23 May 2026 at 00:31

A yellow smartphone labeled 'Trump Mobile' is displayed alongside a charging cable, a plug, a clear phone case, and a branded box with a large 'T' logo.

Trump Mobile has just given a master class on all of the things that should NOT be done when faced with a PR nightmare: rampant evasiveness? check; deliberate obfuscation? check; pinning the blame on others? check; hiding important facts from customers? double check. Even though the company has finally deigned to acknowledge the T1 Phone database leak, it is apparently still deliberating whether its customers should receive a formal intimation. Trump Mobile says it is still evaluating whether it should notify its customers of the exposure of their personal data We reported earlier this week that Trump Mobile's newly launched […]

Searching For The Term “disregard” Breaks Google Search, See For Yourself

22 May 2026 at 23:03

Searching for 'disregard' on Google Search breaks it

As absurd as it is, yes, if you Google the term “disregard” right now, you’ll get a broken search result, which is amusing to see, especially since this error comes days after the I/O 2026 keynote, where the technology giant introduced its revamped AI-powered version of Google Search. Google is misinterpreting the term “disregard” as an instruction rather than a search query, and unsurprisingly, the company is receiving criticism While standard search results, such as the term’s definition, show up at the bottom, the space under AI Overview is filled with nothing but black and white, depending on whether you […]

NVIDIA Taps Taiwanese Nanya Technology's LPDDR5X Memory For Vera Rubin Platform, Offering 3x Capacity & Over 50% Bandwidth Boost 1

With the Computex 2026 trade show in Taiwan coming up, analysts from GF Securities are confident that NVIDIA will address the latest trend in the AI computing industry at the event. Following Intel's first-quarter earnings, the industry's shift towards CPUs for agentic AI computing has generated speculation that the role that GPUs play within an AI cluster could drop.

A close-up of an unbranded metal smartphone frame with cutouts for buttons and ports on a dark surface.

Samsung is apparently trying to pair titanium's ruggedness with Aluminum's better thermal performance, bringing the best of both metal frames to its future lineup of foldables. Interestingly, Samsung's relatively simple approach to smartphone-geared metallurgy can serve as an effective counter to Apple's more complicated efforts with the so-called Liquidmetal. Samsung new 'dual-phase' frame fuses an outer titanium layer with an inner aluminum core, bringing superior rigidity and thermal performance to its foldables in the near future The tipster Schrödinger has just penned an interesting post on his Telegram channel, detailing Samsung's latest smartphone-related metallurgy efforts.

A close-up of a computer-generated character with short black hair and multicolored eyes, set against a black background.

It has been a long time since Devil May Cry 5 launched on PC and previous generation consoles, and, besides getting Vergil as a new playable character, the original versions of the game did not get any of the other improvements featured in the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S Special Edition release. However, some very interesting discoveries made by Reddit user Maarten PeTeRS suggest that CAPCOM may finally end its snubbing of the PC release.

Call of Duty is one of the biggest annual franchises in the video game industry, but that hasn't stopped it from going through a recent rough patch. Activision admitted the series was having an identity crisis and that the company's structural approach to releases contributed to its recent decline, but now it looks to put things back on track, as Infinity Ward claims 2026's release will be "the definitive Modern Warfare" game that kicks off "a new chapter" for the series.

22 May 2026 at 17:39

iPhone 17 discounts in China has resulted in a massive sales frenzy

Apple has incessantly faced overwhelming odds against local brands like Huawei, Xiaomi, and others in China, and there’s an ongoing belief that customers would pick these Android devices over an overseas company to fuel the nationalist sentiment. However, slap on a discount on the latest iPhone 17 lineup and see how that exact sentiment changes. Leading up to China’s “618” shopping festival, which is the region’s second-largest e-commerce sales event, price cuts on various Apple handsets have resulted in millions of activations, according to one tipster. The data shows that consumers will pick value over everything else, especially when there’s […]

Switch 2 Demand Holds Firm After $50 Price Hike: Nintendo Orders 20 Million Units as Analyst Says Buyers Will Adjust

22 May 2026 at 17:00

The image shows a concept of a Nintendo Switch 2 with Joy-Con controllers and a dock, set against a red background.

