Selling items in is essential for progression and can earn players a large profit. In the early game, you may not have many uses for visiting a Wandering Merchant. However, this can become an almost daily routine as your base expands. Exploring the world, finding new Pals, and collecting various items keep players returning to Palworld. Acquiring a steady supply of gold is useful for buying copious amounts of ammo, materials, and medicine.

The weird animals of Palworld aren’t just armed to the teeth, they’re also an easy source of cash — traders will buy your Pals for a good price, and there are multiple traders you can find to boost your early-game earnings. But the most efficient “Pals” you can sell are human enemies. Even humans can be captured, and they go for even better prices on the Black Market. Yes, seriously.

Supermarkets are missing out on untapped revenue from selling food that's about to expire, as store workers waste hours searching for short-dated products and discounting them by hand. At least that's the pitch from Too Good To Go, an eight-year-old Danish company that cut its teeth addressing restaurant food waste and is now turning to grocery stores' soon-to-expire goods. Starting this month, TGTG is selling an artificial-intelligence-powered solution that assists supermarkets with expiration dates, which are a major pain point for retail food waste. The company will begin its global rollout with the international supermarket chain SPAR. 

If a ‘price to performance’ gaming laptop is what you are after, you will be pleased to learn that the MSI Katana 15 has dropped back to its lowest price of $1,199.99 on Amazon.

All Ghillied Up is beloved now, but that wasn't always the case.

Plenty of third-party companies provide flashy new accessories for popular consoles, and CRKD has thrown its hat in the ring with the Nitro Deck, a new grip case for the Nintendo Switch. Providing customizable back buttons, replaceable thumbstick caps, and Hall Effect sensors to combat stick drift the is a decent alternative to the standard Joy-Con controllers. However, there are some issues with the design itself that hold it back from being a must-have Switch accessory.

Xbox head Phil Spencer has shed more light on what Microsoft's recent acquisition of Call of Duty maker Activision will mean for the series, and no, it isn't about using timed exclusivity deals for the franchise in order to sell consoles.

The popular and everlasting Minecraft has achieved something that no other video game has done: Mojang's sandbox exploration and building game is now the first video game in history to sell over 300 million copies.  Ahead of its 15th anniversary next year, developer Mojang announced in a blog post that Minecraft, which has steadily grown in massive popularity for over a decade, has sold over 300 million copies (digital and physical editions combined). The developers also shared new data about player activity, such as stats showing that an average of 15 million skeletons are slayed daily, and an average 6.7 million diamonds are found each day.

Developer Mojang Studios has announced that Minecraft, first released in early access in 2009, has now sold over 300 million copies worldwide.

Other series have sold more over multiple entries (Mario games are estimated to have sold over 800 million), and variations (Tetris on 520 million, 425 million of which are on mobile), but no single game has ever sold as many copies as this.

The collaboration between Pokemon and the Van Gogh Museum has been a disaster, at least for anyone wanting to pick up some merch legitimately.

Sony announced today it’s launching an investigation into a ransomware attack that allegedly occurred yesterday. It’s not disclosing the details of the investigation, save that it’s happening, but the group responsible is reportedly trying to sell the information. Given Sony’s history with data breaches, such as the one in 2011, having more data breaches would be a blow to the company.

A ransomware group is claiming to have stolen data from Sony and is offering to sell it after the company refuses to pay. While the attack has not been verified, it is reported that the group is known to have stolen data from other victims in the past, and has provided apparent proof that the hack took place.

The Sentient Amulet is a particularly interesting find in , but its suspicious nature makes deciding whether to keep it or sell it a tough choice. This unusual accessory can be found in the Adamantine Forge in the Underdark, although it isn't that easy to loot. Acquiring it will require fighting a Lava Elemental, carefully navigating environmental hazards in turn-based mode, or making good use of movement spells, as the chest that holds it is well-protected by molten danger.

Well, that just about seals it: Mortal Kombat 1 looks absolutely incredible.

We also get some first footage of pre-order bonus character Shang Tsung and roster padder Reiko.

Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Intergrade have collectively sold over seven million copies, Square Enix announced.

Games are generally made using the tools and resources of foundational software called engines, and Unity is one of the most-used and therefore most important engines in the entire games industry.

The iPhone 15 is finally here, and it brings the biggest change in the form of USB Type-C, you know, the connectivity standard we have been using for a long, long time. This shift to USB Type-C was inevitable, considering how Apple was facing a lot of pressure from regulation authorities, and it is safe to say that this move will definitely help the company standardize its products across the board. Now, all you need is a single USB Type-C cable, and you will be able to charge all your Apple devices, just like it should.

For the first time, the new iPhone model you buy on the launch day could be made in India. Apple Inc. plans to make the India-built iPhone 15 available in the South Asian country and some other regions on the global sales debut day, people familiar with the matter said.

Making money, or credits, in Starfield can take a lot of time if you don't take advantage of some of Starfield's more disreputable activities. The easiest of these is finding and selling contraband. As far as we've seen possession of these yellow-marked items has no impact on companion relationships, and unless it's a UC or Freestar Collective scanner, no one really cares if you have it.

In Starfield, you will no doubt accrue a lot of stuff across the universe, and some of it may fetch a pretty penny. To help empty your pockets (and fill them up with credits), we’ll be looking at where to sell items in Starfield.

What good would a Bethesda game be without the ability to carry stolen goods? Starfield takes this one step further with the introduction of contraband.

It wouldn’t be a Bethesda game without compulsively picking everything up to sell before realising the 200 forks in your possession aren’t worth much… so to help better manage your hoarding, we have Starfield storage explained, with how to carry more, sell items and not be overburdened.

Contraband is the valuable illicit cargo that all reputable settlements will scan for in Starfield. Whenever you enter a settlement, they’ll scan your ship in search for contraband — and that includes drugs like Aurora — and it seems almost impossible to sell early in the game. There are two ways you can sell contraband at the start of your adventure. You’ll need to purchase Shielded Cargo or you’ll need to find ports that are friendly to criminals. We’ll explain how to handle both.

The setting of Warhammer 40,000 is known for two things: being grim and being big. It’s a galaxy of massive scale and scope, inhabited by the dystopian Imperium of Man, dozens of deadly alien Xenos, and countless worlds under siege. This is a setting where humanity often dwells in hive cities, urban sprawls that consume entire worlds and contain billions and billions of poor souls. Space Marine 2, due out later this year, looks like it embraces the sheer size and scope of 40K, taking the player through the infrastructure of the Imperium.

Microsoft has announced it has restructured its proposed acquisition of Activision Blizzard in a bid to appease the UK's Competition and Markets Authority.
