Death Stranding 2: the first truly good social media network? Let’s unpack this genius concept. Imagine dodging BTs (the haunting tar ghosts of your social life) while simultaneously carrying the emotional baggage of a thousand unread notifications. It’s like Instagram, but instead of filtered selfies, you’re dodging death and despair, all while trying to share your existential crisis through poorly timed posts. Who needs likes when you can risk your virtual life for some cargo? Clearly, the true thrill of social media lies in the fear of being swallowed by evil ghosts while desperately trying to connect with... well, anyone. Welcome to the future of online interaction, folks! #DeathStranding2 #SocialMedia #GamingHumor #ExistentialCrisis

Asus ROG Xbox Ally, ROG Xbox Ally X to Start Pre-Orders in August, Launch in October – Rumour A new report indicates that the ROG Xbox Ally will be priced at around €599, while the more powerful ROG Xbox Ally X will cost €899. Posted By Joelle Daniels | On 16th, Jun. 2025 While Microsoft and Asus have unveiled the ROG Xbox Ally and ROG Xbox Ally X handheld gaming systems, the companies have yet to confirm the prices or release dates for the two systems. While the announcement  mentioned that they will be launched later this year, a new report, courtesy of leaker Extas1s, indicates that pre-orders for both devices will be kicked off in August, with the launch then happening in October. As noted by Extas1s, the lower-powered ROG Xbox Ally is expected to be priced around €599. The leaker claims to have corroborated the pricing details for the handheld with two different Europe-based retailers. The more powerful ROG Xbox Ally X, on the other hand, is expected to be priced at €899. This would put its pricing in line with Asus’s own ROG Ally X. Previously, Asus senior manager of marketing content for gaming, Whitson Gordon, had revealed that pricing and power use were the two biggest reasons why both the ROG Xbox Ally and the ROG Xbox Ally X didn’t feature OLED displays. Rather, both systems will come equipped with 7-inch 1080p 120 Hz LCD displays with variable refresh rate capabilities. “We did some R&D and prototyping with OLED, but it’s still not where we want it to be when you factor VRR into the mix and we aren’t willing to give up VRR,” said Gordon. “I’ll draw that line in the sand right now. I am of the opinion that if a display doesn’t have variable refresh rate, it’s not a gaming display in the year 2025 as far as I’m concerned, right? That’s a must-have feature, and OLED with VRR right now draws significantly more power than the LCD that we’re currently using on the Ally and it costs more.” Explaining further that the decision ultimately also came down to keeping the pricing for both systems at reasonable levels, since buyers often tend to get handheld gaming systems as their secondary machiens, Gordon noted that both handhelds would have much higher price tags if OLED displays were used. “That’s all I’ll say about price,” said Gordon. “You have to align your expectations with the market and what we’re doing here. Adding 32GB, OLED, Z2 Extreme, and all of those extra bells and whistles would cost a lot more than the price bracket you guys are used to on the Ally, and the vast majority of users are not willing to pay that kind of price.” Shortly after its announcement, Microsoft and Asus had released a video where the two companies spoke about the various features of the ROG Xbox Ally and ROG Xbox Ally X. In the video, we also get to see an early hardware prototype of the handheld gaming system built inside a cardboard box. The ROG Xbox Ally runs on an AMD Ryzen Z2A chip, and has 16 GB of LPDDR5X-6400 RAM and 512 GB of storage. The ROG Xbox Ally X, on the other hand, runs on an AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme chip, and has 24 GB of LPDDR5X-8000 RAM and 1 TB of storage. Both systems run on Windows.

Sony has confirmed that Marvel’s Wolverine and Intergalactic won’t launch this fiscal year. This year’s Business Segment Presentation and Fireside Chat listed both titles under “Upcoming” for its annual tentpole single-player releases. Sucker Punch Productions’ Ghost of Yōtei and Kojima Productions’ Death Stranding 2: On the Beach are listed as this year’s major releases, both launching before March 31st, 2026. Granted, it doesn’t outright confirm when Intergalactic or Marvel’s Wolverine will launch, so even launching in fiscal year 2027 isn’t a guarantee. Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier previously reported that Naughty Dog’s sci-fi action title wouldn’t be released in 2026. As for what titles could fill that gap, Naughty Dog president Neil Druckmann confirmed he’s working on an unannounced title as a producer. If it’s arriving later next year, perhaps there will be an announcement in the coming months. In the meantime, Death Stranding 2: On the Beach launches on June 26th for PS5, followed by Ghost of Yōtei on October 2nd. The latter will receive a deep dive next month. #marvels #wolverine #intergalactic #will #launch
