Zelda Breath of the Wild demo showcases the power of the Nintendo Switch 2 | Gaming | Entertainment

A new report has shed some light on the rumoured Nintendo Switch 2 reveal at Gamescom. As previously reported, Nintendo is believed to have shown off the upcoming console to development partners at the gaming event in Germany. Needless to say, this has led to speculation that the Nintendo Switch 2 will be unveiled very shortly – perhaps during the traditional September Direct conference that’s rumoured to take place soon.
A new report by Eurogamer backs up the previous rumour that the Nintendo Switch 2 made an appearance at Gamescom.
Furthermore, it’s believed that Nintendo demonstrated the power of the new device by showing a “souped up” version of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
Little else is known about the demonstration, and there’s no suggestion that Breath of the Wild is actually in development for the Switch 2.
Of course, if the Switch 2 is backwards compatible, there’s a chance we could get an upgraded version of the hugely popular Nintendo Switch launch title.
If the game is ported to the Switch 2, fans will be hoping for a 60 FPS frame-rate, improved draw distances, superior textures and more enemies on screen.
It certainly sounds like the Switch 2 could handle it.
A report by Chinese site MoneyDJ claimed that a company called Hongzhun is manufacturing metal cases for a Nintendo Switch successor.
The reports have since been backed up by Microsoft court documents, which speculate that the Nintendo Switch 2 will have a 2024 release date.
The console will reportedly cost $399 at launch, which is $100 more than the price of the original Switch when it released in 2017.
The Nintendo Switch 2 will also have an LCD display, instead of a superior OLED screen. The decision to use an LCD screen is seen as a cost-cutting measure for Nintendo.

PS Plus Extra games for May 2025 – Borderlands, NBA and EA FC 25 lead predictions | Gaming | Entertainment

PS Plus Extra and Premium subscribers are just days away from finding out which new games will be joining the service for the month of May.
The next wave of PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium games will be officially revealed by Sony on the afternoon of May 14. The PS4 and PS5 games will be available to download and play on May 20.
As we close in on the big reveal, some fans have been attempting to predict the line-up before Sony’s announcement.
In the monthly predictions thread over on Reddit, multiple fans believe a Borderlands game could join PS Plus Extra.
With Borderlands 4 launching in September, fans speculate that publisher 2K may add a previous Borderlands game to help get players up to speed.
There are picks for Borderlands 3, as well as New Tales from the Borderlands and Borderlands Game of the Year Enhanced. With Sony recently holding a Borderlands 4 State of Play event, the relationship between Sony and 2K appears to be strong.
Another game with multiple picks is EA FC 25. The timing certainly makes sense, especially with the Premier League season coming to an end in May and sales starting to decline. If it doesn’t join PS Plus Extra in May, then don’t be surprised if it comes to PS Plus Essentials in June.
Other sports games are also tipped to appear in May, including NBA 2K25 which has multiple predictions and NHL 25 with just one pick.
Elsewhere, fans continue to predict Atomic Heart will join PS Plus Extra, alongside Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, Until Dawn Remastered and Cuphead.
With the TV series in full swing, The Last of Us Part 2 has a few picks, as well as fellow first-party games such as LEGO Horizon, Horizon Forbidden West and Gran Turismo 7.
Other picks include Little Nightmares, Assassin’s Creed Mirage, Lords of the Fallen, Resident Evil Village, Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden, Pacific Drive, GTA 5, Darkest Dungeon 2, Octopath Traveller, V Rising, One Piece, The Crew Motorsport, Spyro Trilogy, Story of Seasons A Wonderful Life, South Park Snow Day and The Quarry.
That’s on top of Jusant, Indika, Sonic Superstars, Hitman, F1 Manager, Monster Hunter Stories, Scorn, Alone in the Dark, Still Wakes the Deep, Lies of P and Sekiro.
Some of the more unlikely predictions include Elden Ring, Final Fantasy 16, Star Wars Outlaws, Alan Wake 2 and Astro Bot.
