Lego Batman: All 10 Batcave Waynetech Cache locations

!(https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/lego-batman-legacy-of-the-dark-knight-batcave-waynetech-cache.jpg?width=690&quality=85&format=jpg&auto=webp) If you want to upgrade Batman and his companions' equipment in Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight(https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/games/lego-batman-legacy-of-the-dark-knight), you'll need to find as many Waynetech Caches as you can. Few are as easy or comfortable to unlock as those in the Batcave. They can be expensive to access, but there's no time limit on finding them; they're all in one place where you're bound to spend a fair bit of time, and many are out in the open. The few that are better hidden are only a tad bit frustrating to find. Read more(https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/lego-batman-all-10-batcave-waynetech-cache-locations)

Asus Reveals ROG Xbox Ally X20 With OLED Screen, Upgraded Joysticks, And Transparent Shell

!Asus ROG Xbox Ally X20 OLED Screen Transparent Shell Bundle 2026 (https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/06/01/b989cd08/asusxboxallyx20.jpg.webp) Asus Republic of Gamers (ROG, lol) has announced(https://rog.asus.com/us/gaming-handhelds/rog-ally/rog-xbox-ally-x20-bundle-2026/) the ROG Xbox Ally X20, a new version of the ROG Xbox Ally X(https://www.gameinformer.com/2025/08/20/xbox-reveals-rog-xbox-ally-x-handheld-release-date-but-not-price-due-to-macro-economic) that launched last year, featuring a larger now-OLED screen, tunneling magnetoresistance joysticks, and a transparent shell. It will still feature the same AMD Ryzen AI Z2 extreme processor that makes last year's ROG Xbox Ally X the handheld powerhouse it is, but this X20 device is likely to cost you a lot more. That's because it will only be available as a bundle alongside the ROG XREAL R1 Edition 20 Gaming AR glasses. There's no confirmed price for this bundle, nor is there a release date yet, but considering those glasses cost roughly $850 on their own, this bundle is likely to easily clear $2000 – here's hoping they de-bundle the X20 device from the glasses one day. Here's a look at the two devices together in the bundle: !Game Informer News(https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/06/01/98ded4f9/rogxboxallyx20bundle3drenderscenariophotorogwallpaperproduct.jpg.webp) This X20 marks the first time Asus has deployed an OLED panel in one of its handheld devices, and it's an exciting upgrade to the portable PC. That said, the new TMR joysticks are a nice improvement, and if you're into the retro-style transparent shells, that's a nice addition too. There are also gold accents built into the device to celebrate 20 years of ROG, and it features a "transforming d-pad" to switch between 4-directional and 8-directional input. The rear of the handgrips will feature a rubberized coating, similar to that found on the Xbox Elite Series controllers. If you aren't familiar with the XREAL glasses, basically, you connect them to your device (the X20 in this case) via a cord, and the handheld's screen is projected into the glasses, giving you a virtual 171-inch screen with a 240Hz display – it's a cool effect and works quite well. Considering Asus' 20th anniversary is this year, it's likely this bundle will be released in 2026, but there's no definitive word on launch price or date. Do you think this is a good upgrade to last year's Xbox ROG Ally X? Let us know in the comments below!

Xbox and PlayStation have a lot to prove

Things are bad out there. Despite 2026 shaping up to be a great year when it comes to actual games, it couldn't really be worse for the people that make them or the industry as a whole. Hardware prices keep going up, layoffs have shown no signs of stopping, and even big-budget titles backed by &8230;

