Table of Contents
1. Spider-Man: Miles Morales
Sony’s new Spider-Man game is an incredible way to reacquaint yourself with one of Marvel Comics’ most beloved characters. As Spider-Miles Morales, you will get to explore New York City as he does — in his own style!
Spider-Man was first introduced back in 1969 when writer Stan Lee and artist Steve Ditko created him for DC Comics before later licensing rights were given over to Marvel. Since then, there have been more than 100 different versions of the wall crawler in both film and comics form.
Morales himself made his debut in 2014 where he took up the mantle left by another young spider hero, Peter Parker. While not every iteration has had great success at capturing Spidey’s essence, making room for this new take seems like a smart move.
If nothing else, it’ll be interesting to see how developers approach creating stories for this fresh perspective. You can also expect some fun gameplay elements never seen before in the genre such as gliding, web swinging, and acrobatic traversal.
2. Astro’s Playroom
If you have ever wanted to teach your child how to be creative, then this game is for you! As seen in the movie Inside Out, the game takes place in an open world where players can explore at their leisure.
Astro’s play room has been overrun with monsters that need to be rescued. It is up to players to use puzzle solving skills to do so. By moving around the area, finding weapons, and interacting with various items, you will find yourself creating new ways to rescue all of the trapped creatures.
There are five different types of puzzles in the game and they each require a different kind of creativity to solve them. This includes matching shapes or patterns, putting together pieces of a puzzle, or thinking outside of the box. The level design in this game is very clever and it will keep children engaged for hours.
This game is perfect for kids who love exploring environments, playing games that challenge logic, and/or creating. There are even some mini-games in the game such as pinball which help make the experience more fun.
3. Sackboy: A Big Adventure
As we mentioned before, Super Smash Bros is known for its large roster of playable characters that include such well-known heroes as Mario, Pikachu, and Bowser. These familiar faces are not only easy to recognize but also to play! As game developers like to say, gamers are always looking for ways to connect with each other. When you add in a few more players, it opens up new conversations and ideas.
Sackboy fits this description perfectly. He can be either controlled by an a**** or even kids who enjoy platform games will have fun playing him. Even though he may seem simple at first, his unique moveset makes him interesting.
He has some cool special abilities that let you do things like glide along the ground or freeze time while jumping. There’s really no limit to what you can do with him!
There is one downside to using Sackboy as a character, however. All of your other fighters must use exact same amount of lives as their opponent does. This could get annoying very quickly if you’re fighting against someone who keeps making unfair assumptions about how many lives they have left.
4. Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart
Sony’s new franchise is an excellent choice for parents looking to expose their children to some great gaming experiences. While it may be geared more towards kids, there are still several reasons why this game should not be overlooked.
Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart features two playable characters that can be switched at any time. As you play through the levels, your character will level up and earn new skills and upgrades. These can range from changing how fast the character runs or adding new weapons to the overall gameplay.
There are also different modes in which to enjoy the game such as Story Mode and Quest Mode. The former has you playing as Captain Qwark while the latter has you taking control of one of the main characters in the series. Both are enjoyable to experience and do not feel repetitive!
Overall, these types of games are designed to appeal to all ages. They are easy to pick up and put down when needed, contain enough content to keep players engaged, and develop strong narrative qualities.
5. Little Devil Inside
Developed by Sony, Little Devils Inside is an action puzzle game that has players rescuing little devils being dragged down to h*** as you play as either one of them or a devil yourself!
The main character is Em, a young girl who teams up with three other spirits to save the world from eternal damnation.
By using their powers together, these heroes are able to unleash special moves which contain combos! They’re also able to explore various areas for help in defeating your current foe.
6. Bugsnax
