The best-selling golf game on Quest is expanding in 2026, with new features, new courses, and a port to Steam released PC VR.
Ryan Engle, founder of GOLF+, recently published a fairly ambitious roadmap for the popular golf game, which specifies the addition of a new social lobby, UI improvements, and over a dozen new courses.
Engle announced that GOLF+ will soon be coming to PC VR via Steam, and that this version will sport graphical "enhancements."
GOLF+ is currently available through the Meta PC VR Store, as well as on Meta Quest, where it has sold over 1.5 million copies (as reported in February 2025), and sits at 15th on Meta's all-time best-selling list.
Engle confirmed that the team are targeting a "unified experience" across platforms, with "shared physics, multiplayer, and cross-play" across all platforms.
Additional comment from Engle confirmed that the PC VR port is a critical step toward a potential GOLF+ PSVR2 port. "The work we're doing now will set us up for that," wrote Engle.
GOLF+ is $30 on the Meta Horizon Store for Quest headsets. The game comes with three selectable courses, while 34 paid DLC courses are also offered, or you can access them all for $10/month with GOLF+ Pass.
A well-known hardware modder has pulled off yet another eye-watering hardware feat by upgrading the ASUS ROG Xbox Ally X from its standard 24GB of memory to a staggering 64GB capacity, turning the handheld into a one-of-a-kind machine. The work was carried out by YouTuber SlickBuys Mods and Repairs, who desoldered the device's onboard LPDDR5X 
Google is constantly adding new features to its Pixel lineup of phones, and its beta releases provide an early snapshot of what's in store for the wider user base. Adaptive Connectivity is just such a feature, which was first implemented in the Android 16 QPR2 beta testing build, and has already been improved for Android 16 QPR3 Beta 2.
Adaptive ENVER and Trass Games, who partnered to help fund the top-grossing Meta Quest title UG, have announced a joint initiative to bring new VR games to market.
At the time of writing, ContinuumXR's UG, a social-first title centered on hatching and raising your own dinosaur to go on adventures with, is the number one grossing game on the Quest platform. This is especially impressive given it is above known juggernauts like Beat Saber, Gorilla Tag, Animal Company, and Blade & Sorcery: Nomad.
ENVER, known for MotoX & Scary Baboon, and Trass Games, the studio behind best-seller Yeeps, have confirmed up to two million dollars in investments for 'emerging VR studios' building social-first, original experiences. This follows their success with UG, for which they provided funding as well as advising on marketing.
“UG shows what’s possible when strong developers are backed by partners who understand how VR games actually succeed today,” said Kyle Joyce, ENVER CEO. “This collaboration with Trass Games is about building a repeatable model. We want to find the next studios with real potential and give them the resources and guidance to scale.”
The free-to-play social market has shown more growth in the VR space than any other genre, particularly with younger users. Six out of the top ten grossing titles on Meta Quest are free-to-play titles, with UG joining Yeeps, Gorilla Tag, Animal Company, Roblox, and VRChat at the top of the charts. Beat Saber, Blade & Sorcery: Nomad, Bonelab, and Golf+ are the paid titles rounding out the list.
There is no word yet of which studios and projects are a part of this new initiative.
UG is available on the Meta Horizon Store for Quest headsets.
Arrow Lake is the codename for Intel's Core Ultra 200 series processors, which are currently its latest-generation desktop CPUs despite that they've been somewhat superseded by the Core Ultra 300 series on mobile. Before we receive the truly next-generation Nova Lake processors on a new platform later this year or early next year, we're expecting Developer Pixelity confirmed that Evangelion: Δ Cross Reflections will be shown at the franchise's 30th anniversary event this month.
Korea-based indie studio Pixelity announced a VR game based on the iconic Neon Genesis Evangelion franchise back in February 2025, and now fans have gotten their first teaser image. According to past statements, Evangelion: Δ Cross Reflections will tell an original story set in the world of the classic '90s anime and will be released in three parts.
The first installment in this series is expected to launch at some point in 2026, but a select group of fans will get to try Evangelion: Δ Cross Reflections out for themselves in a hands-on demo during the upcoming Evangelion 30th anniversary event. It will take place in the Yokohama Arena in Yokohama, Japan from February 21 to February 23, as reported here.
📢 25 days until "EVANGELION:30+; 30th ANNIVERSARY OF EVANGELION"!

