At least one analyst expects the price of Nintendo Switch 2 to increase in response to President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs. Research firm DFC Intelligence said Monday that it’s “modeling a 20% price increase over the next two years” for Switch 2, which could put the base price of the next-gen console as high as $540. Nintendo announced the launch price of Switch 2 at $449.99 last Wednesday, but that...

BDS, a pro-Palestinian human rights movement focused on pressuring Israel to comply with international law by promoting boycotts, divestment, and sanctions against the country and its economic partners, added Microsoft and Xbox to its list of targets on April 7. “Microsoft partners with the apartheid regime of Israel and its prison system,” the Palestinian BDS National Committee’s official statement explains. “It provides the Israeli military with Azure cloud and AI...

You’ll need to “hire a supply or medic specialist” as part of Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2’s Week 7 weekly quests. Doing so will reward you with a whopping 30,000 XP, so you might as well pick up one of these NPCs if you’re nearby to get that. Below, we explain where to find supply and medic specialist NPCs for hire in Fortnite. Where to find a supply or medic...

The C button is one of the Switch 2’s most talked-about features. First, it was because of the secrecy about what it does. Then, after the tell-all Direct showcase, where some of us were slightly deflated to learn its actual purpose (which is to initiate GameChat in any game, and GameShare with select titles), the discourse then shifted from curiosity to concern. It’s going to be a subscription-gated button after...

Not all art books are created equal. While some function as merely a rough compendium of sketches and concept art collected throughout the production of a game, movie, or television series, others rise to the height of being wholesale works of art — labors of love packed to the brim with creative insights and carefully constructed secrets, if not entire worlds unto themselves. The art book for South of Midnight,...

Nintendo’s Switch 2 has exactly one weird and exciting new feature: The Joy-Con 2 can be used like a mouse. And it works well — even on pants! But only a few titles so far have confirmed support for the new hardware, including Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, and a new game announced Monday: Mouse Work. Mouse Work is a party game for 1-4 players who can use the Joy-Con 2...

South of Midnight could debatably be called “South of Noon,” based on its release time in some time zones. South of Midnight is a Southern Gothic-inspired action adventure that’s also the next notable “Game Pass” release — a AA game that might fly under the radar but gets a boost by Xbox’s marketing apparatus for launching day one (albeit with staggered access) on Game Pass. So like Avowed, Atomfall, or...

We have a full view of Nintendo Switch 2 games now the April 2 Direct has come and gone — including a number of exclusives and launch titles, and that all-important release date for the console itself. It follows months of slim pickings following the console’s initial hardware-focused reveal in January, which also saw developers and publishers holding fire of their involvement until now. The following Switch 2 games list...

We’re less than two months away from the grand opening of Epic Universe, the brand-new park at the Universal Orlando Resort. Originally announced in 2019, the park, which joins the existing Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure, and Volcano Bay and is estimated to have cost over $7 billion, has been highly anticipated by theme park nerds like myself. And, as it turns out, the name is incredibly fitting. During a...
