Borderlands 4 is in a bit of an awkward spot currently. While the game is in many ways the best the series has seen, a relative lack of end-game content for hardcore fans and a plethora of performance issues especially at launch led to softer-than-expected sales. That said, the team at Gearbox appear committed to improving Borderlands 4, with the team now offering an updated roadmap for 2026.

Taking to their blog, the team at Gearbox officially showcased their full 2026 roadmap. While we knew some of what to expect from Borderlands 4’s post-launch plans (even prior to the game’s release), we’ve now gotten a more comprehensive look.

The first major update for 2026 is now live and includes the addition of a photo mode alongside dozens of tweaks, buffs, changes and fixes.

Looking to the future however, Borderlands 4’s 2026 is set to be as follows:

• Q1 2026
  • Bounty Pack 2 (paid)
  • Pearlescent rarity (free)
  • Story Pack 1 (paid)
• Q2 2026
  • Raid Boss 2 (free)
  • Takedown (free)
  • Bounty Pack 3 (paid)
• Q3 2026
  • Bounty Pack 4 (paid)
  • Bounty Pack 5 (paid)
  • Story Pack 2 (paid)

Each of these new pieces of content (both free and paid) will be released alongside a ‘major’ update. Other ancillary additions with no specific timeline include:

• Performance improvements
• Endgame and balancing updates
• New Endgame activities
• Cross-save and shared-progression
• Limited-time events

While the game certainly came in a bit hot, Borderlands 4 is a fun time and so it is encouraging to see the team at Gearbox try to address as many fans' complaints as possible – while still sticking to their initial plans.

KitGuru says: What do you think of this updated roadmap? What’s your opinion on Borderlands 4 in its current state? Does it have the potential to be the best entry in the series? Let us know your thoughts down below.

World War Z is a fun 3rd-person co-op shooter in the vein of Left4Dead and other horde shooters. Released back in 2019, the team at Saber Interactive have blessed the title with a ton of post-launch support – much of which was free. 4 months on from its last major update, the game has now gotten its first big crossover DLC, with World War Z x The Walking Dead available now.

Purchasable right now for the relatively low price of £7.99, World War Z x The Walking Dead offers a ton of content for fans of both Saber Interactive’s shooter as well as watchers of the show, adding:

• New Story Campaign with 3 chapters
  • The Prison
  • Alexandria Safe Zone
  • Grady Memorial Hospital
• 4 playable survivors
  • Rick Grimes
  • Daryl Dixon
  • Michonne
  • Negan

• Two melee weapons
  • Michonne’s Katana
  • Negan’s Bat Lucille
• Two weapon skins
  • Rick’s Revolver
  • Daryl’s Crossbow
• Visual overhaul of enemies to look like TWD’s ‘walkers’
• New special enemy ‘spiked walker’

While there have been a bunch of different games based on The Walking Dead, very few have been received well. As such, for many this represents what might be one of the better Walking Dead experiences out there – despite only being a crossover.

Rainbow Six: Siege is arguably one of Ubisoft’s biggest games of all time, with the now decade-old title continuing to make money in-part through its plethora of cross-overs. Following on from the likes of Chun-Li; Master Chief; 2B and even Pickle Rick, Solid Snake himself is set to join the Rainbow Six Siege roster.

Teasing their upcoming Year 11 Roadmap reveal event (going live on the 15th of February) Ubisoft offered a slight hint at what players can expect in the way of announcements.

Though very little was given away, we do know that the iconic Solid Snake himself is set to crossover into Rainbow Six: Siege.

Unlike all other crossovers, Snake is set to be a full-on operator as opposed to simply being a skin for a pre-existing character – meaning he should have his own unique abilities, equipment and more.

Unfortunately, we did not get to hear Snake speak in the teaser, and so it is unknown whether the operator will feature brand new voice lines (and who will voice him) or if they will simply reuse old audio. We will have to wait until the 15th of February to find out.

KitGuru says: Are you surprised to see Snake coming to Siege? Will he be voiced by David Hayter? Who’s your favourite operator? Let us know down below.

Team Ninja have been great in supporting their upcoming releases with free demos for all to check out and enjoy. Such has been the case with the Nioh series, offering various alpha, beta and timed-limited demos across its previous two entries. Following the initial Nioh 3 demo from last year, the studio has now released a more complete demo ahead of the game’s February release date.

