The Xbox Series X remains a capable console, but buying one in 2026 has major drawbacks. Its price has risen from $499 to roughly $725–$900, while Game Pass has become more expensive and offers fewer benefits. Most Xbox games are also available on PC, and Sony’s PS5 Pro delivers stronger graphics, making the aging Series X harder to justify.

A new homebrew emulator, PS5SX2, lets jailbroken PS5 consoles play many PS2 discs with 4K upscaling, widescreen support and enhanced graphics. However, jailbreaking requires outdated firmware and permanently sacrifices PlayStation Network access, online multiplayer, the Store and newer games. Some CD-based PS2 titles also cannot run directly. With better emulation options available for PCs, Steam Decks and phones, modifying a PS5 offers little benefit and significant risks.

Foldable phones come in two main forms: clamshell and book-style. Clamshell models fold into compact squares, offer useful outer displays for notifications and quick information, and are easier to use with one hand. However, their internal screens provide no more space than regular smartphones. Book-style models open like books to reveal tablet-sized displays, making them better for videos, games, reading, web browsing, multitasking, and mobile productivity. They offer a more premium experience but are thicker, heavier, more fragile, and usually consume more battery. Both types support features such as dual-screen translation, camera previews, and hands-free positioning. The best choice depends on priorities: choose a clamshell phone for portability and fewer distractions, or a book-style model for immersive viewing and tablet-like functionality. Book-style devices may become more popular as consumers seek premium products with larger storage and combined phone-tablet capabilities.

Nintendo will stream its next Indie World showcase on October 28 at 10 a.m. ET. The approximately 15-minute presentation will highlight independent games coming to Nintendo Switch and Switch 2, following the previous showcase’s lineup of titles including Denshattack, Blue Prince and Mixtape.

PS5の2026年9月16日配信のシステムソフトウェア更新で、ボイスチャット中に話しているプレイヤーの名前を画面に表示できる機能が正式搭載された。初期設定では無効のため、パーティー参加後にコントロールセンターの「ボイスチャット」から「話者を表示」を選び、「名前を表示」をオンにする必要がある。表示位置も変更でき、最大16人のパーティーで話者を特定しやすくなる。Discordにも対応するが、ゲーム内ボイスチャットでは利用できない。

Pokémon Unite will shut down on March 23, 2027, after nearly six years of service. The game launched on Switch in 2021 before expanding to mobile with cross-platform play. Gem sales and memberships have ended, while a final update will add a farewell event and an offline Library feature.

Grand Theft Auto VI reportedly requires 210GB of storage on PlayStation 5, according to a dataminer corroborated by Insider Gaming. The large download may increase with a day-one patch. Preloading begins November 12, ahead of the game’s November 19 release.

『GTA 6』が11月19日に発売される中、英国内のロックスター・ゲームズ従業員は11月12~26日に、英国独立労働者組合(IWUGB)支部の承認を問う投票を実施する。可決すれば英国ゲーム業界最大の公認組合となる。約30人の組合員らが解雇された問題を巡る法廷闘争も11月17~18日に結審予定で、組合つぶしの疑いと会社側の守秘義務違反主張が対立している。

The PS5’s USB ports support much more than controller charging. External SSDs or HDDs can store PS5 games for archiving and run PS4 games, while separate FAT32 or exFAT drives can save screenshots, videos, and system backups. USB connections also pair and charge DualSense controllers, power PS VR2, cameras, wired or wireless headsets, racing wheels, fight sticks, keyboards, and mice. The console can play video files from compatible USB drives and use USB hubs, though some devices may not function through them. Fast USB ports should be used for demanding accessories and external storage, while the slower USB 2.0 port is better suited to charging.

