Stellar Blade heads to PC on June 11
The well-reviewed Stellar Blade will be available for PC players on June 11, after launching for PS5 in April of last year. This release coincides with a system update that brings new outfits and "exciting additional content." The update will be available for both PC and PS5.
The PC version of the game includes some graphical upgrades. It supports NVIDIA DLSS 4 resolution scaling and frame generation, NVIDIA DLAA image enhancement and NVIDIA Reflex latency reduction. It also supports AMD FSR 3 and offers the ability to unlock the frame rate to better suit the needs of a particular PC. It can handle both 21:9 and 32:9 ultrawide resolutions.

Stellar Blade was formerly a PS5 exclusive, so the PC version works with the iconic the DualSense controller. This allows for haptic feedback and adaptive trigger features. For everyone else, the game offers customization options for gamepads, keyboards and mice.
As for specs, Sony recommends at least 16GB of RAM, an Intel Core i5 processor and a GeForce GTX 1060. However, that's for playing on the lowest setting.
We now live in a post-exclusive world. Sony has been releasing tons of its first-party games for PC. These include Marvel's Spider-Man and the sequel, God of War Ragnarök and Horizon Zero Dawn , to name a few.

Tim Miller Dishes On the ‘X-Men' Horror Movie He Almost Made
Slowly, but surely, Marvel's making moves to bring the X-Men to the big screen again in the next few years. As everyone waits to find out what all that entails (and who it'll involve), filmmaker Tim Miller looked back on the one he nearly did once upon a time. During a recent interview with the Hollywood Reporter, the Deadpool director talked about Marvel's mutant corner as the company's 'secret weapon. […] The X-Men are my favorite characters, and I wrote to Kevin Feige like, 'If there was anything you'd ever let me do in the Marvel universe, the X-Men would be it.'' In fact, he had an X-film in development at one point, which would've been based on Chris Claremont and John Byrne's Uncanny X-Men #143. In that, the team departs the mansion for the holidays, leaving Kitty Pryde on her own. While left to her own devices, an N'Garai—demons the team previously fought over the years—invades the mansion, and she's got to hold her own against it. Miller described the film as 'Home Alone meets Alien,' and it seems this was the Kitty solo movie Fox announced back in 2018 that he would've directed from a script by comics scribe Brian Michael Bendis. (At the time, Kitty was part of the Guardians of the Galaxy as Star-Lord during Bendis and Valerio Schiti's 2015-2017 run). Unfortunately, this was in development at Fox around the time of its merger with Disney, so it was one of many ideas—along with publicized solo films for Gambit and Multiple Man, plus a hopeful Fantastic Four crossover—which never came to cinematic fruition. X-Men movies were typically action affairs, but Fox let the characters dip into horror with New Mutants. It was the last franchise movie of the Fox era, but once they've properly settled into the MCU, maybe they can be taken for a scary spin again. Either way, Miller seems to be happy with how everything's settled: he called himself 'the luckiest nerd on the planet' for bringing a proper Deadpool to the silver screen, and feels things have gone up from there. 'I didn't expect to have my own studio, or to do Terminator: Dark Fate,' he told THR. 'Being able to do Love Death + Robots is probably my achievement I'm most of. I'm old, but I'm not done yet.'