Bloomberg reports today that Nintendo is quietly raising its Switch 2 production quota to 20 million units for this fiscal year, a 20% increase over the 16.5 million units publicly outlined in the latest financial report that was released earlier this month. Nintendo is used to sharing very conservative estimates that are then handily beaten by the actual results. Dr. Serkan Toto, a renowned industry analyst, said as much to Bloomberg; he also believes that even the higher Switch 2 price won't stop consumers from buying the console. For them, there is no real downside in lowballing numbers first and […]

LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight: How to Fix PlayStation Controller Icons On PC

22 May 2026 at 15:21

A LEGO Batman minifigure stands in front of the Batmobile in a scene from the game 'LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight.'

LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight supports all major controllers on PC, including the DualSense controller. Support for the PlayStation 5 controller is among the best we have seen in recent times, as the controller's haptic feedback is also supported via a wireless Bluetooth connection. However, some players may not be able to enjoy these features or even see the correct DualSense icons when playing the game on PC via Steam. As there are no settings to change in the game's options menu, you will need to tweak your Steam settings to fix this issue. Disabling Steam Input If […]

GTA 6 November 19 Date Holds as Take-Two Beats Earnings, but Zelnick Stays Coy on the Inevitable PC Port

22 May 2026 at 14:30

Two characters from GTA 6 share a drink at a bar, each holding a bottle labeled Cerveza Payho.

Everyone was waiting for Take-Two Interactive's Q4 2026 report with bated breath, as it could have brought gamers news of a third GTA 6 delay. Luckily, that was not the case: the publisher confirmed that the November 19 date announced a full year in advance still stands. Marketing is also still slated to begin in the Summer, though Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick customarily declined to comment any further on marketing details, reiterating that more information will come straight from the label (that is to say, Rockstar Games). For the first time, the executive also answered a direct question about the […]

[UPDATE] The South Korean and Australian rating boards have rated Fable, making it even more likely that it will launch this year. [ORIGINAL STORY] Fable has been confirmed for a 2026 release earlier this year, but with Xbox's packed release schedule for the remainder of the year, and the release of Grand Theft Auto 6 in late November, the long silence on a precise release date is making more than a few wonder if the game will slip into 2027.

Galaxy S27 OLED Samples From Chinese Supplier Being Evaluated By Samsung, As A Lower Display Cost Becomes Point Of Attraction

22 May 2026 at 12:04

BOE may have successfully entered the Galaxy S27 supply chain

The base model of Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S27 series was previously rumored to feature OLED panels from BOE as the Korean giant was looking to diversify its supply chain in the hopes of keeping its margins healthy and costs low. While it would seem unheard of for this alliance to happen for Samsung’s premium smartphones, the DRAM shortage can force companies to make all sorts of decisions, and according to one tipster, the company is already evaluating the Chinese manufacturers’ OLEDs, which can be procured at lower prices. BOE could supply Galaxy S27 OLEDs at $5 less than Samsung’s own display manufacturing […]

Four characters from the game Destiny 2 stand in a dynamic pose, featuring a futuristic weapon and glowing eyes.

Following the shocking news that Bungie is ending any further development for Destiny 2, Bloomberg reports that the studio is about to suffer a significant round of layoffs. That's because there is currently no new game project to reassign those employees to, and even Destiny 3 is not in active production. That refutes rumors shared in late 2025 by Bungie leakers who had claimed that the next installment in the franchise was already in early development. It is sad news for all the millions of players who are fond of the sci-fi universe created by the studio, though this is […]

AT&T customer representative offered a freebie deal to a customer but it ended up being a nightmare

Microsoft appears to have abandoned even the pretense of trying to price its Surface laptops competitively against Apple's MacBooks in general and the MacBook Neo in particular Microsoft has just unveiled the refreshed versions of the Surface […]

The $499 T1 Phone from Trump Mobile comes with a pre-installed Truth Social app and a sieve-like approach to data privacy When Trump Mobile first touted the T1 Phone as "made in America," perhaps the company was being inordinately honest. After all, the T1 Phone seems […]

20 May 2026 at 21:06

A scene from the game 'Subnautica 2' shows multiple divers exploring an underwater coral landscape.