News of Evangelion: Δ Cross Reflections' presence among the festivities was confirmed alongside a teaser image of the game on social media, which seems to show the player character signing up with the angel-battling organization NERV. This screenshot reveals a cel-shaded art style in a similar vein to games like Persona 5 or Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero.
As noted before, there is still no official release date for Evangelion: Δ Cross Reflections, nor is there any word on what platforms the game will be available on when it does launch. Late last year, Pixelity announced that it was accepting public Focus Group Test applications ahead of this year's release.
Last week in an effort to improve player sentiment around the game's launch, the team behind Highguard rushed out a 5v5 mode, a highly requested feature amongst players who felt that the game's launch map was simply too large for 3v3 matches. Initially, this was only going to be a limited-time game mode, but it is now being turned into a permanent addition to the game.
When Highguard launched last week with its 3v3 PvP mode, many players were quick to complain that the map feels like it was designed for larger-scale battles. Now the team at Wildlight has addressed this with the permanent addition of the 5v5 raid mode.
Interestingly over the weekend, Wildlight said it saw a “fairly even split” between those queuing for 3v3 matches and 5v5 matches. However, many players have expressed that the 5v5 mode feels like the way Highguard is supposed to be played, so those numbers might skew now that the mode is a permanent fixture of the game.
Highguard initially launched on the 26th of January, peaking at over 100,000 concurrent players, all drawn in from the game's announcement at The Game Awards, followed by several weeks of silence while the devs prepared for launch. The game's player numbers have since dipped, but it is still pulling in over 10,000 players each day.
Last week, Wildlight also revealed a huge roadmap for Highguard, with plans for monthly updates through the rest of the year.
KitGuru Says: Are you glad to see 5v5 becoming a permanent mode in Highguard?
The post Highguard’s 5v5 mode is here to stay first appeared on KitGuru.Samsung has overhauled its display strategy for 2026, officially bringing Nvidia G-Sync Compatibility to its entire flagship OLED TV range and the latest Odyssey gaming monitors. This move appears designed to bridge the gap for GeForce users who have previously looked toward competitors for guaranteed variable refresh rate support. The updated list of compatible hardware includes the S95H, S90H, and S85H television models, as well as the Odyssey G6 series.
On the television side, the 2026 OLED lineup has seen a notable increase in gaming-centric specifications. The flagship S95H and the mid-tier S90H now support refresh rates up to 165Hz, a jump from the 144Hz standard seen in previous years. The entry-level S85H remains at a respectable 120Hz. These displays also debut what Samsung calls HDR10+ ADVANCED, a format that reportedly uses AI-driven algorithms to manage brightness and motion accuracy frame by frame. Additionally, the premium S95H and S90H models are expected to feature a proprietary Glare Free coating that suppresses ambient reflections without the typical haziness associated with matte screens.
Additionally, Samsung is also launching the 27-inch Odyssey G6 G60H, one of the first consumer displays to reach 1,040Hz. This is achieved through a Dual Mode feature that allows the screen to operate at its peak frequency in HD resolution while still offering a substantial 600Hz at its native QHD resolution. For those prioritising panel technology over raw frequency, the Odyssey G6 G61SH variant utilises a QD-OLED panel with a more balanced 240Hz refresh rate at QHD, paired with the near-instant 0.03ms G2G response times and deep contrast levels typical of QD-OLEDs.
KitGuru says: Are you thinking of picking up a Samsung gaming monitor or TV this year?

Starting today, games like Final Fantasy 2 and Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii are available across all Game Pass platforms, but there is much more to come later in the month, including the day-one release of High on Life 2.
High on Life 2 is the sequel Squanch Games' debut action title, blending over the top humour with a shootout against aliens. The sequel will offer larger and more open environments, a stronger narrative focus with reactive dialogue and branching conversations, as well as improved combat with additional enemy archetypes and a bigger roster of weapons.
Here is the full list of titles coming to Game Pass over the next two weeks along with platforms and dates:
There will be a second wave of games announced in the second half of February.
KitGuru Says: Will you be installing any of this month's new Game Pass titles?

The W31 (via Cowcotland) features a seamless curved tempered glass panel that wraps around the front and side, secured by a single thumbscrew for tool-less access. Despite its relatively modest dimensions of 460 x 285 x 400mm, the chassis is claimed to support full ATX motherboards, including the increasingly popular back-connector designs like Asus BTF and MSI Project Zero.
The internal layout features a dual-chamber design to isolate the PSU and storage drives behind the motherboard tray, maximising airflow to the primary components. Cooling appears to be a major focus, as the W31 is supposed to support up to ten 120mm fans. Out of the box, it ships with four pre-installed fans: a single 120mm exhaust at the rear and three reverse-blade 120mm fans along the side intake. While liquid-cooling enthusiasts can mount a 360mm radiator at the top or bottom, potential builders should note that side-mounted radiator support is limited to 240/280mm due to height constraints.
Hardware compatibility remains generous for a case of this size. It can accommodate graphics cards up to 410mm long, power supplies up to 240mm long, and CPU air coolers up to 160mm tall. Connectivity is handled by a top-mounted I/O panel featuring a 20Gbps USB-C 3.2 Gen 2×2 port, two USB-A 3.0 ports, and dedicated controls for the integrated ARGB lighting hub.
KitGuru says: The InWin W31 seems to be a well-considered addition to the panoramic case market, particularly for those who want the “fishtank” look without sacrificing desk space.

