Logitech G, a brand of Logitech (SIX: LOGN) (NASDAQ: LOGI) and a leading innovator of gaming and sim racing technologies and gear, today announced the launch of the Logitech G522 Gaming Headset, a new addition to its award-winning G5 series, designed to elevate both gameplay and personal expression.
Logitech G announces the new Logitech G522 Gaming Headset, an addition to its award-winning G5 series, designed to elevate both gameplay and personal expression.
“G522 was made for gamers who bring passion and personality to everything they do,” said Ujesh Desai, vice president and general manager of Logitech G. “Whether you’re climbing the ranks, streaming for your audience, or pulling all-night gaming sessions, the G522 ups your game with top-tier performance, features, and style.”
G522 builds on the strong foundation of the widely popular Logitech G733 headset, carrying its legacy further while introducing an exciting evolution. At first glance, the family resemblance is clear, but as you look closer, the G522 reveals a fresh, elevated design. It’s all about progression – sleeker curves, a more sophisticated silhouette, and thoughtful design choices that reflect a modern take on performance and style. The sharper edges of the G733 have been transitioned into smooth, flowing lines showcasing a refined aesthetic.
“The G522 headset is the result of meticulous craftsmanship and a relentless attention to detail, every element is intentionally designed to deliver a curated, premium experience,” said Ahmed Riaz, Head of Design at Logitech G. “It builds on a proven formula for success that’s become synonymous with our G5 Series products, combining precision engineering with a deep understanding of what today’s gamers value most.”
G5 Series gamers play a wide variety of games. As a result, the new G522 headset had to perform to the level of the most discerning core gamers and be flexible enough to work seamlessly across all genres and types of gameplay.
Designed for long sessions, G522 delivers a significant leap forward in comfort, engineered with community feedback at its core. The ear cups have been redesigned with a wider shape and an added layer of memory foam to enhance cushioning and cooling, wrapped in a new fabric that’s both softer and more durable. A reversible suspension band now rests flatter and more evenly across the head, with added ridges to increase breathability and upgraded materials for extended durability. To ensure all-day comfort for every gamer, our player fit tests included individuals who wear glasses or earrings, making the G522 a headset built for everyone.
At the heart of the headset are new synchronized PRO-G drivers that deliver Logitech G’s highest-fidelity, paired with 48 kHz/24-bit digital signal processing for unparalleled immersion and precision. Gamers can hear subtle in-game cues—like distant footsteps or weapon reloads—with crystal clarity.
Communication is critical in competitive and online play, and the G522’s 48 kHz/16-bit microphone, enhanced by BLUE VO!CE technology ensures your voice cuts through the chaos. Customize your microphone audio with real-time filters and effects, delivering a professional sound for every session.
The G522 offers tri-mode connectivity, allowing seamless switching between LIGHTSPEED wireless, Bluetooth, and USB-C. It’s built for fluid transitions between platforms, PC, console, and mobile, without the lag or hassle.
G HUB software and the Logitech G mobile app allow gamers to fine-tune their audio with a 10-band EQ, personalize LIGHTSYNC RGB, adjust mic settings, and save up to three custom profiles directly to the headset.
Continuing Logitech G’s commitment to reducing environmental impact, the G522 is crafted with 27% post-consumer recycled plastic and low-carbon aluminum, aligning performance with purpose.
Availability
The Logitech G522 Gaming Headset is available now in black and white at LogitechG.com and select retailers worldwide for a suggested retail price of USD 159.99.

Today, Ubisoft revealed Anno 117: Pax Romana’s first gameplay details as the genre-defining builder franchise returns with its most ambitious installment yet and one of the biggest games ever made about the Roman Empire.
Players will embark in journey as a freshly appointed governor, sent by the Emperor to build and lead several provinces across the Empire, from the beautiful heartlands of Latium to the mysterious Celtic wetlands of Albion, where no civilized Roman wants to be. Anno 117: Pax Romana will launch in Winter of 2025 simultaneously on PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X | S, Amazon Luna, as well as Windows PC through Steam, the Epic Games Store, and Ubisoft Connect.
BECOME A LEGENDARY ROMAN GOVERNOR
Players will be able to build the cities of their dreams during the height of the Roman Empire. From where to place their starting villa to how diligently they send taxes back to Rome, players must balance their people’s needs with their emperor’s demands. Cooperate with other governors through trade and diplomacy or—if they prefer—prove their military prowess by challenging rivals with strategic land battles and modular naval combat. They may even defy the Emperor himself—but not without consequences.
CHOOSE THE FATE OF YOUR PROVINCES
Every choice players make as governor matters. Will players embrace local Celtic culture or impose Roman traditions? From architectural styles to which gods to worship, the degree to which players Romanize their provinces is up to them. Will they foster growth through diplomacy and deep economic ties or expand their territory through military might? And will they loyally serve the Emperor or foment rebellion? Their decisions will shape not only the future of their citizens and their provinces, but their own story as well.
EXPERIENCE THE PREMIER BUILDER GAME
Players build their provinces with unprecedented scale, detail, and flexibility. From kids chasing dogs through the streets to thousands cheering on the spectacles of the colosseum, players will take their provinces from a single settlement to multiple eternal cities across several provinces. From islands on the horizon to distant mountains, players can build upon almost any terrain they see— all with a graphical quality that is the benchmark for the genre.
Developed by Ubisoft Mainz, Anno 117: Pax Romana is a premiere builder game in which every facet of your city can be controlled; and how players will choose to build and govern will shape their story, their citizens’ destiny, and their provinces’ future. In this immersive and authentic world, where the cost of peace is for players to decide.
Anno 117: Pax Romana will be released in winter of 2025 with cross-play and cross-progression on PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X | S, Amazon Luna as well as Windows PC through Steam, the Epic Games Store and Ubisoft Connect.