With Nioh 3 just a week away from launch, Team Ninja have now published a brand new demo for the game, letting you try out the title for yourself ahead of its 6th of February release date.

Unlike the limited-time demo released back in June following its initial unveiling, this new demo is available on both PS5 and PC, and will allow you to transfer your save data over to the full game upon its release.

As expected, the demo features the opening section of the game and so switching over to the full release should be relatively painless. Those who do complete the demo prior to the 15th of February will also receive a bonus in-game item as a small reward.

While no end date has been given for this demo, Team Ninja have delisted various demos in the past, and so you might want to check Nioh 3 out for free while you can – even if you don’t plan on buying the title immediately.

Today we're checking out the AOC Agon Pro AG276QSG2. The model number may not make it immediately obvious, but this is a rather exciting monitor for one main reason – it supports Nvidia's new G-Sync Pulsar backlight strobing technology that was officially launched at CES 2026. It's built around a 27in 1440p IPS panel with a 360Hz refresh rate, so that alone sounds pretty competitive – but what does Pulsar bring to the table? We find out today.

12:17 Monitor design
13:36 Closing thoughts

First things first – pricing. The AOC AG276QSG2 is listed for pre-order on both Scan and OCUK for just under £560, making it the cheapest of the two other G-Sync Pulsar monitors that are currently listed here in the UK, given Acer's model is £600, and the ASUS is £629. Given all Pulsar monitors use the same panel, and considering Pulsar behaviour itself is tuned by Nvidia, performance between all three is likely to be near-identical, so the lower price alone could swing a lot of buyers towards this AOC model.

G-Sync Pulsar

But we're getting ahead of ourselves, so let's take a step back and first answer the question – what exactly is G-Sync Pulsar?

We don't need to go into too much depth here, as it was announced back at CES 2024, we got hands-on in April that year, and more recently Nvidia published an in-depth blog explaining exactly how the technology works.

In a nutshell, Pulsar is the combination of high-tech backlight strobing and G-Sync variable refresh rate technology. While some monitors have married adaptive sync and backlight strobing together in the past, Pulsar is a much more advanced system that is designed to dramatically improve perceived motion clarity throughout the VRR window.

At its most basic level, backlight strobing works by reducing the amount of time each frame is visible. With Pulsar, Nvidia says that the backlight is only pulsed for 25% of the frame time, meaning each image is only briefly illuminated once the pixels have fully settled. In theory, that 1/4 frame visibility translates into 4x lower persistence, and this is how the company claims ‘1000Hz+ effective motion clarity'.

The G-Sync integration is the added secret sauce. More basic backlight strobing implementations typically run at fixed refresh rates and fire the backlight at a fixed point in the refresh cycle, regardless of how long the GPU took to deliver the frame or how well the panel transitions have completed. That leads to the usual strobing artifacts we're used to seeing, like crosstalk, double images, and inconsistent clarity especially at lower refresh rates. Pulsar, however, is driven directly by the MediaTek scaler which now has G-Sync built in, so the display knows exactly when a frame starts, when pixel response has stabilised, and when to flash the backlight.

On top of that, Pulsar incorporates what Nvidia calls a ‘rolling scan'. By utilising multiple horizontal backlight strips that can be pulsed independently, Pulsar strobes different sections of the panel sequentially, rather than the whole panel being strobed at once. This should lead to dramatically reduced crosstalk and consistent clarity from top to bottom, something that isn't true for previous backlight strobing implementations.

Thermaltake has announced the TR300 Series Mid Tower Chassis, a new ATX lineup focused on space efficiency, airflow, and modern customisation. The range includes two models, the TR300 TG and TR300 WS, both available in black or white colour options.

The key difference between the TR300 TG and the TR300 WS is the front panel. The latter uses real wood slats at the front, while the TG uses a more standard mesh front panel. Both should offer good airflow for your intake fans, so choosing between them should primarily come down to whether or not you like the modern wood-PC fusion.

The chassis uses a front‑mounted PSU layout with an adjustable rack offering four mounting positions, improving internal space, airflow, GPU clearance, and radiator support. It accommodates up to ATX motherboards, with optimised PCIe slot placement to maintain proper GPU alignment. Cooling support includes up to eight 120mm fans and room for a 360mm radiator at the top.

