Blizzard has announced that the cost of World of Warcraft subscriptions, Tokens, cosmetics, and change and transfer features is increasing - but not for everyone. Players in both Australia and New Zealand will soon be spending more money than before on various WoW features, after another increase in costs from back in 2020. There is a small, temporary saving grace though, as recurring subscriptions from before the price increase comes into effect will not go up until later in the year. Read the rest of the story...

Sony’s offering the Dual Sense Edge Controller, the Pulse wireless headphones and earbuds, and the PlayStation Portal in sleek and sexy midnight ****** to match the PS5 cover and Dual Sense controller it released back in 2021. Though the announcement wasn’t specifically apart of the CES celebrations, it did neatly coincide with the news that Sony’s giving Helldivers the Sonic and Mario treatment. The company also announced that its Horizon Zero Dawn adaptation is no longer a TV show produced by Netflix but a full-fledged movie that’ll cover Aloy’s exploits in the first game, and that the second season of The Last of Us is coming to HBO in April. PlayStation’s website has the details on pricing for the electronics with pre-orders starting on January 16th. If you’d rather wait, the accessories will hit retailers on February 20th.

Image: Razer It’s becoming a tradition for Razer to show off some pretty wild prototypes at CES, but the concept gaming chair with integrated heating and cooling it just unveiled actually sounds downright practical. Project Arielle is a mesh gaming chair that features a bladeless fan system that’s designed to keep you at a comfortable temperature regardless of what environment you’re in. We briefly tried it here at CES 2025 and it’s cool! Or warm, depending on the mode you set it to. When my colleague Sean Hollister tried it, he found it didn’t just warm or cool his butt, but gently and quietly blew a substantial amount of climate-controlled air onto his upper back from small holes along the chair’s top edge. Photo by Antonio G. Di Benedetto / The Verge A more comfortable way to freeze your butt off. Building on the $1,049 Razer Fujin Pro mesh gaming chair that you can currently buy, Project Arielle has three adjustable fan speeds that can reduce the perceived temperature by 2 to 5 degrees Celsius (around 3.6 to 9 degrees Fahrenheit) in “dry environments,” according to Razer. That sounds pretty useful if you live in a hot climate or if your gaming PC kicks out enough heat to turn your room into a sweatbox. Image: Razer Here’s a rendering that shows how the hot or cool air is dispersed from the chair. For chillier environments, the chair has a built-in PTC heating system (the same kind found in most vehicles and heated car seats) that can ***** out warm air at 30 degrees Celsius (86 degrees Fahrenheit). The fans and that temperatures are adjusted using touch panel controls located next to the seat pad. And given this is a Razer product, there’s obviously RGB lighting throughout the chair. By default, it’s set to Razer’s trademark green when it’s off, and we saw the edge glow red when warm, blue when cool, and purple or orange when cooling or warming. Photo by Antonio G. Di Benedetto / The Verge Icons on the touch-controlled panel and the built-in RGB lighting indicate whether the chair is set to blast warm or cold air. One downside: you can’t spin 360 degrees in this chair without wrapping a cord around yourself, as it does need to be plugged in. But even the prototype already has a cable that’ll safely disconnect if you accidentally give it a yank. Photo by Antonio G. Di Benedetto / The Verge The breakaway cable will disconnect if it’s pulled, kinda like the early Xbox controllers. Given Project Arielle is only a concept chair, this unfortunately isn’t something you can actually buy just yet. Razer has showcased a lot of quirky gaming gadget concepts at CES over the years, including chair cushions that shake your **** with haptic feedback. While some do eventually get released as fully realized products — such as the Razer Edge gaming tablet born from “Project Fiona” and the Zephyr RGB face mask that got the company into trouble with the Federal Trade Commission over N95 compliance claims — others, like the Project Sophia modular desk computer and Project Valerie triple-screen laptop, have never been rolled out.

