Razer™, the leading global lifestyle brand for gamers, today announced the Razer Prio, an ultra-mobile, foldable USB-C gaming controller engineered for iPhone and Android[1]. Built to turn daily downtime, from commuting delays to breaks between classes, into console-grade gaming sessions, the Prio delivers full-sized control in a palm-sized form that slips into any pocket.
The first in Razer’s new line of ultra-portable mobile gaming controllers, the Razer Prio packs full-sized, console-grade control into a one-of-a-kind foldable form that fits in a pocket, turning everyday downtime into real play.
“With the Razer Prio, we set out to erase the tradeoffs between portability and precision,” said Travis Furst, Head of AI Hardware and Console Division at Razer. “It folds down to the size of a credit card, but the moment it opens, it plays like a full controller. That’s the whole game, wherever you happen to be sitting.”
Unlock Adventure Anywhere
Crafted for ultimate portability, the Prio’s folding mechanism slides out of a pocket and twists open in one motion. About the size of a credit card when folded (107 mm × 67 mm × 23 mm) and just 101 g, it opens into a full-sized controller that fits phones up to 7 inches, including the iPhone 17 Pro Max and Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra.
Real games deserve real controls. The Razer Prio packs a complete layout, low-profile thumbsticks, a tactile 4-way D-pad, face buttons, bumpers, and triggers into a pocket-sized companion.
At the core of that layout are precise capacitive analog thumbsticks engineered to reduce drift, a first for a Razer controller. Contactless capacitive sensing reads movement at high resolution with no physical contacts to wear down, so aim stays sharp and steady round after round, even on a bumpy commute.
No pairing. No extra battery to charge. The Razer Prio plugs straight into the phone over USB-C for seamless, low-latency response. Its flexible design fits most slim to medium phone cases, so gamers can jump straight into the action without stripping their setup.
Discreet and Comprehensive Control
Whether on a crowded bus, in a waiting room, or between classes, the Prio’s silent tactile face buttons deliver clean, responsive feedback, letting players tap into another world without disturbing the one around them.
The Razer Prio supports both iPhone (iOS 18) and Android (Android 14 or later) for local play and streaming via Xbox Cloud Gaming, Steam Link, PS Remote Play, and Razer PC Remote Play via the Razer Cortex Mobile and PC apps. A dedicated Razer Cortex Mobile button opens your game library in a single tap—just open Razer Cortex Mobile, link it to Razer Cortex on PC, and play your favorite PC titles on your mobile device.
Delay, Meet Play.
Portability – a one-of-a-kind foldable form the size of a credit card, just 101 g, that twists open into a full-sized controller and slips into any pocket.
Precision – a complete console-grade layout with capacitive analog thumbsticks engineered to reduce drift, silent tactile face buttons, and direct USB-C low latency performance.
Compatibility – plug-and-play on iPhone (iOS 18) and Android (14 or later), local or streamed via Xbox Cloud Gaming, Steam Link, PS Remote Play, and Razer PC Remote Play, with one-tap launch through Razer Cortex Mobile.
From the daily commute to long queues, the Razer Prio turns life’s in-between moments into playtime: full-sized control, pocket-sized freedom.

Southern California’s ultimate haunted house returns this fall. Reign of Terror Haunted House, located at Janss Marketplace in Thousand Oaks, officially opens its 2026 Halloween season on September 25th, bringing guests an expanded 35,000-square-foot attraction featuring 145 rooms across 12 (2 of them brand new) terrifying themes.
For 2026, Reign of Terror is introducing two completely new sections: “The Blue Bayou Hotel” and “Backwoods”. Both areas have been built from the ground up with new environments, props, characters and scares while delivering the elaborate sets, immersive atmosphere and relentless scares Reign of Terror has become known for.
In The Hotel, guests enter a sinister new environment where checking in may be considerably easier than checking out. Backwoods takes visitors into a secluded and decaying world far removed from civilization, where they’ll quickly discover they aren’t alone. Together, the two additions represent a major expansion of the Reign of Terror experience for the 2026 season.
And the changes don’t stop there.
The fan-favorite Fun House has been extensively remodeled for 2026, introducing new scares and surprises throughout the section. Reign of Terror has also significantly expanded its post-haunt photo experience, adding large-scale themed sets and props where guests can capture photos after surviving the attraction.
The expansion brings Reign of Terror to an enormous 35,000 square feet, 145 rooms and 12 interconnected themes, continuing the attraction’s reputation for delivering an unusually long haunted-house experience packed with detailed environments, live performers, special effects and scares around seemingly every corner.
Now entering its 27th year, Reign of Terror has grown from a local Halloween attraction into one of Southern California’s most elaborate haunted-house experiences. Its combination of Hollywood-quality sets, professional scare actors, immersive environments, extensive walkthrough and comparatively affordable admission continues to attract tens of thousands of horror fans each Halloween season.
