They’re eligible for 25 percent off the $3,499 headset, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, meaning the cost for Apple staffers is around $2,600 (though Gurman says that’s before “taxes and options.”)

Gurman also says that executives Mike Rockwell and Alan Dye mentioned surgery and training as potential uses for the Vision Pro in an internal video. I’ve heard similar ideas somewhere else before...

Behaviour Interactive cut around 45 jobs, according to Kotaku. The studio has confirmed that it did layoffs, saying that it let go less than three percent of the company.

Kotaku has been compiling all of the video game layoffs that have already happened this year. Sadly, there have been a lot.

In Super Fruit Ninja, you’ll use your hands to chop up fruit, according to a writeup on Apple’s website. I can see how it might be fun, but I don’t know if it will be $3,499 fun — especially when I can still just play Fruit Ninja on my phone.

Bethesda released a beta version of update 1.9.47.0 on Steam, and it adds “over a hundred fixes and adjustments,” according to a blog post. (Like improved widescreen support, if that’s your jam.)

The update is set to launch broadly “in two weeks,” Bethesda says on X.

The company’s physical version of Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse was “was literally the last game produced on the US 3DS production line, with our cartridge order managing to get to Nintendo at the absolute last possible second,” CEO Josh Fairhurst says on X. The game is Limited Run’s final 3DS release.

People will compete in “supersized arcade games” on the in-development show, according to a description in The Hollywood Reporter. This is a truly cursed idea, but I have to imagine it’s somewhat cashing in on the popularity of the Five Nights at Freddy’s movie.

Let’s just hope the show doesn’t run on floppy disks.

The new filters, which were announced on the @creators Instagram channel, add to the big batch Instagram added in November. Hopefully these recent additions are a sign that Instagram wants to add more filters at a faster clip.

Google is going to let you combine multiple video effects when you’re on a Meet call, as detailed in a blog post. The company is also introducing AI-powered studio lighting and audio quality, but those two features are only available for people using the Duet AI for Google Workspace Enterprise add-on.

One more new feature: Google will let you join Meet calls on mobile without having a Google account.
