Acer has expanded its Nitro display family with the Nitro ED340CUR W0bmiipx, a 34-inch ultrawide monitor designed to bring high-refresh-rate gaming to the value-conscious segment. This model pairs a 1500R curved VA panel with a 3440 x 1440 (UWQHD) resolution, offering the expansive field of view that has become a staple for simulation fans and multitasking professionals alike.

Featuring a 240 Hz refresh rate, the ED340CUR W0 (via DisplaySpecifications) brings a significant jump over previous iterations of the ED340 series, which typically maxed out at 165/180Hz. This, combined with AMD FreeSync Premium support, ensures fluid motion and reduced screen tearing in fast-paced titles. The panel uses an 8-bit + FRC (Frame Rate Control) method to achieve 10-bit colour depth, covering 99% of the sRGB colour space. As is typical of VA technology, the monitor boasts a high 3000:1 static contrast ratio. However, its peak brightness is rated at a modest 250 nits, making its HDR10 support more of a baseline compatibility feature than a transformative visual experience.

The monitor follows Acer's streamlined “ZeroFrame” aesthetic, maximising screen real estate by minimising bezel width. The included stand is tilt-only, which is a common trade-off in the budget category. However, the unit is fully compatible with 100 x 100 mm VESA mounts for those who require height or swivel adjustment. Connectivity options include dual HDMI 2.1 ports, a DisplayPort 1.4 input, and integrated 2W speakers for basic audio.

Additionally, Acer has packed the display with its VisionCare suite, including Blue Light Shield Pro, flicker-free technology, and a low-dimming feature. These additions, combined with the “Super Sharpness” processing, position the ED340CUR W0 as a versatile tool for both competitive gaming and general office productivity. The monitor is now available for $349.99.

KitGuru says: It's impressive to see 240Hz in a 34-inch UWQHD monitor at this price point. For gamers coming from older 60Hz panels, the move to 240Hz on a curved 34-inch panel is one of the most cost-effective ways to fundamentally change how your gaming setup feels in 2026, assuming your system can support such a refresh rate.

We are still a couple of days away from being able to get our hands on Resident Evil Requiem, but if early reviews are any indication, Capcom should have another early-year hit on its hands.

The first 100+ reviews for Resident Evil Requiem all went live this afternoon. The PS5 version of the game has the most reviews, achieving an 89 overall critic score on metacritic, although the Xbox, PC and Switch 2 versions all have overall scores above 90.

The story is similar over on OpenCritic, where the game has a 96% recommendation rating and an 88 overall score based on close to 100 critic reviews.

Resident Evil Requiem is the final game in the ‘Winters Saga', which kicked off with Resident Evil 7 a number of years ago. The game is launching for PS5, Xbox Series X/S and Switch 2 on the 27th of February, with a 60FPS frame rate target across all of those platforms. A PC version is also launching this week with full access to features like higher-fidelity ray-tracing, as well as upscaling technologies like DLSS or FSR.

KitGuru Says: Are you planning on picking up Resident Evil Requiem later this week?

When Bethesda rolled out the Switch 2 patch for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, fans were disappointed by the graphics upgrade and lack of performance mode. This had many wondering if Fallout 4 on Switch 2 would also ship in a fairly barebones state. As it turns out, a lot of effort has clearly gone into this new version of Fallout 4. 

Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition is now available on the Switch 2 console. Unlike Skyrim, Fallout 4 has access to multiple performance modes on day-one, including a standard 30FPS mode, a 40FPS mode and a 60FPS performance mode.

Players on Reddit also seem to be happy with the Switch 2 version of Fallout 4, with the new version receiving tons of praise for its stability and performance mode options.

Skyrim fans on Switch 2 can also now update their games with a new 60FPS patch to get more performance there too. In the coming months, Bethesda will have more high-profile titles joining the Switch 2 library, including Oblivion Remastered and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.

Earlier this week, Nacon announced plans for its next games showcase. Now just days later, it appears that the publisher and accessories maker is filing for insolvency. 

