This wired headset works perfectly with both the Xbox Series X and Series S. It even works with the Xbox One, so you can use it on your old console while you wait for your new one. It also works on PC and Mac. This Astro A40 TR deal’s most unique feature is the accompanying mixer. Plug your headset into this mixer lets you adjust your master volume and how loud your voice is compared to the in-game sound. If you’re a streamer, this is essential. You don’t want your voice to get covered up by every gun fired in Call of Duty. You can use the accompanying software for even more sound customization options.

This is a comfy headset, perfect for marathoning games or hosting long streaming sessions. The ear cups are well-padded and adjustable, moving up and down and also pivoting. They’re fully ready for tournament play. Optional speaker tags will dampen noise bleed, so the player next to you can’t hear your team’s callouts. You can even swap the microphone to either side. The high-quality sound will give you an edge over players using cheap gaming headsets. Astro Gaming has previously made our list of best gaming headsets of 2020.

If you've been curious about Xbox Cloud Gaming but didn't want another monthly subscription, Microsoft may have a new option for you. The company is testing a free, ad-supported version of Xbox Cloud Gaming for Xbox Insiders, allowing eligible players to stream select games they already own without a Game Pass membership.

However, you'll have to watch a short advertisement before your session begins. Microsoft says the ads will never interrupt gameplay, making this an early test of whether a simple tradeoff can bring cloud gaming to more players.

Lenovo has expanded its LOQ gaming laptop lineup with a new graphics option. The company has introduced a refreshed version of the LOQ 17IRX10, pairing Intel's Core i7-14700HX processor with Nvidia's newly announced GeForce RTX 5070 12GB laptop GPU. The update gives buyers another configuration to choose from without changing the overall design or feature set of the laptop.

The new variant joins Lenovo's existing LOQ 17IRX10 lineup, which was previously available with GeForce RTX 5050, RTX 5060, and RTX 5070 8GB graphics options. While the chassis remains unchanged, the addition of a 12GB RTX 5070 brings more VRAM to the series, a specification that has become increasingly important as modern AAA games demand larger texture caches and higher memory capacity.
