Month: July 2026

Capcom says Pragmata has sold more than 2.5 million copies worldwide since it launched in April 2026. That gives the company a real new hit on its hands, and with numbers like that, a sequel feels more and more likely.

The publisher also says Pragmata came in ahead of its own internal expectations. You can already see the effect in Capcom’s latest quarter, where the game helped push net sales up 54.7% year over year; Capcom corporate officer Yoshikazu Shimauchi has gone a step further and said a sequel now looks highly probable.

That’s a pretty dramatic turnaround for a project that went into production in 2019, was first revealed in 2020, and then spent roughly six years mired in delays, tough internal feedback, and real uncertainty over whether it would ever ship at all.

If you’d been waiting to find out whether Capcom could build a new pillar alongside Resident Evil, Monster Hunter, and Street Fighter, Pragmata now looks like it’s worth picking up. A lot of that comes down to its mix of third-person shooting and hacking, plus the strong fan response to Diana, the game’s android co-star.

You can buy Pragmata now following its worldwide release, though Capcom still hasn’t formally announced a sequel.

Now in previews in Stratford-upon-Avon, Game of Thrones: The Mad King is a new stage play built around the Tourney at Harrenhal, in the years before Robert’s Rebellion, and it appears to give official answers to two of the biggest Stark mysteries in Westeros.

Early preview reports say the play confirms that Lyanna Stark was the Knight of the Laughing Tree. They also say it treats Lyanna and Rhaegar Targaryen as a real, mutual romance, not a kidnapping, which lines up with what fans have long argued about Jon Snow’s parentage. Those same reports add two more big implications: Elia Martell may have known about the relationship, and Rhaegar was already planning to take King Aerys II off the throne.

For people who follow the lore closely, that alone makes it tempting. Harrenhal has always sat in a strange place in this story, half-remembered and pieced together from rumors, scattered memories, and other people’s versions of what happened there.

Still, it’s smart to be careful about calling the play hard canon. Duncan Macmillan wrote Game of Thrones: The Mad King. Dominic Cooke directs. HBO is co-producing it with the Royal Shakespeare Company, and George R.R. Martin is on board as an executive producer. Even so, Elio García Jr. has argued that none of that means it should automatically be treated as full book canon. Tickets are available for the Stratford-upon-Avon run, where the first previews were canceled because of technical problems, though later performances reportedly finished with a standing ovation.

Microsoft has confirmed that a Copilot “super app” is on the way later this year. It will bring Microsoft Copilot chat, GitHub Copilot, Cowork collaboration tools, and Autopilots together in one place for work and personal use.

Inside Microsoft, the project is reportedly called “One Copilot.” The goal is to cut down on app switching and make Copilot feel the same whether you’re coding, managing documents, collaborating with colleagues, or using it for personal tasks.

What Microsoft seems to be building is a broader assistant that can search, summarize, write, coordinate, and handle longer, multi-step actions from a single interface. single interface

If you already jump between Microsoft 365 Copilot, GitHub Copilot, the Microsoft Copilot app, and other Microsoft surfaces, this looks like something you’ll want to download when it arrives.

Microsoft says it now has more than 30 million paid Microsoft 365 Copilot seats, weekly Copilot engagement on par with Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Teams, and nearly twice as many conversations per user. That growth comes as rivals like Anthropic’s Claude and OpenAI’s ChatGPT Work push similar all-in-one products.

What you still don’t have is pricing, a full feature list, details on how the standalone apps will coexist, or much clarity for enterprises around identity, licensing, admin controls, data access, and security.

The Microsoft Copilot super app still isn’t available to download, and Microsoft has only said expected later this year.

The Uncanny Counter came back for season 2 on July 29, 2023, under the official title The Uncanny Counter 2: Counter Punch. So if you’ve seen posts saying K-Pop Demon Hunters is “returning tomorrow,” that’s just wires getting crossed.

Netflix Download

Season 2 premiered on July 29, 2023, and wrapped on September 3, 2023. After the first season, which aired in 2020 to 2021, became OCN’s highest-rated original series, the show shifted to tvN for its second run and was trimmed from 16 episodes to 12. Adapted from Jang Yi’s Kakao Webtoon Amazing Rumor, The Uncanny Counter is a found-family action-fantasy drama about a group of Counters who hunt evil spirits after they possess humans. This time, the team goes up against a dangerous trio that has already killed other Counters and taken their powers.