Photo by Antonio G. Di Benedetto / The Verge Razer has announced some new handheld gaming goodies, including remote PC streaming capabilities for the Kishi Ultra mobile controller and a folding multiplatform RGB dock for the Steam Deck, Nintendo Switch, and more. Razer says its Handheld Dock Chroma is a “6-in-1” docking station that transforms phones, tablets, or handheld gaming devices “into powerful gaming consoles” with 100W power passthrough support for charging. It’s priced at $79.99 and will be available on January 30th, with preorders starting on January 7th. The Handheld Dock Chroma is a similar concept to the official docking stations provided by Valve or Nintendo, allowing users to hook handheld devices up to external displays with expanded connections to complement big-screen gaming setups. The Handheld Dock Chroma uses a USB-C cable to connect supported devices, including Android phones and tablets, iPads and iPhones with USB-C ports, Steam Deck, Nintendo Switch, and Razer’s own Edge Android gaming handheld. Image: Razer Here are the port options in the rear, plus the USB-C cable to connect to your device. Devices like the Nintendo Switch, with the port on the base, will have to go upside down. Image: Razer When folded closed, the Handheld Dock Chroma just looks like a funky streaming box. The cable is located on the rear of the docking station, alongside a USB-C power port, an HDMI output to connect to a TV or gaming monitor, a gigabit ethernet port, and three USB-A ports to connect things like controllers or keyboards. Given the cable placement, certain handhelds like the Switch that have their ports on the underside will need to be positioned upside down in the dock. The dock itself is constructed from aluminum and folds down into a box shape to make it easier to transport without damaging it. And given this is a Razer product, there’s naturally a Chroma-enabled RGB bar located at the front, which users can customize with various lighting effects. Photo by Antonio G. Di Benedetto / The Verge There’s plenty of ports to hook up things like mice, keyboards, and controllers — providing they use a USB-A connection. Razer is also introducing a PC Remote Play feature for the Kishi Ultra mobile controller, among other controllers, allowing users to stream games directly from PCs to smartphones and tablets. The feature also makes use of the Kishi Ultra’s Sensa HD support, which converts audio output into haptic feedback on supported Android devices (but sadly isn’t available for iOS). PC Remote Play allows games to be streamed at full resolution without compromising “visual quality or game speed,” according to Razer, and can be accessed via the Razer Nexus app on iOS or Android. Photo by Antonio G. Di Benedetto / The Verge Razer’s new PC Remote Play feature provides PC-to-Phone streaming capabilities similar to the Steam Link mobile app. Razer tells us the PC Remote Play feature is built on top of the popular Moonlight streaming client, and is particularly proud of how it can automatically run your game at your phone’s native resolution and refresh rate.

Racing games had a difficult time in 2024. Forza Horizon 4 was delisted from digital stores. Servers for The Crew were turned off for good. In the fast-paced world of new releases and yearly updates, some of the best and most beloved games just don't make the cut. But it's not all bad news. Despite also vanishing from online stores, Forza Horizon 3, the ***********-based open-world icon that PCGamesN called "the best racing game of its generation," is still with us. It looked like it was about to die, but Playground has swiftly stepped in. Read the rest of the story...

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 is finally official, and Nvidia is making one spectacularly bold claim about its performance. The company has declared this new $549, mid-range gaming GPU will be faster than the RTX 4090, though as you might imagine there's a catch. With Nvidia taking to the stage at CES to announce its full suite of RTX 5000 gaming GPUs, including the flagship RTX 5090, it revealed a host of interesting new products and technologies. However, it was the company's bold claim about the RTX 5070 that was perhaps most striking. Read the rest of the story...

Last night, at CES 2025, Nvidia finally announced their RTX 50 series graphics cards, and can I just say that I am wise to the RTX 5090’s tricks. A GPU that eats up to 575W and costs £1939 / $1999? Yeah, nice try, Geoffrey N. Vidia, but such a mad card couldn’t possibly exist in reality. It’s clearly only here to make the other ones, the RTX 5080, RTX 5070 Ti, and RTX 5070, look like better deals. Read more View the full article

League of Legends Season One 2025 is about to start, marking the beginning of a new era with a reworked Ranked structure, a transformed Rift map, and changes to Teleport. But even before launch, the new LoL patch has already been criticized by one of the game's most prominent streamers and creators, Los Ratones coach Marc Robert 'Caedrel' Lamont. Calling the new patch "horrible," Caedrel says that the changes to TP lean too heavily on influences from LoL's spin-off TV series Arcane, and that various aspects of the new patch feel like they cater to players coming to League of Legends for the first time after watching the show, rather than long-time fans of Riot's MOBA.

Countless are the pretenders to Dungeon Keeper's skull-buttressed throne, but I sense a certain fearful promise in The Deadly Path, a building management and roguelike strategy game from Owlskip Enterprises. The setup here is that you're stuck in a tabletop underworld with a bunch of elder gods, or Dread Deities. As Custodian of this dusty funereal expanse, you must place structures on tiles around your throne room, striving to fulfil the desires of whichever Dread Deity is in play, while fending off pernicious attackers from the realm of light.
