    A look at Apple TV’s early 2026 lineup.

    New seasons of Hijack, The Last Thing He Told Me, Shrinking, and Monarch are all on the docket as well as the debut of the film Eternity. Personally, I’m anticipating Hijack the most; the first season was so dumb but also was way more gripping than I expected.

    The best part of The Game Awards? The orchestra.

    Gaming’s biggest awards show might be losing its luster, but last night’s annual Game of the Year medley was as good as ever. The transition from Hades II to Pauline’s song from Donkey Kong Bananza? Chills. And of course, there was a lot of Flute Guy, who even brought a custom PVC pipe flute.

    Even more Expedition 33.

    Hot off its Game of the Year award, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is getting a “Thank You” update that’s rolling out now. It has a new playable area accessible from Act III, a photo mode, AMD FSR 4 support, Steam Deck and Xbox Ally certification, and a lot more.

    Now this is podracing?

    Star Wars: Galactic Racer, which is launching in 2026, looks like the Star Wars Episode I: Racer successor I’ve always wanted. While it seems to focus more on various Star Wars vehicles than just podracers, the trailer includes a brief shot of Sebulba and the iconic sound of his podracer. I know my main already.

    Housemarque’s next game is getting a small delay.

    Saros will now launch on April 30th, 2026, a slightly later release than its previously planned March launch. In a new trailer, it looks just as intense as the excellent Returnal, and I’m counting the days until I can play it.

    Deus Ex Remastered has been delayed indefinitely.

    Following the poor reception to the game’s recent announcement trailer, Aspyr is no longer planning to launch the game on February 5th, 2026. Aspyr hasn’t provided a new release date, and given that the company is fully refunding preorders, the game probably won’t come out anytime soon.
