San Francisco, CA – May 21, 2025 – The digital storm has finally settled. After a nearly five-year absence, Epic Games’ global phenomenon, Fortnite, has officially made its triumphant return to the Apple App Store in the United States. The highly anticipated reinstatement, confirmed by Epic Games on Tuesday, marks a pivotal moment in the ongoing legal saga between the tech giants and a significant win for Epic.
Fortnite was famously removed from the App Store in August 2020 after Epic Games implemented its own in-app payment system, designed to bypass Apple’s standard 30% commission on digital purchases. This move ignited a prolonged and bitter legal battle, with Epic accusing Apple of operating an illegal monopoly through its App Store.
Fortnite is BACK on the App Store in the U.S. on iPhones and iPads… and on the Epic Games Store and AltStore in the E.U! It’ll show up in Search soon!
While the legal fight has spanned years and continents, and Fortnite saw a return to iOS devices in the European Union earlier this year due to regulatory pressures like the Digital Markets Act, the U.S. App Store remained a stronghold for Apple – until now.
The resolution comes on the heels of a recent U.S. federal court ruling on April 30, 2025, which found Apple in breach of a 2021 order requiring it to allow greater competition for downloads and payments within its App Store. This ruling, which even saw the judge refer the case for a potential criminal contempt probe into Apple’s conduct, seemingly pushed for a resolution.
Following this development, Epic swiftly resubmitted Fortnite for App Store review. Despite initial reports of delays, a joint filing between Epic and Apple on Thursday, May 15, indicated that issues preventing Fortnite’s return had been resolved.
Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney celebrated the decision, posting “We back fam” on X (formerly Twitter), encapsulating the long-fought victory for the developer. Players can now once again download the battle royale sensation directly from the U.S. App Store on their iPhones and iPads.
The return of Fortnite to a massive user base it once commanded on iOS is a significant development. While analysts debate whether the win comes too late for Fortnite to fully rebound its past popularity, with the battle royale genre seeing increased competition, it undoubtedly sets a precedent for broader changes in app store regulations and developer freedoms across the industry.
For millions of U.S. iPhone and iPad users, the wait is over. The battle bus is ready to drop once more.
The next chapter of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is upon us! Activision has officially dropped the Season 4 Story Cinematic Trailer, kicking off an intense new narrative arc that sees the return of a familiar and dangerous foe: Vikhor “Stitch” Kuzmin.
The cinematic, released just yesterday, sets a dramatic stage for the upcoming season, which is slated to begin on May 29, 2025. In a stunning turn of events, Stitch, previously imprisoned, is sprung from a maximum-security black site by none other than his old adversary, Russell Adler. This forced alliance, between two characters with a deep and bitter history, is born out of necessity to confront a looming, larger threat and unmask “Pantheon moles.”
The trailer dives into the complicated backstory of Stitch, revealing his origins in the Soviet Union, his work with Nova 6 gas on Rebirth Island under the infamous Colonel Kravchenko, and his eventual capture by Adler. The rivalry, cemented by Adler gouging out Stitch’s eye, has defined much of their past. Now, they must put their differences aside for a common goal.
Fans can expect the narrative to pick up threads from previous Black Ops installments, delving into the ongoing Cold War espionage and the shadowy organization known as Perseus. The cinematic promises intense new missions as players work to uncover Stitch’s latest plot and stop him before it’s too late.
Beyond the gripping story, Season 4 for Black Ops 6 and Warzone is set to bring a host of new content, including additional maps (with the return of fan-favorite “Fringe” from Black Ops 3 already teased), new operators, weapons, and a fresh Battle Pass.
The Season 4 Story Cinematic Trailer offers a thrilling glimpse into the unfolding narrative, leaving players eager to dive back into the covert operations and high-stakes espionage that define the Black Ops universe. Prepare for a season of uneasy alliances and shocking revelations!

The wait is finally over! Rockstar Games has unleashed the highly anticipated second trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI, giving fans a much deeper look at the sun-soaked streets of Vice City and hinting at the sprawling world that lies beyond. The trailer, released earlier today, has sent the internet into a frenzy, showcasing stunning visuals and teasing the intertwined stories of protagonists Jason and Lucia.
Following the first trailer’s confirmation of the Vice City setting and the introduction of Lucia, Trailer 2 dives deeper into the narrative and the relationship between the two main characters. Set to The Pointer Sisters’ classic track “Hot Together,” the trailer paints a picture of a duo navigating the criminal underbelly of Leonida, the state where Vice City is located.
