Razer Unveils the Barracuda V2 Pro Wireless Gaming Headset

2 weeks ago

Razer™, the leading global lifestyle brand for gamers, today announced the Razer Barracuda V2 Pro, a premium multi-platform wireless gaming headset engineered for gamers who move seamlessly between desktop gaming and mobile use, with added flexibility for console and handheld play.

Built for the way gamers play today, the Barracuda V2 Pro combines Razer™ TriForce Bio-Cellulose 40 mm Drivers, THX Spatial Audio+, Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation, AI-powered microphone noise cancellation, and simultaneous 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth connectivity in a headset with up to 70 hours of battery life.

Whether at the desktop, on the couch, or gaming on the go, it delivers premium audio across every part of the day, from gaming to entertainment, calls, travel, and everyday listening.

“Gamers want one headset that keeps up with their whole day, and the Barracuda V2 Pro is our answer,” said Barrie Ooi, Head of PC Gaming Division at Razer. “It brings Razer-grade gaming audio, Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation, AI-powered Dual-Mode microphones with noise cancellation, and all-day battery life into one headset that moves with you from your battlestation to mobile gaming, without asking players to compromise on any of it.”

Built for Speed. Free to Roam.

Powered by Razer™ HyperSpeed Wireless, the Barracuda V2 Pro delivers low latency gaming audio, up to twice as fast as Bluetooth LE, keeping audio and voice chat locked in across PC, mobile, console, and handheld devices. A built-in Razer SmartSwitch button moves between 2.4 GHz wireless and Bluetooth in seconds, so desktop and mobile setups stay equally within reach.

Simultaneous 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth audio also allows players to stay connected to calls, messages, or music without leaving the game, while console and handheld support extends that same flexibility beyond desktop and mobile.

Immersive Sound. Total Focus.

Powered by Razer™ TriForce Bio-Cellulose 40 mm Drivers, the Barracuda V2 Pro delivers rich, natural sound with crisp highs, clear mids, and deep, distortion-free bass, bringing detailed audio to gaming, music, and entertainment.

When connected to a PC, the Barracuda V2 Pro unlocks THX Spatial Audio+ with 7.1.4 virtual surround sound, adding four overhead channels that position audio cues not only around players but above them for a more precise and layered soundstage.

Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation uses both external and internal-facing microphones to tune out distractions at home, in transit, and everywhere in between, keeping players focused on the game.

Pack Light. Play Long.

Weighing just 285 g, the Barracuda V2 Pro combines a lightweight frame with a foldable, lay-flat design that packs easily for any journey, from the desk to the daily commute.

Integrated wireless dongle storage keeps the setup travel-ready, while plush ear cushions and a comfortable headband support extended wear across long gaming sessions, work calls, and everyday entertainment.

A dual-mode microphone system adapts to the moment: a detachable boom mic delivers full voice clarity for PC gaming and squad comms, while internal beamforming mics take over for a streamlined, boom-free setup when on the go. AI-powered microphone noise cancellation works across both configurations, cutting background noise so speech comes through clearly wherever players are.

With up to 70 hours of battery life, the Barracuda V2 Pro is built to last over multiple days of use, reducing the need for constant charging and keeping players immersed for longer.

One Headset. Every Day.

Built for Gaming: Razer™ TriForce Bio-Cellulose 40 mm Drivers, 7.1.4 virtual surround sound through THX Spatial Audio+ on PC, and Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation combine for a focused, immersive listening experience.
Seamless Wireless Connectivity: Razer™ HyperSpeed Wireless delivers low latency gaming audio across PC, mobile, console, and handheld devices, while simultaneous 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth audio keeps players connected to calls and music without leaving the game.
Built for Life on the Go: A foldable, 285 g design, a dual-mode microphone system, and up to 70 hours of battery life let the Barracuda V2 Pro travel as easily as it performs.

The Barracuda V2 Pro represents Razer’s continued commitment to delivering audio products that support the evolving ways gamers play, connect, and consume entertainment.

By combining immersive gaming-grade audio with a sleek, travel-ready design and all-day comfort, it gives players one headset built to handle every part of their day, from desktop gaming and mobile entertainment to calls and travel, with console and handheld compatibility rounding out its multi-platform versatility.