If you love platform games then BugsNax is definitely a game for you! This puzzle-action game has your child play as either an ant, beetle or grasshopper that must use their wits to traverse each level. There are levels with limited time so there is a need to be quick.
There are also stages where the player can choose what character they want to play as, which adds more depth to the experience. Each stage comes with a theme such as forest, desert or ice and features three characters of your choice.
The music in the game is very well done and fits the mood of the scene beautifully. It gets pretty intense at times too, making for a fun gaming session.
7. Horizon Forbidden West
Horizon is an action-adventure game that was first released in May of 2018 for PlayStation 4. Developed by Bizarre, it has since been ported to both Xbox One and Nintendo Switch with all three versions being rebranded as The Compulsion Group.
This sci-fi adventure features a child protagonist who you control at times during the early stages of the story. You play as Emile Diabolique, a 16 year old high school student whose life gets turned upside down when he finds himself transported into another universe.
Here, he meets other teens his age named Bree, Kori, and Ferus along with some new friends they make while exploring this mysterious world.
8. Gran Turismo 7
While most people associate Sony with powerful consoles, they also make games for all types of audiences. One such audience is kids or so-called “casual” gamers that are not as invested in the game as their more experienced peers.
Gran Turismo is one of the best games at this level because it just really fun to play! It features about 10 main modes like Track Day, Exhibition, Time Trial, Sprint, etc., and you can pick any track anywhere around the world for your race.
There are three different ways to win in GT7; via racing skill, luck, or both. As players progress through the game, new cars will be unlocked for them to use in future races. These could include toys or pro models that cost lots of money!
Overall, Gran Turismo is an excellent choice for parents looking to get their child into gaming but who may feel overwhelmed by harder titles. It is easy to pick up and has many interactive elements like talking to other drivers, exploring the map, and researching vehicles.
9. Marvel’s Avengers
Developed by Crystal Dynamics, Marvel’s Avengers puts players in control of some of the most well-known superheroes from the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe). The game features both solo play as well as co-op with either local or online multiplayer. Players can choose to be anyone they want to within the game including Captain America, Thor, Spiderman and more!
While there are many action games out right now that feature superpowered characters, none of them really feel like an authentic experience due to how generic their gameplay is. With this entry though, things start to get much better!
At its core, Marvel’s Avengers is a third person action adventure game where you take control of different heroes throughout various levels and environments. You shift between these modes at your leisure, just like you would in the movies!
Overall, the game offers quite a bit for everyone to enjoy, even if you don’t know anything about superhero comics or films. There’s still plenty here for people who love super powers and storytelling infused gaming experiences.
10. Balan Wonderworld
This game puts players in control of an elephant as he learns to balance, climb ladders and jump onto trampoline-like surfaces. Players can choose from beginner levels that are very easy or hard, depending on their skill level, and advance through stages by earning coins as they progress.
Balan is a fun way to teach kids about different types of balance, momentum and gravity. It’s also a great way to learn how to manage your emotions and stick up for yourself when needed. Your kid will love exploring all of the levels and features in this app!
This app has been designed with young children in mind, there are no difficult puzzles or games for teens to find frustrating. The only thing parents should be wary of is if your child is struggling at home it may be too challenging here.
Conclusion
Developed by Sony, Little Devil Inside is an action game that has players taking control of a little devil as he wreaks havoc in a children’s hospital. As the title suggests, your goal will be to find and remove all of the “little devils” within the confines of the hospital.
The little demons you encounter are actually patients who have done wrong things such as broken rules or hurt other people. By destroying these misbehaving kids, you earn points and upgrade your little devil character.
By doing so, you’ll be helping him develop his own personal power while also teaching kids about forgiveness.

