PC gamers get to enjoy a fresh lick of paint to their Steam libraries today – Valve has announced that September’s Steam library redesign beta is now available to all. With a greater focus on rich artwork, it’s designed to give you a better look at the games you’re playing – and new games you may want to. (Image credit: Future)Remote Play Together expansionThe update also expands the reach of Steam’s new Remote Play Together feature. Remote Play Together allows you to host what would usually be

Apex Legends is finally getting a Duos mode – but for a limited time only. Developer Respawn Entertainment announced on Twitter that the new Duos mode will launch next week, on November 5, for all platforms. Duos mode will allow players to team up with one other player to take on other pairs, much like squads but with less people. To date, we haven’t seen any of Apex Legends’ limited-time modes become permanent features in the game – but that’s not to say it could never happen. There’s no word y

Steam has kicked off its Halloween Sale with some impressive discounts on horror games of one vein or another, and indeed some major price cuts for non-Halloween-related titles as well. The sale runs from now through to November 1, so you have until Friday to make your move if you’re tempted to get a piece of the price-slashing action. While the games involved may not be quite as high-profile as Steam’s big summer and winter sales, there are still some gems to be had with major discounts. Some g

It’s fair to say that the relative success of Apple Arcade, the iPhone maker’s game subscription service that offers unlimited access to close to 100 games for a monthly fee, has taken some by surprise. But Apple Arcade is changing that perception. The key factor here (along with games well suited to bite-sized mobile play sessions) is variety – no two Apple Arcade games are truly alike, and all have a distinct, artsy aesthetic that appeals to the Apple subset. And, based on what we saw at a rec

The rumors were true – EA games are finally returning to Steam. Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order will be the first EA game released on Valve’s platform in six years, with pre-orders for the title already live on Steam. And it’s not the only EA title coming to the platform. (Image credit: EA)Not only will EA be bringing its games to Steam but it’ll also be bringing it’s premium game subscription service: EA Access. EA Access on Steam is set to cost the same as on console: $4.99 / £3.99 / AU$6.99 a mo

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Gunfight is the newest mode to hit the extraordinarily popular FPS series. To help you out, here are some Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Gunfight tips. You’ll spawn in and see a countdown happening, have a look at your weapons and be ready to move as soon as you’re able to do so. Due to the small spaces, you’ll be navigating in many of the Gunfight maps; you’ll want to be able to look around quickly. The audio cues in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare are pretty good, and y

Easy to set up and ready to be voice controlled in minutes, the TP-Link KL50 filament smart bulb is great value.

In what could be the beginning of the end for Samsung Cloud, the phone maker has flicked the switch on its collaboration with OneDrive, meaning that photos and videos on Galaxy Note 10 devices are now synced to Microsoft’s service (and more Samsung phones will follow). Specifically, as announced back in August, the functionality introduced is for Samsung Gallery to sync with OneDrive and automatically back up photos and videos to Microsoft’s cloud storage locker. As Tizen Help reports, the featu

Netflix is testing a feature that lets you watch movies and TV shows at up to 1.5 times the normal speed – and the film industry isn’t happy about it. The option to tweak playback speed is currently being tested with Android users, reports Android Police. There is NO WAY Netflix will move forward with this. In a statement about the feature, Netflix said: “We’re always experimenting with new ways to help members use Netflix. This test makes it possible to vary the speed at which people watch show

The new AirPods Pro have already impressed in a number of ways in our early testing – we need to spend more time assessing them, but already the Pro earbuds feel like a marked step up over the original AirPods. Apple’s latest buds are a lot more expensive, with the AirPods Pro costing far more than the AirPods 2 that launched in 2018, and even more than the Powerbeats Pro. The important thing to note here is that the AirPods Pro are not a replacement for the 2019 AirPods model… and that’s refl

The original Moto 360 (2014) was one of earliest impressive smartwatches, and while it was followed up by the Moto 360 (2015) and Moto 360 Sport, the range has long been dormant. That’s now changing though, as a third-generation new Moto 360 has just been announced. With all this tech though the Moto 360 doesn’t come cheap, retailing for $349.99 / £339 (around AU$510). A new Moto 360 release date has been confirmed for December, with pre-orders open in mid-November in the US, Canada and the UK.

Now that Nvidia Turing graphics cards have been out for a while, it’d be easy to just assume Nvidia was done with the lineup, working tirelessly on the rumored Ampere graphics cards. Nvidia has announced two new graphics cards in the Turing lineup: the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 Super and the GeForce GTX 1650 Super. So, what makes the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 Super and GTX 1650 Super so much different than their non-Super predecessors? Both new graphics cards have been upgraded to use much faster GD

Facebook is rolling out a new “Preventative Health” tool that will prompt you to book a flu shot, get your blood pressure tested and check your cholesterol. Facebook has therefore decided to step in early and explain exactly how it will (and won’t) use information about your well-being. “Your activity within Preventive Health will not be posted publicly or shared with others,” Facebook says. You can tell friends and family about Preventative Health on your news feed, but doing so won’t share you

We may be eagerly anticipating the next-generation PS5 console but it seems Sony’s looking even further afield, with plans – or at least the names – for consoles right up to the PS10. Spotted by Gematsu, Sony has filed trademarks for PS6, PS7, PS8, PS9, and PS10 in Japan. (Image credit: Sony)Sony has a habit of locking in its future console trademarks early. As Gematsu points out, the PS5 was trademarked way back in 2006 and isn’t releasing until late 2020. But we’re definitely excited to see wh

Canon’s new EOS M6 Mark II is a portable powerhouse: it fits easily into any bag, making it an ideal traveling companion. In fact, even the company’s EOS RP full-frame mirrorless snapper (pictured above) is small and light, despite its large lens mount. However, Canon seems to think it’s possible to shrink the size of its mirrorless cameras even further, if its latest patent application is anything to go by. (Image credit: Canon)Going by the diagrams in the patent, particularly the size of the l

It’s not just human eye autofocus (AF) and tracking that Sony’s superb mirrorless cameras excel in – even animal eye AF is on offer to those who love to capture the antics of their pets. Sony Japan has announced that a new firmware update has been “scheduled” that will add real-time animal eye AF for stills to the Sony Cyber-shot RX10 IV. According to a translation of the announcement, the update will not only allow the camera to lock onto an animal’s pupil, but also improve the existing eye AF
