What a difference just a day or two can make. Earlier this week, indie developer Pere Albacar put out a social media post promising followers a free Steam code for his upcoming release Sands of Hope, but only if Team Cherry's highly anticipated sequel Hollow Knight: Silksong got an announcement during yesterday's Nintendo Direct.

For all the talk of taking Battlefield back to its roots, Battlefield 6's multiplayer is actually pretty bold. Typically the formula has been instantly recognisable to FPS fans: bombastic action, giant team sizes, and a polyamorous partnership between boots-on-the-ground, vehicular, and aerial warfare. But while the moment-to-moment is as fun as it ever was - with the potential perhaps to reach new heights for the series - some of the new ideas from Battlefield Studios (the amalgam of several EA developers in DICE, Ripple Effect, Criterion and Motive that now all work on this series) leave me unconvinced.
According to Battlefield 6 head Vince Zempella, the upcoming military FPS will not be coming to the Switch 2. Sorry, Nintendo fans.
During Digital Foundry's recent Cyberpunk 2077 Switch 2 vs Steam Deck face-off, we used internal benchmarks hidden within the game to compare CPU and GPU performance with some fascinating results - but those test sequences actually run on any version of the game out there. In fact, we'd warrant that they'd even present on the Stadia version if it were still about. Originally, the plan was to dump our PS4 and PS4 Pro data on DF Clips - but we had a re-think in light of a fascinating interview by Wccftech with Virtuos satellite studio Black Shamrock.