Albion Online, the fantasy sandbox MMORPG from Sandbox Interactive, will release the new Abyssal Depths update on June 30, 2025. This update contains a major overhaul of the new player experience, making the game more accessible than ever, and introduces an entirely new PvP feature in the form of a brand-new type of dungeon. Albion Online also has a new Dev Talk video out today featuring an overview of the Abyssal Depths update with Game Director Moritz Bokelmann.
This new kind of PvP-focused dungeon is a fast-paced, high-stakes battleground pitting groups of two or three players against monsters and other player characters in a collapsing environment filled with tactical objectives, all to earn new and unique rewards.
The other main focus of the update lies in how Albion Online introduces itself to new players. One of the key changes is the integration of the post-tutorial experience into the existing Albion Journal, which now provides a much clearer and more structured guide through the early stages of the game.
Additionally, Abyssal Depths will bring UI improvements like a streamlined HUD Tracker, with additional interactive tutorial features alongside a number of quality-of-life changes to the early game flow to better reflect the Albion Online experience, especially around crafting, the Destiny Board, and the use of buildings.

MAVRIX, the high-adrenaline open world mountain biking game, has just dropped its first official trailer, giving fans an exciting first look at the most authentic mountain biking game yet. Designed by Red Bull athlete Matt Jones and developed by Third Kind Games, MAVRIX is the first mountain biking game created by a MTB pro rider, featuring realistic bike physics, dual-stick controls, and a massive handcrafted open world that delivers a creative, technical, fully sendable ride that feels true to the sport.
MAVRIX delivers an authentic and extreme digital mountain biking experience set in a vast open world inspired by the Welsh mountains, where players launch off cliffs, rip through forest trails, and compete in thrilling 50-player mass start races. Combining realistic handling and precise controls with creative freedom, it lets players style tricks, chase clean landings, or simply send it.
Matt Jones’ real-world riding expertise shapes the physics and control system to authentically mirror true mountain biking. Dual-stick controls and independent braking give players complete freedom to express their style while meeting the sport’s technical demands. The game also features live Red Bull event integration, bringing real-world competitions directly into the gameplay, allowing the community to ride alongside the action as it unfolds.
Even before launch, MAVRIX has built a passionate community of over 60,000 followers across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and Discord, drawn by its pro athlete-backed promise of high-adrenaline multiplayer action and authentic riding. Featuring 100 square kilometers of varied terrain with online races, time trials, and technical challenges, MAVRIX offers an exciting playground that blends technical skill with pure fun for adventure sports fans.
When players join MAVRIX, they’re guided through an engaging first-time experience that introduces core controls, gameplay, and trail discovery. The core loop encourages players to find trails and challenges, complete them, earn Moolah, and unlock custom gear. Each trail has its own global leaderboard, with race commentary from Red Bull legend and ex-World Cup winner Rob Warner, the voice featured in the trailer. Completing challenges builds reputation and earns Moolah, the in-game currency used to customise bikes, components, and clothing.
To further the gameplay experience, MAVRIX features a sponsorship system that mirrors a real MTB career. As players complete challenges and grow their reputation, new contracts become available, offering better deals and exclusive items. Public reputation levels also add another social and competitive element to the game. A POV camera mode, toggled with a single button, provides a heightened sense of speed and control, along with multiplayer join codes that let friends ride together on the same server.
“I’m stoked to finally give fans a glimpse of MAVRIX, a game that truly captures the heart and soul of mountain biking,” says Matt Jones, MAVRIX creator and professional mountain biker. “It’s been a lot of hard work to build a game that truly reflects the spirit of mountain biking, and seeing it come to life is incredibly rewarding. I’m really looking forward to players diving in, mastering the controls, and pushing their limits. And this is just the beginning.”
Launching into Early Access this summer on PC via Steam and Epic Games Store MAVRIX invites players to explore, compete, and build their own mountain biking legacy in a game built by riders, for riders.
