đ Forza Horizon 6 Leaks â Welcome to Japan
The next Horizon festival might be drifting eastward. Leaked details suggest Forza Horizon 6 is set in Japan, with winding mountain roads, neon-soaked cityscapes, and a 2026 launch window. If true, itâs the most requested setting finally coming to lifeâand weâre already revving our engines.
đšď¸ Windows 11 Goes Handheld â Finally Playable or Just a Patch Job?
Microsoftâs new handheld gaming mode for Windows 11 was demoed on the Xbox Ally, and itâs⌠promising. The Xbox app can now be set as your default launcher, ditching the desktop for a controller-friendly UI. Itâs smoother, snappier, and finally feels like it belongs on an 8-inch screen. But is it a real fix or just a full-screen façade? We break it down.

Coffee Stain Studiosâ beloved factory-builder hits Xbox Series XS and PS5 on November 4. Itâs automation, exploration, and conveyor belt chaosânow with controller support. No crossplay (yet), no Game Pass (sadly), but still one of the most âOverwhelmingly Positiveâ games on Steam.
đ˝ Helldivers 2 x Halo ODST â Feet First Into Fan Service
Launching August 26, Helldivers 2 drops a Legendary Warbond set packed with Halo ODST gear: MA5C rifles, Helljumper armor, and capes that scream âI dropped feet first into hell.â Itâs a crossover that fuses two gritty universesâand might just revive Haloâs esports soul.
