Summary GTA 6 lands Nov 19, narrowly making The Game Awards’ Nov 20 GOTY eligibility window. Several high-profile titles release in December and miss the Nov 20 cutoff, pushing them to 2027 contention. If you can’t wait, revisit classics—Daggerfall now has community multiplayer to keep you busy. The Game Awards are less than two months away, and with titles like 007 First Light, Control Resonant, and Forza Horizon 6 already on the market, it’s safe to say the competition for GOTY is very vibrant and fierce. But, of course, we all know which game is going to become the bestseller…

The epic Hyperice X Nike Hyperboot was selected for our 101 brilliant gadgets roundup last year and now Nike – in cahoots with fitness recovery specialist Hyperice – has taken some of the same tech and whacked it into… a pair of sliders. Now these sliders – known as the Hyperice X Nike Air Zoom Hyperslide – are no ordinary flip-flops. I mean, the epic price tag of $250/£239 should tell you that. They’re built for recovery after training and include some pretty crazy tech thanks to some Hyperice add-on packs that both heat and vibrate – I’ll tell you…

As an audio enthusiast, I love gear and try to stay ahead of the curve to get the best equipment my budget allows. I was understandably tempted by the affordable $300 Topping DX5 II desktop DAC and headphone amplifier, packed with modern features, compared with my Steinberg UR22 Mk II, which, after a decade, is getting a bit long in the tooth. But do the upgrades that would really benefit my sound require completely new hardware? My current DAC handles the audio quality I need My 10-year-old interface isn’t as outdated as I first thought Before making an impulse buy,…

NFL fans tuning in to watch this weekend’s Jackson Jaguars Vs Philadelphia Eagles game will almost certainly have spotted some seriously exclusive pairs of Sony headphones on display: the firm has been supplying the American Football league with sideline headsets for two seasons now, having replaced long-time rival Bose as the NFL’s official technology partner in 2024, but they’re next to impossible to get hold of if you’re not coaching staff. I was one of the first UK media to try them out on my home soil, ahead of kick-off at Tottenham Hotspur stadium. Sony also gave me a look…

You have a lot of choices when it comes to picking a streaming device. Most people go with Roku and call it a day, while many others use the streaming offered by their gaming console or built into their smart TV. But over ten years ago, Nvidia, a company that is now synonymous with AI, made a streaming device that people are still trying to buy today because it was and still is one of the most powerful streaming devices ever released. Related Your Roku just got a permanent ad on the home screen — here’s how to minimize it…

Buying for a Mac fan this Christmas? We’ve picked six accessories for making more of the Mac they already own. Apple’s latest launches have given us a couple of fresh ideas, but there’s plenty to like from other brands too. Here’s what we’d put under the tree (beyond an iPhone, that is). Apple HomePod Mini 2 Apple’s newly announced HomePod Mini 2 has a welcome addition for Mac owners. It can serve as their default speaker, playing audio from films, games, and video calls as well as music. Buy a second and they can use the two as a stereo…

German tech firm Loewe has debuted aura.matic, a fully automatic coffee machine with a very clever trick inside. It boasts two separate stainless-steel conical grinders with separate bean compartments. We’ve seen separate hoppers before on machines such as the De’Longhi Magnifica Duo and we’ve experienced swappable hoppers, too. But this fine setup means you can switch between two types of beans and keep the whole grinding process entirely separate. Of course this would normally be caffeinated and decaffeinated, but it doesn’t have to be. Loewe adds that should you wish, you can even combine the beans together, presumably for a…

Whizzing down a hill with the wind in your hair is what makes the climb worthwhile. But why tire your thighs when you can ascend with electrical assistance? The best electric bikes offer freewheeling fun with less sweaty pedalling. And if you’re looking for a two-wheeled steed to get you from A to B with a boost, this is the list you need. From city whizzers to trail blazers, we’ve tested all of the top battery-powered bicycles – enduring the saddle sores and dodgy lycra so you don’t have to. Whether you want an effortless everyday commute or a wilder…

Netflix was the first streaming service that I subscribed to, and the one that made me realize that we were entering a brave new world of on-demand entertainment, where an entire video rental store could be plucked from the ether. These services began piling up as more “essential” movies, shows, and documentaries came into the fold, and before long, my monthly streaming bill had ballooned to rival most cable packages. After one too many Netflix price hikes and evenings disappointed by the lack of fresh content, I decided enough was enough, and it was time to seek an alternative. To…

If there’s one thing that stops me from using my Fire TV Stick as my primary entertainment device, it’s the shoddy Wi-Fi connectivity. I own a third-generation Fire TV Stick, which, as you would expect, has started to show its age. I did recently breathe new life into my old Fire TV Stick with some simple settings changes. However, those only helped make it “less” clunky to use and navigate. The settings didn’t help with my biggest gripe with the device: network stability. I tried almost everything, from manually configuring the DNS to bringing my entertainment center closer to the…
