In addition to first-party titles like Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza, several third-party developers announced their games for the Switch 2 at the presentation. Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer has now said in he intends to support the new console with Xbox games, too.Phil Spencer on Switch 2In a new interview with Variety, Spencer talked about Microsoft's plans for Nintendo Switch 2 and said the platform offered the Xbox parent a way to reach new players.“So we've been supporting Switch 1, I want to support Switch 2. Nintendo has been a great partner. We think it is a unique way for us to reach players who aren't PC players, who aren't players on Xbox,” the Xbox chief said.“It lets us continue to grow our community of people that care about the franchises that we have, and that's really important for us to make sure we continue to invest in our games.“I'm really a big believer in what Nintendo means for this industry and us continuing to support them. And getting the support from them for our franchises, I think, is an important part of our future.”Xbox Games Rumoured for Nintendo Switch 2Spencer has previously confirmed that Xbox would support Nintendo's new console. While Microsoft did not announce any of its games for the Switch 2 at the Nintendo Direct presentation on April 2, but some Xbox titles have been reported to be coming to Nintendo's new console.Earlier this year in January, industry insider NateTheHate had shared his predictions for Xbox and its games in 2025, where he said that Xbox exclusives Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 and Halo: The Master Chief Collection would launch on Nintendo Switch 2 and PS5.A separate Windows Central report at the same time, had claimed that Microsoft intended to double down on its multiplatform strategy in 2025 and launch more games on Sony and Nintendo's platforms. According to the report, first-party Xbox games like Senua's Saga: Hellblade II, Age of Mythology: Retold and potentially Gears of War: Ultimate Edition could arrive on PS5 and likely on Nintendo Switch 2 this year. Microsoft has not yet confirmed any of its games for the Switch 2 yet.But as Spencer mentioned in his latest interview, the Xbox parent has supported the Nintendo Switch platform in the past. Last year, in a pivot from its Xbox and PC exclusive launch strategy for its first-party games, Microsoft announced that four of its titles would launch on the Nintendo Switch and PS5.These four games — Pentiment, Sea of Thieves, Hi-Fi Rush and Grounded — later launched on both platforms and are currently available on the Switch. Microsoft is set to launch Bethesda's Indiana Jones and the Great Circle on the PS5 later this week after the game's initial release on PC and Xbox Series S/X.

The screen is being driven by the native DP 1.4 connection with G-Sync, while the HDMI output for TV goes through a DP to HDMI converter chip.

Maingear MG-1 will now be available with NVIDIA's latest 60-class GPUs from Blackwell family, featuring decently powerful specs for gaming at 1080p. Maingear Debuts MG-1 Silver and Gold Pre-Configured Systems Based on RTX 5060 and RTX 5060 Ti GPUs As NVIDIA launched its latest RTX 5060 series, several OEMs have announced their newest lineups of PCs featuring the latest Blackwell gaming GPUs. Maingear has debuted its newest gaming pre-built systems powered by both RTX 5060 and RTX 5060 Ti graphics cards. The company has been making pre-built systems using the latest AMD, NVIDIA, and Intel hardware and has just updated its MG-1 gaming system lineup. The MG-1 PCs will be available in Silver and Gold configurations and will feature both the newly launched RTX 5060 series GPUs to enhance gaming experience at 1080p and 1440p resolutions. Right now, only the RTX 5060 Ti-based MG-1 Gold configuration is available on the official Maingear website, but more will be coming soon. The RTX 5060 will officially hit the shelves next month. Therefore, Maingear's RTX 5060-based MG-1 systems will be available next month as well. The MG-1 with RTX 5060 Ti comes with AMD Ryzen 5 9600X, a powerful mid-range Zen 5 CPU that is an ideal choice to pair with the 5060 Ti. The system will feature 16 GB DDR5 6400 MT/s of memory and 1 TB of storage but can be upgraded as per requirement. The CPU will be cooled using an AIO solution and will be installed on an AMD B850 motherboard to enable overclocking. The price of this system with 16 GB/1 TB starts at $1699 and will include 1 year of warranty. The GeForce RTX 5060 Ti has been launched in two editions: 8 GB and 16 GB, carrying price tags as $379 and $429 respectively. Considering the Maingear MG-1 with RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB costs $1699, the rest of the configuration costs $1270, which is definitely more than what you would pay if you bought the components separately, but if you don't want to face the hassle of building the system, Maingear will be doing the job for you. As far as the performance of these systems goes, expect them to be ideal for both 1080p and 1440p gaming and will offer the latest Multi-Frame Generation and Transformer Model DLSS for improved performance and visual quality. The RTX 5060-based Maingear systems should cost $1500 with a similar configuration but you will have to wait for the next month. News Source: Maingear Deal of the Day