Tebi, the new startup by Adyen’s departed cofounder, raises a fresh $30M from Alphabet’s CapitalG

Dutch payments firm Adyen now has a market cap of over $61 billion, but that didn’t stop its cofounder Arnout Schuijff from stepping down in 2021 to focus on his new startup, Tebi.
Now an Amsterdam-based fintech startup with 35 employees, Tebi helps restaurants, bars and other hospitality businesses manage their operations with an all-in-one subscription-based platform that can handle payments, reservations, inventory, and more.
This means that Tebi has a wealth of competitors, from POS systems to reservation platforms and analytics-driven solutions for inventory optimization. But it hopes to have an advantage by tying this all together with enterprise-level functionalities and pricing.
To a casual observer, this appears as something that Adyen could have done. But given its focus on enterprise, building a product for SMBs was better done on the outside, Schuijff said. “That was a much more logical step for me than to try and do it within the context of Adyen.”
However, Tebi wasn’t meant to fill a gap left by Adyen. Nor was it meant to find a new role for Schuijff, who had stayed in his CTO role after the 2018 IPO that made him a billionaire, at least on paper. “My move was really a positive one. I didn’t need to go. I was still enjoying my job,” he recalled.
What he was missing, though, was coding; and this impulse to code was how Tebi was born. During Covid lockdown, Schuijff decided to revisit his attempt to make it easier for his favorite bar to handle value-added tax (VAT) and other reporting hassles.
On a tech level, this was similar to the accounting platform he built for Adyen, and before that, for Bibit, which then RBS-owned Worldpay acquired in 2004. But by 2020, Schuijff had more tools at his disposal. Using streaming, he was able to support instant transaction updates — and it grabbed him.
From side project to company
While this isn’t the case in the Netherlands yet, “you see a move towards tax departments requiring hospitality businesses to report instantly when the sale is happening,” Schuijff said. But more generally, he saw the need for less manual reconciliation work. This was also confirmed to him by bar owner Mazdak Nasori, who became one of Tebi’s five cofounders.
Eventually, Schuijff told Adyen CEO Pieter van der Does he would leave to focus on Tebi full-time. But his goal wasn’t to build another Bibit or Adyen, and still isn’t. “It was just that I got so inspired by the coding and by the opportunity to contribute something to society in another way by helping out a lot of local business owners,” Schuijff told TechCrunch.
As Tebi’s CEO, Schuijff’s role doesn’t involve much programming, and the irony isn’t lost on him. “I miss doing the coding, but then I figured out that I could add more value and increase the success chances of Tebi by actually doing what a CEO is supposed to be doing, which is building the team and many other aspects, helping with the strategy and all these things.”
One of these things is sales. When he goes out to eat or have a drink, Schuijff can’t help talking to owners about their pain points, checking what they are using, and introducing Tebi. “I consider I am doing them a favor, almost,” he laughed.

Still, joining forces with former Adyen EVP Technology Rob Vonk as Tebi’s CTO made for a tech-heavy team that needed balancing, Schuijff said. So he also hired Aki Tas as COO, who was formerly head of business strategy and operations at Notion, and recruited Patrick Studeneer, as CCO, formerly COO at Wolt. “Now we managed to level out the boat and start focusing much more on the commercial side and the expansion side.”
Means for expansion
After using a hyperlocal deployment approach Tebi is now available across the Netherlands, where it says merchants are already processing nine figures of payments annually on the platform. With open roles in Amsterdam and London and plans to double its headcount by the end of the year, its next step is to start serving the U.K. market, followed by “many countries in the coming years,” Schuijff said.
This rollout will be supported by funding. Eight months after raising a €20 million Series A led by Index Ventures (approximately $22 million), Tebi has now closed a €30 million investment (approximately $34 million.) Led by CapitalG, Google parent Alphabet’s growth fund, with participation from Index, it brings its total funding to €56 million (about $64 million).
Although San Francisco-based, CapitalG partner Alex Nichols is a really-thesis driven investor who also has Europe on his radar. He recently led a deal into Belgian startup Odoo, which joined a portfolio that already includes Monzo and Pennylane. He sought out Tebi after observing that European SMBs are underserved by costly, bank-dominated payment solutions.
“This setup closely resembles the U.S. market 15 years ago before the rise of software-embedded payments reduced bank share to less than 30%” he told TechCrunch in a written comment.
That Nichols had done his research was what ultimately won CapitalG the deal, in addition to all the “touch points” between Tebi and Alphabet properties such as Android, Gemini, Google Cloud and Google Maps. “We were not looking for an investment, but we thought, yeah, this is they’re bringing much more than just money,” Schuijff said.
The money in question will fund more than Tebi’s international expansion. It will also let it add more AI features, in addition to what it already implemented for onboarding to automatically pull menu, visual identity and reservation settings. “The future vision,” Schuijff said, is that on top of its all-in-one platform, there will be “an AI platform that will help you run your business better.”
Building this vision and expanding across Europe will take Tebi’s bandwidth for a while. But after that, and “as soon as we are confident that we can grab a significant part of the market there,” a U.S. expansion is in the cards.