If 2025 was a year defined by hit indie games, then 2026 is, at least so far, proving to be defined by hit early access titles. Slay the Spire 2 kicked things off, followed by Windrose, and now it's Subnautica 2 picking up the torch and running straight into the ocean with it. According to a new report from Alinea Analytics, after Unknown Worlds' passed the two million sales mark in less than a day, its early access sequel went on to pass 4 million copies sold less than a week after launch, bringing in $100 million in revenue.

FSR 3.1 Got Ditched for PSSR 2.0 in 007 First Light’s PS5 Pro Version After 1-Day Integration Blew Devs Away

20 May 2026 at 20:30

A large banner in the game 007 First Light reading '25th anniversario gala' hangs in an elegant hall filled with people, classical sculptures, and a reception desk.

IO Interactive revealed on the official PlayStation Blog that their soon-to-be-released James Bond origin story game 007 First Light will launch with the new PSSR 2.0 algorithm on PlayStation 5 Pro. On other console platforms, the studio is using AMD FSR 3.1.5, but PSSR 2.0 offers significant visual improvements on the PS5 Pro hardware. Henrik Schlichter, Technical Director at IO Interactive, said in a statement: Upgraded PSSR gave us a meaningful jump in image quality across the board — cleaner, more stable, and noticeably sharper on the kind of fine detail that’s hardest to get right. It’s a clear upgrade […]

Quantic Dream’s Spellcasters Chronicles is No More, Claims Star Wars: Eclipse is “Not Affected” as it Suffers “Internal Reorganization”

20 May 2026 at 20:18

Six colorful, animated characters in dynamic poses are featured with the title 'Spellcasters Chronicles' prominently displayed below them.

Quantic Dream joins the seemingly ever-growing list of traditionally single-player focused studios to have a failed multiplayer title. The studio announced today that it is halting development of Spellcasters Chronicles, its free-to-play 3v3, PvPvE hero-based MOBA that launched in early access earlier this year. It's an unfortunate end, of course, for the team at Quantic Dream who truly believed in what they were making with Spellcasters Chronicles, but its shuttering is about as surprising as the sun rising. Particularly when you consider that it never captured the attention of more than 900 players at one time on Steam since it […]

Luna Abyss Review: Tight Movement and Stellar Performances Carry an Unmissable Shooter Despite Bland Enemy Design

20 May 2026 at 20:00

Luna Abyss

When I first checked out Luna Abyss earlier this year with its Steam Next Fest demo, I called it a clash between DOOM and Returnal because it was a fast-paced first-person shooter when you didn't have to worry about reloading your weapons, and you're constantly dodging slow to fast-moving orbs being hurled at you by enemies. That was just based on my short time with the demo, which consisted of only a couple of levels from the game. After playing through the full game, I'm glad my instincts weren't entirely off since that description of DOOM + Returnal remains apt. […]

Crimson Desert is the US’s Second-Best-Selling Game in 2026, and Tomodachi Life Tops April’s Charts Under Circana’s New Tracking Method

20 May 2026 at 19:12

Three cartoon-style characters ride animal-themed playground spring riders near a scenic lakeside in a video game.

As he does every month, Circana executive director Mat Piscatella has reported the sales charts for the top-selling video games in the United States for the past month, and for April 2026, it was Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream and Pragmata sailing high above the rest. Neither, however, are close to supplanting the best-selling games of 2026 in the US so far. Before getting into the notable inclusions on the charts, this month's release is a significant one because Circana has adapted its tracking method and now offers a more complete picture of what is and isn't actually a top-selling […]

Qualcomm wants a dual-sourcing approach with Samsung, but only if the latter improves its 2nm process

All is apparently well again in Samsung's world, with the proverbial sword of Damocles, which has been hanging over the global memory sphere in the shape of a crippling 18-day strike, has been sheathed again, as all eyes now turn to an upcoming deal ratification vote.

20 May 2026 at 18:57

A character from 'The Witcher 4' wearing a fur-lined hood with a sword visible on their back.