英国のworldmodeldataは、ゲームの映像とコントローラー操作データをAIの「世界モデル」学習に活用し、現実世界で行動できるAIの開発を目指す。ゲーム由来の大量かつ多様なデータは、学習用データ不足を補い、例外的状況への対応力を高める可能性がある。一方、ゲーム内の物理法則は現実より簡略化されており、繊細な物体操作への応用には限界がある。ゲームデータが世界モデル実用化の契機となるかは、なお検証段階である。

Android Auto officially supports games as of September 2026, allowing users to play during downtime while the car is parked. More than 35 titles are currently available, including Angry Birds 2, Candy Crush Soda Saga, Beach Buggy Racing, educational games, and GameSnacks. Games cannot be played while driving or waiting at traffic lights, and they disappear when the car starts moving. Android Auto also does not support unrestricted phone-screen mirroring, but compatible games are optimized for the vehicle display and may support controllers. To use the feature, install an Android Auto-compatible game from Google Play, connect the phone to the car by USB or wirelessly, and open the game from the Android Auto screen. If it does not appear, add it through Android Auto’s launcher customization settings. Some titles may be difficult to play using the touchscreen alone, so a controller can improve the experience.

Building a PC comparable to the Xbox Series X remains more expensive than buying the console. New parts cost about $1,012, or roughly $1,200 after adding Windows and a controller, while used components reduce the total to around $730–$900. Falling GPU prices have narrowed the gap since 2020, but high memory and storage costs keep PCs expensive. Used hardware carries risks, and refurbished Series X consoles offer better value for gaming. The PC premium is justified only for buyers who also need a general-purpose computer.

『Ghost of Yōtei』を開発したSucker Punch Productionsが、10月26日に24人の従業員を解雇した。市場環境の厳しさと次回作のチーム編成を理由に、複数の職種を削減したという。同作は発売初月に330万本を売り、最近は好評の拡張版も発売したが、ゲーム業界では大規模な人員削減が続いている。親会社ソニーは翌週に決算を発表する予定である。

Valve’s Steam Frame is a comfortable, well-designed VR headset with excellent multipurpose controllers, sharp visuals, wide viewing angles, and smooth refresh rates. It supports both stand-alone VR gaming and 2D games on a huge virtual cinema screen. However, its $1,059 price is high, battery life is very short, and performance varies widely across locally installed games. Some titles crash, stutter, or fail to load properly, while demanding games exceed the hardware’s capabilities. Compatibility listings are limited and inconsistent, with even Half-Life: Alyx oddly absent despite running well. Streaming from a more powerful computer is intended to solve these limitations, but pairing and network performance are also unreliable. The Steam Frame delivers impressive hardware and immersive experiences, yet it feels unfinished as a dependable gaming platform. Its strengths are undermined by inconsistent software support, weak battery endurance, and a costly price, resulting in a respectable but unconvincing 7/10 rating.

WIRED rates the LG B6 OLED TV 7/10. It offers affordable OLED quality, deep blacks, easy setup, useful features, and excellent 120-Hz gaming performance. However, its brightness, contrast, color saturation, and Wi-Fi standard lag behind newer Micro RGB and competing models. WebOS is functional but the pointer-enabled remote is frustrating. At $1,300, the B6 is a capable entry-level OLED, but the brighter LG C6 costs only $200 more and delivers significantly better value.

An old Chromebook can remain useful even after being replaced. It can serve as a second monitor through apps such as Duet, or become a digital photo frame. It can also control smart-home devices through Google Home or Home Assistant. Installing Linux expands its potential, allowing it to function as a small media or file server with Plex or Jellyfin, or as a portable retro-gaming machine with Batocera. Users who do not want to replace the operating system can use ChromeOS’s built-in Linux environment, Crostini, though performance may be limited on older hardware. These options help extend the Chromebook’s life and reduce the need to buy additional devices.

PlayStation Plus launched in 2010 at $50 per year, offering monthly games, DLC, beta access and trial versions without requiring online multiplayer. Prices rose in 2016, and Sony introduced Essential, Extra and Premium tiers in 2022. In 2026, Essential costs $80 annually, Extra $135 and Premium $160, with online play, monthly games, game catalogs and retro-game streaming.