Both models support Thermaltake’s optional 6‑inch LCD Screen Kit (1480 × 720), enabling system monitoring, JPG/GIF playback, AI Forge visuals, and mobile control via the TT PlayLink app. Additional features include removable dust filters, support for two 3.5‑inch HDDs and three 2.5‑inch SSDs, and front I/O with dual USB 3.0 Type‑A, USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type‑C, HD Audio, and dedicated power/reset buttons.

At CES earlier this month, Corsair officially revealed the Galleon 100 SD, a new full-size keyboard that replaces the numpad with Elgato Stream Deck functionality. Now following on from multiple ‘Best of CES' awards, the new keyboard is ready to hit the market.

The new Corsair Galleon 100 SD is a new full-size keyboard from Corsair, but rather than having a numpad, the keyboard has been equipped with a 12-key Elgato Stream Deck. Corsair says the device combines engineering from both Corsair and Elgato to meet long‑standing community requests for a single input solution that handles gameplay, apps, and device control.

The keyboard includes 12 LCD keys, two multifunction dials, and a 5‑inch colour display for real‑time system and game information. All controls are configured through the Stream Deck app, with support for folders, profile switching, and the full plugin ecosystem.

Beyond the Stream Deck features, the Galleon 100 SD uses Corsair’s AXON engine with polling rates up to 8000Hz, plus FlashTap SOCD handling for directional‑input control. The board ships with pre‑lubed MLX Pulse switches, gasket mounting, six layers of dampening, and an aluminium frame.

The Corsair Galleon 100 SD is now shipping worldwide as of today. Over in the US, it will cost $349.99. Here in the UK, it is retailing for £309.99 directly via Corsair's webstore.

Google's dream of Android for desktop is not dead yet. Recently, Aluminium OS (ALOS) leaked through a bug report on Google's Issue Tracker. This new feature appears to be a built-in Samsung DeX-style visualisation for Android 16.

The leak, which surfaced through screen recordings from an HP Elite Dragonfly Chromebook (via 9to5Google), shows a hybrid UI that blends the simplicity of Android with the heavy-duty multitasking capabilities of a desktop OS. The “Aluminium OS” interface features a recognisable Android taskbar at the bottom and a status bar at the top, complete with mobile-like WiFi and battery indicators. However, the functionality is purely desktop, supporting windowed applications, split-screen multitasking, and a Chrome browser with desktop extensions. You can see ALOS in action in the video uploaded by Android Authority.

This development suggests that Google may be looking to bridge the gap between Android and ChromeOS, potentially allowing future Android tablets and high-end phones to function as full-scale workstations when docked.

KitGuru says: Would you like to see Google offering Aluminium OS as standard for all Android-based devices? Would such a feature make you more inclined to choose Android over iOS?

Following a leadership shift involving one of its original co-founders, GOG is now apparently expanding its technical reach by developing a native Linux version of GOG Galaxy.

The move was revealed through a job posting (via The Bryant Review) for a Senior C++ Software Engineer, specifically tasked with building the application's architecture with Linux compatibility as a core priority “from day one”. This marks a major pivot for the platform, which has historically relied on community-driven or third-party tools, such as the Heroic Games Launcher, to serve Linux users.

The initiative aims to bring native high-value features such as cloud saves, automatic updates, and cross-platform library management (including Epic, Xbox, and Steam) to the Linux ecosystem.

While GOG has always been praised for its DRM-free standalone installers, the lack of a dedicated Linux client has been a significant point of friction for Steam Deck and Linux desktop users who want a unified experience. By designing for a “wide array of hardware” and prioritising long-term platform development, GOG signals that its Linux support will be a pillar of its commitment to preserving retro games.

In recent years, Sharkoon has been rolling out a series of office chairs. This month, the company is launching its best yet, the OfficePal C50 and C50M, both offering a classic mesh style suitable for offices, along with plenty of adjustments so you can dial it in for optimal posture support.

The OfficePal C50 features a breathable mesh backrest paired with a traditionally upholstered seat base. It also has 5D armrests that can be adjusted in five directions, giving users the freedom to fine‑tune arm support for typing, reading, or general desk work.

To support optimal ergonomics, the C50 offers adjustable seat depth, seat height, and a flexible backrest that can be adapted to individual requirements. An integrated lumbar support system and height‑adjustable headrest provide targeted support for the lower back and neck, helping maintain a healthy posture throughout the day.

