    Google has some new tools for face filters.

    Like Face Landmarker, which can apparently let you make something like what’s shown in the below GIF. (Which admittedly looks a lot like an Apple Memoji.) Very interested to see what developers make with these tools.

    A GIF of a virtual raccoon head.
    (Sorry if the GIF is artifact-y — I had to compress it to shrink the filesize.)

    Gylt, once a Stadia exclusive, is getting a second chance on PC and consoles.

    It’s launching on Steam, PlayStation, and Xbox on July 6th. Nice to see that a formerly Stadia-only title will be available elsewhere now that the cloud gaming service has been shut down.

    Dawn of the final day.

    24 hours remain (until the US launch of Tears of the Kingdom).

    Get ready for another Devolver Direct in June.

    E3 may be gone, but Devolver is planning another one of its showcases for June. I expect this one will be just as weird as past shows.

    Google will share more on its Android-powered “immersive XR” collaboration with Samsung later this year.

    That’s all the news we got on the platform at Google I/O, which the two companies (and Qualcomm) announced in February. Google might need to do more than that to distract from the Apple-sized gorilla that’s expected to enter the mixed reality fray in just a few weeks.
