How to join the Remix Prelude live event

Remix: The Prelude will have a new playlist of the same name, which means it will be a different game mode than your typical Creative/UEFN maps. As per Epic, the event will take place on the Battle Royale island, so brace yourselves as it goes live.

To join the event, all you need to do is scroll down in the Discover Row under the By Epic column and you’ll be able to spot the playlist icon there.

We advise you to load into the playlist at least 30 minutes prior to the event to avoid long queue times and connection errors, both of which are quite common in an event of such scale.

What will happen during the live event?

The Remix Prelude live event has a concert theme that is rumored to bring in Marshmello to kick-start a party that will rift players onto the Chapter 2 Remix island. As of now, you’ll be able to spot a Rift Beacon active at the Restored Reels point of interest (POI )that WILL SHOOT a beam at the screen and open a portal through the Chapter 2 graffiti.

However, more rumors suggest that rather than players traveling to the island, POIs and more gameplay elements from Chapter 2 seasons could arrive on the Chapter 5 map.

All of this will unfold as players get closer to the Chapter 5 ending live event that will kick things off in a remixed way for OG players who loved all the seasons of Chapter 2.

Well… at least God of War Laufey is getting a physical disc
Santa Monica Studio quietly confirmed the upcoming adventure won't be download-only.

Last week, Sony lit the gaming community on fire by announcing that all new PlayStation games released from January 2028 onwards would be digital-only, effectively bringing an end to physical discs for future releases. At the same time, the company also confirmed it would shut down the PlayStation 3 and PS Vita digital stores by July 2027, reinforcing concerns that digital storefronts and the games tied to them don't last forever. Unsurprisingly, the announcements triggered widespread backlash from collectors and long-time PlayStation fans. In the middle of all that, Santa Monica Studio offered a surprisingly comforting update: God of War Laufey will be available on disc. It's only one sentence, but it says a lot.

More than just a physical release

Samsung Display’s Gaming-optimized OLED Products Showcased at COMPUTEX 2026

Samsung Display has introduced OBLYX, its first dedicated OLED brand for gaming laptops, as the company looks to strengthen its position in one of the fastest-growing segments of the PC market. The announcement was made at Bilibili World 2026 (BW2026) in Shanghai, marking Samsung Display's first appearance at China's largest gaming and anime convention.

Rather than unveiling a new display technology, Samsung is creating a recognizable identity for its gaming-focused OLED panels, much like established branding for processors or graphics cards. The move also hints at the company's ambitions in China, where demand for OLED-equipped gaming laptops is accelerating rapidly, according to a Digital Today report.

Razer’s Sanrio collaboration has already produced a full desk setup, and the final drop is now here. The company has launched the Razer Kraken Kitty V2 BT Cinnamoroll Edition, a wireless headset themed around one of Sanrio’s most recognizable characters.

Cinnamoroll is a white puppy from Sanrio, the Japanese company behind Hello Kitty and several other globally recognized character brands. He is known for his long floppy ears, blue eyes, curly tail, and soft cloud-like look. As per the Sanrio lore, he was born high above the clouds and can fly by flapping his big ears. Razer has leaned heavily into that identity for this headset, replacing the usual kitty look with Cinnamoroll’s floppy ears and a sky-blue color scheme.