As spotted by VGC, Nacon has filed for insolvency due to a failed payment on a bond loan. The situation will allow Nacon to remain in business while renegotiating its debt repayments.

Nacon has had a pretty good couple of years for game releases thanks to the likes of RoboCop: Rogue City, Styx: Blades of Greed and Test Drive Unlimited. At an upcoming showcase, Nacon will also be spotlighting upcoming games like Edge of Memories, The Mound and Cthulu: The Cosmic Abyss.

Nacon is also publishing an upcoming Terminator game, although that game recently underwent a major pivot, turning from a co-op multiplayer game to a single-player adventure.

KitGuru Says: Nacon has a pretty impressive slate of titles coming up, so hopefully they are able to turn things around here.

Asus is rolling out its Kojima Productions hardware collaboration, led by the ROG Flow Z13‑KJP and a suite of matching peripherals. The limited‑edition range, first teased at CES 2026, pairs ROG’s high‑end tablet design with Yoji Shinkawa’s “Ludens” artwork. Pre‑orders are now open, with shipping beginning March 3rd.

At the heart of the collection is the ROG Flow Z13-KJP, a 2-in-1 gaming tablet featuring a CNC-milled aluminum chassis in a unique Decennium Gold colourway, accented by carbon fibre elements and laser-etched venting. This special edition goes beyond a simple visual reskin, including a custom-themed power adapter, a Death Stranding-inspired carrying case, and an exclusive Armoury Crate theme. To sweeten the deal, every purchase includes a digital copy of Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, which launches on PC on March 19th.

Under the hood, the Flow Z13-KJP is a portable powerhouse driven by the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 processor. Powered by 16 Zen 5 CPU cores with Radeon 8060S Graphics (40 RDNA 3.5 CUs), it offers gaming performance that rivals many dedicated GPUs while maintaining a tablet form factor. Moreover, the tablet packs 128 GB of LPDDR5X-8000 RAM shared across both the CPU and GPU. The tablet also boasts a 13.4-inch 2.5K Nebula Display with a 180 Hz refresh rate and 100% DCI-P3 colour coverage, ideal for both gaming and professional work.

The collaboration extends to three matching peripherals, all featuring the signature gold, grey, and white palette. Starting with the ROG Delta II-KJP headset, it features tri-mode wireless connectivity and DualFlow Audio, allowing users to listen to two sources simultaneously. Then, there's the Keris II Origin-KJP mouse, an ultra-lightweight ergonomic mouse equipped with the AimPoint Pro 42K sensor and 100-million-click ROG Micro Switches. Lastly, we have the ROG Scabbard II XXL-KJP mousepad, a 900 x 400 mm desk mat featuring a bold sketch of the Ludens mascot.

The ROG Flow Z13-KJP tablet will be available for $3,699.99. As for the peripherals, the ROG Delta II-KJP headset will cost $269.99, the ROG Keris II Origin-KJP mouse will cost $169.99, and the ROG Scabbard II-KJP mousepad will cost $69.99.

Endorfy has made its debut in the mATX market with the launch of the Signum M30 series, a new line of compact mini-towers inspired by the brand’s successful Signum 300 family. Designed to offer full-sized functionality within a smaller footprint, the series debuts with two distinct models: the Signum M30 ARGB and the Signum M30 Air.

Despite their compact dimensions, the Signum M30 cases do not compromise on hardware compatibility or cooling. Both cases are engineered for high-performance builds and support motherboards in microATX, Mini-ITX, and Flex ATX formats. Regarding GPU and cooling support, these models accommodate graphics cards up to 345 mm in length, CPU air coolers up to 159 mm, and up to a 240 mm radiator.

In both models, the chassis features a mesh front panel that doubles as a dust filter and a perforated top panel for unrestricted airflow. Moreover, each case comes factory-equipped with three Stratus 120 PWM fans: ARGB versions for the M30 ARGB and standard black for the M30 Air. These fans support a fan-stop mode for silent operation and are pre-wired to a PWM splitter for easy motherboard control.