If you’re looking for a new gaming headset, one of our favorite models is currently discounted to its Black Friday price at Best Buy. The SteelSeries Arctis Pro Wireless is usually $279.99, but you can currently pick up a pair of these sick cans for just $139.99. While the Arctis Pro may not be quite as fancy as the current flagship gaming headset from SteelSeries, the Nova Pro Wireless, it still shares a number of significant features with its successor. These include virtual surround sound capability, and swappable battery packs. Just like the Nova Pro Wireless, the Arctis Pro comes packaged with a base station that can be tethered to either your PC, Nintendo Switch, or PlayStation via USB, and allows you to seamlessly swap between inputs in addition to charging the headsets battery packs. Primarily designed to be used with gaming consoles, the Arctis Pro Wireless also features an optical input, plus Bluetooth connectivity if you’d like to pair the headset with your phone. While the Arctis Pro is a little over six years old at this point, if something breaks or you want to swap out the headband for something more your style, SteelSeries still supports this headset with a robust collection of accessories and replacement parts.

TikTok is joining the ranks of social networks with Community Notes programs, which allow users to add context, corrections, and additional information to posts on the platform. The new feature is called Footnotes, and it will be rolled out first on short-form videos in the U.S. TikTok is just the latest app to add user-generated notes for existing content, though it has yet to drop formal fact-checking and other content moderation entirely. In February, Meta announced plans for a Community Notes beta to replace fact-checking on Facebook, Instagram, and Threads and is now admitting contributors from the program's waitlist. YouTube and X both have active Community Notes programs as well (X's Community Notes, formerly known as Birdwatch, replaced the option to report misleading content). According to TikTok's page explaining the program, Footnotes can only be added to public posts but will remain visible if those posts are made private. Creators can add footnotes to and rate footnotes on their own content if they are enrolled contributors. Footnotes must meet a threshold for "helpful" as rated by contributors before they become visible to all users (who can then vote on them as well). TikTok will still partner with IFCN-accredited fact-checking organizations to assess the accuracy of content on the platform. How to sign up to write TikTok FootnotesUsers in the U.S. can apply to write Footnotes starting today if they are at least 18 years old, have been on TikTok for six months or more, have a valid email address or U.S. phone number, and have no history of violating the platform's community guidelines within the last six months. TikTok may also notify users who meet these eligibility requirements, and those approved for the program can begin contributing "over the coming months."

Sony is jacking up PlayStation Plus prices in Canada. In an email to Engadget's Kris Holt, the company said the increase would apply to subscribers' first payments on or after June 24. The price hikes are now live on the PS Plus website for new Canadian subscribers. They vary depending on the tier and billing period but range from 12 to 22 percent higher than they were yesterday. The new Canadian prices for PS Plus Premium are CA$25 monthly (up from $21), $69 for three months (from $60) and — yikes — $225 for a year (from $190). Meanwhile, Extra members will now pay $21 monthly (from $18), $56 for three months (from $50) and $190 annually (from $155). Finally, Essential subscribers' prices go up to $14 monthly (from $12), $35 for three months (from $30) and $110 annually (from $95). Sony Other countries saw (previously announced) price increases go into effect on Wednesday. These include — deep breath — Australia, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru and Uruguay. So far, we haven't seen or heard of any US or UK price increases. The company didn't mention the elephant in the room — tariffs — in its email, instead justifying the price increase in vague terms. "This is necessary to enable us to continue bringing you high-quality games and benefits," it stated. But in a blog post last week announcing similar rate hikes in other countries, Sony perhaps hinted at the "T" word. "Like many businesses around the world, we continue to be impacted by global market conditions and will be adjusting our local prices for PlayStation Plus," Game Services Director Adam Michel wrote.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/gaming/playstation/sony-raises-playstation-plus-prices-in-canada-205342723.html?src=rss