Enshrouded Official Launch Trailer

News, Geek News, PlayStation 5 News, Trailers / Videos, Windows PC News

Tomorrow at 08:00 PDT / 11:00 EDT / 16:00 BST / 17:00 CEST, developer Keen Games are releasing their successful indie co-op survival ARPG game, Enshrouded, in its 1.0 PC iteration and console debut on PlayStation. Today, they are excited to confirm the complete list of features, updates, and changes to anticipate with the release of Enshrouded 1.0. The launch will see major content added, including though not limited to: the fully revealed Embervale world map, a new biome called Cinder’s Cradle, more points of interest across other biomes, game-changing new features, full voice acting (English, Chinese & German), and a conclusion to the current storyline, plus significant improvement to performance, presentation, quality of life, and much more. Enshrouded will be available on Steam and PlayStation 5 for €39.99 / $39.99 USD, with a 10% launch discount on both platforms during the first 14 days, starting October 15th at 4 p.m. CEST. The release of Enshrouded 1.0 is the most exciting update yet, extending an already expansive world of possibilities well beyond its original ideation, for both players and its developers. Keen Games have confirmed plans for Enshrouded, including the Xbox Series X | S launch in Spring 2027, and the commitment to support the game with both free & paid content for years to come.

A fully-formed Enshrouded experience awaits. Enshrouded’s 1.0 update gives the story of Embervale an ending – though certainly not an end. The world map reaches completeness with the addition of Cinder’s Cradle, a new biome of islands in the sky where vertical exploration opens new paths to discovery through ancient ruins and veins of flowing lava. New Hollow Halls, new enemies and a higher level cap raise the stakes. The new Sparkworks creation tools put a logic system in players’ hands, so they can build interactive bases, elaborate dungeons and adventures of their own that could be shared with the community as part of Adventure Sharing.

This major update increases the amount of tools to allow players complete customization of Embervale; detailed voxel building allows them to carve homes into mountainsides, restore ruined structures or raise entire settlements, shaping each creation down to individual blocks, while character progression offers an expansive skill tree permitting players’ preferences for melee, ranged, and magical abilities without being locked into a single class. Whether exploring hidden dungeons, experimenting with a new build, or working together on a castle, players can adventure alone or in co-op with up to 16 players on PC and 8 players on PlayStation 5. Following a successful Early Access that saw 8 major updates, 14 patches and 42 hotfixes enjoyed by over 5.5 million players, the team is pleased to share the full list of changes to arrive with tomorrow’s 1.0 update, for familiar and brand new players alike, 1.0 is Enshrouded’s biggest, best looking, best running, and most exciting version of the game so far.

“Enshrouded has come an incredibly long way since its Early Access launch, and much of that progress is thanks to our amazing community. Their enthusiasm, creativity, and thoughtful feedback have been invaluable in helping us make the right decisions along the way,” said Jan Jöckel, CEO of Keen Games. “Version 1.0 brings everything together: a complete world to explore, the conclusion of our current storyline, major improvements to visuals and performance, and a more polished experience throughout. With Sparkworks and Adventure Sharing, we’re also taking the first steps toward letting players create and share adventures of their own – something we’re especially excited to build upon. Reaching 1.0 is a proud moment for everyone at Keen Games, but there’s still so much more we want to do with Enshrouded.”

Expeditions: Samurai Dev Diary Details Upcoming Homestead

2 weeks ago

News, Geek News, Windows PC News

The Sengoku period was a century of civil war, and for a samurai, chaos meant opportunity. A sharp blade and a proud name were enough to start with, even without a single rice field to call his own. Battles won and favors earned could bring the crowning moment: a fief of his own to rule. Expeditions: Samurai is on that very same path. Act 1, available now in Early Access, and Act 2, which the team is hard at work on right now, cover your early years. Act 3, coming with the full release, is where you rise from warrior and commander to lord or lady of your own village. The latest dev diary from Campfire Cabal gives a first look at your future home – and the people who will live there with you.

Home Is Where the Hatamoto Is
The Expeditions series has had its own approach to camps all the way from Conquistador’s survival challenges to Rome’s legion camp. Expeditions: Samurai goes one step further: from Act 3 on, you get a homestead of your own – a village to build, expand and fill with loyal village people (no singing, no cowboy, no cop, different navy). A quick overview what the village will offer:

You unlock upgrades by completing quests and inviting followers, not by grinding for resources.
You talk to your followers instead of clicking through menus, and most of them join your camp on the road.
Weapon abilities are no longer randomized when you craft. You can customize unique items, or equip your whole team with katana and yumi.

Further down the road, we will share more details about the village and the final Early Access update, but the next dev diary in a few weeks will offer a closer look at Update 2.

Ashes of the Singularity II Launches November 10th

News, Geek News, Windows PC News

The war for the soul of the solar system is nigh as Stardock today announced that Ashes of the Singularity II will release November 10, 2026, on Steam. The sequel to the massive-scale real-time strategy game puts players in the middle of a war over humanity’s future, fighting against enemies that have already surpassed it.

