You Can Now Play ‘The Last of Us Part II’ in Chronological Order

wired.com Megan Farokhmanesh 2026-02-04 06:00:43

The video Game publisher Naughty Dog released a free update to The Last of Us Part II today that adds a new chronological story mode. The mode effectively replaces the game’s nonlinear structure that bounced players between two separate characters. Otherwise, the update keeps the gameplay the same. Game owners will get the new mode automatically as part of the latest patch download. In the original version of The Last of Us Part II, players switch between dual protagonists Ellie and Abby, whos

‘Edge of Eternities’ Will Take ‘Magic: The Gathering’ to the Stars

A certain Star franchise may have boldly declared space the final frontier, but for Magic: The Gathering, it’s only the beginning. After the huge risk (and ultimate success) of its Final Fantasy set last month, the venerable card game is leaping into another big risk, although this time devoid of any flashy crossover: its next set, Edge of Eternities, will mark Magic‘s first proper foray into full-on science fiction. The series has flirted with sci-fi concepts across its fantastical settings fo

What is AGI? Nobody agrees, and it’s tearing Microsoft and OpenAI apart.

arstechnica.com Unknown 2026-02-04 15:50:29

When is an AI system intelligent enough to be called artificial general intelligence (AGI)? According to one definition reportedly agreed upon by Microsoft and OpenAI, the answer lies in economics: When AI generates $100 billion in profits. This arbitrary profit-based benchmark for AGI perfectly captures the definitional chaos plaguing the AI industry. In fact, it may be impossible to create a universal definition of AGI, but few people with money on the line will admit it. Over this past year

Meet the America Party, Elon Musk’s Harebrained Third-Party Scheme

wired.com Jake Lahut 2026-02-04 20:17:19

Elon Musk soft-launched a third party over the weekend, and so far, the billionaire seems to be manifesting his “America Party” into existence. Hard-launching the party, which he first posted about through a poll on X, would involve filing official paperwork, such as Federal Election Commission forms, and signing up to petition in individual states. Musk has not done those things yet. What Musk has done, however, is open the door for what could be the most well-funded attempt ever at launching

They look just like honeybees, but this hybrid between European and African honeybees is infamous among beekeepers for ganging up and attacking intruders—bee or human—earning them the nickname “killer bee.” Africanized bees arrived on U.S. soil in the 1990s and have since been spotted across parts of the southern U.S. But this latest sighting of so-called kil
