After months of leaks and rumors, the lid has finally been lifted on the AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT release date, as the new gaming GPU has just been unveiled at Computex. AMD has also revealed the 9060 XT price and specs, and it looks like it's going to give the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 a really hard time. After securing the best graphics card title with its mid-range graphics cards, this new AMD GPU takes aim at the cheaper end of the graphics card market. AMD has already proved that its RDNA 4 architecture can be a formidable force in our Radeon RX 9070 XT review, and AMD has been similarly aggressive with the pricing of the 9060 XT.

Star Wars Battlefront 2 has seen a jaw-dropping player spike recently, and it’s largely thanks to the recent success of another project existing in the galaxy far, far away. Other factors that have contributed to the player increase include the May 4 celebrations, an annual Star Wars event, and the anniversary of Star Wars: Episode 3 – Revenge of the Sith, which received a re-release in cinemas. Additionally, Fortnite’s new Galactic Battle could also have brought a large chunk of players back to Star Wars Battlefront 2, which involves an Imperial takeover in the battle royale.

Doom: The Dark Ages has seen 3 million players since coming out last week, but Bethesda has yet to announce a sales figure for the game. A social media post from Bethesda confirmed that Doom: The Dark Ages is the biggest launch in id Software’s history by player count, getting to 3 million seven times faster than 2020’s Doom Eternal. It’s worth digging into the details on these numbers. Doom: The Dark Ages released across PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X and S on May 15, 2025. Steam is the only platform that makes player numbers public, so let’s start there. On Steam, Doom: The Dark Ages hit a peak concurrent player count of 31,470, and has a 24-hour peak of 16,328 concurrent players. Doom: Eternal hit a peak concurrent player count of 104,891 five years ago, a figure that makes The Dark Ages look like it struggled relatively on Valve’s platform. 2016’s Doom, for extra context, has a peak concurrent player count of 44,271 on Steam, a figure set nine years ago. However, we must consider the Game Pass effect when thinking about these numbers. Doom: The Dark Ages was a day-one launch across Game Pass for both Xbox consoles and PC. There will be a number of people who dipped into The Dark Ages via Game Pass, rather than pay the $69.99 it costs to buy the game in the U.S. Perhaps, from Microsoft’s point of view, that’s absolutely fine. It wants to sell PC Game Pass and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscriptions after all. But we’ve seen games sell well while also launching day-one on Game Pass, such as the $50 Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Clair Obscur has sold an impressive 2 million copies, despite also launching on Game Pass. Doom: The Dark Ages is more expensive — might its price have put some people off? Which leads me to the next point: Bethesda has announced 3 million players for Doom: The Dark Ages, but not a sales figure. It’s a similar approach it took when celebrating the success of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, which has seen 4 million players while also launching day-one on Game Pass. Coincidentally, Ubisoft also announced 3 million players for Assassin’s Creed: Shadows, rather than hard sales. In truth, only Bethesda and Microsoft will know if Doom: The Dark Ages has hit whatever internal targets it has set. But it’s safe to say that the 3 million player count suggests Doom: The Dark Ages has done particularly well on console and Game Pass, while perhaps struggling on Steam. IGN's Doom: The Dark Ages review returned a 9/10. We said: "Doom: The Dark Ages may strip away the mobility focus of Doom Eternal, but replaces it with a very weighty and powerful style of play that is different from anything the series has done before, and still immensely satisfying in its own way."

Kubfu can finally evolve into Urshifu in Pokémon Go, but trainers will find they have two distinct evolutions to pick from. Deciding which you want to choose is vital, as both have their own strengths and weaknesses. These differences offer unique bonuses depending on your play style, with both forms of Urshifu having their own benefits depending on what you are after. To me, though, there is a clear winner when it comes to choosing which Urshifu to get, or you can always get both if you managed to buy the special ticket at the start of the season that gave you two Kubfu.

Both Urshifus have similar stats in the mobile game, but in terms of preference, the Fighting and Dark-type feels like the better call to the Water Fighting typing—but it's really down to personal preference.

Oh, Dope Wars '98, let me count the ways you moulded me into the man I am today, buying extra large trench coats in which to store my 100 units of acid. Military Incremental Complex riffs off that game's unmistakably '98 interface, but instead of playing a cool and aspirational heroin entrepreneur, you play a dastardly bullet merchant. Begin crafting artisan handmade farm-fresh shotgun shells, work your way up to nukes. Typical woke renewable energy propaganda. Can't even sell massive bundles of dynamite with '****' written on them anymore in case it offends the coyotes. You'll "produce multiple different weapons, research upgrades, manipulate the stock market, and lobby the government for favours". It's from Space Kraken, makers of Squeebing Up The Tower Of Friendship, a game I have not played but enjoy saying the name of aloud. Squeebing. Squeeeebing. "6 hours in the demo and another hour in the released game, I still have no idea what squeebing is," reads one review. UrbanDictionary defines 'squeebing' as … actually, I'm not repeating what UrbanDictionary defines squeebing as. Here's a trailer with wholesome god-fearing guns in it instead.