The interior has a modern dual-chamber layout to keep the build tidy, offering dedicated cable routing channels behind the motherboard tray and a left-side tempered glass panel to showcase the components. Storage options are plentiful for the size, with room for two 2.5-inch and two 3.5-inch drives. On the front I/O, Endorfy has included a USB-C 3.2 Gen 2×2 port capable of 20 Gb/s speeds, alongside two USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 ports and dedicated audio jacks.

KitGuru says: Endorfy is making a smart move by bringing its “Signum” DNA to the microATX space. For builders tired of massive towers but unwilling to give up 345 mm GPUs, the M30 looks like a very balanced contender.

Graphics depicting Meta's upcoming ultralight headset with a tethered compute puck, codenamed Phoenix, have been found in Quest firmware.

Firmware dataminers Luna and Samulia discovered a "hilariously" low resolution depiction of the headset from the rear side (see above), as well as a silhouette of the frontbox from behind. The pair were also able to activate and run the eye tracking calibration setup on a Quest Pro.

While the resolution is indeed comically low, it still clearly depicts a compact headset with glasses-style nose pads instead of a classic VR-style face pad. Discovered strings also reference adjusting the nose pads for comfort. What we don't see is the back of the device, so it's not yet clear whether it has glasses-like arms or a cradle for the back of your head.

— Luna (@Lunayian) February 24, 2026

Before this, the only real indication we had as to what Phoenix might look like came from The Information's 2024 report that first revealed the existence of the device, then called Puffin, where it was described as "a bulky pair of glasses" that weighs less than 110 grams with a tethered compute puck running Horizon OS, the operating system of Quest headsets.

That 2024 report also described the headset as having eye tracking, in order to copy the gaze-and-pinch input system of Apple Vision Pro.

Luna's past and current datamining corroborates this. Last year they found references to automatic IPD adjustment and iris unlock, features both driven by eye tracking.

Separately, XR influencer Brad Lynch claimed that one of the candidates for the headset uses 0.9-inch micro-OLED displays, slightly smaller than those used in Bigscreen Beyond headsets. Without knowing the pixel density, this doesn't tell us the resolution. But it does let us know that this candidate could offer OLED's signature infinite contrast, true black, and punchy colors. UploadVR has previously reported that Meta has explored multiple display system approaches at differing price points.

Meta Delays Ultralight Headset, Starts Work On Gaming-Focused Quest 4

Meta is delaying its ultralight headset with a tethered puck to the first half of 2027, and, separately, starting work on a gaming-focused Quest 4, leaked memos reveal.

UploadVRDavid Heaney

Leaked internal Meta memos from December revealed that the company is targeting the first half of 2027 for a launch of Phoenix.

Phoenix will be strongly focused on virtual screens for productivity and entertainment, and other seated mixed reality and VR use cases. Names that Meta has internally floated for the product have included "Quest Air", but it's far from certain what it will decide. It's also unclear whether it will even be marketed as a "headset" – it may instead be sold as "mixed reality glasses".

Keep in mind that Meta's hardware roadmap is constantly shifting, and the company frequently spins up and cancels devices before they ship. When a specific product gets close to shipping, we'll bring you any reliable rumors of its imminent arrival. Until then, be ready for anything planned to get canceled or delayed.

The Amusement shows a lot of potential as a narrative puzzler, but its implementation of roomscale movement may push players away early in the demo.

Roomscale VR games are becoming a rarity these days as the realities of limited play spaces and VR 'epic fail' videos may have softened developer interest in these types of experiences. That hasn't stopped recent efforts like Hotel Infinity, Laser Dance, and Eye of the Temple from offering up terrific gameplay. When done right, a roomscale game is some of the most immersive time spent in VR.

Enter The Amusement, a narrative adventure with environmental puzzles and the promise of a poignant family story. The Amusement utilizes roomscale movement with an optional teleportation system. It starts out well enough in a confined room with items to pick up, observe, and add to inventory. Then it quickly proceeds to the bulk of the demo, a zig-zag of a garden maze with thin paths that were painful to navigate with the movement system as currently designed.