“Explore Vice City and Beyond,” Rockstar’s accompanying message to the trailer reads, suggesting a map that could potentially extend beyond the familiar neon-lit avenues of Vice City. The trailer offers glimpses of diverse environments, from the iconic beaches and bustling downtown areas to seemingly more rural and swampy regions, hinting at a significantly larger and more detailed open world than previous entries.
A Bonnie and Clyde for the Modern Age?
The trailer heavily suggests a Bonnie and Clyde-esque dynamic between Jason and Lucia. We see moments of intimacy interspersed with high-octane action sequences, including bank robberies, car chases, and confrontations with law enforcement. The official synopsis further reinforces this: “Jason and Lucia have always known the deck is stacked against them. But when an easy score goes wrong, they find themselves on the darkest side of the sunniest place in America, in the middle of a criminal conspiracy stretching across the state of Leonida — forced to rely on each other more than ever if they want to make it out alive.”
Stunning Visuals Captured on PS5:
Adding to the excitement, the end of the trailer explicitly states that all footage was captured on PlayStation 5. This has left many fans in awe of the level of detail and graphical fidelity on display, fueling anticipation for the game’s visual presentation on next-generation consoles.
More Than Just a Pretty Picture:
Beyond the impressive graphics, Trailer 2 offers glimpses of the world’s inhabitants and activities. We see crowded beaches, bustling nightlife, interactions with eccentric locals, and hints at the satirical humor that the Grand Theft Auto series is known for. The level of environmental detail and character animation appears to be a significant step up from Grand Theft Auto V.
The Long Wait Continues:
While the trailer has undoubtedly reignited the hype, the wait for Grand Theft Auto VI continues. The game is currently slated for release on May 26, 2026, for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. However, this new look at Vice City and its inhabitants will surely keep fans theorizing and eagerly anticipating their return to this iconic location.

Doom: The Dark Ages has arrived, unleashing its medieval-inspired hellscape upon PCs and consoles. Built on the latest iteration of id Tech Engine 8, the game promises a visceral and brutal experience. But how does it perform across different hardware? Let’s dive into the performance reviews.
PC Performance: A Well-Optimized Beast (Mostly)
Initial reports indicate that Doom: The Dark Ages is a surprisingly well-optimized PC release, especially considering its high visual fidelity and the “ray tracing mandatory” nature of the engine. Digital Foundry’s Alex Battaglia lauded the game for its smoothness, lack of traversal hitches or shader compilation stutter, a welcome change from many recent PC releases.
Low-End to Mid-Range: Eurogamer reports the game runs well even on modest hardware like an AMD Ryzen 5 3600 and RTX 4060, achieving playable frame rates at 1440p with DLSS in Quality mode and max settings (including RTGI and RT Reflections). Optimized settings for lower-end GPUs can yield significant performance gains with minimal visual degradation.
High-End: Tom’s Guide tested the game on an RTX 5090 equipped Alienware Area-51, achieving a blistering 155 FPS at 4K with Ultra Nightmare settings and DLSS Frame Generation disabled. Enabling DLSS 4 x4 pushed the frame rates to an astonishing 344 FPS, although likely overkill for this type of single-player experience.
VRAM Usage: VRAM usage appears to be well-managed, with 8GB being sufficient for 1080p and 1440p even at maximum settings.
Upscaling: The game supports NVIDIA DLSS, AMD FSR, and Intel XeSS, along with frame generation from both NVIDIA and AMD, offering significant performance boosts without major visual compromises.
Ray Tracing: While the engine is built around ray tracing, the initial implementation seems performance-conscious. Higher reflection quality settings beyond “high” currently offer no visual or performance difference without the yet-to-be-released path tracing patch.
Potential Issues: Some users have reported the game not defaulting to their native resolution, causing initial blurriness. This is easily rectified in the settings.
Console Performance: A Tale of Resolution and Stability
The console performance paints a slightly more nuanced picture, with the Xbox Series X generally exhibiting the most stable performance.
Xbox Series X: Digital Foundry reports a “perfect” 60 FPS lock throughout their testing, making it the most consistent console experience. The resolution targets 1440p.
Xbox Series S: While also targeting 60 FPS, the Series S sees more significant visual cuts in level of detail, rendering distance, textures, global illumination, and post-processing. The resolution can dynamically drop as low as 635p in demanding scenes, and some frame rate dips occur in heavy combat.
PlayStation 5: The base PS5 aims for 1440p but experiences more frequent frame rate drops into the mid-50s, even in less intensive scenes. Digital Foundry noted the fluidity feeling lower than the Xbox Series S at times.