The chair also includes a tilt function, enabling gentle movement while seated to promote circulation during long periods of sitting. A sturdy metal five‑star base and large 60mm casters ensure stability and smooth mobility across a variety of floor surfaces.

The OfficePal C50 and OfficePal C50M are now available at a recommended retail price of €299.90 each. While the standard C50 has an upholstered seat base, the C50M swaps this out for a mesh seat instead.

Cooler Master has showcased a new AIO liquid cooling concept at a recent event in Huizhou, China, breaking away from the traditional linear fan arrangement. Instead of the standard three-fan row, this massive workstation-oriented cooler features four 180mm fans arranged in a 2×2 square grid. This creates a radiator footprint of approximately 360 x 360mm, making it compatible with the manufacturer's recently announced Cosmos case.

According to ITHome (via VideoCardz), this AIO uses a dual-rotor pump and specialised “180×30” fans that reportedly reduce high-frequency noise by 20%. Most impressively, Cooler Master claims the whole cooling system can dissipate over 2000W of heat, positioning it as a specialised tool for extreme workstation builds rather than standard consumer PCs. The square shape presents unique mounting challenges, meaning this likely won't fit in your average mid-tower without some serious modifications.

While this remains a concept for now, the company confirmed that other AIO models shown at the event will hit the market in March, followed by the B360 TV, a CPU cooler featuring a 7-inch 16:9 display, in April 2026.

Discuss on our Facebook page, HERE.

KitGuru says: As expected from a 360 x 360 AIO cooler, it offers a massive amount of surface area to cool high-TDP CPUs. As far as we know, there isn't any commercially available CPU with a rated 2000W TDP that the cooler is ready for. Still, if it ever comes, Cooler Master is already prepared.

Last year, Amazon made the decision to stop development on its MMO, New World, and wind back its game development practices through major cuts at its studios. Now, Amazon Games VP, Christoph Hartmann, is leaving the company behind. 

Following a wave of layoffs at Amazon Game Studios last year, Jason Schreier reports that the long-running Vice President has stepped down. Christoph Hartmann had previously been the head of 2K Games under Take-Two, before leaving to help Amazon ramp up its own game development and publishing business more than eight years ago.

While Amazon Games has operated for more than a decade, it has only managed to successfully ship one in-house developed game. New World had a strong start but failed to retain its momentum post-launch. Amazon has had a bit more success in publishing, having served as the publisher for Lost Ark in the west. Currently, Amazon is also expected to publish the next Tomb Raider game from Crystal Dynamics.

Amazon underwent restructuring and cost-cutting efforts in October 2025, leading to more than 14,000 layoffs.

PlayStation fans have been hoping for Sony's return to the handheld console market for many years now, but so far, there has been no sign of a new, official PSP. One hardware modder took it upon themselves to make one though, showcasing a full PS4 console, fitted into a custom handheld casing. 

Sharing their work on Reddit, Wewillmakeitnow showcased a video along with several images of their handheld PS4. It utilises the motherboard of a PS4 Slim, cleverly cut down and fitted into a handheld style case, complete with a 7-inch OLED display and integrated controller buttons and thumbsticks at either side.

There are some drawbacks, for instance, the handheld is much thicker than most comparable devices, and the cooling required is much larger than we are used to seeing in consumer-grade devices, but that should be expected. After all, this modder only had last-generation tech to work with.

The device manages to last for around 90 minutes running some of the PS4's most demanding titles, but can run for up to three hours while playing less graphically intensive games.

If Sony were to make its own PS4-level handheld, it would be able to make some very clear improvements. For starters, Sony would be able to replace the chip with a more modern AMD SoC with better efficiency and performance at lower wattages. They would also be able to custom-design the motherboard and engineer a slimmer cooler to reduce the overall profile.

Right now, there are no official plans for a new PlayStation Portable. This generation, Sony instead opted to release the Portal, a handheld streaming device for PS5 Remote Play, as well as cloud streaming. Rumour has it that there may be bigger portable plans in place for the PS6, but right now, there are conflicting reports on when that next-gen console will arrive.

This week, Microsoft held its quarterly earnings call, revealing that while revenues are up overall thanks to things like Azure Cloud and AI investments, things at Xbox have taken a fall. In particular, Xbox hardware sales are down by 32% compared to the same Q2 period last year. 

