Apple's biggest splash in any given year is usually the launch of a new iPhone. A day on which those who have to have the latest model queue outside Apple stores before they've even opened, eager to hand over $1,000+ for the newest iPhone at the earliest opportunity. 2024 will be a little different, though. Apple is getting into the virtual reality game, and its first foray into that developing space launches on February 2 via the Vision Pro.

Tekken 8’s demo went live on PS5 three weeks ago, before going live on Xbox Series X/S and PC a week later, and it seems it has been well received by those who have played it, to the extent that it’s having a tangible impact on the upcoming fighter’s pre-launch sales.

Today, as part of CES 2024, Samsung unveiled a new partner accessory program designed specifically for its Samsung Gaming Hub streaming discovery platform.

The next major installment in the continuing Like a Dragon series is coming very soon. Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth launches on Windows PC via Steam, the PlayStation 4 and 5, and Xbox consoles on Jan. 26. It’s taking Ichiban Kasuga, Kazuma Kiryu, and some other familiar faces from Japan to the sunny shores of Honolulu to engage in another action-packed and presumably ridiculously goofy RPG.

Rumor has it a reboot could be on the way, but there's another Rare game revival that may never arrive. The first, released in 1998 for the Nintendo 64, is best described as a 3D collectathon platformer. Players control two characters — Banjo the bear and Kazooie the breegull — as they traipse across eleven worlds, picking up valuable music notes and puzzle pieces to progress. It's been praised for its innovative gameplay. Banjo and Kazooie each have unique abilities that make tackling certain levels easier, and learn more throughout the game. The game's charming sense of humor has also contributed to its status as an all-time classic.

Samsung is retaining its strategy of attracting customers to its latest and greatest Galaxy S24 series by offering several pre-order bonuses. Early adopters will not just be entitled to receive twice the storage without any extra change, but they will also get the opportunity to purchase additional Galaxy-branded products at a discount.

Nintendo launched a couple of new Switch bundles ahead of the holiday, potentially giving its newest console one last big Christmas before it's replaced by its successor. Another Mario Kart bundle, and a new Smash Ultimate OLED bundle. Switch bundles released for the holidays tend to disappear pretty quickly once those holidays have passed, and if you've been mulling over whether to pick up that Smash one, now is the time to act.

2024 hasn't even started yet and it's already gearing up to be an exciting year for Pokemon TCG players. New stacking tins launching in the new year have been revealed, and you can also pre-order Paldean Fates products if you're lucky enough to find some. I thought the same would apply to the Paldea Adventure Chest shortly after its unveiling a couple of weeks ago, but heading toward the end of 2023, pre-orders are still available for the new set.

Former BioWare writer and project lead Mac Walters recently gave some insights on the new game from Worlds Untold. While details are scarce, we know it'll be a sci-fi action-adventure game, and not at all an RPG like Mass Effect. During an interview with the MinnMax gaming podcast, the studio head of Worlds Untold talked about his career at BioWare and what's next for him at his new venture. According to him, this next project will be a mix of elements from Mass Effect and, surprisingly, Apple TV's grounded sci-fi show Severance.

Sonic the Hedgehog will be kicking off a very busy 2024 for him and his friends with additions to the blue blur's already pretty extensive Funko Pop! collection. Technically, Sonic is closing 2023 with new Pops as the figures revealed before Christmas are now available to pre-order. Super Shadow, Metal Sonic, and even Ring Scatter Sonic. They're all available now, and the only catch is they won't be in your hands until at least the end of February.

Ahead of the upcoming launch of Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio Director Masayoshi Yokoyama was featured in an interview published on Automaton Media. Yokoyama, a writer on Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, revealed some interesting facts about the game.