The studio has shipped more games than any other first-party Xbox studio, with three arriving last year alone, including Avowed, Grounded 2 and The Outer Worlds 2. Unfortunately, two of these games did ‘fall below expectations' and while Obsidian already has plans for future Avowed titles, the same can't be said for its Sci-Fi series.
In a massive article posted by Bloomberg's Jason Schreier this week, we get a breakdown of Obsidian's view of its big year, as well as what to expect in the future. While Obsidian did succeed in shipping three titles through last year, it turns out that both Avowed and The Outer Worlds 2 suffered from ‘inflated' production costs due to their lengthy 6-year development timelines. This unfortunately meant that sales expectations were also higher, but neither game managed to meet those targets.
Of course, there is still time for that to change. The Outer Worlds 2 has only been out for a few months and still has expansions on the way. Avowed on the other hand has remained an Xbox console exclusive since launch. Avowed's PS5 release this month should bring a sales boost along with it.
In the article, Obsidian leaders like CEO, Feargus Urquhart described some ways that both of its major 2025 titles could have been improved. The Outer Worlds 2 could have used stronger companions, while Avowed could have improved player agency by allowing them to steal and potentially draw the ire of town and city guards, a staple in many fantasy RPGs.
Moving forward, there are plans to continue making games in the Avowed and Pillars of Eternity universe. However, there are currently no plans for an Outer Worlds 3. That could change after the second game's DLCs have all wrapped up but for now, it sounds like Obsidian's Sci-Fi series may be put on ice.
KitGuru Says: I really enjoyed both Avowed and The Outer Worlds 2, but I was definitely let down by the latest Outer Worlds in a few ways. The companions weren't as memorable as the original game and ultimately, I think the game lacked playstyle variety, with very few options to speech check your way through situations throughout the story and somewhat limited stealth opportunities.

Now as of the end of 2025, the Switch has officially surpassed Nintendo's three-generations old handheld, becoming the highest-selling Nintendo console of all time. The Switch 2 is also gaining ground as the fastest-selling Nintendo system ever.
In its most recent financial report (via VGC), Nintendo notes that as of the 31st of December 2025, the Nintendo Switch console has sold a total of 155.37 million units, officially surpassing the Nintendo DS, which sold just over 154 million units during its lifetime. Nintendo also expects to sell another 750,000 original Switch consoles during this year, although Switch 2 sales are swiftly picking up steam.
The Nintendo Switch 2, which officially launched in June last year, has now sold 17 million units. This means that Nintendo's strategy of doubling down on consumer supply to avoid issues with scalpers has paid off, even if it meant that early on, game developers were struggling to obtain the hardware. Since the launch, Nintendo has solved its Switch 2 development kit issues and now, most major studios have access to Nintendo's latest hardware.
We are expecting to see a new wave of game ports announced for the Switch 2 as early as this week, as it has been claimed that a Nintendo Direct showcase will be taking place, focused on third-party titles.
KitGuru Says: The Nintendo Switch deserves its spot at the top of Nintendo's all-time list. While the console may have lacked power compared to other home consoles, it still managed to put out an insane library of titles and we saw more than a few miracle ports for the system, including the likes of The Witcher 3 and DOOM.

While these results are intended to reflect the company's specific internal standards and may not mirror the broader industry, the data provides a valuable snapshot of the hardware landscape.
In the enterprise sector, Intel appears to have reclaimed the reliability crown from AMD's Threadripper lineup, with the Xeon W-2500 and W-3500 series reportedly achieving a flawless 0% failure rate throughout the year, based on Puget Systems data. The battle for consumer CPU dominance was much closer, with the Ryzen 9000 and Intel Core 200 series showing nearly identical failure rates of 2.52% and 2.49%, respectively. Within those families, however, certain models stood out as supposedly more resilient, such as the Intel Core Ultra 7 265K, which reportedly saw failures in only 0.77% of units. On AMD's side, the Ryzen X3D series maintained a respectable 1.5% failure rate. It is noted that the vast majority of these issues were identified during burn-in before systems ever left the company.
Nvidia's professional-grade hardware also performed well, with the RTX Ada Generation and RTX Pro Blackwell GPUs exhibiting extremely low failure rates. Excluding the high-wattage RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell Workstation Edition, the report mentions only a handful of failures across the entire Blackwell and Ada stacks. In the consumer segment, with a mere 0.25% failure rate, Nvidia's Founders Edition models were the most dependable GeForce RTX cards. They were followed closely by Asus (0.40%) and PNY (0.45%).
Motherboards remained a more volatile category, though the Asus TUF B850M-Plus WIFI was highlighted for its near-perfect record. Meanwhile, Kingston and Micron emerged as the most reliable memory partners. As for storage, the Samsung 870 QVO 8TB SATA SSD was particularly noteworthy, finishing the year with no reported failures. Power supplies rounded out the report, with Super Flower's Leadex units and the Corsair SF1000 Platinum proving the most dependable options for the integrator's builds.

KitGuru says: These figures are always interesting to see. For the most part, failure rates are quite low across the board, although some chips manage better than others.