Typically, we expect to see console sales making a jump between October and December due to things like Black Friday and Christmas. However, Microsoft opted to not offer any Black Friday discounts in 2025 and to make matters worse, the company had raised the prices of its consoles to the highest point since launch. As a result, Xbox console and accessories revenue dropped by 32% year-over-year.

The content and services portion of Xbox didn't fall quite as drastically but it did still see a dip, falling by 5% year-on-year, despite major launches like The Outer Worlds 2 and Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 during this time period. This would suggest that COD sales this year were weaker than the previous year, which would explain why Activision announced shortly after launch that it would no longer be doing back-to-back years for Modern Warfare or Black Ops moving forward.

Overall, Xbox revenue was down by 9%, but Microsoft as a whole had actually seen revenues increase by 17%, with the heavy lifting coming from Azure and AI initiatives.

Xbox content may see stronger performance later this year. Titles like Gears E-Day, Halo: Campaign Evolved, Fable, Forza Horizon 6 and a potential PS5 release for Starfield are all expected to land in 2026.

KitGuru Says: It has been clear for a while that Microsoft has lost the current console generation. The company is likely to consider more of a push towards multi-platform game releases to improve the situation, even if it comes at the expense of future hardware sales.

Right at the start of 2026, known horror aficionados Bloober Team began to tease a mysterious project via a brand new website which at the time featured the seemingly nonsense string of letters ‘RemosdNeulSerorehsoOvamCeyerd’ alongside a countdown to the 14th of February. With the date in question encroaching upon us, the website has since been updated with even more cryptic clues.

In going to the website RemosdNeulSerorehsoOvamCeyerd.com, users are met with the ominous quote “Some things never leave the walls. They only learn to wait,” alongside an enlarged version of the countdown timer – which is set to end on the 14th of February.

Seemingly connected to Valentine's Day in some form, the website also features a rose which is either dripping red paint or blood; with lines from the poem ‘The Sick Rose’ by William Blake playing in audio form.

Published back in 1794, the full short poem reads as follows:

“O Rose thou art sick. / The invisible worm, / That flies in the night / In the howling storm: / Has found out thy bed / Of crimson joy: / And his dark secret love / Does thy life destroy.”

Bloober Team are currently working on a number of projects, with the studio having confirmed to be developing a Silent Hill 1 remake as well as a Nintendo Switch exclusive known as Project M. Whether this teaser is related to either of these titles is currently unknown, but with Valentines Day a little over two weeks away we won’t have to wait long to find out.

KitGuru says: What do you think this is teasing? How relevant do you think the poem will be to the game itself? What’s your favourite Bloober Team title (other than the Silent Hill 2 Remake)? Let us know down below.

While Nintendo’s strategy when it comes to upgrading their titles for the Switch 2 has been somewhat inconsistent, one corner of the industry which has been quite consumer-friendly in this regard is the indie space. Joining the growing list of titles which offer free Switch 2 Edition upgrades is the popular Terraria x Stardew Valley styled sandbox ‘Core Keeper’ – available now.

Core Keeper has received a free Nintendo Switch 2 Edition for all those who own the game. Available now, the update isn’t necessarily too transformative given the relative simplicity of the game’s visuals, but is still welcome nonetheless, introducing:

• Expanded 8 player multiplayer (double the OG Switch’s)
• “Improved graphic fidelity”
• Enhancements to lighting, shadows, water and particle effects
• Up to 60 frames per second gameplay

The improvements to lighting in particular is interesting to see as while Core Keeper utilises a pixel art aesthetic, it features a rather pleasing dynamic lighting model which adds to the game’s vibes.

One Switch 2 feature which would have been welcome to see is the support for mouse mode. Unfortunately it appears as though so far many developers have shied away from making use of it.

Regardless, Core Keeper is a fun and addictive sandbox experience which is perfect for the pick-up-and-play nature of the Switch, and so it is exciting to see the game getting a free upgrade. If you have yet to purchase Core Keeper, the game is currently on sale for 40% off.

7 years after the release of the first game, Kingdom Come: Deliverance II finally launched last year to heaps of praise, with many deeming it to be not only a worthy sequel, but one of the best RPGs in years. In case you missed out on the original game back when it released, it appears as though the first KC:D will be getting a native current-gen upgrade imminently.

