- Apple’s M5 iPad Pro remains a top quality tablet with superb gaming performance. Their forays into advanced multitasking and professional apps show more mixed results however.
- GRID is another strong Switch 2 port, packing solid visuals and a litany of modes to sift through. For racing fans, it’s an easy buy.
- Check out DF Direct 248, which contains early thoughts on Forza Horizon 6 and other Developer_Direct titles. Plus, tests on some good (and not so good) Switch 2 updates - and the Xbox port of FF7 Remake.
- FF 7 Remake is a great-looking RPG that’s been smoothly ported to Switch 2. If you’re looking to play Square’s 2020 epic, this is a great option. youtu.be/yUjYGy7cqog?...
- If Ubisoft developers’ comments are anything to go by, we’re going to see many more demanding Switch 2 ports this generation.

- Hot off the presses, our first CES 2026 video! We took a stop by Nvidia’s booth yesterday for a preview of DLSS 4.5 and other goodies.
- If you see Alex and I at CES feel free to say hi! We should have CES content on the channel over the next week. @dachsjaeger.bsky.social
- My game of the year list ended up being a bit of a Switch 2 Edition, driven by an excellent lineup of exclusives for Nintendo's new console.

- P3R's latest Switch 2 patch greatly improves on a problematic port. But the T239 silicon is still underutilized, with odd visual settings choices and no DLSS.
- Bloober Team drops a Switch 2 holiday bombshell - 60fps ray tracing with UE5. But core tech enhancements are likely needed before other UE5 titles make the Switch 2 jump.
- FF7 Remake on Switch 2 looks like a high quality port. Stable performance, solid image quality, and pleasing visual settings make this one of the most impressive Switch 2 games to date.

- My top music for 2025 from Apple Music Replay ! This is what gets me through many hundreds of hours of video edits every year. These days mostly pop music that is sort of hyperpop adjacent. About 69,000 minutes total.
- Shadows is an excellent new “impossible port” for Switch 2, packing solid visuals and decent image quality. But frame-pacing woes in the current version should be fixed for docked play.
- Kirby Air Riders is an entertaining racing game, and it provides a thorough workout for the brand new SOL-AVES engine. It's hard to fault this Switch 2 exclusive and its high-octane visuals.

- What’s the most you would pay for a Steam Machine? There isn’t really anything like it out so I’m curious to hear what people think. If it’s indeed priced more like a similar PC ($700 to $800) is that too much?
- STALKER 2 had a rough launch, but its performance level has increased greatly in patch 1.7, despite little notice from the developer - and the apparent absence of a major Unreal Engine version update.

- Valve’s Steam Frame is a multifaceted streaming/standalone VR headset that should provide a best-in-class gaming experience.
