases came and went, and still no release date or even a proper look at the long-awaited Hollow Knight: Silksong. But gamescom 2025 is here, and so is Silksong. We still didn’t get a proper look or a release date for the bigger-than-indie 2D side-scrolling adventure at the Opening Night Live event yesterday, but industry darling and Game Awards boss Geoff Keighley did specifically say that it is “100%” for sure releasing this year, and we are almost certainly going to get the actual launch date tomorrow morning. 

Those old traditional power banks are on their way out in favor of what look to be much safer and more reliable semi-solid state models. There has been issues for years in some capacity or other, but with recalls surfacing on once universally accepted power banks with traditional Li-ion batteries seemingly ramping up, new solid models are the way of the future it would appear and STATIK just unveiled its new State Power Bank with some launch deals. 

After Sony decided to increase the price on PS5 hardware outside of the U.S. it seemed it was only a matter of time before the price hikes would land stateside, and that day has come. Sony has now taken to its official PlayStation Blog, right smack in the middle of the Xbox gamescom broadcast, to announce imminent price increases across the PS5 lineup – it begins tomorrow. 

Update: Best Buy has listed the new Xbox ROG Ally and ROG Ally X handhelds, briefly confirming the $549.99 and $899.99 prices in the backend. They’re not available to pre-order yet, though.

Microsoft has confirmed the launch date for its new Xbox handhelds. Both the ROG Xbox Ally and ROG Xbox Ally X will officially arrive on October 16, though pricing and pre-order details still remain under wraps. The timing lines up with earlier expectations and positions the handhelds to hit shelves just ahead of the holiday season.Hit the jump for more availability details and other info.

The 2025 gamescom festivities kicked off in major way yesterday with the Opening Night Live livestream, and today it’s Microsoft’s turn.

Check it out below. 

While it seemed like we were going to have to wait until the usual September slot for the next big Nintendo Direct, today is the day folks. After seeing two Nintendo livestream presentations in as many weeks with IndieWorld and the Partner Showcase, Nintendo did not make us wait all that long for its next big presentation, and this time it’s all about Kirby Air Riders. 

Nintendo has now officially announced the next Nintendo Direct. As part of an update that just landed on the official Nintendo Today! app, and likely to surface everywhere else momentarily, the Mario maker has confirmed another Nintendo Direct showcase for this week, and it’s all about the new Kirby Air Riders! 

The next big Switch 2 game release lands later this month with the updated version of Kirby on the Forgotten Land, but it’s the other Kirby game many of us are waiting on – the actual new Switch 2 exclusive Kirby game. There’s really only a few truly Switch 2 exclusive games left that are slated for 2025, and Kirby Air Riders is the only one we still know almost nothing about.
