The Meta Quest 2 is arguably one of the best wireless virtual reality headsets currently available on the market, but its audio output has long been an area that has left gamers wanting more. Fortunately, Logitech is now here to bring you an even more immersive experience thanks to its new Chorus speakers. Boasting a sleek, lightweight design that weighs just 182 grams, the Chorus seamlessly connects to your Quest 2 by simply attaching to the device’s head strap, drawing power directly through a USB-C cable so you won’t need to bear the extra weight or hassle of an extra power source. The two speakers can rotate up and down depending on whether you’re using them or not, and the open-back design pairs with dual custom-tuned BMR drivers to provide accurate and clear off-ear acoustics, allowi...

Having signed a multi-year deal with 2K Games last March, it only makes sense that Tiger Woods has been chosen to stunt on the cover for the second edition of 2K’s reimagined golf series. This will be the first time that Tiger has featured in a video game since Tiger Woods PGA Tour 14. A quick teaser video posted on Monday from the official PGA Tour 2K Twitter account depicted a golfer from the waist down wearing what looked to be the Air Jordan 4 Retro “Pure Money,” which seems like an appropriate choice for draining putts. While the teaser led some to believe that the game will be released next Monday, 2K clarified that this is the date to expect more details on the upcoming game. Woods’s inclusion alone should satisfy gamers, given that a past criticism of the franchise was a lack of re...

Sony could soon be following in the footsteps of Valve, Blizzard and Epic Games by creating its own launcher for PC ports of its PlayStation games. The reference to a PC launcher was discovered by data miners who were going through code from Marvel’s Spider-Man: Remastered, a game that launched as a PlayStation exclusive back in 2018 but has since made its way to Windows via Steam. The move probably doesn’t come as a surprise as Sony is moving more and more of its titles over onto PC, with games such as Horizon: Zero Dawn also listed on Steam. It’s unclear for now whether the Japanese gaming giant will indeed create its own launcher and whether PlayStation titles will then move exclusively to it, but if so, it’ll also likely feature a storefront so players can make purchases and ...

Microsoft hasn’t shared sales numbers for Xbox consoles since 2016 but according to recent court documents from Microsoft, the console is being heavily outperformed by the PlayStation 4. Most people already knew that Microsoft’s Xbox One wasn’t as popular as Sony’s PS4. The consoles were both released in 2013, putting the companies in direct competition with one another. According to recent court documents submitted to Brazil’s national competition regulator, which were then translated by The Verge, Xbox One sales were half of that of the PS4. “Sony has surpassed Microsoft in terms of console sales and installed base, having sold more than twice as many Xbox in the last generation,” Microsoft in the document, translated from Portuguese by The Verge. As of March 2022, Sony reported that it ...

Priced at $49.99 USD, the Mo...

As the gaming industry continues to grow immensely thanks to microtransactions, the feature has come under fire from both players and regulators alike in recent years, with some research even indicating that its effects are similar to that of gambling addictions. Despite these criticisms, however, EA Sports is now insisting that FIFA players actually love loot boxes. In a statement from the publishing giant to Eurogamer, EA claims that FIFA Ultimate Team packs are core to the game’s experience and the fan base actually prefers to have them. “We wholeheartedly believe that Ultimate Team and FUT Packs, which have been part of the game for more than a decade, are a part of FIFA that players love,” the company writes. “Fans love that the game reflects the real-world excitement and strateg...

A new Lord of the Rings game is in the works at Weta Workshop. Teaming up with publisher Private Division, the studio announced the news of a “new game set in the literary Middle-earth universe of J.R.R. Tolkien.” Few details were revealed about the title but it’s reportedly still in the early stages of development and could be released as early as March 2024. Fans should note that the game is taking place in the literary Middle-earth, meaning that the game’s storyline will likely stay closer to Tolkien’s plot in the book, compared to the plots of the Lord of the Rings movies. Given that the Lord of the Rings novel is over one thousand pages in total, it’ll be interesting to see what direction Weta takes the game in and how they translate the detailed text into the game format. “It’s ...