Xbox CEO Says Showing PS5, Switch Logos During Xbox Showcase Is Bad, Actually

Xbox CEO Asha Sharma has said it was a "miss" for Microsoft to re-commit to showing the logos of its competitors during Xbox broadcasts, going on to say the company is now looking at how to "adjust" this for future events. "Seeing the feedback on logos. It was a miss, and I own it. We are talking about how we adjust for future Xbox shows," she wrote(https://x.com/ashashar/status/2060501522556022919?s=46). https://twitter.com/ashashar/status/2060501522556022919?s=46 Sharma said this on the same day that Microsoft published the newest Xbox Podcast(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwYglyND1EA&rco=1) in which Xbox chief content officer Matt Booty doubled down on showing the logos of competitor consoles during the upcoming Xbox Games Showcase on June 7. "Yes. Absolutely. We'll be very clear about what platforms a game is coming to. We want to continue the precedent; I think we have a good system going where we make it clear what platform a game is coming to," he said. In February 2025, Microsoft said it would start showing PlayStation and Nintendo logos during official broadcasts(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/xbox-showcases-will-now-have-playstation-and-nintendo-logos/1100-6529535/) as part of a transparency effort that many fans and industry observers praised. Apart from the Xbox events, it remains commonplace for gaming showcases from platform holders like PlayStation and Nintendo to only show their own logos, even if their games are multiplatform. This was seen as shifty, and many praised Microsoft for changing the tide. Other people did not embrace the change, saying it was important for Microsoft to speak directly to its loyal consumers and show them preference. With Sharma taking over as Xbox CEO, she has promised a "return to our roots"(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/new-xbox-ceo-wants-to-return-to-our-roots/1100-6538373/) and has said Xbox-exclusives could return(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/microsoft-gaming-is-dead-to-be-replaced-by-return-to-xbox-branding-report/1100-6539586/). So when Booty re-committed to the transparency push for the upcoming Xbox Games Showcase, some people were upset, prompting Sharma's response. That very response hasn't gone over entirely smoothly, though, as many are saying she is ultimately doing Xbox a disservice by trying to appease fanboys. The Xbox Games Showcase takes place this coming Sunday, June 7, and it will be immediately followed by a presentation focused exclusively on Gears of War: E-Day.

007 First Light: All Card locations

!(https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/007-first-light-card-locations-header.jpg?width=690&quality=85&format=jpg&auto=webp) If there is any Bond movie that 007 First Light(https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/games/007-first-light) seems to take the most influence from, it's Casino Royale. Daniel Craig's first outing as the iconic spy has its grubby fingerprints all over IO's take on the franchise, whether it's via the in-game wardrobe or the focus on an early-career Bond still workshopping his signature catchphrases and particular drink orders. One of its biggest winks to Casino Royale though is its Card collectibles, with Bond finding unique playing cards scattered throughout the various exotic locales he visits. As a firm believer that Casino Royale is the best Bond film of the lot, I've gone ahead and found every single one of these cards in hopes James can form some sort of summoning circle and resurrect the ancient spirit of Mads Mikkelsen as Le Chiffre. If you want to hold your own seance, here's all of the Card locations in 007 First Light. Read more(https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/007-first-light-all-card-locations)

Minecraft Is Down For Everyone, Not Just You

Mojang's blocky sandbox game is currently inaccessible--a rarity for Minecraft. The last major widespread Minecraft outage was in October 2025, when the global Microsoft Azure cloud disruption affected services, including Minecraft authentication and Xbox Live. Around 12:30 AM PT on June 1, players began to report problems with launching Minecraft via Downdetector(https://downdetector.com/status/minecraft/). Attempting to connect to the game via the Minecraft Launcher shows the message, "Oh no! Something went wrong, and we couldn't connect to the Minecraft services. Please connect to the internet to refresh your offline access." A further error message reads, "We were unable to verify what products you own. Please check your internet connection." https://twitter.com/rsdworker/status/2061382916035256762?s=20 The two messages suggest an issue with the authentication servers, meaning players will be unable to log in or may experience problems in Realms, servers, or multiplayer sessions. This issue is also affecting those opening Minecraft from a third-party launcher, such as Prism or Curseforge. At the time of writing, nothing has been posted from the official Mojang Support(https://x.com/MojangSupport) X account. We'll continue to monitor the problem.

Asus just announced the OLED Xbox Ally X of my dreams

If you asked me what I'd change about the Xbox Ally X handheld - aside from fixing Windows, I mean - I'd tell you two key things. First, give me a bigger, better screen. Even a little bit bigger, so games feel less claustrophobic and with less ugly bezel. Second, get rid of the "Library" &8230;
