The gaming furniture manufacturer Secretlab has revealed a brand-new gaming chair: the Secretlab Titan Evo Lite.
A more affordable version of the hugely popular Secretlab Titan Evo, which we consider one of the best gaming chairs on the market, the Secretlab Titan Evo Lite looks like a seriously tempting prospect for those looking for a way to save some money while still getting their hands on a chair with lots of premium features.
It uses a very similar overall design to the existing Secretlab Titan Evo, including the same internal foam material and sculpted ‘pebble’ seat base shape. The key differences appear to come in the lumbar support, where the Secretlab Titan Evo Lite uses an integrated lumbar curve as opposed to the company’s 4-Way L-Adapt system as found on the more expensive model.
The Secretlab Titan Evo Lite similarly lacks any kind of magnetic CloudSwap feature in its 4D armrests, which allows Secretlab Titan Evo owners to swap out their armrest tops to further customize their chair. It is also worth noting that the Secretlab Titan Evo Lite does not come with a magnetic memory foam head pillow in the box, though there is support for the accessory if you choose to pick one up separately.
Obviously, the overall level of comfort that the Secretlab Titan Evo Lite will be able to provide is yet to be seen, but these seem like very reasonable concessions considering the asking price of just $448 / £389 — substantially cheaper than the $549 / £469 cost of a Secretlab Titan Evo in its standard configuration.
There are two separate upholstery options available for the Secretlab Titan Evo Lite: soft fabric or a leatherette. The leatherette comes in a plain Black or the company’s Stealth colorway, which adds red sticking and gold lettering. The fabric finish comes in Black, Charcoal Blue (gray with light blue elements), and my personal favorite Cookies & Cream which combines light gray and black for a pretty eye-catching look.
The chair is available in two sizes, regular and XL, which both match the dimensions of their respective Secretlab Titan Evo counterparts.

Apple has always been quiet about its plans and new innovations and the same applies to artificial intelligence (AI). However, it looks like Apple was caught on the backfoot when most of the other big tech companies like Microsoft, Google, Meta and even OpenAI stole all the AI thunder over the last year. Now, Apple is looking, not just to catch up, but overtake everyone else and for that, it has gone on a warpath - an acquisition spree in order to ensure it conquers this new technology in every way. So, even as it's working on its AI initiatives in-house, it is being reported that Apple has gone on the warpath and gobbled up more than 30 AI startups last year, which is shockingly higher than any other tech giant's investment.
The Sims 4 players have discovered a bug in the latest expansion pack, and it's got their Sims looking more like anime characters than ever before.
A new VR title, has a unique premise that is set to cross over two unexpected James Cameron movie ideas. As its name implies, the horror thriller title will take place on the RMS Titanic and let players experience the horrors involved with the Titanic's tragic real-world sinking first-hand.
Earlier this month, I witnessed a digital miracle. In a press briefing ahead of CES, Nvidia showed off a demo for its Ace microservice, an AI suite capable of generating fully voiced AI characters. I watched in awe as a demoist spoke to an in-game NPC through a microphone, only to have the digital character respond in real time. It was a true sci-fi feat, but there was one question: How did it learn to do that?
CES helps us all get into the spirit of the new year with a slew of new devices and technologies being introduced every year. The 2024 Consumer Electronics Show was no different. But, since we are infamous for being very loud fans of smart home tech, we got attracted to the next generation of cleaning products introduced by Roborock at the event.
One of World of Warcraft’s recent epilogue cinematics just set up Iridikron as one of the major villains in The Last Titan, the third expansion in The Worldsoul Saga. This new cinematic was added to the game as a part of World of Warcraft Patch 10.2.5, Seeds of Renewal.
Palworld first captured the attention of gamers (and their internet sphere) when it was revealed back in 2021. While that reveal included details about the survival aspects of the game, including multiplayer, crafting, and farming, viewers honed in on the idea of it being Pokémon but with guns. You can capture Pokémon-like monsters called Pals in special balls (and you can capture humans, too), but it's smart to shoot them or hack at them with an axe first to lower their health. And then, once under your command, you can give them their own guns to use, of course.
Building upon ’s structure with one big change would herald a new era for the franchise. Every new Generation has built upon its predecessors with both mechanical improvements and brand-new features, and Gen 9’s are no different. However, even disregarding the newest games’ infamous glitches, they arguably fall short of their full potential in some respects.
The Sims 4 recently released a kit focused on castle building, and a player has managed to make an incredible castle, resorting only to the items available in the base game and this new pack. The Sims 4 went free-to-play in 2022, and this made it possible for a greater number of gamers to enjoy the game. While players can enjoy dozens of features with the base game, they can also significantly diversify the type of gameplay they get access to by purchasing additional content.
Video games can be an expensive hobby. I’m sure I don’t have to tell you that. There are several big title releases each month, and with this latest-generation console, we saw the price for new AAA games rise. Rather than paying the once-standard $59.99 for a new game, we’re digging further into our pockets to pay the new $69.99 price tag. This all boils down to waiting for some games to drop in price. We might have to be more selective on the games we pick up at launch and which titles are left to drop in price over time. Fortunately, sales are always going on, including on official marketplaces like the PlayStation Store.