PlayStation 5 Pro: While the PS5 Pro targets a higher dynamic resolution (1662p upscaled to 2160p with 60fps), it also suffers from frame rate drops in demanding combat and open areas, similar to the base PS5. Digital Foundry concluded that the performance improvements over the base PS5 weren’t substantial enough, and the Xbox Series X remains “king” in terms of consistent performance.
Variable Rate Shading (VRS): The id Tech engine utilizes VRS on both Xbox consoles, which may contribute to their more stable performance. The implementation on PlayStation consoles appears less consistent. Ray-traced reflections are not present on consoles.
Overall:
Doom: The Dark Ages appears to be a technically impressive title, particularly on PC where the optimization allows even mid-range hardware to deliver a smooth and visually appealing experience. The console performance, while aiming for 60 FPS across the board, shows some inconsistencies, with the Xbox Series X currently offering the most stable frame rates. PlayStation users, especially on the base PS5 and even the Pro, may experience noticeable frame drops in demanding scenarios.
As with any new release, patches and driver updates could further refine performance across all platforms. However, the initial performance reviews suggest that id Software has largely delivered a technically sound foundation for this brutal and highly anticipated entry in the Doom franchise.
Brace yourselves, Fortnite fans, for a twist you never saw coming! The galaxy’s most debated Gungan, Jar Jar Binks, has embraced his destiny (or perhaps his true form?) and arrived in Fortnite as the sinister Darth Jar Jar. Epic Games has officially released a reveal trailer, unleashing this unexpected character upon the battle royale island.
From Zero to Sith Lord:
The Darth Jar Jar skin isn’t just a quirky cosmetic; it’s the culmination of a long-running fan theory that reimagines the clumsy Gungan as a powerful Sith Lord. This theory, embraced by many Star Wars fans, posits that Jar Jar’s bumbling persona was a facade, concealing his mastery of the Force and a connection to the dark side. Now, that theory has become a reality, at least within the Fortnite universe.
What to Expect:
The reveal trailer showcases Darth Jar Jar in all his sinister glory, wielding a red lightsaber and sporting a menacing look that’s a far cry from his usual goofy demeanor. Players can unlock the ability to purchase this outfit set by earning XP across any experience in Fortnite.
A Chaotic and Exciting Addition:
Darth Jar Jar’s arrival injects a dose of chaotic fun into Fortnite’s ever-expanding multiverse. Whether you love him or loathe him, his presence is sure to shake things up on the island. Get ready to battle it out as the Sith Lord himself, and may the force (or the clumsiness) be with you!
Key Details:
Darth Jar Jar is now available in Fortnite.
Players can unlock the outfit set by earning XP.
The skin is based on the popular fan theory that Jar Jar Binks is secretly a Sith Lord.
Are you ready to embrace the dark side and play as Darth Jar Jar? Let the chaos begin!
OnePlus enters the keyboard arena with the OnePlus Keyboard 81 Pro, signaling a shift from its primary focus on mobile phones. Collaborating with Keychron, renowned for high-quality mechanical keyboards, OnePlus has adapted and introduced tweaks to the existing Keychron Q1 Pro, presenting the 81 Pro as its inaugural mechanical keyboard offering.
Features and Design of the OnePlus Keyboard 81 Pro: Upon unboxing, the standout characteristic of the OnePlus Keyboard 81 Pro is its substantial weight. The CNC aluminum body not only imparts a robust and durable feel but also tips the scales at a considerable 1.8 kg, making it a heavyweight contender in the keyboard realm. Inside the packaging, users will find additional foam gaskets, thanks to the double gasket mounting, enhancing the overall build quality.
OnePlus goes the extra mile by including a keycap and switch puller, spare screws, and a hex key (Allen key) for enthusiasts keen on customization. Catering to those who prefer wired connections, a 2-meter USB Type-C to Type-C cable, sporting OnePlus’s distinctive bright Red hue, is provided. What sets it apart is the inclusion of a USB Type-A dongle, offering versatility for usage in both USB-C and A ports—an added convenience for users.
Discover the OnePlus Keyboard 81 Pro’s full potential as we delve into its performance and usability.
Now, let’s delve into the design of the OnePlus Keyboard 81 Pro. Embracing a clean and work-centric aesthetic, it exudes sophistication. The volume knob on the right side is not merely functional; it’s a visual delight with a diamond-like luster and tactile steps that feel rubbery. This feature adds both functionality and elegance, making volume adjustments a quick and enjoyable task. The OnePlus branding is subtle, with a red “Escape” key showcasing the company logo and a matching red “Enter” key – a tasteful nod to the brand without overwhelming the design. Turning the keyboard over reveals the company’s “Never Settle” tagline, maintaining a clean and minimalist appearance without flashy logos.
