Posted by Maniac in Game News.add a comment
An important update has just been released for practically everything Apple makes today. The new update, 18.4, has just been released on supported iPads and iPhones. It weighs in at over 3.6GB and should be downloaded as soon as possible.
The new update adds support for an integrated Vision Pro application on iPhones. The app will download automatically to your device following a successful update. Thankfully, this update will NOT force the new Apple Intelligence feature to autoenable on supported devices, and require you to manually turn off the Apple Intelligence feature as soon as the update concludes.
Similar updates have also been released for Apple TV, Mac and Vision Pro. The biggest new feature for the Vision Pro is expected to be a new immersive application to highlight some of the best curated spatial images and video from across the world. There does not appear to be an update for the Apple Watch at this time.

Control: Ultimate Edition Released for Mac March 26, 2025
Posted by Maniac in Game News.add a comment
Apple has just followed through with a major promise from last year. Remedy’s Control, one of the best games from 2019, has just been ported to Mac, optimized for the new M4 processors. The Ultimate Edition of the game includes the original game’s season pass, featuring two DLC expansions that came along with it.
The PC version has always been considered the best looking version of the game, and since Apple’s more recent processors have support for some of the hardware features that made the PC version look so good, including ray-tracing, it will be interesting to see how good this game can actually look on a Mac…or maybe I just really want to stream this game to my Vision Pro.
Control: Ultimate Edition is out now for PC, Mac, PS5, PS4, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.

The guys at Remedy are some of the world’s finest game developers and their next major release is their first ever multiplayer title which will exist in the same world of Control!
So how does this 3-Player cooperative game work and what missions can we expect to play? This video will hopefully answer some of those questions!
FBC: Firebreak is coming Summer 2025 to PC, Xbox Series X/S and PS5.

Enormous Free Update Releasing for Control: Ultimate Edition March 10, 2025
Posted by Maniac in Game News.add a comment
Remedy fans and owners of Control: Ultimate Edition are getting a late Christmas present this week! When Control was first released on its initial platforms back in 2019, particularly for the PS4, specific preorder incentives and platform specific content was released on the original game. This included exclusive in-game player skins, and an entire series of missions starring the legendary Game God Hideo Kojima. These incentives did not carry over to the Control: Ultimate Edition, and until now, there was no way to use any of the content or play those missions on our modern consoles.
Today, Remedy has confirmed that all copies of Control: Ultimate Edition will receive a free patch which will automatically unlock all of the previously locked in-game content. The patch has already been released on Steam, but they have promised that the update will come to the Epic, GOG, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S versions VERY soon.
This is fantastic news, as Kojima’s missions were some of my most memorable in-game moments when I played them on the original PS4 version of the game.
Control: Ultimate Edition is out now for PC, Xbox Series X/S and PS5.
