The Sony PlayStation 5 comes with a brand new controller called the DualSense, which features a fresh design and improved haptics. In our short period of testing both the console and the controller, we actually found the controller to be quite impressive, barring the fact that its full potential is only limited to a few PS5 titles.

Cyberpunk 2077, the upcoming open world sci-fi RPG from CD Projekt Red, will apparently not be available to play on Google Stadia upon the game’s launch. As spotted by ComicBook Gaming, a press release from CD Projekt Red states that the Google Stadia version of the game is only set to launch sometime in 2020. The press release also specifies that Cyberpunk 2077 will be releasing on September 17th, 2020, for PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4, so it’s most likely not just a case of poor wording. There’s no specification on exactly when the Stadia version of the game will be launching, but we can safely assume that it’ll […]

Grammarly is a popular extension for Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and other browsers which helps users correct bad grammar and other writing mistakes. However, it looks as though Microsoft is working on its own take on Grammarly, and delivering it to users as part of the existing Office Extension for Google Chrome. Twitter user Florian B recently detailed this extension in an image, showing that it currently is in a preview and will be known as “Microsoft Editor.” It’s not clear how he received or activated it, but he tells us that it was delivered as part of an update for the Office extension for Google Chrome.
