I can’t stop checking boxes on https://onemillioncheckboxes.com/, and I’d really like for them to stay checked.

Horizon Forbidden West, Ghost of Tsushima, Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart, and both Spider-Man PC games now support the upgrade to AMD’s upscaling and framerate boosting tech. It reduces shimmering, ghosting, and flickering of earlier versions and lets you use frame generation independently of upscaling.

God of War Ragnarök will also get FSR 3.1 “soon.”

The Nintendo DS-like’s lower screen will soon double as a virtual keyboard, triple as a virtual touchpad, and quadruple as a dual-screen task switcher with the company’s Ayaspace v2.5 software update. Those could all make it a bit easier to navigate Windows handheld!

With new Lovestruck expansion pack, coming to The Sims 4 on July 25th, your Sims too can experience the horrors of modern dating.

Create dating profiles for your Sims, define their attractions, plan and execute dates, and even get your Sim’s heart broken. The expansion adds new romance-themed traits, aspirations, and fears, and adds a new location, Ciudad Enamorada, where Sims can enjoy their new romantic interludes.

Much like MTV News and its archives, Pimp My Ride is no longer with us, but Netflix’s new car restoration show Resurrection Rides looks like it’ll be the next best thing when it premieres on July 24th.

In terms of blockbuster sci-fi cinema, July 4th will always belong to the original Independence Day, but this year the holiday will also see Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire finally become available to stream on Max.

The anime streaming service followed Netflix by adding games to its service late last year, and today it announced a batch of 15 upcoming titles, including Crypt of the NecroDancer and Psycho-Pass: Mandatory Happiness. Check out the full details right here.

The years have been rough for bounty hunting Star Wars games; Boba Fett’s turn in 1313 was never released, and Respawn’s Mandalorian game has reportedly been cancelled as well. But we’ll always have the PS2 / GameCube-era Bounty Hunter starring Jango Fett. Now it’s getting a re-release on Switch, Steam, PlayStation, and Xbox — launching on August 1st.

The Minisforum DEG1 is just $99, it’s already on sale, and your existing desktop PC parts (GPU, PSU) can make it work.

It connects with Oculink, not USB4, so it won’t work with most laptops — mostly boutique handhelds. But it could be more powerful than existing Oculink eGPUs with a desktop card at its disposal!

Sony’s Street Fighter movie is set to release on March 20th, 2026, according to Deadline. The publication also reports that Danny and Michael Philippou, the directors of Talk To Me, are no longer directing the Street Fighter film.

A Paramount Global spokesperson tells Variety that “as part of broader website changes across Paramount, we have introduced more streamlined versions of our sites, driving fans to Paramount Plus to watch their favorite shows.”

The company recently took down the MTV News website archives, too.

The game studio he co-founded also cut ties, and so did peripheral manufacturer Turtle Beach, following my colleague Ash’s reporting that he sent inappropriate messages to a minor. On Tuesday, he shared his side of the story.

Game developer Creator just showed a new trailer for Starship Home, its augmented reality cosmic gardening sim for the Meta Quest 3, during the UploadVR Showcase. The game is up for preorder now at a discounted $17.99, with a “Summer 2024” release date, Meta announced.

Some jitteriness aside, I still think the game is promising in a casual Tamagotchi or Animal Crossing sort of way.
