If streaming services’ year-in-review campaigns have shown us anything, it’s that we’ve spent a staggering amount of time drowning out the hum of everyday life with music, podcasts and audio series. And with some incredible new releases this year, we were really eatin’ good. Here are some of the Engadget team’s favorite things we listened to in 2025.Spiritbox – Tsunami SeaI became aware of Spiritbox in late 2024 shortly before the band dropped its latest album, Tsunami Sea. At the time, I was in a deep Sleep Token phase, and I don’t remember how I stumbled upon Spiritbox, but I’m…

Bungie’s Marathon was recently re-revealed ahead of a March 2026 release window and in addition to a number of new gameplay changes, the extraction shooter also looks surprisingly different from how it did during its 2025 alpha test. Whether that visual overhaul is good or not depends on who you ask. The glow-up has some fans more hyped than ever for the next multiplayer shooter from the makers of Halo and Destiny, but not everyone’s on board. While the studio recently released new gameplay footage as part of a recent vidoc previewing the work that’s gone into the game since it…

Two young spinosaurids hunt a juvenile Phuwiangosaurus in Cretaceous Thailand. A large adult spinosaurid (not the newly unveiled Sam Ran spinosaurid) rests in the background beside a body of water, while two feathered Kinnareemimus are depicted by the trees on the right. (Image credit: Kmonvich Lawan)Around 125 million years ago, a dinosaur longer than a pickup truck stalked rivers to gobble up fish in what is now Thailand.The remains of the roughly 25-foot-long (7 to 8 meters) dinosaur, which include parts of its spine, pelvis and tail, represent one of the most complete spinosaurid specimens ever found in Asia, according…

When we put together our top 20 games of last year, we specifically called out Civilization 7, Avowed, Doom: The Dark Ages, and Grand Theft Auto 6 as big franchise games we were already looking forward to for 2025. While one of those games has been delayed into 2026, the three others made this year’s list of Ars’ favorite games as expected. They join a handful of other highly anticipated sequels, ranging from big-budget blockbusters to long-gestating indies, on the “expected” side of this year’s list. But the games that really stood out for me in 2025 were the ones…

A new year is almost here, which means more comically large new Lego sets to taunt our wallets. The latest leaked set is for Minas Tirith from The Lord of the Rings and its rumored to cost over $600. I’m looking forward to adding the Star Trek Enterprise to it and rounding up my irresponsible purchases for the year to $1,000. According to Brick Tap, Lego will release the new Lord of the Rings set on June 1, 2026. It’ll be priced between $600 and $650 and be a whopping 8,278 pieces. From the front, at least, it will seemingly…

LG has revealed a new lineup of gaming monitors just ahead of CES. The UltraGear evo displays offer 5K visuals. Many incorporate on-device AI upscaling, taking some of the burden away from the GPU.LG says the tech will let consumers skip out on some card upgrades. This could end up being extremely beneficial because the AI boom has .LGThere are three displays in the lineup so far, with more to come down the line. There’s a 39-inch OLED (39GX950B) that includes the aforementioned AI upscaling to 5K, but also algorithms for scene optimization and sound. The company says this will…

Scientists have developed a new technique that doubles the amount of hydrogen produced when splitting water molecules with electricity. The method works by adding a simple organic molecule and a modified catalyst to the reactor.The adapted method lowers energy costs by up to 40% and may offer a “promising pathway for efficient and scalable hydrogen production,” the researchers said in a new study published Dec. 1 in the Chemical Engineering Journal.”Hydrogen is one of the most in demand chemicals,” study co-author Hamed Heidarpour, a doctoral student at McGill University in Montreal, Canada, told Live Science. Hydrogen is used for ammonia…

Gamwell sees echoes of Mitchell’s dark stars, for instance, in Edgar Allan Poe’s short story, “A Descent Into the Maelstrom,” particularly the evocative 1919 illustration by Harry Clarke. “This seemed to have been an early analogy to a black hole for many people when the concept was first proposed,” said Gamwell. “It’s a mathematical construct at that point and it’s very difficult to imagine a mathematical construct. Poe actually envisioned a dark star [elsewhere in his writings].” The featured art spans nearly every medium: charcoal sketches, pen-and-ink drawings, oil or acrylic paintings, murals, sculptures, traditional and digital photography, and immersive…

A Google support page in Hindi says the ability to change your Gmail address is on the way. The feature would allow you to replace your current @gmail.com address with another. Your old address would remain active as an alias on the account, and all your data would stick around, unaffected.The support page (translated) says that “the ability to change your Google Account email address is gradually rolling out to all users.” The change was first spotted on a Google Pixel forum on Telegram and was first reported in the press by 9to5Google.Google hasn’t made a formal announcement about the…

An interview from earlier this year featuring Level-5 CEO and president Akihiro Hino talking positively about AI and claiming the tech is writing 80 percent or more of the studio’s code these days recently went viral online. And now Hino has responded, denying that the studio behind the Professor Layton and Ni no Kuni games has fully shifted to AI programming, but also defending generative AI and claiming it will lead to “greater growth” in the industry. On December 26, Hino posted a lengthy response to the online “commotion surrounding AI” and the spreading of a past interview on social…