Still no AI-powered, ‘more personalized’ Siri from Apple at WWDC 25

At this year’s Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC 25), Apple announced a slew of updates to its operating systems, services, and software, including a new look it dubbed “Liquid Glass” and a rebranded naming convention. Apple was notably quiet on one highly anticipated product: a more personalized, AI-powered Siri, which it first introduced at last year’s conference.
Apple’s SVP of Software Engineering, Craig Federighi, only gave the Siri update a brief mention during the keynote address, saying, “As we’ve shared, we’re continuing our work to deliver the features that make Siri even more personal. This work needed more time to reach our high-quality bar, and we look forward to sharing more about it in the coming year.”
The time frame of “coming year” seems to indicate that Apple won’t have news before 2026. That’s a significant delay in the AI era, where new models, updates, and upgrades ship at a rapid pace.
First announced at WWDC 24, the more personalized Siri is expected to bring artificial intelligence updates to the beleaguered virtual assistant built into iPhone and other Apple devices. At the time, the company hyped it as the “next big step for Apple” and said Siri would be able to understand your “personal context,” like your relationships, communications, routine, and more.
Plus, the assistant was going to be more useful by allowing you to take action within and across your apps.
While Bloomberg reported that the in-development version of the more personalized Siri was functional, it was not consistently working properly. The report said its quality issues meant Siri only performed as it should two-thirds of the time, making it not viable to ship.
Apple officially announced in March it was pushing back the launch, saying the Siri update would take longer to deliver than anticipated. The company also pulled SVP of Machine Learning and AI Strategy John Giannandrea off the Siri project and put Mike Rockwell, who had worked on the Vision Pro, in charge.
The shake-up indicated the company was trying to get back on track after stumbling on a major release. It also suggested Apple’s AI technology was behind that of rivals, like OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic, worrying investors.
In the meantime, Apple partnered with OpenAI to help close the gap; when users asked Siri questions the assistant couldn’t answer, those could be directed to ChatGPT instead. With the upcoming release, iOS 26, Apple has updated its AI image generation app, Image Playground, to use ChatGPT as well.
At this year’s WWDC, the company continued to make other AI promises, including developer access to the on-device foundation models, live translation, upgrades to Genmoji (in addition to aforementioned Image Playground), Visual Intelligence improvements, an AI “Workout Buddy” for Apple Watch, AI in Xcode, and the introduction of an updated, AI-powered version of its Shortcuts app for scripting and automation.

Meta reportedly in talks to invest billions of dollars in Scale AI

Meta is discussing a multi-billion dollar investment in Scale AI, according to Bloomberg. In fact, the deal value could reportedly exceed $10 billion, making it the largest external AI investment by Facebook’s parent company and one of the largest funding events ever for a private company.
Scale AI (whose CEO Alexandr Wang is pictured above) provides data labeling services to companies such as Microsoft and OpenAI to help them train their AI models. Much of that labeling work is done by contractors — in fact, the Department of Labor recently dropped its investigation into whether the company was misclassifying and underpaying employees.
According to Bloomberg, the company saw $870 million in revenue last year and expects to bring in $2 billion this year.
Meta was already an investor in Scale AI’s $1 billion Series F, which valued the company at $13.8 billion. Scale AI also built Defense Llama, a large language model designed for military use, on top of Meta’s Llama 3.
