Windows Wrap: Surface is raising prices while lowering ambition

Microsoft has raised prices for its current generation of Surface devices, causing concerns about the market viability of the upcoming Surface Pro 12 and Surface Laptop 8. The company is facing an identity crisis while refining Windows 11, with some suggesting a transition to Windows 12. The price increases come at a time when Surface is struggling to compete with Apple's MacBook Neo in the budget segment. The upcoming Surface models may lack powerful chips from Intel and Qualcomm, which could hinder their appeal. In the meantime, alternatives like the ASUS Zenbook A16 and HP OmniBook X Flip 2-in-1 are being highlighted for consumers seeking options.

Last Flag, the debut game from the studio founded by Imagine Dragons’ lead singer, becomes the latest multiplayer shooter struggling to find an audience

In 2026, attracting players to new multiplayer shooters has proven to be a significant challenge. Highguard experienced a decline in player engagement, fading from the scene within three months. Marathon, despite its high budget of 0 million, is struggling to justify its costs. Last Flag, a 5v5 multiplayer shooter developed by Night Street Games and co-founded by members of Imagine Dragons, launched on April 14 to a peak of fewer than 600 concurrent players, which has since dropped to just under 400. Despite a competitive price and a marketing push, the game has faced criticism for having bot-filled matches and a visual style reminiscent of Fortnite. Night Street Games is focused on building a sustainable community and is currently offering a free weekend on Steam to attract players. Mac Reynolds highlighted the difficulties of fundraising in 2026, indicating challenges for studios in maintaining operational viability.
