Armored Core 6's multiplayer has six-player arena battles

It looks like FromSoftware's latest game, Armored Core 6, will feature competitive multiplayer according to the Japanese box.

The upcoming mech combat title, releasing on August 25 for PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC, is to feature player-versus-player battles much like previous titles in the series. However, FromSoftware looks like its taking things up a notch with its latest entry.

According to images showing the back of Armored Core 6's Japanese physical release (posted to the r/armoredcore subreddit), the game has support for up to six players online. Though it's worth noting that FromSoftware has yet to reveal any in-depth details about the game's online suite, so we don't know whether this will be two teams of three, a free-for-all format, or potentially both.

Additionally, the physical box (translated by GamesRadar) also states that PvP matches also support up to three spectators, for what seems to be a maximum of nine player lobbies. Series fans are pretty excited about the prospect on Twitter, seeing the potential for matches to be spectated and broadcast on streaming platforms.

With any luck, Armored Core 6's multiplayer will be reminiscent of Elden Ring's Colosseum update, which added a bespoke PvP suite to FromSoftware's brutally tough action RPG. This mode, however, supported up to 12 players online, though it's likely the team opted for fewer in Armored Core 6 for game balance and performance reasons.

We're only a month away from Armored Core 6's release, so it's not a stretch to expect more concrete details on the game and its multiplayer modes soon. Bandai Namco's YouTube channel released an all-new story trailer over the weekend, and we doubt it'll be the only one between now and launch day.

Over in hardware news, beloved Gamecube and Wii emulator Dolphin backs off of its Steam release following pressure from Valve and Nintendo. Also, here's why Capcom is cracking down on certain controllers at professional Street Fighter 6 tournaments.

The latest Apple TV 4K test lets you watch four sports streams at once

Apple is trying something new with the latest beta version of tvOS 16.5: the option to watch up to four simultaneous streams at once. Right now it's limited to live sports streamed through the Apple TV app on the Apple TV 4K , specifically MLB Friday Night Baseball and the MLS Season Pass. A multi-view option was spotted in the tvOS software last month, but the code was hidden and not enabled. MacRumors reported that the feature would be enabled this weekend, and beta testers have since been able to use it. As yet multi-view hasn't been officially announced by Apple, but it's expected that tvOS 16.5 is going to be pushed out in its final form within the next month or so. WWDC 2023 is around the corner as well, when we should be hearing about the next major updates for Apple's various operating systems – including tvOS 17. How it works Over at 9to5Mac there's a hands-on demonstrating how the multi-view feature works, and it's pretty much as you would expe...

Garmin's new radar-equipped tail light will keep you safe on your e-bike

Garmin's Varia bike radars are some of the most popular pieces of cycling tech around – and now the company has delivered its first rearview radar to have been specially designed for some of the best e-Bikes .   Garmin's Varia range mounts to the back of your bike and broadcasts a radar signal behind you, so you can get visual and audible alerts when something's overtaking you. Even better, the new Varia eRTL615 plugs directly into most e-bikes, with no battery required. Because the catchily-named Varia eRTL615 is also a tail light, it'll also make sure you're visible to other vehicles too, promising to emit a flashing or solid light that's visible from up to a mile away in daylight. To connect Garmin's new radar tail light to your e-bike, you'll need to pick the right Garmin adapter cable (which isn't included). You can buy power cables compatible with Bosch, Shimano, or USB-A terminals or connections, with more info on those available on Garmin...
