Get to know the weapons of Sega’s Binary Domain in this new trailer

Add as a preferred source on Google

When it comes to video games, sometimes simple is best. In Sega’s upcoming Binary Domain, you won’t face moral dilemmas about the ethics of killing enemies, you won’t be called to search for clues at a crime scene, nor will you have to overcome psychological horrors as you make your way to the evil entity waiting for you.

In Binary Domain your enemies are mechanical constructs of varying size, speed and anger, and your goal is to mow them down on your way past. There is still a lengthy story revolving around the first creation of a robot that could pass for human, and the state of the isolationist Japan in the future, but your primary goal is: see robot, shoot robot.

To help in your robot-icide, squads will assist you, as well as an arsenal at your disposal. In the clip below, Sega has highlighted a few of the weapons you will have access to in your quest to become scourge of the mechanical world.

Phantom Blade Zero makes me think Sony might have a point about going all digital
Physical games still matter, but when the disc isn't a complete copy of the game, the argument for keeping it becomes harder to make.

I'm a big supporter of physical games. There's something satisfying about owning a disc, lending it to a friend, or grabbing a bargain without waiting for a digital storefront to approve the price. But Phantom Blade Zero has me questioning one of the biggest arguments in the physical-versus-digital debate. The game's digital version launches on October 29, 2026, while its physical PS5 editions, including Standard, Deluxe, and Ultimate versions, won't arrive until 2027.

And there's another wrinkle: the digital version reportedly needs up to 134GB of storage, raising questions about how much of the game can actually fit on a standard Blu-ray disc. A standard PS5 Ultra HD Blu-ray disc maxes out at 100GB, so Phantom Blade Zero may need to ship across multiple discs or require players to download additional data to finish installing it. Either way, the idea of popping in a disc and having the complete game ready to play gets a little murkier.

Nintendo Switch 2 jailbreak breakthrough shows what AI can do, but it’s not a one-click hack
The software-only exploit works on the latest firmware, but it's tethered and still has significant limitations.
Nintendo Switch 2

The Nintendo Switch 2 has reportedly been jailbroken, and AI helped crack the code. Developer Sammy Hajhamid, aka pepsipu, used OpenAI's Codex to help exploit the console, even modding Mario Kart World with the likes of Peter Griffin and Hatsune Miku. But before anyone celebrates an unlocked Nintendo playground, there's a catch: the exploit is tethered, not a full-blown custom firmware jailbreak.

Microsoft may already be putting pieces of its rumored Game Pass overhaul into place.

Xbox has now started testing a pay-as-you-go version of Cloud Gaming that does not require a Game Pass subscription.
