If raising console prices wasn't enough to scare you away, Microsoft has also increased the price of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate by 50 percent. That makes the subscription cost $30 per month when it used to be $20. Even if it comes with more games and the benefits of a Fortnite Crew subscription, you wouldn't be wrong for wanting to cancel. Cancelling means you'll also lose ability to play online... Read more ›

Mars isn't our only neighbor that may harbor life. The odds have risen that Saturn's moon Enceladus may, too. On Wednesday, scientists published a paper outlining the increasing complexity of molecules emitted from beneath the moon's surface. "We now have all elements required for Enceladus to harbour life," the ESA's Dr Jörn Helbert told The Guardian. Enceladus gives researchers a unique window into its subsurface world. The Cassini mission already... Read more ›

This October Prime Day,... Read more ›
