For fans who embrace leaks, there may be few mysteries left when Marvel’s Wolverine release date arrives. An individual with a PS5 disc copy has streamed gameplay on Twitch and other platforms. The latest leak follows the 2023 Insomniac hack and more recent suit and story spoilers.

GTA VI's Netflix-paywalled trailer, EA's $55B go-private buyout, Marvel's Wolverine backlash, Elden Ring hitting Switch 2, free Witcher 3 expansions, a leaked DLSS 5, Valve's Steam Frame, and a wild month for fighting games. August 2026 had it all, and we're breaking it down in one massive recap.

Regulatory filings in China list the Galaxy S27 Pro and Galaxy S27 Ultra under model numbers SM-S9570 and SM-S9580, both rated for 60W wired charging and sold without a charger.

Following a Geekbench leak of Qualcomm's upcoming flagship SoC, another leak has emerged, this time straight from a Qualcomm Reference Device (QRD) rather than the Geekbench Browser. Another leaker also shared a real life image of the device.

A known analyst from a reputable firm has made a rather sketchy claim - the next-generation MacBook Ultra might feature the M5 Ultra SoC. While this may sound great for raw performance, the actual logistics of shipping a nearly 270 W chip in a laptop, make the claim rather difficult to digest.

According to a Video Games Chronicle journalist, Rockstar may shift its strategy in response to console shortages. An earlier-than-expected GTA 6 PC port could offset lost sales. Even so, developers are likely focusing on PS5 and Xbox performance, suggesting a PC release date is still far off.

Leading up to the GTA 6 release date, Rockstar has made no mention of a Switch 2 pre-order. Yet, a French storefront has listed a port for the Nintendo handheld in an offer disclaimer. The document also refers to Deluxe, Premium, and Collector’s Editions for all platforms.

$1,319 – even for the most affordable Apple iPhone 18 Pro with 256 GB of storage.

The iPhone Ultra is expected to be even more expensive.

Samsung has equipped its entry-level flagship phone with 25 W charging for the past six generations, and that doesn't seem likely to change with the Galaxy S27. According to a certification listing, the compact premium phone will launch next year with the slowest charging technology of all devices in its class.

The interval between Gen 9 and Gen 10 Pokémon games may test the patience of Nintendo supporters. An insider has shared the Pokémon Winds and Waves release date month. Anticipated for fall 2027, fans have been waiting for an update on Game Freak's Switch 2 title.

The iPhone Ultra is just over a week away, and a lot of information about the foldable has been circulating, either through leaks or rumors. The latest is that the phone will come with MagSafe.

Valve still hasn't revealed the Steam Frame's price or release date. However, it seems that the company is preparing a special offer that will give anyone who purchases a Steam Frame a free copy of Half-Life: Alyx.

Take-Two says its investigation into the GTA 6 leaker known as “CyberLeek” is “evolving rapidly” as it seeks a second, sealed subpoena for Discord. The publisher has withdrawn its YouTube subpoena request, suggesting its search has narrowed as new evidence emerges.