IPv4 addresses ran out because its 32-bit system provides only about 4.3 billion addresses. Home routers and internet providers use NAT to let many devices share one public IPv4 address, but carrier-grade NAT can cause problems for peer-to-peer applications such as online gaming. IPv6 solves this with 128-bit addresses, providing an enormous supply and allowing devices to connect more directly. About half of Google users now access the service through IPv6, although adoption varies significantly by country and internet provider. Most modern routers support IPv4 and IPv6 simultaneously through dual-stack operation. Enabling IPv6 may improve connectivity for gaming and supports technologies such as Matter and Thread, but it does not make Wi-Fi faster. Users should confirm that their ISP supports IPv6 and enable the router’s IPv6 firewall because NAT no longer provides the same protection. IPv4-only devices continue to work normally, while VPNs that support only IPv4 may expose IPv6 traffic. If a current network works well, changing settings is unnecessary, but IPv6 support and firewall protection should be considered when replacing a router.

8BitDoのボタンのみで操作する格闘ゲーム向けアーケードコントローラー「Arcade Controller Pro」の予約受付が始まった。価格は119.99ドルで、11月30日から出荷予定である。従来機よりボタンを小型化・密集配置し、プログラム可能なボタンを増加した。1.47インチ画面で入力確認やボタン割り当て、RGB照明を設定できる。着脱式リストレストや3000mAhバッテリーも備える。

In 2026, the cheapest mainstream new gaming console is Nintendo’s Switch Lite at $230. It offers access to a large library, including major Nintendo, indie, and third-party games, but it cannot play Switch 2 exclusives or connect to a TV. Sony and Microsoft consoles start at $500–$600 and lack physical games on their cheaper digital models, while the Switch 2 also costs $500. Handheld PCs are more expensive, generally starting around $600, but stores such as Steam and GOG offer much cheaper games and frequent discounts. Therefore, the Switch Lite has the lowest upfront cost, but a handheld PC may be more economical for players who plan to build a large game collection.

The roundup spotlights Steam Next Fest demos, including Emberville and Golden Retriever Simple Life. Peak reaches consoles, while hockey roguelite Tape to Tape, co-op shooter Mycopunk and free horror game Cucina Stellata also stand out.

Ken Kutaragi, who led development of the original PlayStation, PS2 and PS3, understands players’ anger over Sony’s plan to end physical PS5 game production in 2028 but agrees that discs are becoming economically impractical. He says discs symbolize game ownership, while modern players increasingly trust digital access. Sony reports that digital sales already account for 82% of full-game sales, making physical software less than 4% of game revenue. Kutaragi believes Sony now views PlayStation as a content terminal shaped by streaming technology. Former executives hold mixed opinions, while a proposed U.S. bill seeks to recognize purchased games as owned and require offline functionality after server shutdowns.

Windows 11でPCゲームの動作を改善するには、不要なバックグラウンド機能を停止する方法がある。Xbox Game Barの常駐、Windows Searchの拡張検索、OneDriveなどのクラウド同期をゲーム中に無効化し、SysMainも停止候補となる。ただし効果は限定的で、フレームレート向上にはGPUなどの強化が必要である。重要なサービスを不用意に止めず、未使用のスタートアップアプリも整理するべきである。

The $700 MacBook Neo offers strong value by pairing macOS with a repurposed A18 Pro iPhone chip. It handles browsing, streaming, photo editing, and light gaming well, but its five-core GPU, 8GB of RAM, and limited ports restrict demanding work such as advanced video effects, newer games, and professional applications. The MacBook Air remains a better long-term choice because it provides an M5 chip, at least 16GB of RAM, faster USB 4 and Thunderbolt 4 connectivity, and MagSafe charging. A 2027 Neo refresh is expected to feature the A19 Pro chip and 12GB of RAM, which should improve performance and longevity. Buyers who need a laptop immediately can choose the current Neo, preferably refurbished, while others should wait for the next generation.
