Apex Legends Power Trip Starts Today with Nine Chaos Modifiers and Ash's First Prestige Skin

Respawn launched the Apex Legends Power Trip event today, running June 2 through 23.

Ash, Conduit, and Vantage are free to play for the full event duration. Ash receives her first Prestige skin with multiple upgrade tiers, a custom finisher, and a unique dive trail.

PlayStation State of Play Airs Today at 2pm PT with Extended Marvel's Wolverine Gameplay

Sony's PlayStation State of Play streams today, June 2, at 2pm PT on YouTube and Twitch, running for more than 60 minutes. The confirmed headline is an extended look at Insomniac Games' Marvel's Wolverine, focusing on Logan's melee combat and rage mechanics. The game launches September 15, 2026, on PS5, so today's segment is a proper pre-release deep dive rather than a short teaser. Sony has also confirmed reveals from top studios worldwide, which typically means at least one surprise announcement or release date outside the confirmed headline.

AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE Launches Globally at $549 for 1440p Gaming

AMD released the Radeon RX 9070 GRE worldwide on June 1, with board partner cards from Sapphire, ASUS, Gigabyte, and PowerColor shipping from June 2. The card was previously sold only in China. It uses the Navi 48 die (RDNA 4 architecture) with 48 Compute Units, 3,072 Stream Processors, and 12GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus. AMD prices it at $549, the same starting MSRP as the full Radeon RX 9070. The 9070 GRE sits between the RX 9060 XT and RX 9070 in specification, though AMD says its performance lands closer to the full 9070 than the 9060 XT.
