ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) just announced a new special edition series of Electro Punk gaming devices that are stunning and they’re decked out in black and pink. From their pink, PNK LTD, line-up to this cyberpunk black and pink combo, ROG has kept releasing eye-catching color palettes to make sure you find the right gear to show off your personalities with.

Hit you with that…

Black and pink: let’s talk color; not the four drop-dead gorgeous girls that first came to mind with this new color combo.

ROG has long integrated Aura Sync into their devices so you can make their devices puke whatever color you liked or felt like. But, not even RGB lighting quite fills the void just as much for some people so, they developed color palettes.

The full Electro Punk set

The Electro Punk color set is available on the: ROG Strix G15 gaming laptop, ROG Strix Go 2.4 headset, ROG Strix Scope TKL keyboard, ROG Strix Impact II mouse, ROG Sheath mouse pad, and the ROG Ranger BP1503 backpack.

The 15-inch ROG Strix G15 sticks to gaming fundamentals to master it. It’s got the latest 10th Gen Intel Core i7 that can shred through everyday work and play; an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060, and 240 Hz display. It’s perfect for buttery-smooth gameplay while maintaining laptop portability, storage, and durability. If you’re looking for a good baseline gaming laptop this is for you.

The Electro Punk edition lays out a sleek stripe around the chassis, highlighted WASD keys, and a pink ROG logo as icing on the cake.

ROG Strix Go 2.4 Electro Punk gaming headset

The ROG Strix Go 2.4 Electro Punk is a USB-C 2.4 GHz wireless headset. It gives you exceptional sound quality with a stable cordless connection to your PC, PlayStation, Xbox, smart devices, and Nintendo Switch. On top of that, it charges fast, has long-lasting battery life, comes with a detachable boom mic, and has built-in buttons for quick and easy volume and mic controls.

The Electro Punk variant has piping hot pink accents in and around the headband, ear pads, and the ROG logo. The rest stays sleek black.

Gamers can punch in complex commands with confidence with Cherry MX switches. And, with its durable, aluminium-topped construction and compact size, it’s the perfect keyboard for travelling to LANs, tournaments, and other esports events.

The programmable buttons above the thumb-rest pop out against the body of the new ROG Strix Impact II Electro Punk gaming mouse. and of course, the Aura Sync-enabled RGB lighting is integrated into the logo, scroll wheel, and front making it shine in theme from top to tail.

The UltraGear evo line includes 5K-and-above resolution gaming displays in OLED, MiniLED, and ultra-wide formats. They are designed to deliver high definition, speed, and immersive gameplay.

To make things work, LG developed the world’s first 5K AI Upscaling technology. This on-device AI solution enhances content in real time without requiring GPU upgrades.

PlayStation 6 reportedly delayed to 2029 because of RAM shortage

The Switch 2 might also get a price hike this year.

The current console generation is arguably a tepid one, especially compared to preceding generations. Though the PlayStation 5 certainly has its certified hits, it’s difficult to classify the home console as a quintessential piece of hardware that everyone must own. All eyes are now on what comes next, the PlayStation 6. However, because of an ongoing RAM shortage, those curious eyes might have to wait a little bit longer.

As you probably know, an ongoing RAM shortage is currently terrorizing the entire tech world. Upcoming devices are getting delayed, and currently available ones are expecting a price increase sometime this year. The unannounced PlayStation 6 is reportedly part of the first group.

According to Bloomberg, the shortage has pushed the projected release of the next console to 2028 or 2029. The delay is apparently disruptive to Sony’s plans.

There aren’t a lot of rumors swirling around the PlayStation 6 yet. However, the absence of news, coupled with anticipated titles like the remake of the God of War trilogy far off into the future, hints that PlayStation is waiting for the right time.

On the other hand, the same report claims that the Nintendo Switch 2 is part of the second group of RAM shortage victims. That is, Nintendo is reportedly considering a price hike for the currently available console this year.

To be clear, neither Nintendo nor Sony have confirmed anything happening to their respective consoles, current or otherwise. However, the shortage is a very real thing. Even if its effects aren’t readily felt now, it’s still expected to spread throughout the industry in the medium term.

Star Wars: Galactic Racer made a fresh appearance at Sony’s State of Play, revealing new gameplay ahead of its 2026 launch.

The new trailer highlights high-speed races across both new and familiar planets from the Star Wars galaxy. It also confirms the return of podracing, the franchise’s most iconic motorsport, alongside a wider range of repulsorcraft built for different racing styles.

Players step into the role of Shade, a lone pilot drawn into the Galactic League. The league operates outside the law in the Outer Rim and is currently controlled by Kestar Bool, a powerful and corrupt figure. With his league on the brink of collapse, organizer Darius Pax turns to Shade to fight back and reclaim control.

The campaign features a branching structure. Choices affect events, alliances, and access to parts, tools, and upgrades. Players can experiment with landspeeders, skim speeders, speeder bikes, and podracers, then fine-tune each vehicle with the help of mechanic Hibi.

Beyond the story, the game offers multiple modes. Online races support up to 12 players across several competitive formats. Arcade mode focuses on instant action, time trials, and leaderboard runs. Scenarios mode introduces unique challenges, from practice sessions on new tracks to demanding races designed to test mastery and precision.

Star Wars: Galactic Racer launches on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC in 2026.