Avengers: Doomsday ‘Set Leak' Videos Are Our New, Inescapable AI Reality
Avengers Doomsday A video was quickly spread around social media over the past 24 hours, racking up 7 million views at the time of this writing, as everyone scrambled to see what were purported to be set leaks from the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday, currently shooting in a number of regions. The video was full of surprises, Robert Downey Jr. in his Doctor Doom costume. The unannounced appearances of Spider-Man, Scarlet Witch and Deadpool. Big reveals! It's fake. Of course it's fake. It's AI. But it's AI which shows how much the tech is spiraling into something almost unstoppable. It's true, if you pause the video you can no doubt parse that it's AI. Some parts are more clear than others, like a Thor that looks like Heath Ledger or a Scarlet Witch that looks like Taylor Swift, but if you just flipped through this quickly, you can see how it can 'pass' on first glance, at least recreating the look and feel of set leak videos in a way I've simply never seen faked before. It was eventually community-noted as AI, but not before it had at least 5 million views or so. Throw this on Facebook (which I'm sure has happened already), and I bet you'd convinced 95% of users there it was legitimate. It's funny, the first way I saw this debunked wasn't because of glitched hands or odd faces, but rather no one believed that Marvel would actually use a practical suit for Iron Man at this point, as that armor has long been CGI with Robert Downey Jr. walking around in a mo-cap suit. FEATURED | Frase ByForbes™ Unscramble The Anagram To Reveal The Phrase Pinpoint By Linkedin Guess The Category Queens By Linkedin Crown Each Region Crossclimb By Linkedin Unlock A Trivia Ladder This video quote tweets a set shot that appears to have spawned the entire idea, bringing the still to life in at least one scene and I…I'm not even sure whether that one is an AI image or not (it says it isn't, which is clearly trustworthy!). It is. I think it is. I need to do some more zooming in. SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA - JULY 27: Robert Downey Jr. speaks onstage at the Marvel Studios Panel during ... More 2024 Comic-Con International at San Diego Convention Center on July 27, 2024 in San Diego, California. (Photo by) But that's the point, isn't it? In only a few years, we keep getting to new levels of this tech that you have to pause and zoom and scrutinize to prove whether or not it's AI. This video here would not have been remotely possible a year ago. What happens in a year from now? No more Taylor Swift or Heath Ledger faces, I imagine. I don't think this was actually trying to be a serious leak. I mean, throwing Deadpool, Spider-Man and Scarlet Witch in there is kind of a goof. But this was made in a day after the other leaked ('leaked') set shot was being passed around. Is this kind of silly? It is, once you break it down and see the obvious changes. But expect to see this kind of thing happen more and more in the leak space and become more and more convincing as a result. The next few years are going to be unsettling. Follow me on Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram. Pick up my sci-fi novels the Herokiller series and The Earthborn Trilogy.

The Verge's 2025 Father's Day gift guide
Father's Day rules. It's a day to celebrate all that dads have contributed to the people, homes, and communities that they're a part of. Being a dad is a lot of work — something I can vouch for, being a relatively new one myself — so for Father's Day, why not give dear old dad a token of appreciation and love? Whether your dad prefers practical or clever gifts, we think you'll be pleased with the selection of picks below. As usual, we lean pretty heavily on tech, but there are several non-tech suggestions that most dads will be happy to receive, all of which come courtesy of the thoughtful staff here at The Verge. If a fast-charging portable battery or Sony's collapsible WH-1000XM6 headphones won't do the trick, perhaps Kurt Vonnegut's recently discovered two-player board game or a mountable Lego van Gogh replica will? Traveler's Notebook $45 For some people, note-taking is serious, serious business. That's why your dad's great ideas, errant thoughts, to-do lists, and appointments deserve a worthy notebook. Traveler's leather-bound travel journals are great for jotting down all of the above, especially since they come in a slew of sizes. $45 at Traveler's Company (various sizes) Indiana Jones and the Great Circle $69 Whether your dad is a fan of the Indiana Jones flicks or he digs MachineGames' excellent Wolfenstein titles, there's plenty to like in The Great Circle. The first-person exploration game lets you crack the whip, punch Nazis, and traverse the globe to retrieve precious relics. It's good fun. $69 at Amazon $69 at Walmart $70 at Best Buy Anker Laptop Power Bank $110$13519% off There are plenty of portable batteries out there, but few