“This was the BEST haunted house/maze I’ve ever been to! 10x better than horror nights at less than one third the price. The production value is like ‘muah’ chef’s kiss. Horror/Halloween fanatic approved,” – said one Yelp reviewer from the San Fernando Valley.
Event Details
Opening Night:
September 25th, 2025, doors Open at 7pm (runs through November 2nd, 2025)
Location:
Janss Marketplace, 285 N. Moorpark Road, Thousand Oaks, CA 91360

Publisher Kalypso Media and in-house developer Gaming Minds Studios today released the first gameplay trailer for Tropico 7. In accordance with El Prez’ edict, the release date is not disclosed in written form and revealed exclusively within the trailer – though El Prez may, in his infinite mercy, decide to spare you the date by the very end.
Citizens and future leaders are hereby instructed, and El Prez addresses his people with unmistakable authority: “Some information is not given. It is earned. Those who wish to know the future of Tropico… must watch, and obey.”
With an expanded system for political constitutions, edicts – which now dynamically depend on El Prez’ political position – and a new political matrix, new city building mechanics like curved roads and even roundabouts as well as terraforming, Tropico 7 continues the series’ signature blend of construction, governance, and satire, placing even greater emphasis on how leadership decisions shape Tropico under one unmistakable rule.
We know how this works. You skim, you scroll, you pretend to read, and then you jump straight to the bottom. Classic. But fine. El Presidente is feeling generous today.
Tropico 7 will be available on January 28, 2027 with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass, and on PC (Steam, Epic Games), Xbox on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation®5.

When “Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift” opens on Wednesday, September 16 at Universal Studios Hollywood, the theme park’s eagerly awaited first outdoor, high‑speed roller coaster will deliver an unprecedented surge of adrenaline and a new level of intensity to the destination, unlike anything experienced in the park’s decades‑long history.
With its striking visual design and state-of-the-art ride technology, this all-new roller coaster—the fastest in the Universal Destinations & Experiences portfolio—is set to redefine the thrill ride experience and further enrich Universal Studios Hollywood, renowned for creating world-class rides and attractions inspired by today’s most iconic entertainment properties.
Universal Pictures’ $7 billion Fast & Furious franchise, which celebrates its 25th anniversary this year, serves as the driving force behind Universal Studios Hollywood’s new, outdoor roller coaster, “Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift.” With speed, adrenaline and street racing at its core, the 11-film franchise is a natural fit for a coaster at a theme park where movie‑themed attractions already take center stage. An all-new film in the saga, Fast Forever, will race into theatres in March 2028.
The ride celebrates the Fast & Furious franchise and captures the spectacle, suspense and meticulous choreography created for the edge-of-your-seat driving sequences the films are renowned for, offering guests a chance to experience the energy and thrill of high-speed action for themselves.
Located on the Upper Lot of Universal Studios Hollywood, “Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift” is situated within an expansive red brick-garage-like structure. Two stationary, photo op prop car reproductions welcome guests just outside the ride as they make their way through the entry archway towards the queue.
In a technological first, a portion of the “Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift” ride track will race through a transparent encased section of the queue, building on the anticipation as guests wait to ride.
A unique dual-launching, split-ride track will alternate trains from dispatch to propel guests on an epic adventure that will take them over and under portions of the multilevel Starway escalator, through four spectacular launches, an exciting inverted dive loop, twisted pretzel loop and inverted stall, among others, at speeds of up to 72 MPH and a force of up to 3.6 Gs along 4,100 feet of elaborate aerial track constructed with sound-reduction technology while drifting at 360-degrees in their individual ride vehicles.
Thrill seekers will begin their journey lap-bar harnessed into one of four iconic Fast Saga ride vehicles—the Dodge Charger, Mazda RX-7, Nissan Skyline GT-R and the Toyota Supra—each modeled after the cars driven by favorite Fast characters in the film series. The arrival platform will be anchored by an all-original, large-scale mural created by world-renowned artist Tristan Eaton, which depicts the finale street racing action scene in the very first Fast film, 2001’s The Fast and the Furious, with a montage of the aerial-bound Dodge Charger and Toyota Supra vehicles racing against a speeding train. Another inspirational Tristan Eaton mural will be featured within the queue in tribute to the entire film franchise.
Equipped with a fully independent audio system, each ride vehicle will surround guests with true‑to‑type engine and sound effects unique to the car they are riding in. And, because each ride vehicle is fully rotational and independently programmed to drift in motion along each train, guests can enjoy four varying experiences depending on which vehicle they are seated.