As reported by Gematsu, the PlayStation Store seems to have accidentally leaked the existence of a PS5 version of Kingdom Come: Deliverance, with the listing (which has since been removed) offering some details regarding what players can expect in terms of enhancements.

According to the page, the PS5 version of Kingdom Come: Deliverance “now features graphical updates including 4K resolution, improved framerate, high-resolution textures and many more.”

For comparison, the PS4 version of Kingdom Come: Deliverance operated at just 900p with an inconsistent 30fps framerate. This was boosted somewhat on the PS4 Pro, reaching 1080p while featuring improved ambient occlusion and draw distances.

Even with what little information which we know now regarding the native PS5 version, the enhancements should be very much noticeable. Hopefully the improved framerate mentioned refers to full 60fps support and not just a more stable 30.

We shouldn’t have to wait long to find out with the game’s 8th anniversary set to arrive in just over 2 weeks’ time.

KitGuru says: What did you think of KC:DII? Where did it rank in your games of 2025? Would you pay for the upgrades mentioned above or should it be free? Let us know down below.

Each month, Sony updates its PlayStation Plus Essential line-up with 3-4 titles which subscribers can claim and keep forever as long as they have an active membership. Despite stating that they would be de-prioritising last-gen titles in 2026, 3 of the 4 additions for February offer PlayStation 4 versions, including Subnautica: Below Zero and Ace Combat 7.

Making the announcement via the PlayStation Blog, February’s PlayStation Plus Essential line-up is (ironically) lacking in any heavy hitters, with the following set to be available to claim from the 3rd of February:

• Undisputed [PS5]
• Subnautica: Below Zero [PS5 | PS4]
• Ultros [PS5 | PS4]
• Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown [PS4]

As mentioned, Sony previously stated that they would begin to de-prioritise PS4 titles in their PlayStation Plus monthly titles starting in 2026. Despite this, the only current-gen exclusive for the month is Disputed – described as “the most authentic boxing game to date”. While a heavy hitting title in the literal sense, the game is very much targeted towards a particular audience and so it may or may not resonate with you.

Subnautica: Below Zero is a spin-off of the beloved underwater first-person survival series; which failed to capture the magic of the first entry in many people’s eyes, but is still a worthwhile game in its own right.

Ultros meanwhile is a visually explosive metroidvania which features art by El Huervo of Hotline Miami fame. With “brutal, intimate, close-quarter combat” and a “unique loop-based mechanic” Ultros is worth checking out if you have any interest in the genre.

All four of these titles will be available to add to your library from the 3rd of February, and will remain claimable until the 2nd of March. This means you have just a few more days to add January’s line-up to your library if you have yet to do so – the full details of which can be found HERE.

KitGuru says: What do you think of February’s line-up? Are you surprised to see so many last / cross-gen titles included still? Are you a boxing fan? Let us know down below.

At CES earlier this month, MSI revealed its newly overhauled Prestige laptop line. Now just a few weeks later, the MSI Prestige 14 Flip AI+ and its larger Prestige 16 variants are all available in the US.

The updated lineup adopts a slimmer profile, down to 0.47 inches at its thinnest. Despite the reduced thickness, the Prestige laptops remain just as durable. All models include modern security features such as a discrete TPM 2.0 module, fingerprint reader, IR webcam with shutter, and MSI’s Smart Guard protection.

Depending on the model, the new Prestige laptops can be configured all the way up to a brand-new Intel Core Ultra 9 388H processor. This gives plenty of performance for AI applications, alongside improved integrated Arc graphics. Efficiency gains also have an impact on battery life, with these laptops rated for over 30 hours of continuous HD video playback on a charge. Underneath the hood, cooling is handled by a vapor chamber and a dual-fan system, keeping noise levels low and thermals in check.

To match the Prestige name, these laptops ship with very high-spec displays. The Prestige 14 Flip AI+ features a 14‑inch FHD+ OLED touchscreen with 100% DCI‑P3 coverage and SGS low‑blue‑light certification. The 16‑inch models step up to 2.8K OLED panels with up to a 120Hz refresh rate, DisplayHDR True Black 1000 certification, and optional touch support. Ambient light and adaptive color sensors are included to maintain consistent image quality in different lighting conditions.

For users who prefer flexible workflows, the Prestige Flip variants offer 2‑in‑1 convertibility with stylus support. All models include a Copilot key, Wi‑Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, DTS‑enhanced audio with dual speakers and dual woofers, and a full suite of ports, including dual Thunderbolt 4, USB‑A, HDMI 2.1 and an audio combo jack.