Jo Byeong-kyu, Yoo Jun-sang, Kim Se-jeong, and Yeom Hye-ran all returned. Yoo In-soo joined the cast, while Kang Ki-young, Kim Hieora, and Kim Hyun-wook took on the villain roles. If you liked season 1, this one’s still worth catching up on. It had a gentler start, partly because of past allegations involving Jo Byeong-kyu, which later got messier when an accuser apologized, but the season still finished strong: the finale reached 6.1% according to Nielsen Korea, and the show spent three weeks in Netflix’s non-English Top 10, based on Netflix’s weekly charts. Even so, some viewers felt the writing didn’t land as hard this time, and that the emotional impact wasn’t quite the same. You can watch The Uncanny Counter 2: Counter Punch on tvN in South Korea and on Netflix internationally.

There’s a new Necrons faction trailer out for Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War 4 ahead of the game’s September 17, 2026 PC launch, and it paints them as exactly what you’d want from Necrons: cold, relentless, and very hard to put down. The whole thing leans into durability, self-repair, and reanimation. This doesn’t look like a faction built around speed. It looks like one that keeps coming, wears you out, and turns attrition into a weapon. The Power Matrix also appears to spread Necron territory while restoring tomb structures that generate resources, which points to a slow, inevitable expansion across the map instead of some reckless early rush.

The trailer also confirms Chronomancer Thothmek and Ahmnok, former ruler of Kronus, along with Necron Warriors, Deathmarks, the Monolith, and a C’tan Shard of the Void Dragon. So yes, a lot of the faction’s signature tools are here.

If you like classic RTS factions that win by grinding opponents down, this is one to watch. Early reaction has been strong, mostly because the playstyle comes through right away, and that ominous, seemingly unkillable Warhammer 40K feel is all over the trailer.

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War 4 launches on PC on September 17, 2026. KING Art Games is developing it, Deep Silver is publishing it, and at launch you’ll be able to play Blood Ravens Space Marines, Orks, Adeptus Mechanicus, or Necrons in skirmishes, multiplayer, a 70+ mission solo or co-op campaign, and the returning Last Stand mode.

BeamNG.drive has been in Steam Early Access long enough to feel like a fixture there, but the driving sim just picked up another major update. Version 0.39 is live now for PC on Steam Early Access, bringing a redesigned UI, a new pause menu, and a substantial graphics overhaul.

Steam Download

That matters more here than it would for most games. BeamNG.drive has spent more than a decade in early access, has reportedly sold around 8 million copies, and holds a 97.4% positive user rating on Steam, largely because players keep coming back for its hyper-detailed vehicle physics. So yes, even a menu redesign is a big deal. Version 0.39 goes well beyond that, with cleaner navigation, better gamepad support, and menus that feel built for controller use first, something many players see as groundwork for a rumored PlayStation 5 release.

The visual side got a serious upgrade too. BeamNG.drive 0.39 adds physically based lighting, volumetric clouds, and a physically based night sky, along with HDR support for Vulkan and Direct3D 12. It also brings physically correct light attenuation and more stable shadows, which makes the game look more convincing across different times of day and all kinds of weather.

If you play BeamNG.drive regularly, this is probably an update you’ll want to download. Just know that the response from PC players hasn’t been entirely smooth. Some say the new UI feels less intuitive with a mouse and keyboard and a little too clearly designed around controller navigation. Others, including players with high-end hardware, are reporting lower frame rates.

BeamNG.drive 0.39 is available now on Steam Early Access for PC.

OpenAI has now said it plainly: ChatGPT hardware is on the way, and it won’t be limited to a single gadget. Greg Brockman, OpenAI’s president, didn’t offer names, prices, or release dates, but industry reports are already circling two possible products, a screenless portable speaker and an “agent phone.”

ChatGPT Download

That fits the bigger picture Brockman seems to be sketching out. OpenAI doesn’t look like it’s making a one-off device. It looks like it’s trying to build a broader ChatGPT ecosystem. The Jony Ive connection gives that idea more weight. Ive spent years shaping Apple’s design language, OpenAI is already working with him, and it has also acquired io Products, his firm.

Brockman also made one thing pretty clear: voice sits at the center of this plan. His case was straightforward. Speaking feels more natural than typing. That helps explain why OpenAI’s hardware may lean harder on spoken interaction than on big screens. He even pointed to soundproof office masks as evidence that people may want voice-first computing in shared spaces, which is an odd detail, but a memorable one.

If you follow AI hardware, this is worth watching. Still, there are plenty of caveats hanging over it: Apple’s trade-secret lawsuit, Brockman’s response that OpenAI has no interest in other companies’ secrets, the privacy concerns that come with always-listening devices, OpenAI’s promise of safeguards that are verifiable and auditable, analyst skepticism over whether dedicated ChatGPT gadgets are even necessary, and tougher scrutiny under the European Union’s Digital Services Act.

There’s nothing to download yet, but OpenAI says more than one device is coming soon, and says it’s backing that push with custom chips and a $500 billion Nvidia-supported data-center effort.
