The glass and liquid refract the scenery behind them, air moves when a bottle is shaken or tilted, and carbonated drinks form bubbles. The mod takes its cues from Half-Life: Alyx, but Fallout 4 VR is unsupported.

The Nintendo-licensed microSD Express Card 256GB for Nintendo Switch 2, sold by SanDisk and Samsung, has been quietly raised in price at the Nintendo Store and other retailers. The cards, previously priced at 6,980 yen including tax, now sell for 8,980 yen, a 2,000 yen increase. The price revision was applied on August 17 or 18, depending on the source, and no official announcement from Nintendo or the manufacturers has been confirmed. The Nintendo Switch 2 only supports microSD Express cards, a new standard with faster read and write speeds, and standard microSD cards from the original Switch are not compatible. As of the time of writing, the SanDisk version is out of stock at the Nintendo Store, while the Samsung version remains available. This follows a May price increase for the Nintendo Switch 2 console itself, which rose from 49,980 yen to 59,980 yen. Sources attribute the rise to semiconductor and memory shortages, as well as global inflation.

Xbox CEO Asha Sharma said on August 12 that she watched a live playthrough of The Elder Scrolls VI during a visit to Bethesda Game Studios. In a post on X, Sharma praised the game's scale and grandeur as "incredible" and said the story is "even greater," while keeping the subtitle hidden behind eight asterisks. Bethesda Game Studios replied to her post, thanking her for the visit and kind words. The post suggests the game's subtitle is eight English letters long, prompting speculation among fans on forums like Reddit about what the title could be, with some guessing it might be "High Rock," a region in the Elder Scrolls world. The Elder Scrolls VI was announced in 2018 with a teaser trailer, and no further details have been released since. In June 2026, Xbox Chief Content Officer Matt Booty said in an interview that he saw the game running next to director Todd Howard and praised its quality. Sharma's visit and comments indicate the game has progressed to a stage where it can be shown to executives, though no release date or concrete details have been announced.