are as versatile and powerful as Anker's 25,000mAh Laptop Power Bank. The handy pack features two built-in, retractable USB-C cables — one of which serves as a lanyard — allowing you to quickly charge most devices on the go. $110 at Amazon $110 at Anker (with code WS7DV2LJAQAS) $120 at Newegg (with code CYGES2728) Backbone Pro $170 The best mobile controller is the Backbone Pro. It retains the same overall design and feel as the company's cheaper model, only with some comfort-boosting improvements. It also features a built-in battery and Bluetooth support, so your dad can use it for gaming on his TV, computer, VR headset, or handheld PC. $170 at Best Buy $170 at Backbone Ancel AD410 OBD2 Scanner Professional Diagnostic Scanner $40$5020% off The more ways you know how to diagnose a possible issue with your car, the less time you'll spend at the mechanic (sorry, mechanics). Ancel's diagnostic scanner plugs into the OBD2 port found in most US cars dating back to '96, letting you see exactly why certain lights on your dash keep popping up. $40 at Amazon (with Prime) $50 at Ancel Sony WH-1000XM6 $448$4500% off The latest iteration of Sony's best-in-class noise-canceling headphones has finally arrived. The newfangled XM6 make subtle improvements to every facet, from sound quality to comfort to ANC, while wisely bringing back the foldable design last seen on the last-gen XM4. $448 at Amazon $450 at Best Buy $450 at Sony Hoto SnapBloq System $216$30028% off Hoto's modus operandi is to make svelte, handsome tools, with the SnapBloq being its sleekest yet. Buying all three sets — which, as the name implies, snap together to form a block — nets you a precision screwdriver, drill pen, and rotary tool, all of which are rechargeable. Dad may already own enough tools, but we bet they don't look nearly as good as these do. $216 at Amazon $240 at Hoto Satechi Vegan-Leather Magnetic Wallet Stand $28$4030% off Satechi's MagSafe-ready wallet addresses two specific needs that may make it a must-have for some dads: it's crafted from vegan leather, and it doubles as a kickstand. That means the durable wallet provides a hands-free way to watch videos or hop on a call, whether you place it in portrait or landscape mode. $28 at Satechi $32 at Amazon $40 at Apple AirPods 4 $119$1298% off Most of Apple's high-end earbud tech can be found in the AirPods 4, which cost significantly less than the latest Pro model. They're relatively small, offer great sound, and even support USB-C charging, making them a great pick if you can do without active noise cancellation. $119 at Amazon $119 at Walmart $130 at Best Buy James $18$2836% off Percival Everett's first work of fiction earned him the Pulitzer this year — and it's no surprise. The bold 2024 tale serves as a reworking of Huck Finn as told by the enslaved man who travels with him down the Mississippi, and although it's dead serious at times due to the subject matter, it's also inventive, poetic, and surprisingly funny. $18 at Amazon $19 at Walmart $25 at Barnes & Noble Xiaomi Sound Pocket $27$3010% off Xiaomi doesn't have as much of a presence in the US as it does globally, but thankfully, the classy Sound Pocket is readily available. The compact Bluetooth speaker supports hands-free calling with its built-in microphone, and its IP67 rating means it can even handle some water — so long as you don't submerge it for too long. $27 at Amazon (with on-page coupon) $30 at Walmart (with on-page coupon) Kurt Vonnegut's GHQ $35 While writing Cat's Cradle, Kurt Vonnegut needed to pay the bills, so he tried his hand at making board games. His creation, a tactical war-themed tabletop game called GHQ (General Headquarters), never saw the light of day — that is, until recently. Needless to say, the two-player game is a great title for Vonnegut fans and scholars alike. $35 at Barnes & Noble $35 at Kurt Vonnegut's GHQ Museum and Library Garmin Forerunner 570 $550 The Forerunner 570 has no business looking as good as it does for a running watch. Garmin's new wearable features a bright OLED display, a slick translucent band, and several new features, including skin temperature sensors and a built-in speaker / mic. The only real question is what size to get for dear ol' dad: 42mm or 47mm? $550 at Amazon $550 at Best Buy $550 at Garmin Magic: The Gathering — Final Fantasy Bundle $70 Magic: The Gathering isn't as difficult to get into as you might think, and the Final Fantasy -themed expansion might be the perfect place to start. The upcoming collection has sent the internet into a proverbial spiral, with many products selling out as a result of a very dedicated fan base. Lucky for dad, the entry-level starter kit is still readily available. $70 at Amazon $70 at Walmart $70 at Best Buy Nitecore BB21 electric blower $65$707% off All of dad's precious tech is prone to dust and other debris, which can impact usability if left unchecked. Fortunately, with Nitecore's rechargeable air blower as a companion, he can easily rid his mechanical