The Nintendo Switch 2 has been unveiled and in prime Nintendo fashion, the Switch 2 will include its own hardware gimmick. For the original Switch, this was the ability to disconnect the Joy Cons. For the Switch 2, Nintendo is taking things a step further, transforming the Joy-Con into a gaming mouse. In this week's KitGuru Games we take a look at what the Switch 2's "mouse mode" could be used for and how it could revolutionise console gaming.

2025 is a busy year for Obsidian Entertainment, with the Microsoft-owned studio having just released their fantasy RPG Avowed – and The Outer Worlds 2 coming up later this year. Despite having quite a lot on their plate, the creative director for Avowed is hoping to support the series for years to come with expansions or even a sequel.

After three years of additional development, CD Projekt Red managed to transform Cyberpunk 2077 from a widely disappointing release into one of the best action RPGs on the market. One of the big focuses for improving the game was enhancing NPC AI, particularly for crowds and police chases. Now as development for Cyberpunk 2 gets underway, CD Projekt Red is looking to enhance its simulation systems to untold heights. 

There have been many disappointed enthusiasts who have been unable to get hold of an RTX 5090 or RTX 5080 graphics card since launch last month. In an effort to avoid scalpers buying up Founders Edition graphics cards, Nvidia has now set up a Verified Priority Access program. 

HBO’s The Last of Us was a huge hit when it released back in early 2023, amassing 10s of millions of viewers and winning a ton of awards. Though it was known that Season 2 is planned to arrive sometime in April of 2025, we’ve now gotten a concrete premiere date.

Despite the game’s undeniable success, one of Marvel Rivals’ game directors has announced that he and others from his team have now been laid off.

During the 1990s and early 2000s, instead of PlayStation, Nintendo and Xbox, the video games industry’s 3 console giants consisted of the aforementioned PlayStation and Nintendo – but also SEGA. Unfortunately, following the failure of the Dreamcast, the console maker would pivot to becoming a 3rd-party publisher. With Microsoft seemingly set to go a similar route, Xbox Head Phil Spencer has now directly addressed these comparisons.

As part of Sony’s live-service push from a couple years ago, the console maker announced Fairgame$ back in May of 2023: a “fresh, modern take on the heist genre”.

Late last year, we began to hear rumours that Sony Bend’s open-world zombie shooter ‘Days Gone’ could be getting a PS5 remaster in the wake of the release of Horizon Zero Dawn’s recent PS5 upgrade. Sure enough, during last night’s State of Play, Sony officially announced Days Gone Remastered alongside a bunch of nifty new additions.

The wait for laptops powered by Nvidia's RTX 50 series graphics is almost over. While CPU and GPU manufacturers typically shy away from announcing precise launch dates for gaming laptops due to the complexities of the supply chain, Nvidia has now confirmed the date.

Roman Der8auer has been busy testing RTX 5090 graphics cards following the first reports of melting 12VHPWR connectors. Much like when the RTX 4090 launched, at least one early RTX 5090 buyer has encountered an issue with the connector overheating and melting.

The RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 graphics cards officially launched last week but eager buyers were disappointed to find that the majority of stock had sold out and that prices were already on the rise. To make the buying process simpler, SCAN has launched its RTX 50 tracking page, promising transparent updates on stock, timings and even pricing changes. 

As a publisher, Square Enix has rather high aspirations for its games’ sales performance, with pretty much every title released by them winding up selling below their expectations. It therefore comes as quite a surprise that the recent Dragon Quest III remake actually managed to exceed said expectations.

In our latest CES 2025 coverage, Leo walks us through the Lian Li suite. The Vector V100 is a great place to start, as it offers incredible aesthetics for its target price. The RS1200 Power Supply and the O11D Evo Mini are standouts for impressive feature sets and other improvements.

Last month, following years of leaks, rumours and speculation, Nintendo finally officially announced and unveiled the Switch 2.

Following the disappointment of Battlefield 2042, EA and DICE seem to be going all-in for the series’ next entry, featuring more internal tests than ever before, and recently going live with its Battlefield Labs program.

While not quite the sales juggernaut that GTA is, Rockstar’s Red Dead Redemption series remains one of the biggest in the industry, with RDR2 alone selling more than 67 million units. Despite little post-launch support for the game (especially when it came to Red Dead Online), RDR2 has reached a new peak player count on Steam with just under 100,000 concurrents...

Intel has confirmed part of its CPU roadmap for the next two years, confirming the arrival of Panther Lake in 2025 and Nova Lake in 2026. But while Panther Lake's future in the desktop market remains uncertain, Nova Lake could shake things up with a new architecture with dual CPU tiles.

Back in August, we began to hear rumours that Microsoft was planning to bring Playground Games’ Forza Horizon 5 to PlayStation – following on from the likes of Grounded, Hi-Fi Rush and Sea of Thieves. Reports later claimed that this port had been internally delayed, but not cancelled. Finally, seemingly out of nowhere, Forza Horizon 5 has officially been announced for PS5.
