Amidst all the disappointing news, there was one positive development: The unexpected reveal that Helldivers 2 will be available on Xbox. I had assumed it would never happen, considering Sony has never released a title from its PlayStation Studios on Microsoft’s platform before. However, it appears that a version of this much-loved 2024 co-op shooter is indeed coming to Xbox Series X|S later in the year, specifically on August 26. This new release will include cross-play compatibility with both PC and PS5 versions.

Currently, there’s a $50 discount on the Legion Go S (SteamOS). This offer applies whether you opt for the high-end model priced at $779.99, featuring the Ryzen Z1 Extreme, or the more budget-friendly one with the Ryzen Z2 Go, priced at $549.99. While we suggest the former, it’s always beneficial to have choices.

How naive of me.

Since then, players have been steadily pouring into the 2017 FPS game, available on both Xbox and PC. This influx might be due to the game being included in Game Pass on these platforms, a subscription service that allows players to play the game for free who would otherwise have to pay $60. Regrettably, this anticipated resurgence of the “boots on the ground” shooter has been tainted by numerous reports of troubling RCE hacks during online multiplayer sessions.

In fact, it’s noticeable that many gamers are migrating towards Windows 11, as the data shows, not only compared to previous versions like Windows 10, but also in a broader context.

According to the store details, Helldivers 2 is being exclusively published by PlayStation, unlike the MLB games developed by Sony San Diego which are independently published on Xbox by Major League Baseball itself. This game, however, is being developed for PC porting by Arrowhead Game Studios in collaboration with Nixxes Software, a renowned Dutch studio specializing in bringing PlayStation Studio games to Windows PC. Helldivers 2 is scheduled to debut on the Xbox Series X|S on August 26, 2025, and both Standard Edition and Super Citizen Edition are now available for pre-order.

Previously, my coworker, Zachary Boddy, wrote our review for the Lenovo Legion Go S (Windows), and he came away with a sense of slight letdown. We both had high expectations that this SteamOS version might excel in areas where the previous one fell short.

This significantly changes the browser’s appearance, making it less attractive than it previously was, and giving it a broken or incomplete look. However, other elements of Windows 11, such as first-party apps like File Explorer, Notepad, and the overall OS interface, continue to incorporate translucent blur effects. Unfortunately, Microsoft Edge is now lacking this key design aspect, causing it to stand out awkwardly and seem incomplete.

The CEO of OpenAI, Sam Altman, stated that ChatGPT currently surpasses the capabilities of any human who has ever existed. Yet, he expressed worries about the excessive trust people place in this AI chatbot, as it can sometimes fabricate information, a phenomenon known as hallucinating. Altman further emphasized, “The technology we should be cautious about is the one we don’t trust too much.

Kicking off the new year, OpenAI unveiled their monumental $500 billion Stargate initiative, aiming to establish data centers nationwide for their AI progress. This announcement sent shockwaves through the tech sphere, with leaders like Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff speculating that Microsoft might steer clear of OpenAI’s technology in the future.
