Xbox Cloud Gaming, the selection of streamable games available to Game Pass subscribers, is about to get a whole lot better for PC gamers. Currently, Xbox Cloud Gaming titles only support gamepad and touch controls, but mouse and keyboard support is coming, it’s been revealed. During a community Q&A video (opens in new tab) spotted by our sister site Windows Central (opens in new tab), Microsoft Flight Simulator Head Jorg Neumann announced that players wouldn’t have to make do with a gamepad when streaming the game for too much longer....

It’s still far from easy to buy but is well worth the effort. Having been out for more than a year now, the Xbox Series X has a better roster of games for lucky owners to try out, including a handful of new titles as well as enhanced versions of some of the best Xbox One games. PS5 vs Xbox Series X: Which console should you buy?On a budget? Check out our Xbox Series S review...

The Xiaomi 12T is a mid-life revision to the Xiaomi 12 Pro. It’s still not coming to the U.S., but it does mean that U.K. buyers have a new option when searching for a flagship phone, particularly if they were waiting on the Google Pixel 7’s arrival but were disappointed by the leaked rumored specs. Like the Xiaomi 11T Pro and Xiaomi 12 Pro before it, the 12T Pro offers one of the fastest charging standards on any phone, with 120 watts of power on offer from the in-box charger....

YouTube is giving you yet another excuse to cut the cord by offering 4,000 free TV episodes for U.S. users to watch. The only snag is that you’ll have to watch ads in order to access the free content. As announced on the YouTube Official Blog (opens in new tab), this is an expansion of YouTube’s existing 1,500-strong library of free-to-watch movies. YouTube is promising to add 100 new titles each week, with the option to rent or pay for content to eliminate the ads temporarily or permanently....

The 49ers (10-7) just squeaked into the playoffs following a 27-24 overtime win over the Rams in week 18. The win featured 21 second-half points by the Niners and a game winning field goal in overtime. A San Francisco loss, coupled with the New Orleans Saints winning their final game of the season, would have bounced the 49ers from postseason contention. After missing the playoffs last year the Niners started this season just 3-5....

Now a co-CEO and co-chair of DC Studios (one half of the new regime, as Peter Safran will run the business side), Gunn gained great power and an even larger responsibility. Now, the man who brought Marvel’s Guardians to life is tasked with saving the DC Extended Universe movies (while also working on its TV projects, including animation). ‘Saving’ is the important word there because the DC Universe stands in stark contrast with Marvel Studios and Disney’s MCU....

Well, “someday” has arrived. It’s time to take stock of the games you already have in your library, and determine which of them are worth finishing. If you have your own system for tackling a backlog, go off and enjoy; we’ll see you in September, when new games start trickling in again. If you could use a few pointers, here are some tried-and-true methods from the Tom’s Guide staff....

A Plague Tale: Requiem review: Gameplay A Plague Tale: Requiem is a stealth/action game focused around solving the mystery of Hugo’s blood disease and finding a cure. You overcome various obstacles, solve puzzles, and traverse mazes of enemy soldiers and hungry plague rats by using a combination of stealth skills, alchemy and direct combat. The game’s stealth system is pretty advanced, with options to blind, stun and misdirect enemies with alchemy, thrown objects and the environment itself....

Having laminate flooring throughout my home meant that I was often mopping it to keep it dust-free and spotless. The steam mop (in theory), offered the convenience and power my floor care routine was missing. Firstly, using one of these meant I didn’t have to always fill up a bucket with hot, soapy water, nor continuously wring out a wet mop. The fact that it heats up the water reservoir in seconds would make it quick to use, and tidying up would be a breeze too....

In our Beats Studio 3 Wireless Headphones review we labeled the headphones a “solid choice” and were particularly impressed with the heavy bass and ease of use when paired with an iPhone, connecting in mere seconds. While we found the active noise cancellation, in general, to be somewhat lacking, at this price point the Beats Studio 3 should more than hold their own against competitors. With the ANC enabled users can expect a healthy 20 hours of battery life and without ANC a hefty 40 hours....

This year, the world’s biggest streaming service certainly isn’t shaking off its reputation; if anything it’s double-downing with a host of original series already confirmed to be done. Making matters worse, some of these shows only got a single season to find an audience, and several of them enjoyed stellar reviews and even cracked the Netflix’s most-watched list. At this point, we’re wondering just what it takes to be deemed a success by the Netflix....

We’ve heard mention of this rumor before, but it just got more weight thanks to a new Geekbench 5 benchmark (opens in new tab) that now suggests the standard Galaxy S23 will get an overclocked Qualcomm chip just like the Galaxy S23 Ultra. The S23 Ultra’s powered-up Snapdragon silicon was tipped via an earlier benchmark result. While the Galaxy S23 isn’t explicitly named in the Geekbench benchmark, the model number SM-S911B is used, which is widely believed to be the standard Galaxy S23, as it follows with previous model number conventions of prior Galaxy S-series phones....

What is Apple’s MacBook offer? According to the report, the discount is not for an out-of-date or obsolete product. The offer instead applies to the current MacBook Pro 14-inch and 16-inch models. Supposedly the biggest Apple deal in five years, businesses who order between 5 and 24 MacBook Pros (it can be a mixture of 14-inch and 16-inch versions) from the Cupertino company will receive a tidy 8% discount on their purchase....

Apple TV Plus, since launch, has felt like small-ball. And that’s not an insult. Much like the Oakland Athletics, Tim Cook’s streaming team has been putting together base-hit (Schmigadoon!) after base-hit (Mythic Quest), and eventually knocking home runs with its bigger successes (Ted Lasso, Trying). But at Tuesday’s “Peek Performance” Apple Event, Tim Cook’s streaming service turned up the heat. Apple TV Plus made serious waves in two categories, one it had already played in, and another that was only the stuff of rumors....

The Apple Watch 8 price remains a major question as we start the countdown to the Apple Event on September 7. While we can’t know for sure whether we’ll see the Apple Watch Series 8 on stage, it seems likely it’ll be part of the company’s fall hardware announcements. So, again, how much will the Apple Watch 8 cost? This is an important bit of information that will be shared at the conclusion of the anticipated Apple Watch 8 announcement....

In a week when Samsung unveiled a (currently dormant) temperature sensor for its new Galaxy Watch 5, we now have the biggest indication that Apple will be following suit when the Apple Watch 8 launches next month. This week, an Apple patent entitled “Temperature gradient sensing in electronic devices (opens in new tab)” was spotted by MyHealthyApple (opens in new tab). Though it doesn’t specifically mention the Apple Watch, it does highlight the tech’s possible application in smartwatches, and indeed the only device depicted in the diagrams looks an awful lot like an Apple Watch....
