Our World of Warcraft Forever hype is dampened by $30 elves: New Skyborne race locked behind expansion-tier purchase

World of Warcraft: Forever will include a significant portion of content with a standard WoW subscription, but the new Skyborne Elf race and its starter zone will cost an additional .99 through the Skyborne Hero Pack. This pack includes the elf race, a mount, cosmetics, housing decorations, and early name reservation. The pricing strategy aligns with industry standards, but some community members find it steep compared to other games. Historically, expansion packs have been priced around .99, while the most recent WoW expansion was priced at .99. Future classes in Forever may adopt a similar monetization strategy, which raises concerns among long-time fans about diverging from classic WoW principles.

NVIDIA CUDA 13.4 Adds Windows on Arm Support [2026]

NVIDIA released CUDA Toolkit 13.4 on September 9, 2026, introducing native CUDA support for Windows on Arm. This update allows developers to compile and run CUDA applications on Windows Arm64 systems, closing a gap that existed since CUDA's inception in 2007. The toolkit offers two workflows: native compilation on Windows Arm64 machines and cross-compilation from x86-64 systems. Developers must install an R616-series Developer Driver to utilize the new features. The release aligns with the upcoming launch of NVIDIA's RTX Spark laptops, built on the N1X Arm platform. The toolkit is designed for RTX Spark devices, which leverage NVIDIA’s Blackwell GPU architecture. Current Windows on Arm devices can also begin using the toolkit in preparation for the hardware launch. The initial feature set for Windows Arm64 is narrower compared to x86-64, but developers are encouraged to adapt their applications for the new environment.

At BlizzCon 2026, it was announced that Diablo 5 will be set a century after Diablo 4, exploring the aftermath of the demon's impact on Sanctuary. The game is projected for release in spring 2029 and aims to address player feedback from Diablo 4.

Key features include procedurally-generated dungeons, a caravan of NPCs instead of traditional towns, returning classes like the demon hunter and monk, and new classes such as the plague knight. The game will launch with more classes than any previous installment, and items will have a tiered system and occupy multiple inventory slots.

Android Users Can Now Share Their Passkeys In Just A Few Steps

Ditching passwords for passkeys has become a more secure option, but these keys are often tied to a single device, posing challenges for cross-platform usage. Google has improved the process for Android users to share and transfer passkeys, allowing easier transitions between password management tools like 1Password and Bitwarden. Previously, transferring passkeys required creating new keys, but now users can move both passwords and passkeys through a secure mechanism within Android. This feature supports popular tools such as 1Password, Bitwarden, Google Password Manager, and Dashlane. Users can transfer passkeys to preferred mobile password managers, facilitating access across multiple devices. The transfer feature is valuable for migrating passkeys between applications, enhancing user experience and security as more individuals adopt passkeys.