Coming after what is commonly regarded as one of the finest open-world role-playing games ever made, CD Projekt Red will have to go the extra mile with The Witcher 4 to deliver a game that will meet the high expectations its predecessor has set. Although it was eventually fixed and improved, Cyberpunk 2077's known launch woes are making more than a few worried that the studio's next big adventure will have a similarly troubled release. However, the Polish developer is imposing certain requirements to prevent the same development chaos that affected their previous games. “We've got some new requirements, especially a new […]

NVIDIA Loses Ground With AI Engineers as Cooling and Power Costs Push Hyperscalers Toward Custom ASICs, Evercore Warns

20 May 2026 at 18:52

A person in a shiny jacket holds up a graphics card on stage with a presentation backdrop.

While AI GPU giant NVIDIA's chips are widely believed to offer superior total cost of ownership (TCO) compared to custom AI chip alternatives, analysts from Evercore ISI believe that AI engineers are unimpressed by them. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang has defended his firm's AI chip price points on multiple occasions by claiming that they offer better performance efficiency compared to peers. However, according to the Evercore report, AI engineers are also focused on other metrics, such as the cost of cooling the chips, when deciding which products to use. Power Consumption & Cooling Are Important For NVIDIA's AI Chip Costs, […]

Unknown Worlds Won’t Add Combat to Subnautica 2, but Better Mitigation Tools Against Predatory Fish Are Coming

20 May 2026 at 18:06

A colorful fish swimming through orange coral in the game Subnautica 2.

Subnautica 2 finally arrived in early access after a long legal battle between the co-founders of developer Unknown Worlds and its parent company, Krafton, ended this past March in favour of the co-founders. It's already become one of the biggest hits of the year, selling two million copies in its first day, and as it goes in early access, the community has been very vocal about what it wants to see changed in the game. While Unknown Worlds has mostly been responsive to the feedback, there's one element that goes against one of the game's core tenets, and it doesn't […]

Three Samsung Galaxy smartphones in burgundy color are displayed, one showing a woman on its screen, with a matching stylus beside one device.

Samsung's Galaxy S27 lineup for next year is apparently getting a new member, dubbed the Galaxy S27 Pro. The tantalizing new variant is expected to sport Ultra-level specs, albeit packaged within a more handy form factor, in what is nothing short of a hefty nod to Apple's typical iPhone Pro duo-related strategy. Samsung Galaxy S27 Pro is expected to debut with a 6.47-inch display vs. a 6.9-inch one on the S26 Ultra, while sporting almost all Ultra-class specs According to ET News, Samsung is working on four Galaxy S27 models, with the Pro variant constituting a new addition.

Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 8 To Receive A Downgrade Beatdown, Making The Galaxy S26 Ultra A Far Cheaper And Superior Choice

20 May 2026 at 15:58

Samsung to heavily downgrade the Galaxy Z Fold 8

A series of price cuts will be enforced on Samsung’s premium smartphone lineup as part of its strategy to maintain profitability during the DRAM crisis, but that also means the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 8 is going to be downgraded to the extent that the Galaxy S26 Ultra becomes a more salivating option for buyers. After all, Samsung’s next foldable flagship isn’t just going to be expensive, but it will miss out on features that you’ll find on the company’s premium ‘candy bar’ offering. No privacy screen and lack of S Pen support on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 should […]

LEGO Batman Legacy of the Dark Knight: How to Build Focus While Gliding (Focused Maneuvers Guide)

20 May 2026 at 15:25

A scene from LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight shows Batman using a grappling hook in a cityscape with a billboard advertising 'Haly's Circus The Flying Graysons.'

In LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight, filling your Focus Bar is essential for using special moves like Takedowns. While Focus is built primarily during combat, there's a way to do so by boosting into a glide while traversing Gotham City. If you are doing so and Focus isn't building, it's because this technique isn't available from the beginning of the game. It has to be unlocked first.

Crimson Desert Clarity Mod Aims To Improve DLSS Ray Reconstruction Gameplay, But Everyone Benefits From The 4+ Battle Effect Removal

A character in Crimson Desert in intricate armor holding a sword stands beside a broken cart in a lush forest setting, from a game environment.

