Needles across the world of gaming headsets are moving today as Sennheiser unveiled two brand new offerings to the segment, the G4ME ZERO and G4ME ONE. The new PC and Mac-compatible headsets are packed full of Sennheiser magic, and claim to offer supreme comfort and superior audio performance to help keep you deep in the action for hours on end. Let’s take a quick look at each of them below to see what Sennheiser has in store.

The G4ME ZERO ($280)

The G4ME ZERO (pictured above) is a closed headset design that packs a bevy of features to create a gaming experience that promises to be as comfortable as it is immersive. The headset’s custom made aluminum earcups borrow from Sennheiser’s aviation ‘phones, boasting dual layered XXL memory foam earpads cloaked in leatherette for a tight, form-fitting seal to keep the game sound in and the real world out. The transducers inside pack Sennheiser’s “Ergonomic Acoustic Refinement” technology, designed to channel the signal straight to your eardrums with a massive frequency range of 10Hz-26kHz.

Other features for the G4ME ZERO include a noise canceling microphone which mutes when raised, onboard volume control, and a collapsible design to allow easy travel to your next gaming event. The headset also comes with a PCV 05 Audio Combo adapter for Mac, and a travel case.

The G4ME ONE ($250)

The G4ME ONE features an open-ear design to keep air flowing in the heat of battle, and promises an accurate, natural aural experience. Like its companion, the headset boasts Sennheiser’s “Ergonomic Acoustic Refinement” tech, as well as a noise canceling microphone with muting function, onboard volume control, and dual layered XXL memory foam pads.

Adding a softer touch, the G4ME ONE’s earpads rock velvet skins instead of leatherette. The frequency range of the drivers extends from 17Hz up into the rafters to 28kHZ, and the headset also comes with a PCV 05 adapter for Mac.

While we haven’t had a chance to sit down and get our game on with Sennheiser’s newest toys yet, past experience and the Sennheiser name tells us the company’s latest progeny will likely deliver. You can get your hands on the new G4ME ZERO and G4ME ONE now.

In a company interview with CEO Yves Guillemot posted on the Ubisoft website Thursday, the executive reveals that there are remakes of Assassin's Creed games in the works, although he doesn't specify which ones.

"Players can be excited about some remakes, which will allow us to revisit some of the games we've created in the past and modernize them," he says, implying that it could pertain to games made before Odyssey. "There are worlds in some of our older Assassin's Creed games that are still extremely rich."

Surfaced patent shows what an Xbox streaming console would’ve looked like

An Xbox Series X sits next to both Series S models.

There have been a few Xbox devices that have never come to fruition, one of which was Keystone, a prototype for an affordable game streaming device you could hook up to your TV or monitor. Thanks to a surfaced patent, we've gotten an even closer look at what it would've potentially looked like.

The patent, first spotted by Windows Central, gives us a more complete view of the device. We've previously seen the Keystone in the flesh. Microsoft Gaming head Phil Spencer is known for hiding teases and interesting collectibles on the shelf in his office. In a 2022 X (formerly Twitter) post congratulating Bethesda on Fallout's 25th anniversary, you can see a small white device on the top shelf that's actually a Keystone prototype. Xbox told Digital Trends that it was a version of the device made before it decided to "refocus our efforts on a new approach.”