Set in the near future, Ashes of the Singularity II puts humanity in a fight for its own survival. The Post-Human Coalition, a faction of humans who have abandoned their physical bodies, has become the most technologically advanced power in the solar system. At the same time, a rogue artificial intelligence has built the AI Substrate, a machine civilization determined to secure its own future at any cost. Caught between them, humanity is losing ground.

The nations of Earth have set aside long-standing rivalries to form the United Earth Forces. Outmatched in technology and weaker unit for unit, the UEF must rely on what humanity still does best: large armies, disciplined infantry, and strategies drawn from thousands of years of military experience.

“We’re grateful to every player who jumped in during Next Fest and our playtests. Ashes of the Singularity II is a better game because of them,” said Adrian Wright, Vice President of Entertainment at Stardock. “On November 10, the fight to save humanity begins in massive-scale RTS battles we’re eager for players to experience.”

Players can lead humanity through the singleplayer campaign or take command of any of the three factions in instant action skirmish and multiplayer, each with its own units and unique style of play.

Since the Steam Next Fest demo and September’s public multiplayer playtest, the development team has continued to improve gameplay, balance, performance, and multiplayer stability based on player feedback.

Ashes of the Singularity II Key Features:

Massive Armies, Vast Battlefields: Command thousands of units in real time across continent-sized maps, with Strategic Zoom letting players move seamlessly from orbital command to frontline combat.

Face Enemies of Our Own Making: Take command of the United Earth Forces, the Post-Human Coalition, or the AI Substrate, each with unique units, strategies, and philosophies.

Be the Commander: Victory comes from planning and logistics, not speed or reflexes, letting players focus on strategy rather than unit-by-unit control.

Unify Humanity Under Your Command: Lead humanity’s United Earth Forces against Post-Human expansion and Substrate machinations in a story rooted in a near-future scenario of survival and restoration.

Endless Replayability: Generate custom battlefields and take on computer-controlled opponents designed by some of the industry’s most experienced RTS developers.

Multiplayer, Competitive and Co-Op: Join friends or rivals online in head-to-head matches or team up in cooperative battles.

All-Terrain Warfare: Defeat humanity’s foes on frozen lakes, treacherous mountain passes, and lava-filled chasms that change with persistent damage as the battle rages on.

Ashes of the Singularity II will release on November 10, 2026. The standard edition will be available at launch for $39.99; with a premium edition that includes the game, first three DLC packs and soundtrack for $69.99. Both editions will carry a special 20% launch discount from Nov. 10-17

Steelseries New Sensei Pro and Rival Pro Series Mice Available Now

News, Geek News, Peripherals News, Trailers / Videos

SteelSeries, the original esports brand that fuses gaming & culture, is leading the way in defining a “gaming lifestyle.” The worldwide brand creates industry-defining esports and gaming peripherals with a focus on premium quality, innovation, and functionality.

The new SteelSeries Rival Pro x Sensei Pro Series mice combine three key breakthrough technologies to provide gamers with a real game-changing advantage. Ultra-Wideband (UWB) wireless sidesteps 2.4GHz traffic by operating in a super-fast tier of the spectrum with roughly 20x the bandwidth. A True 8K (8000 Hz) polling rate delivers up to 8,000 Hz reports for faster response times, more accurate tracking, reduced input delay, and smoother cursor movement. To fully unleash the power of 8K on UWB wireless, the Sensei Pro and Rival Pro Series mice are equipped with SteelSeries’ Infinite Power System, featuring hot-swappable batteries for uninterrupted gameplay, which equates to “8K all day.”

The SteelSeries Rival Pro and Sensei Pro Series mice are purpose-built to help players perform at their peak and are available at SteelSeries.com and retailers around the world for the following MSRPs:

Sensei Pro and Rival Pro (Black, White) – US $179.99 | EMEA €199.99 | UK £169.99
Sensei Pro Mini and Rival Pro Mini (Black, White) – US $179.99 | EMEA €199.99 | UK £169.99
Wireless Travel Dongle (exclusive to steelseries.com) – US $24.99 | EMEA €24.99 | UK £24.99

SteelSeries is Back! While 8K is all the rage, gamers can’t necessarily take full advantage of 8K polling consistently because there is significant congestion on the 2.4 GHz highway, and 8K polling itself is power-hungry. Like the 5G mobile network wars, different brands claim to have the fastest network and best coverage, but with different metrics and implementations, making it hard to understand. The truth is, 8K polling is only as fast as the signal behind it, and the 2.4GHz band that nearly every wireless mouse relies on is congested with headsets, keyboards, phones, and every other device in the area, all fighting for the same spectrum. Ultimately, it all comes down to performance and giving players a competitive edge. This isn’t an evolution; this is a revolution – Introducing the new SteelSeries Rival Pro x Sensei Pro Series.