keyboards and other tough-to-reach crannies of unwanted grime, ensuring all of his gadgets are in tip-top shape. $65 at Amazon $65 at B&H Photo $70 at Nitecore Sable, Fable (vinyl) $31 Bon Iver's Justin Vernon has come a long way from the fabled Wisconsin cabin where he supposedly holed up to record his debut. Sable, Fable, his latest LP, is a welcome kaleidoscope of sounds and feelings, from familiar strummers and beat-heavy ballads to the kind of sultry, R&B-flecked tracks that would make Prince swoon. $31 at Amazon $31 at Target $35 at Urban Outfitters Telepathic Instruments Orchid $450 Telepathic Instruments' retrofuturist keyboard is a vibes machine, one designed for people who want to easily produce cool sounds. It only houses a few piano keys, but it has dedicated major, minor, and other inputs that let you get creative without necessarily having to know how to play. $450 at Telepathic Instruments Chef'n S'mores Roaster $50$7432% off You can effortlessly replicate the magic of making s'mores while camping with Chef'n's small, safe machine. The contained flame on the tidy indoor / outdoor roaster is built to toast marshmallows, while its ceramic dome can melt chocolate onto graham crackers. All you'll need to supply is a fuel can, plus all the s'mores ingredients you can muster. $50 at Amazon $50 at Crate & Barrel $74 at Chef'n Panasonic 4K Blu-ray player (DP-UB420-K) $245$2502% off Like all of us, your dad deserves to watch movies at the best possible resolution, which is where a 4K Blu-ray player comes in. Panasonic makes some of the best models you can buy, and when paired with the right TV, 4K Blu-rays look and sound better than even the most high-res streaming apps. Plus, it's still fun to collect discs. $245 at Amazon $250 at Best Buy $250 at Crutchfield Panasonic Precision Beard & Hair Trimmer $125 If your dad's shaving gadget repertoire is outdated, try treating him to a fantastic — and customizable — beard trimmer. Panasonic's washable, wide-tipped model comes with 19 adjustable settings and can cut hair, too, just in case dad wants to keep a short 'do or touch up his sideburns. $125 at Amazon $125 at Panasonic Ontel Battery Daddy storage system $15$2025% off Most modern gadgets are rechargeable via USB-C, but many households still rely on traditional batteries for all sorts of things. Your dad is sure to be impressed with your moxie when you gift him this deluxe battery organizer, which has dedicated compartments for coin cell batteries, large D-cell batteries, and all of the smaller sizes in between. $15 at The Home Depot $20 at Amazon $20 at Ace Hardware Baseus Free2Pull Retractable USB-C Cable 100W $10$2255% off Most people don't want to wrangle cables… and who can blame them? Not us, which is why several folks at The Verge own Baseus' handy, retractable USB-C option. The Free2Pull comes in two sizes, each of which conveniently pulls the excess cable into a small puck that's far tidier and easier to manage than a loose cord. $10 at Amazon $13 at Best Buy $15 at Baseus Lego Vincent van Gogh Sunflowers $200 Most Lego creations occupy some desk or table space, which can be annoying if you're trying to tidy up. However, every item from Lego's Vincent van Gogh collection, which consists of several brick-ified paintings from the artist's late-1800s heyday, can be assembled and then mounted to your wall. $200 at Amazon $200 at Best Buy $200 at Lego Theragun Mini (third-gen) $220 A massage gun is a gift that keeps on giving. When muscles and tendons are tight or sore, the Theragun Mini serves as a quick and easy remedy, allowing dad to get on with his day with less discomfort. The third-gen model is just a little smaller, making what was already an ultra-portable device even more compact. $220 at Amazon $220 at Best Buy $220 at Theragun Birdfy Feeder 1 $120$22045% off Looking at birds is cool, and we're all better off spending more time doing it. And while birdwatching typically requires patience and a decent pair of binoculars, you could summon birds with Birdfy's entry-level smart feeder, which features a 1080p camera and an app that lets you view birds up close as they munch on seeds. Time Timer MOD (Home Edition) $20$2520% off A basic timer may seem like a thoughtless gift, but there are many tasks we procrastinate on every day that could be more easily managed if we dedicated a little bit of time to them. A visual Pomodoro timer, such as the colorful MOD (Home Edition), is key to helping break tasks into manageable chunks or take them on all at once. $20 at Amazon $20 at Walmart $25 at Time Timer Nintendo Switch 2 $449 The Switch 2 could make for a stellar gift for any dad — that is, if you can manage to preorder one ahead of the console's arrival on June 5th. Nintendo's latest hybrid console packs a larger 7.9-inch 1080p display, magnetic Joy-Con controllers, and a host of other minor but welcome improvements that build upon what was already a winning formula. $449 at Walmart $450 at Best Buy $450 at GameStop
