The collection celebrating Xbox’s 25th anniversary includes games like The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition, Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary, Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition, Minecraft Dungeons, and Gears of War: Reloaded. Microsoft says you can also play some of the free games on Xbox Series X/S with Xbox Play Anywhere.

He claims in a post on X that it’s “never happened yet.” Musk didn’t go into details, but he’s made other promises before, like saying he would pay legal bills for people fired unfairly over tweets, or his many, many claims about robotaxis and Tesla’s new Roadster.

First came the One, then the One Pro, then the 1S. Now, we have the $599 One Pro Plus — not kidding! These have brighter screens than the Pro (1,200 nits, up from 700), more ergonomic nose pads, and an improved Real3D mode that can render 2D content in 3D at 60Hz, up from 30Hz.

With features like 32-bit float recording, 64GB of redundant storage on each transmitter, threaded connectors for wired lavalier mics, a 500 meter range, and a receiver that interfaces through the Multi Interface Shoe atop Alpha cameras, Sony’s new $399.99 ECM-W5 wireless mic kit could be a tempting alternative to DJI’s offerings for videographers with more professional workflows.

New listings on Anbernic’s AliExpress storefront reveal pricing for its new dual-screen Android handheld that will be available for preorder starting on October 16th and expected to ship on December 10th.

Former Boston Dynamics CTO Aaron Saunders, who joined Google in 2025, announced the project on LinkedIn. “We’re creating a first-class lab to house this team and take robotics to the next level,” he said. It comes as Google pushes deeper into robotics, including with Gemini Robotics AI models and absorbing Alphabet robotics moonshot Intrinsic.

Confusingly, both options are called the “RTX Spark N1X,” but the lite version has 5120 GPU cores, 18 CPU cores and up to 32GB of RAM, while the other has 6144 GPU cores, 20 CPU cores, and up to 128GB.

In May, Nvidia claimed it was “the most efficient PC chip ever built,” and Nvidia now says it’s the fastest too: “it’s going to be a good 3-5x faster than any Windows SoC ever made,” the company told journalists.

The video platform has reportedly been in discussions with publishers in recent months. The feature could launch as soon as next year, and YouTube has considered bundling it with its $16-per-month Premium subscription. Still, after launching a music streaming service this feels like an obvious next step for YouTube to compete against Spotify.

That’s according to Redditor u/mawitime, who says they used “a cursed AI agent from hell” to get the OS onto an Asus Chromebook.