I played The Amusement demo twice. First, in a limited play space with teleportation, a cumbersome exercise limited by a snap-only turning system without an option to change the size of the turn angle. This was not ideal by any stretch and made the garden maze section quite annoying to play through. I don't recommend it.

Then, I rearranged my room to get a completely open space and the maze still feels too constricted. Unlike the aforementioned Laser Dance & Eye of the Temple where you are constantly ducking, dodging, and otherwise navigating obstacles, in The Amusement I just walked a few steps, turned, walked a few more, wash, rinse, repeat until you reach a tube with a wheel to rotate into another part of the maze. If you accidentally walk into an object, the screen simply blacks out, telling you to reposition.

It is immersive. It's just not interesting and fails to capitalize on being roomscale in the same way the aforementioned games do. I hope that in the full release, there will be more open areas with environmental pieces to interact with that really take advantage of the 1:1 movement. The maze is roughly half of the demo's runtime, so in this short sample size, it sticks out more than it likely will in the full release.

It's a real shame too because the simple process of walking through the world is the only real flaw in an otherwise strong demo. The lead character, Samantha, has been sent by her mother to investigate her late father's amusement park. The story is delivered through a combination of cardboard cutout animations, shadows cast against the walls of the world, and voiceovers all befitting the cinematics of the 1920s, the setting for the game. This very effectively evokes the sense that Samantha is reliving her complex childhood memories as the story moves along.

The puzzles themselves make great use of VR. Navigating the garden maze to find an item that could be used as a makeshift ladder rung and using a yo-yo of all things to move between rooms is very creative and rewards thinking outside the box.

The more I played, the more I was reminded of both Eye of the Temple and The 7th Guest VR. The Amusement combines the physical movement (climbing and navigating) of the former with the environmental, sometimes tabletop-based puzzle solving of the latter.

Despite the roomscale movement not really adding anything to the experience, The Amusement demo is still well worth playing. If you enjoy story-based puzzle games and have been waiting for a new one after last year's stellar Ghost Town, this is one to watch.

Closing Thoughts

The Mchose V9 Turbo is a headset that gets the physical hardware incredibly right, but stumbles on the execution of what makes a headphone great. On the positive side, the magnetic charging dock is brilliant – simply dropping the headphones into place via the volume knob cutout is effortless. Comfort is great, especially when using the included fabric pads, and the battery life is pretty solid.

There is definitely a software bug that makes the battery report a solid 100% life remaining even after 75 hours of active use, but with the convenient charging station I see no use-case where battery will be a concern. The 2.4GHz wireless latency is also spot-on for gaming which is always a must for any wireless headsets.

Unfortunately, the audio experience lets it down. The sound profile feels small, thin, and shouty, severely lacking in low-end energy and sporting recessed mid-frequencies. It is a fatiguing listen for both music and gaming. Even with tools like Equalizer APO, you are fighting against the built-in DSP, making it hard to find an enjoyable tuning, let alone if you just stick with the built-in equalizer on the Mchose app.

The microphone is equally only OK, delivering a muffled, highly compressed sound that easily picks up keyboard noise, requiring noise reduction that further makes it muffled and compressed.

I also spotted some software quirks that could be easily addressed, such as stealthy background processes even when closed, a max 45-minute auto-power-off timer that given the convenient dock setup could have offered a off setting, and a blinding green LED on the dongle.

For £100, I would personally prefer moving to a £20-30 set of IEMs and an external USB microphone on a boom arm, but if you need flawless wireless and are ok with compromising on sound quality, these are worth considering.

You can buy the Mchose V9 Turbo for around £100 HERE.

Pros:

• Brilliant magnetic charging dock makes top-ups effortless.
• Strong battery life that lasts for weeks.
• Excellent 2.4GHz wireless performance with consistently low latency.
• Comfortable fit, especially with the included fabric earpads.

