The summary shall NOT include a title, introduction and conclusion. Text: Valve's Steam platform continues to dominate the PC gaming landscape, offering developers a streamlined publishing process that contrasts sharply with the more complex requirements of console platforms. This accessibility has allowed a plethora of unique titles to flourish, many of which may never find their way to consoles like Xbox, PlayStation, or Switch. However, some standout games eventually make the leap, and a recent leak has hinted that The Cabin Factory, a highly regarded horror experience from International Cat Studios and publisher Future Friends Games, is set to join their ranks. Upcoming Console Port Evidence of this port surfaced through a page listing achievements for both Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One versions of The Cabin Factory. This page intriguingly links to an inactive Xbox listing on the Microsoft Store, suggesting that a transition to Microsoft’s consoles is indeed on the horizon. Originally launched on Steam in December of last year, The Cabin Factory has received a "Very Positive" rating, with an impressive 93% of recent reviews and 91% of all reviews applauding its engaging atmosphere and writing. With a total of 2,596 reviews, players have praised the game for its immersive experience, despite its straightforward gameplay mechanics. The game's premise revolves around a series of prefab cabins that have been reported to be haunted. As the Cabin Inspector, players are tasked with investigating these cabins to determine if they are free from supernatural anomalies. The gameplay is simple yet effective: any movement within the cabin indicates a haunting, prompting the player to hit the red "DANGER" button and exit. Conversely, if everything remains still, the green "CLEAR" button can be pressed, even when unsettling sights are encountered. Rather than relying on jump scares, The Cabin Factory leans into psychological horror, drawing inspiration from notable titles such as KOTAKE CREATE's The Exit 8, Tensori's POOLS, and the infamous playable teaser for Silent Hills. As players progress, they unravel a narrative that subtly intertwines with classic fairytale elements, adding depth to the experience. At a price point of just .99, The Cabin Factory is not only a compelling game but also an affordable option, likely mirroring its Steam pricing on Xbox. While the exact release date for the console version remains uncertain, the recent leak suggests that an official announcement may be forthcoming. Additionally, speculation surrounds potential ports to other platforms such as PS5, PS4, and Switch, although nothing has been confirmed yet. Interestingly, it appears that The Cabin Factory will not be available through Xbox Game Pass, as its store page does not mention this popular service. Given its low price, this is not entirely surprising, though there remains a possibility for future inclusion, as Game Pass has historically provided significant exposure for indie titles. For those eager to explore new titles on Xbox, this week also sees the release of Grounded 2, the much-anticipated sequel to Obsidian's original survival game, alongside NINJA GAIDEN: Ragebound, a new action platformer arriving just ahead of the upcoming Ninja Gaiden 4." max_tokens="3500" temperature="0.3" top_p="1.0" best_of="1" presence_penalty="0.1" frequency_penalty="frequency_penalty"].99.

Intel Unison will cease operations on June 30, 2025. The app has been recognized for transforming Android tablets into external displays and allowing users to make calls, send texts, and transfer files from Windows PCs. While some features can be replicated with Microsoft Phone Link, many users prefer Intel Unison for its comprehensive experience. Lenovo Aura platforms will continue to support Intel Unison until the end of 2025. The app requires Windows 11 machines with at least version 22H2 and a minimum of a 12th-generation Intel Core i5 processor, but it is also compatible with non-Intel machines. Certain Intel Evo 13th-generation and later devices came pre-installed with Intel Unison. Users will need to switch to Microsoft Phone Link for connectivity between Android devices and Windows PCs after the discontinuation.

Malware, specifically a new spyware variant called KoSpy, has been linked to a North Korean hacking group known as ScarCruft (APT37). Researchers at Lookout Threat Lab discovered KoSpy concealed within deceptive applications like file managers and security software. Once installed, it can extract sensitive information such as SMS messages, call logs, device location, and access files. It can also record audio and video, capture screenshots, and log keystrokes. The data collected is transmitted to Command and Control servers encrypted with a hardcoded AES key and utilizes Firebase Firestore for configuration data. At least one malicious application associated with KoSpy was found on the Google Play Store, downloaded over ten times, and similar apps were also on third-party app store APKPure. Google has since removed the identified applications and deactivated the related Firebase projects.

GOG has evolved from focusing on classic games to including modern blockbusters and has announced a commitment to enhancing vintage titles for contemporary hardware through the GOG Preservation Program. This program aims to restore older games, focusing on eliminating bugs and integrating modern features, and will award a "Good Old Game" badge to titles that pass the restoration process. Games with this badge will include all downloadable content, expansions, manuals, and offline installers, and will be DRM-free. GOG is relaunching over 100 games with this status, including notable titles like the Resident Evil series, Diablo, System Shock 2, and Fallout. The program aims to eventually include all games, but restoration requires permission from original developers or publishers.
