The Nintendo Switch is one of the few consoles where extra storage is borderline essential if you're planning on playing multiple Switch games . Nintendo only provides 32GB for regular models and 64GB for OLED models, which is barely any storage. Without more, you're lucky to have three or four titles installed at once. Luckily, Nintendo allows Switch users to quickly slot in an SD card to gain access to loads of more storage.

2024 has been a cracking year for tennis fans so far. Reebok brought back its classic Court Victory Pump sneakers, Zendaya got stuck into a saucy bit of mixed doubles on the big screen in Challengers, and now one of the greatest tennis videogame series’ has returned after a 13-year-long hiatus. TopSpin 2K25 delivers an on-court experience that’s every bit as smooth and snappy as it was two console generations ago, and it features licensed superstars and stadiums that now more closely resemble the real thing. It’s a shame, then, that some convoluted career progression systems and the inclusion of virtual currency hold TopSpin 2K25 back from being an outright winner. Developer Hangar 13 is best known for making Mafia games, but here the team has gone from whacking mobs to smacking lobs without missing a beat. TopSpin 2K25 feels genuinely terrific to play, its simple set of responsive controls allow for dynamic rallies that closely replicate the pace and tension of the sport, and ther...

Metaphor: ReFantazio, the Xbox-exclusive RPG by the team behind Persona 5 among other RPGs, officially has a release date. In a special showcase streamed Monday, Atlus revealed that Metaphor will be out October 11, putting it squarely in the holidays. The release date was revealed amid a 25-minute showcase hosted by director Katsura Hashino, which showed off the gameplay, music, and other elements. It offered a glimpse of what Persona fans can expect from Hashino's latest project, which bears some resemblance to Persona 5 but is in other respects very different. Unlike Persona, which seeks to capture the feeling of being in a Japanese high school, Metaphor is a much more high-concept fantasy adventure. It retains several of the elements of the Persona series, including the turn-based combat and the passage of time, but reimagines them. For instance, instead of a school year that progresses day by day, Metaphor is more of a fantasy roadtrip. It's all a bit difficult to de...

The release date for Genshin Impact maker HoYoverse’s upcoming urban role-playing game, Zenless Zone Zero, might have leaked before its official announcement. The action RPG’s soft “coming soon in 2024” placeholder text may actually mean this summer. According to Zenless Zone Zero’s Apple App Store page , the anime-inspired third-person action RPG is expected to release on July 3. As of the time of writing, developer HoYoverse has yet to announce an official release date on its official social media accounts. So far, only Zenless Zone Zero’s Apple store page has a listed release date, though the storefront does couch the expected date with supplemental text, saying, “This content may change without notice, and the final product may be different.” Zenless Zone Zero's seemingly leaked expected release date may hold some water, considering the whoopsie daisy comes weeks after the free-to-play urban fantasy RPG’s official PlayStation 5 technical test sign-up announcement . Prior t...

Developer Starbreeze Entertainment is finally adding an important feature to Payday 3: Quickplay. The studio announced the much-needed multiplayer component in a post on its website . The feature, along with Player Merging, will arrive as part of the next update. It says Quickplay is simple for now, allowing players to, well, select a difficulty mode and quickly join a Payday 3 multiplayer match. An updated version of the option is in the works, but players can rest easy knowing it'll be a little easier to actually start playing. “We know we want to create an updated Quickplay, a v2, by building on the groundwork that we have for this update," Starbreeze explains. "What that will look like is still being discussed, and we’re open to suggestions. Currently, we’re at the crossroads of either creating a standalone Quickplay v2 with filters, or somehow baking it into the Crime.Net-style server browser coming later in the year.” Player Merging, meanwhile, lets heisters r...