Cons:

• Audio is thin and a little fatiguing thanks to poor mid/low-end energy.
• Muffled, highly compressed microphone with unimpressive clarity.
• Some annoying software quirks (always on bright green dongle LED, background running processes, battery percentage reporting is broken).

KitGuru says: The Mchose V9 Turbo nails the wireless experience, but it is ultimately let down by fatiguing audio and an only OK microphone.

Back in 2022, former Forza Horizon developers started up a new independent studio with the goal of creating a new open-world driving game. This new game was set to be published by Amazon Games but a recent shake-up of Amazon's game development and publishing business has now led to the deal being scrapped.

Amazon Games has withdrawn from its publishing agreement with Maverick Games. The decision leaves Maverick’s debut project, a narrative‑led open‑world driving game for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S, without a publisher.

In its statement on the move, an Amazon spokesperson told The Game Business:

“As part of our strategic evolution to focus on projects that leverage Amazon’s unique strengths and scale, including the recent re-launch of Luna and our Tomb Raider franchise partnership with Crystal Dynamics, we have decided to release Maverick Games from their publishing agreement with Amazon Game Studios. We have tremendous respect for the Maverick Games team and the compelling narrative-led driving experience they’re creating. This decision allows Maverick Games the flexibility to find a publishing partner whose strategic priorities are better aligned with bringing their game to market.”

Maverick Games has already confirmed plans to continue working on the game and it will be searching for a new publishing partner. At this point, the game should be quite far along, so it could feasibly be ready for a 2027 release window.

The move comes during a period of significant contraction for Amazon’s gaming ambitions. Over the past year, the company has cut most of its MMO development staff, including teams behind New World: Aeternum and an untitled Lord of the Rings MMO. Amazon has also shut down the recently released co‑op title King of Meat and sold the unreleased MOBA March of Giants to Ubisoft.

While Amazon has scaled back its gaming operations quite significantly, Amazon does still have some key publishing projects coming up, including two new Tomb Raider games from Crystal Dynamics.

KitGuru Says: With so many gaming companies making cuts in recent years, this does not feel like a good time to be in search of funding.

It has been quite a while since Slay the Spire 2 was first announced but the wait is finally coming to an end. The game will begin its Early Access development phase soon, with an early version of the game becoming available on Steam next week.

Mega Crit has confirmed that Slay the Spire 2 will launch into Early Access on Steam on March 5th, accompanied by a new animated trailer highlighting the sequel's expanded scope and newly added four‑player online co‑op.

The original Slay the Spire became a widely loved indie hit thanks to its fusion of roguelike progression and deck-building mechanics, with each run through the game offering something fresh. Slay the Spire 2 builds on that foundation with a substantial list of additions, including new cards, characters, relics, potions, events, enemies, and alternate acts designed to keep you coming back for another run.

We do not yet know how long Slay the Spire 2 will remain in Early Access for, but we expect to see a number of feedback-driven content updates in the year ahead.

While sentiment surrounding PlayStation right now is far from its peak, thanks in part to the recent closure of BluePoint Games Studio, the console maker is continuing on with its live-service efforts. Alongside the upcoming Marathon playtest, Sony has now confirmed that the recently-announced Horizon Hunters Gathering is getting its first closed playtest this weekend.

Making the announcement via the game’s Steam page, the team at Guerrilla Games confirmed that the first closed playtest for their upcoming live-service project ‘Horizon Hunters Gathering’ is set to go live this weekend.

Available to those who are signed up to PlayStation’s beta program, the playtest will kick off on the 27th of February and will conclude on the 1st of March. Unfortunately, this first session is limited to those in North America and Europe – though both PS5 and Steam users can get in on the action at the very least.

Of course, the playtest will feature just a slice of the full experience, with Guerrilla confirming the following will be present and playable:

• Three characters to choose from
  • Axle
  • Rem
  • Sun
• Two game modes
  • Machine Incursion (Normal / Hard)
  • Cauldron Descent (Normal)
• 1 region to explore (Colorado Springs)
• Access to the ‘Gathering’ (social hub)

As mentioned, those interested in checking out the game ahead of time will need to sign up to PlayStation’s beta program. While this won’t guarantee you access, make sure to check out your emails over the coming days in case you are selected to join.

