Add as a preferred source on Google

Apex Legends is getting its second event in season 12. Titled Warriors, the collection event brings the return of the fan-favorite Control mode, a variety of new skins, a brand-new Crypto heirloom, and more. The event will start on March 29 and run until April 12, giving players two weeks to grab all the cosmetics they want and reexperience the magic of Control.

Control is back, but only for the duration of the event. The mode will include a new zone to fight in called Caustic Treatment from Kings Canyon. The zone has been updated for the special 9-versus-9 mode with new ziplines for increased mobility, structures for added cover, and skydive launchers to help players reposition themselves. The zone takes advantage of Caustic Treatment’s natural flow and defensibility to prompt the large-scale fights Control is known for.

Arena mode will also be getting a new map called Drop-Off, a battle zone that sits atop a tower overlooking a futuristic city. Players will be able to take advantage of interior and exterior zones to outplay their foes — as long as they don’t fall off the edge of the tower. The map is permanent and will remain in the Arena map pool after the event ends.

Warriors will come with 24 new limited-time cosmetics, including a variety of legendary and epic skins for both legends and guns. The usual event reward tracker will display players’ progress through daily challenges. Collecting all 24 cosmetics grants Crypto’s new heirloom, the Biwon Blade. Players will also be able to purchase limited-edition cosmetic bundles from the in-game store.

Apex Legends’ Warriors Collection Event begins on March 29 and runs until April 12.

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.

This AMD mini PC beats Valve’s Steam Machine, but it costs a lot more
SteamOS on this AMD mini PC delivers higher frame rates than Valve's hardware

Valve's decision to officially support SteamOS 3.8 on standard gaming PCs has opened the door to an entirely new class of Steam Machines - without requiring gamers to buy Valve's own hardware. Now, a new benchmark from YouTuber ETA Prime suggests that a high-end AMD-powered mini PC can outperform Valve's upcoming Steam Machine by a comfortable margin. The only problem? It also costs several times more.

The testing highlights both the flexibility of SteamOS and the growing appeal of AMD's latest integrated graphics, but it also raises an important question: how much extra performance is actually worth paying for?

OLED has been one of the clearest upgrades gaming monitors have received in years, but the problem has always been the price. Cutting-edge OLED gaming monitors have mostly lived in enthusiast territory, especially if you wanted a panel larger than 30 inches. Dell’s Alienware is now making that jump a little easier with its new 34-inch ultrawide QD-OLED gaming monitor, the AW3426DW.

The monitor was first shown at CES 2026 and is now available as part of Alienware’s 30th-anniversary lineup, alongside two more affordable VA models. At $799.99, the AW3426DW is still expensive, but for a 34-inch ultrawide with a 5-stack Penta Tandem QD-OLED panel, the price is lower than expected.
