Forza Horizon 6 takes the arcade racing series to Japan in 2026

engadget.com Unknown 2025-10-12 16:22:53

Microsoft has officially unveiled the next Forza Horizon game, confirming months of rumors that the latest entry in its consistently excellent open-world racing series will be set in Japan. Announced, rather fittingly, at Tokyo Game Show in an Xbox briefing, Forza Horizon 6 has a 2026 release date and will launch first on Xbox and PC. A few years ago it would have stayed on those platforms, but after Forza Horizon 5 made its way to PS5 earlier this year, all bets are off on Microsoft exclusivity

These 3 Anti-aging Exercises Will Keep You Young and Strong

Our bodies naturally lose muscle mass as we age. As a result, we may feel stiffer, weaker and move slower. However, while the aging process is a fact of life, losing strength and mobility doesn't have to be. Your life isn't over just because you're getting older. What's more important is maintaining what strength and mobility you have now, so you can age well. Staying active is one of the most powerful ways to stay independent and feel good as the years pass.

A critic might accuse Xiaomi of copying Apple a little too closely in its launch event for the Xiaomi 17 phones, while a fan might say the company is trying to beat Apple at its own game. Either way, it’s pretty clear that the Chinese giant had Cupertino in mind when announcing its new flagship line, even if the phones themselves are more unique, helped by a second screen found on the back of its two new Pro

I’m glad Pixels don’t use Snapdragon. Here’s why!

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-12 20:02:17

Of all the hills I’m willing to die on, this might be the one that gets the most pushback. It’s a controversial opinion, I know, but I’m going to say it anyway: I’m glad Google Pixel phones don’t use Snapdragon processors. Let me start my defense with a little analogy. Imagine that you’re in the market for a new vehicle. Your goal is to take your family on long road trips, exploring national parks and camping under the stars. You need space for people, beds, and maybe even a small kitchenette.

Xreal's One Pro intrigues me in ways Meta's smart glasses don't

There I was, sitting on the couch in a nondescript suburban cafe, typing away on a MacBook Pro while staring off into the distance with what looked to be oversized glasses (which also were conspicuously plugged into the computer). To most people, I probably looked a bit silly. Nobody actually commented on my setup, or maybe I was just too focused to notice.

California has one of the nation’s most comprehensive consumer data privacy laws. But it’s not always easy for people to exercise those privacy rights.