By all means, Crimson Desert is among the best-looking open-world games released in the current generation, but it's undeniable how Pearl Abyss may have gone a little too far with various combat effects which create a clarity issue at the moment where clean visuals matter the most, especially for those playing with NVIDIA DLSS Ray Reconstruction. Thankfully, a new mod addresses this issue in a way that benefits every user in some capacity. The Combat Clarity for DLSS Ray Reconstruction mod, developed by perkzy1 and now available for download from Nexus Mods, addresses the combat clarity issue by disabling certain […]

PlayStation 5 Runs Cyberpunk 2077 Path Tracing at 35 FPS, but Only After Dropping Internal Resolution to A Measly 348p

20 May 2026 at 13:41

A crash scene in the game 'Cyberpunk 2077' on PlayStation 5 features a Delamain taxi being pursued by a police vehicle engaged in a high-speed collision.

Since last month, the possibilities of PlayStation 5 owners who did not update their console in a long time exploded with the release of a new Linux loader that allows these users to turn their console into a very capable PC. The tech experts at Digital Foundry recently took advantage of this breakthrough to conduct a path tracing test on the system, which delivered some fascinating and unexpected results for a gaming system that was not designed for it. The three titles tested - Quake II RTX, Portal with RTX, and Cyberpunk 2077 - represent different stages of path tracing on PC. Quake II […]

Warhorse Drops Two Bombshells at Once: Kingdom Come Deliverance 3 and a Middle-earth RPG, as Embracer Spins Off Fellowship

A promotional image with text 'a new Kingdom Come adventure' on the left and 'an open world Middle-earth rpg' on the right, with the Warhorse logo at the bottom.

Two months after the rumor that Czech developer Warhorse Studios was working on a new open world game set in the world of The Lord of the Rings, the studio officially confirmed the news, stating publicly that it's working on a Middle-earth RPG as well as a "new Kingdom Come adventure". Presumably, the latter is Kingdom Come Deliverance 3; it could also be a spin-off of sorts. Then again, that seems unlikely given the excellent success of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, which sold five million units in its first year on the market and outperformed internal expectations even in the […]

The image features the logos 'D&D' from Wizards of the Coast and 'Giant Skull' on a textured background.

Less than a year ago, Wizards of the Coast announced that it would publish a single player action/adventure game based on its Dungeons & Dragons IP and developed by Giant Skull, the new studio founded in 2024 by God of War III and Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order & Survivor director Stig Asmussen. That project was short-lived, though. As first reported by Bloomberg, Wizards of the Coast canceled it earlier this year as part of a periodic review of upcoming projects.

Apple’s Premium Laptop Competitors Are Now Compromising Build Quality And Thermals To Match The MacBook Pro’s Slim Profile, With Horrendous Drawbacks

20 May 2026 at 11:05

Apple's MacBook Pro competitors are making their products too thin

The highly efficient Apple Silicon is what allows these SoCs to be used in thinner MacBook Pro models, and although these chips do get incredibly hot, these thermals are still manageable, unlike what Apple’s competitors are up to. Razer, which is regarded as the only other company to provide Windows laptops that are of equivalent build quality to a MacBook Pro, is now headed in the opposite direction, with its Blade 16 being too thin to accommodate powerful components. If that wasn’t bad enough, the company has also compromised on the build quality, which isn’t acceptable on a high-end machine. […]

Samsung's semiconductor division now appears destined for partial paralysis amid a general workers' strike that looks all but certain, especially after last-minute negotiations have collapsed again, with nary a reprieve in sight. Samsung's unionized workers now appear determined to go on an 18-day general strike on May 21 As per the reports that are just trickling out of South Korea, the last-minute negotiations between Samsung's unionized workers and its management have collapsed, setting the stage for the planned 18-day general strike to commence on May 21.

Has Smartphone Thermal Capabilities Hit A Wall? Latest Results Show Cooling Solutions Are Unable To Tame Mobile SoC Performance

20 May 2026 at 00:20

Has smartphone thermal capabilities hit a wall?