The MSI Prestige 14 Flip AI+, the Prestige 16 AI+ and the Prestige 16 Flip AI+ are all available in the US now, with prices starting at $1,299. EU availability is expected in the coming months.

Razer has launched the beta version of Razer Synapse Web, a lightweight web application that lets users customise their Razer peripherals in Chromium-based browsers like Chrome, Edge, and Opera. This new platform eliminates the need for full software installation, making it a handy tool for esports tournaments, LAN environments, or shared systems where administrative locks prevent traditional software setup.

The web app focuses on speed and essential features. Users can adjust Chroma RGB Quick Effects, refine key settings, and manage onboard profiles directly within the browser interface. At launch, only the Razer Huntsman V3 Pro line will be supported, but we can expect more peripherals in the future.

While Synapse 4 remains the primary hub for deep integration and multi-device synchronisation, Synapse Web serves as a high-performance alternative for rapid adjustments in competitive scenarios. This “web-native” approach ensures that a gamer's specific performance tuning is always just a URL away, regardless of the PC they are using.

KitGuru says: For any user who jumps from system to system, being able to tweak their peripherals on the go is quite handy. However, most users will probably be glad that with Synapse Web, they won't need to install any software to customise their peripherals.

While Sony has yet to make any official announcements regarding the PlayStation 6 console, there have been some hints along the way. For instance, PlayStation hardware lead, Mark Cerny, has discussed continuing to work with AMD on new technology for a future console. For the past couple of years, many have been anticipating a 2028 launch date for next-generation consoles, but one analyst is now predicting a longer timetable.

As spotted by VGC, an MST Financial analyst recently claimed in a forecast for Sony that the PlayStation 5 lifecycle is going to be extended, and that the successor won't be released by 2028 as previously anticipated.

There are a number of good reasons for a PlayStation 6 delay right now. For starters, Sony has yet to convert a good number of PS4 users over to the new system. On top of that, the recent AI boom has led to massive price increases for things like memory and SSDs, which could make building a new console a much more expensive endeavour than initially planned over the next couple of years. Many consumers are expected to hold on to current-generation or older hardware while prices are in flux.

There are still a number of big generation-defining games also still to be released. Grand Theft Auto 6 is expected to lead to the sale of many PS5 consoles towards the end of this year. Premier first party studios like Naughty Dog have also yet to release a brand-new title during the PS5 generation and many other studios also have new games in the oven, specifically targeting the PS5.

If the forecast is accurate, then the PS6 may not arrive until 2029 or later. However, it is worth noting that this is just one analyst's opinion, and the tech space tends to move at a rapid pace. Sony itself has not yet made any statements around its next-gen hardware plans.

KitGuru Says: Rumour has it that the PlayStation 6 will see Sony tapping back into the portable market. As for when we'll see it, that is still up for debate.

This week, Kingston announced that its IronKey Keypad 200 USB drives, including the KP200 and KP200C, have achieved NIST FIPS 140‑3 Level 3 validation. The certification places the KP200 line alongside the already‑approved IronKey D500S, strengthening Kingston’s position in supplying independently verified, tamper‑resistant data storage.

FIPS 140‑3 Level 3 is the latest U.S. government cryptographic hardware standard and is widely recognised across Europe as a benchmark for security. Level 3 requires physical tamper resistance, identity‑based authentication, protected key handling, separation of critical interfaces, and safeguards against abnormal voltage or temperature conditions. Certification is granted following testing by NIST‑accredited labs and a final review by NIST.

The KP200 series are keypad‑based drives compatible with Windows, macOS, Linux, ChromeOS, and mobile devices via USB‑A or USB‑C. They are designed for environments where encrypted removable media is required to load or transfer software on medical, industrial, scientific, and other OT systems. NIST’s new SP 1334 guidance also highlights the need for stronger USB security in OT infrastructure.

The KP200 series includes dual Admin/User PINs, optional Global and Session Read‑Only modes to prevent unauthorised changes or malware exposure, and IP68 dust‑ and water‑resistance. The USB drives are available with up to 512GB of storage and come with a three-year warranty.

KitGuru Says: The number of cyber attacks carried out has grown each year, so data security is always important, especially when working in sensitive fields.
