Q&A | The Verge The Verge is about technology and how it makes us feel. Founded in 2011, we offer our audience everything from breaking news to reviews to award-winning features and investigations, on our site, in video, and in podcasts. 2026-09-14T21:28:15+00:00 https://www.theverge.com/rss/q-and-a/index.xml https://platform.theverge.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/01/verge-rss-large_80b47e.png?w=150&h=150&crop=1 Sean Hollister <![CDATA[I reviewed Valve’s Steam Frame, ask me anything]]> https://www.theverge.com/994535/valve-has-ported-half-life-alyx-to-arm-and-its-free-with-steam-frame 2026-09-14T17:28:15-04:00 2026-09-14T13:00:00-04:00

Hey! I'm Sean Hollister, you might have seen me around this place a few times, and I just spent three weeks beta-testing the Steam Frame, Valve's hotly anticipated new don't-call-it-a-VR-headset that might also be an early glimpse at the future of games that run everywhere.

At 4PM ET today (that's 1PM PT for West Coasters like me!), I will answer as many of your questions as humanly possible about this headset, its controllers, its ergonomic accessories kit, and the Arcturus Vision Camera in a subscriber-only AMA. If you want me to test something special for you, get your question in ASAP - I'll see if I can try it between now and then!

Europe's biggest tech trade show, IFA, has taken over Berlin this week - and we've been on the ground all week checking it out in person. We figure you have questions, so we're hosting an AMA that's exclusive to Verge subscribers at 12PM ET today. That's when we'll start dropping answers, but you can ask your burning questions whenever you'd like.

I'm Dom Preston, a news editor here at The Verge, and I've spent the last few days roaming the trade show halls together with senior smart home reviewer Jen Tuohy, putting as much as we can to the test.

As you can probably guess, Jen's been checking out all things smart home, from Philips Hue's n …

The embargo has lifted on Google's Pixel 11 series, as well as for its Pixel Watch 5. Now we get to talk smack - just kidding, the new hardware is good. We have four reviews live on the site that you can peruse at your leisure. We're giving subscribers a chance to engage with us directly in an AMA later today. I'll be there (I reviewed the standard Pixel 11) to answer your questions, and so will David "11 Pro" Imel, Dominic "11 Pro Fold" Preston, and Victoria "Pixel Watch 5" Song.

Subscribers, drop in your questions and we'll begin answering them at 3PM ET. We can't stop you from asking irrelevant questions, but we'll be prioritizing ones t …

Imagine you are the parent of an inquisitive seven-year-old who loves his family, playing baseball, and hanging out with his friends. It's the life you've always wanted. And then the worst thing that ever could happen happens: A freak accident takes your son away. But as it turns out, you don't have to live with the grief for long, because now there's an AI company that can bring your kid back in the form of a robotic double that looks indistinguishable from a human.

This is the world that acclaimed director Hirokazu Kore-eda, who won the Palme d'Or for his 2018 feature Shoplifters, has created with his latest sci-fi drama, Sheep in the Box …

Watching Elon Musk fulminate at Bill Savitt during Musk v. Altman - the case in which Musk sued Sam Altman and OpenAI instead of seeing a therapist about his AI failures - was a bit like watching a toddler have a temper tantrum at his nursery school teacher. Savitt's questions were "designed to trick me," Musk said. He also told Savitt at one point, "You mostly do unfair questions."

Savitt, who has the approximate demeanor of a handsome Droopy Dog, gently told Musk, "I am trying to put the questions as fairly as I can. I am doing my best."

I've seen a number of styles of cross-examination. Savitt's was mild-mannered and soft-spoken; his q …

Welcome! I'm The Verge's smart home reviewer, and I'm hosting an exclusive subscriber AMA today at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET. I test a lot of connected gadgets for my job, but the dominant device in my home - by both number and square footage covered - is the robot vacuum. At any given time, I have a dozen of these bots bouncing around, sweeping and mopping my floors and irritating my cats.

I just published a guide on how to choose the best robot vacuum for your home, and I recently reviewed the Dyson Spot & Scrub, Shark's Power Detect, and the Matic, which is the most interesting new approach to a robot vacuum I've seen in my 7 years of reviewi …

It's MacBook Neo review day, so let's talk Apple's new $599 laptop. I'm going to host another AMA for Verge subscribers today at 11AM PT / 2PM ET. Like last time, it'll all take place in the comments section of this post.

What do you want to know about the MacBook Neo? I've got the "blush" pink one on hand right now, and I'm happy to answer whatever I can about Apple's new MacBook with an iPhone chip. I also have the 15-inch M5 MacBook Air and 16-inch M5 Max MacBook Pro review units on-hand too, so we can also nerd out about those a bit if you'd like.

To ask your questions, leave a comment on this post. There's no harm in getting your ques …

Pokémon's 30th anniversary is here and Nintendo (and The Pokémon Company, Game Freak, and Omega Force) are kicking things off with a surprisingly excellent life simulation spinoff game. Pokémon Pokopia arrives on March 5th, and it's one of the first Pokémon titles that will debut exclusively on the Nintendo Switch 2. Equal parts Animal Crossing, Minecraft, and Dragon Quest Builders, Pokopia reimagines the Pokémon world as a massive, human-free paradise that you can rebuild however you want. Pokopia easily could have been a straightforward game about making friends and crafting neighborhoods. But as our review discusses, Pokopia's a much bigg …

One of the first blockbuster games of the year is almost here - and it's a creepy one. Resident Evil Requiem launches on February 27th, and it's the first all-new RE game since Village in 2021. It's also a fascinating experience, one that combines the guns-blazing action of Resident Evil 4 with the first-person terror that originated with Resident Evil 7. In a lot of ways, it's the best of both worlds, as our review explains.

And we're here to talk about it.

My colleague Jay Peters and I have been playing the game ahead of launch and will be answering questions from Verge subscribers right here. So if you're curious about how the dual char …

What up, Verge-heads! Wait. "Vergesters?" "Verge-igans?" Nope, that ain't it…

GREETINGS, DEAREST VERGE SUBSCRIBERS!

Antonio here. 👋🏻 I'm your friendly neighborhood laptop reviewer, and I'm hosting an exclusive subscriber "AMA" today at 11AM PT / 2PM ET. I review laptops ranging from MacBooks and Chromebooks to weird-but-awesome tablets and a $6,000 gaming laptop. So I have a fairly wide range of experience with some of the best computers you can own: what their screens look like, how nice they are to type on, if their trackpads suck or not, and, of course, how many ugly stickers you'll be removing if you buy one yourself.

My job has …