With real estate at a premium at the Hollywood theme park destination, the visionaries at Universal Creative had the foresight to transform the hillside terrain into the backbone of the coaster, using its natural contours and vista as both the structural base and a defining element of the ride’s imaginative design. The end result delivers breathtaking panoramic views of the San Fernando Valley, the Universal Studio movie studio and the theme park.
Designed to advance the storyline while keeping guests entertained, the queue guides guests through an environment filled with recreated props from the Fast Saga films. Select displays will feature QR codes that guests can scan for additional behind‑the‑scenes insights and context about the displays. The QR code opens to Universal Studios’ fan engagement site, the “Backlot Club.” From there guests can either create a new account or login to their existing account to enjoy the behind-the-scenes information as it pertains to the various displays.
Highlights of the props include:
Car Cannon, featuring the car driven by Brian O’Conner in Fast & Furious 6
Roll Cage and Winch, featuring the 2010 Dodge Charger SRT8, driven by Dom Toretto, in Fast 5
Vault Truck, as featured in Fast 5
Motorcycle, as featured in F9, driven by Letty Ortiz
NOS System and Dodge Charger Engine, a recreation of the internal NOS operating system for the modified Fast & Furious ride vehicles in the films
Ramp Car, driven by Owen Shaw in Fast & Furious 6
Rolling Bomb, as featured in Fast X
Rollover Stunt Rig, a recreation of the rollover stunt rigging system used in the Fast & Furious films
Due to the dynamics of the roller coaster, guests will be required to place all belongings in complimentary lockers, located within the queue area. They will also be required to pass through metal detection before entering the ride platform to ensure all loose articles, including mobile phones, among other items, are placed securely in the lockers.This ambitious roller coaster benefits from Universal Destinations & Experiences’ decades-long expertise in revolutionizing the development of contemporary roller coasters across its global theme parks.
“Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift” joins Universal Studios Hollywood’s slate of unprecedented groundbreaking attractions, including the interactive land, SUPER NINTENDO WORLD™, featuring the critically-acclaimed “Mario Kart™: Bowser’s Challenge” ride; “The Wizarding World of Harry Potter™” highly immersive land that features Hogsmeade™ village, “Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey™” and “Flight of the Hippogriff™ rides; “Jurassic World—The Ride”; Illumination’s award-winning “The Secret Life of Pets: Off the Leash” and “Despicable Me Minion Mayhem”; Springfield, U.S.A. and “The Simpsons Ride™”; “TRANSFORMERS™: The Ride-3D” and “Revenge of the Mummy—The Ride,” as well as the theme park’s signature, behind-the-scenes Studio Tour attraction.

Channel37 releases Update 5.5: Deck Drop, the seventh Early Access update for The Last Caretaker, available on Steam and the Epic Games Store. The update adds new quests, memories, storage systems and locations alongside extensive optimization, fixes and polish shaped by player feedback. The Last Caretaker is also 20% off through September 13, and part of Steam PvE Survival Crafting Fest 2026.
Update 5.5: Deck Drop wasn’t originally on the roadmap. With Update 6 already in development, the team had another substantial batch of improvements and content ready ahead of schedule. Players had also been asking for better ways to store and move resources, smoother moment-to-moment play, and more reasons to revisit existing parts of the world. Rather than hold that work for the next major update, Channel37 decided to release it now.
Update 5.5: Deck Drop Highlights
Expanded storage: 11 new container modules, from portable storage to large Bulk Battery, Petrol and Diesel containers.
More history to uncover: Pack of new memories and even more HoloMemories, alongside new questlines MOSES Field Reserve Program and Memory for Aron.
More places to explore: New Gyro Towers, Container Dispensers, Warehouse expansion and additional discoveries throughout the world.
A smoother game: reduced loading stutter, improved vehicle handling and cameras, clearer UI, better weather and visibility, and extensive world polish.
A major fix and balancing pass: addressing crashes, quests, crafting, rockets, cables, containers, locations and progression issues.
Update 5.5: Deck Drop also expands several existing systems. Container Dispensers have been added across the world, the Fishing Module has been further tuned, and new secrets are there for players who explore deep into the world (Room 998 Transposium Tinfoil Club).
“Early Access works because players keep telling us where the game can be better,” said Antti Ilvessuo, Co-Founder and Creative Director at Channel37. “They play for a long time, they find things we missed, and they are very clear about what they want more of. We listened, had this work ready while Update 6 was still cooking, so making people wait for it didn’t make sense. This is the second time we’ve added an extra update, and we’re happy we can keep surprising our players.”
Update 5.5: Deck Drop continues Channel37’s approach of expanding the world while also improving what is already there. Update 6 remains on track as the next major update for The Last Caretaker.
The Last Caretaker is available now in Early Access on Steam and the Epic Games Store, currently discounted by 20% (now $27.99 / €23.99 / £21.59) through September 13.