The OnePlus Keyboard 81 Pro adopts a 75% layout, a smart decision that optimizes desk space by omitting the Numpad area. Despite this space-saving choice, it retains essential keys like Page Up, Page Down, and Home on the right side. Interestingly, the keyboard comes with Mac keycaps by default, requiring a simple swap for the included Windows keys – a user-friendly customization touch.
The bottom features a feet bar that serves not only to adjust the keyboard’s angle and height but can also hold the keyboard upright, creating extra desk space when needed. While this is a noteworthy feature, its practicality might be overlooked, as users may forget about it in the midst of their work. It’s a reminder of the subtle yet ingenious features our gadgets offer.
Let’s delve into the essential details of the OnePlus Keyboard 81 Pro – the keycaps, pricing, and connectivity. In my hands, I had the Winter Bonfire variant equipped with Red tactile switches. OnePlus has adorned this version with PBT keycaps, crafted from high-quality polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) plastic. These keycaps boast solidity and resilience, maintaining their integrity without succumbing to the common issue of developing an oily shine from prolonged use. The sleek Dark Grey color scheme complements the premium feel, all priced at ₹16,999.
For those eyeing the Summer Breeze version with Blue linear switches, OnePlus introduces the Marble-mallow keycaps, adding a playful touch. These keycaps exhibit a soft and flexible nature, noticeable when squeezed off the keyboard. Adorned in a light Grey color scheme, this variant comes with a slightly higher price tag of INR 19,999.
Having transitioned from the OnePlus Keyboard 81 Pro to my previous Asus TUF Gaming K3, the tactile experience was noticeably different. Setting aside the price difference – with the Asus keyboard priced at ₹5,000 – the TUF keyboard felt somewhat plastic-like, making me yearn for the premium feel of the OnePlus keyboard’s keycaps.
Despite the redundancy of the Page and Home keys for my usage, the Delete key’s placement next to the volume knob proved quite handy. Adapting to the arrow keys’ location required some time, but once accustomed, their usage became comfortable. Individual preferences for key travel may vary, but I found the OnePlus Keyboard 81 Pro remarkably comfortable, providing responsive spring-back feedback and an overall satisfying typing experience.
As a lover of the clackity sounds of a keyboard, the OnePlus Keyboard 81 Pro’s tactile switches produced music to my ears. The keyboard emitted refined clicks, offering a gratifying typing experience without being excessively loud or harsh.
Crafted for Enthusiasts: A Comprehensive Review of the OnePlus Keyboard 81 Pro
Battery Performance of the OnePlus Keyboard 81 Pro: Equipped with a 4000mAh battery, the keyboard demonstrates commendable longevity in Bluetooth mode, lasting for a few days on average. It’s worth noting that if you activate the RGB lights, the battery will deplete at a quicker rate. In my usage, I tended to favor the wired connection to ensure a consistent power source.
Software Customization: Unlike some competitors, OnePlus doesn’t provide proprietary customization software for the Keyboard 81 Pro – a notable advantage. Owners can utilize third-party options, such as QMK and VIA, commonly supported by Keychron keyboards. These tools enable extensive configurations, allowing users to personalize keymapping, create macros, adjust language ISO layouts, and more. The QMK web app, accessible through a browser, offers a quick and seamless experience for remapping keys, creating macros, and tweaking lighting. Alternatively, the VIA app, available for installation, provides another avenue for software-based customization.
Value for Money: For keyboard enthusiasts exploring premium options like the Keychron Q1 Pro, the OnePlus Keyboard 81 Pro presents a compelling choice. Offering Bluetooth functionality and distinctive keycaps, it comes with the added benefit of well-established after-sales support from OnePlus. On the other hand, if wireless connectivity isn’t essential, the Keychron Q1 offers a more budget-friendly alternative, sacrificing wireless capabilities for a lower price. In the sub-INR 10,000 range, Keychron also offers several alternatives.
Where to Buy: As of the review’s writing, the OnePlus Keyboard 81 Pro is exclusively available for purchase on the OnePlus website.
The Verdict: The OnePlus Keyboard 81 Pro stands out as a heavyweight contender, both in its physical build and overall appeal. With a robust construction, stylish design, and catering to high-end keyboard enthusiasts, it introduces Bluetooth functionality and premium keycaps, delivering a comfortable typing experience. While the absence of backlit lettering and dependency on third-party tools may be drawbacks for some, the keyboard’s hot-swappable keycaps and switches offer customization options. If you have even a mild interest in mechanical keyboards and prioritize after-sales support, the OnePlus Keyboard 81 Pro is a worthwhile investment.