Considering the fact that Sony’s track record when it comes to live-service titles has been a bit spotty, it is encouraging to see that the console maker is hosting multiple playtests in order to ensure the final product is one which players actually want to engage with and return to on a regular basis. It will be interesting to see what fans think of Hunters Gathering when it goes live this weekend.

With Blizzard seemingly successfully reviving the Overwatch franchise in the wake of its recent overhaul, the team looks set to expand the IP out into new mediums. While the mainline Overwatch remains a console/PC only experience, a brand new mobile-exclusive spin-off has now been announced in the form of the top-down 4v4 shooter Overwatch Rush.

Taking to their blog to make the announcement, the team at Blizzard officially unveiled their latest project, writing: “Today, we’re introducing Overwatch Rush, a new top-down Hero shooter designed specifically for mobile set in the Overwatch universe.”

Being developed internally at Blizzard (though by a new team separate from the mainline Overwatch devs), Rush is described as “an entirely new game – not a port – built specifically for mobile players”. This is quite evident from the early development footage shared, showing a game which is clearly Overwatch but operates in an entirely new top-down / isometric perspective.

As of now, very few additional details have been shared, with the team confirming that “there remains a lot of work to do”. Those interested in following Overwatch Rush’s progress directly can do so via the game’s Discord server.

Bringing live-service titles to mobile is always an interesting endeavour, with some trying to port the game as is, while others go for a more dedicated mobile-first experience. Both methods have had their successes and failures, and so it will be interesting to see what becomes of Overwatch Rush once it eventually launches on mobile.

KitGuru says: What do you think of this announcement? Should Rush share progress with the main game? Would you have preferred a more direct port of Overwatch instead? Let us know your thoughts down below.

Boomer Shooters have seen a notable surge in recent years, with players finding comfort in titles which offer satisfying gameplay loops, engaging combat and interesting visuals – focusing on the dopamine hits associated with turning your enemies into giblets. Available now for the next two weeks, the Boomer Shooter Blueprint bundle features a bunch of fun and fast-paced experiences, including but not limited to Mullet Madjack, I Am Your Beast and Selaco.

Put together by ‘Kirk Collects’ and the curation site Digiphile, the ‘Boomer Shooter Blueprint’ bundle is available to purchase from now until the 11th of March. Costing $17, fans of the genre will have plenty to get stuck into no matter your preferred visual aesthetics – with 7 titles in total being offered:

• Selaco
• I Am Your Beast
• Mullet Madjack
• Beyond Citadel
• Warhammer 40,000 Boltgun
• Incision
• CULTIC Chapter One

I Am Your Beast is a level-based boomer shooter which puts emphasis on speed and accuracy, giving you limited weapons and ammo initially in a Hotline Miami-styled gameplay loop of try, die and try again. Featuring a surprisingly emotional narrative, I Am Your Beast is certainly worth giving a go.

Warhammer 40,000 Boltgun on the other hand is another entry in the ever-expanding Warhammer universe. Featuring an early-90s visual set-up blended with Warhammer iconography, Boltgun is worth checking out regardless of your opinion on the IP.

Beyond Citadel meanwhile offers a blend of OG DOOM and classic anime, while upping the gameplay to line-up closer with more modern titles.

Another anime-inspired entry is Mullet Madjack: “a HIGH-OCTANE-ACTION SHOOTER” featuring a cel-shaded aesthetic and vibrant visuals, with an emphasis on completing levels as quickly and efficiently as possible. Full details on all of the included titles can be found HERE.

As with most bundles, a portion of the money will go towards charity, with the Boomer Shooter Blueprint bundle supporting ‘Whale and Dolphin Conservation’ – “the leading charity dedicated to the protection of whales and dolphins.”