Every generation, we see smartphone chipsets break some kind of performance record and achieve feats that we thought weren’t even remotely possible, such as running AAA games at decent visual settings. However, two metrics that we’ve more or less ignored while admiring these SoCs are power consumption and temperature. Putting aside the benchmarks and those impressive framerates, a new discussion paired with some test results has shown that it’s becoming increasingly difficult for smartphone makers to effectively cool chips, and it appears as though the problem will get worse. With vapor chambers unable to effectively transfer heat from smartphone chipsets, […]

An iPhone 17 Pro Was Used To Demo Gemini Spark Instead Of A Pixel, Showing Google Executives’ Preferences Lie Far From The Company’s Own Products

19 May 2026 at 22:48

Gemini Spark was demoed using an iPhone 17 Pro

It’s never a good look for a company when you’re flaunting a competitor’s smartphone to demo a product on stage, but Josh Woodward, who spearheads Google Labs, Gemini app, and AI Studio, likely didn’t care when he was caught demoing an iPhone 17 Pro to showcase Gemini Spark, the Mountain View giant’s latest personal AI agent designed to help with productivity. Given that the company’s Pixel series is a direct competitor to the iPhone, it would have been a better look when displaying company loyalty if a Pixel 10 Pro or a Pixel 10 Pro XL were being used, but […]

Mario, wearing a red cap with an 'M' emblem, clutches his chest while standing in a lush field of giant red mushrooms with white spots.

Earlier this month, it was finally confirmed that Nintendo could hold out no longer. The Nintendo Switch 2 is going up in price, with a $50 increase going into effect globally on September 1, 2026. It's a sign of Nintendo, like XBOX and PlayStation, succumbing to the combined pressures of elements like the memory shortage and tariffs, but according to veteran analyst Joost van Dreunen, this final domino falling is "the canary in the coal mine" that if even Nintendo can't stick to its traditional guns, "none of the old rules" of the video game industry are relevant. If van […]

Portrait of a professional man in glasses and a suit with a geometric background.

In a fresh interview, Intel's CEO Lip-Bu Tan candidly discussed his firm's current market position and the mistakes made under the previous position. Tan, whose tenure at Intel has seen the firm manage to turn around its dismal share price performance, is one of the most experienced executives in the industry. During Intel's latest earnings call, he shifted the narrative around the AI buildout and asserted that agentic AI would make CPUs relevant in the ongoing multi-billion-dollar buildout. In his interview, he admitted that the currently high demand for CPUs could only grow in the future and added that his […]

Skyrim Finally Gets True HDR After 2 Years of Modding Work, Fixing Bethesda’s Brutal Highlight Clipping

19 May 2026 at 22:00

A digital image overlay of a scenic landscape with stone stairs and wood structures displays a logo above the text 'HDR' and 'Skyrim COMMUNITY SHADERS'.

A few days ago, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim received a substantial visual upgrade with the addition of true HDR support brought by the Community Shaders PC mod, which previously introduced true PBR and frame generation support to Bethesda's best-selling game. This means anyone who owns an HDR-compatible display will be able to benefit from greatly improved brightness peaks, helping breathe new life into the 2011 game's visuals alongside the other Community Shaders features. The CS team worked with this alongside the folks at HDR Den, including HDR evangelist Filippo Tarpini (whom I previously interviewed at length on the state […]

Nintendo, Konami, and Bandai Namco All Benefit From Japanese Investors Pulling Away From AI, With 6-9% Stock Increases

19 May 2026 at 19:13

The image shows a Nintendo Switch OLED model with 'D2' branding on the left, a black and white sketch of a character in the center, and a digitally rendered muscular fighter with glowing red effects on the right.

A report from Bloomberg (via TheNextWeb) shows that Nintendo has been able to bounce back slightly from its stock price cratering earlier in the month when the company not only announced a Nintendo Switch 2 price hike, but a declining fiscal year 2027 forecast for the new console's sales. The reason? Japanese investors are starting to pull away from investing in AI and back into more established and trusted entities, giving Nintendo a 6.8% jump on Tuesday, marking a three-day winning streak. It's also not the only Japanese developer benefiting from the AI exodus, as Bandai Namco and Konami both […]

Characters from 'Fortnite' are standing on a hill and vehicle overlooking a vibrant and expansive landscape with a lake, buildings, and an 'EMINEM' sign visible in the distance.

There's light at the end of the tunnel of the incredibly protracted legal battle between Epic Games and Apple that began six years ago when Epic first introduced its own direct payment system in Fortnite, bypassing Apple's 30% fee on all transactions on iOS. The case has taken several major turns and been the cause of a lot of industry shuffling, but at long last, the popular battle royale is back on iOS devices in almost every region across the globe. The 'almost' stipulation applies to the fact that Fortnite is not back on iOS devices in Australia yet, despite […]
