This story is part of our Summer Gaming Marathon series.

Xbox has officially announced all-digital versions of the Xbox Series X and S consoles, as well as a brand new version of the Xbox Series X console that has 2TBs of harddrive space.

Last year, rumors swirled after “Project Brooklin” was leaked during the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) trial. This project talked about an all-new digital console with faster Wi-Fi, a redesign, and more. However, this announcement seems to be more in line with the traditional console cycle of releasing digital versions halfway through the lifespan rather than an entirely new project. It looks like these digital consoles are a pared-down version of the leaked project.

All three of these consoles will launch for the 2024 holiday season.

Preorders and regional market availability for these consoles will be coming soon. Nom additional information on those details has been given at this time, however, the team doesn’t have a lot of runway before having to release these details.

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?

Dell’s new Alienware monitors are brighter, sharper, and cost less than expected for OLED upgrade
This 34-inch QD-OLED curved gaming monitor is much cheaper than expected

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.

Criterion says Burnout isn’t forgotten… but that’s exactly what worries me
Battlefield's success makes EA's decision easy to understand, but it also leaves a huge hole in arcade racing.
Burnout Paradise Remastered Featured

As part of its recent interview with IGN, Criterion reflected on its 30-year journey, from Burnout and Need for Speed to helping revive Battlefield. The studio made it clear that Burnout remains an important part of its identity, but it also acknowledged that its future now lies firmly with Battlefield. Fittingly, Criterion's new 30th anniversary logo proudly carries the tagline: "Criterion: A Battlefield Studio."

On paper, that makes perfect sense. Battlefield 6 has already become one of EA's biggest success stories in years. It revived a franchise many had written off, delivered the biggest launch in Battlefield history, and reminded everyone why the series was once Call of Duty's fiercest rival. As a Battlefield fan, I genuinely couldn't be happier. As a Burnout fan, though? That realization stings a little.
