Prepare For Even Higher SSD Prices As Most 2026 Stock Has Already Been Sold
If price increases for SSDs were already becoming difficult to stomach, things are potentially set to become a lot worse throughout the year.
Reported by German outlet Heise (and shared by RockPaperShotgun), two out of the three big hard drive manufacturers globally have revealed that all 2026 stock has been sold, and that remaining stock for 2027 and 2028 is currently being earmarked for enterprise clients. During their respective earnings calls in January, both Western Digital and Seagate announced that all manufacturing capacity for the coming year had been allocated, and that production expansion is not being planned.
Seagate CEO William Mosley says the company is already taking orders for the first half of 2027, and that "multiple cloud customers are discussing their demand growth projections for calendar 2028." Western Digital's CEO Tiang Yew Tan made similar remarks, stating that the company has "robust commercial agreements with three of our top five customers--two through calendar year 2027 and one through calendar year 2028."

At some point in your life, you'll realize that you won the ultimate race, with the grand prize being your very existence. Wouldn't that make for an interesting video game? It's a concept that indie developer Valentin Wirth has run wild with, as they recently unveiled a first look at Become, a 3D platformer about the grand journey to be the fastest sperm alive. Here's the first trailer for Become, which is probably not safe for work, but it is adorable:
Described as a short single-player, third-person adventure, Become casts you as a sperm cell that is competing against millions of others in the game of life. To stand a chance at winning this race and fertilizing an egg cell, your little sperm will have to learn, adapt, and grow stronger as it explores the human reproductive system.

Nintendo has rolled out a new update for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild on Switch and Switch 2. The patch brings the open-world title up to version 1.9 on both platforms, with the focus on improving "the gameplay experience." Keep in mind that the nearly nine-year-old game won't be updated on Wii U, however.
On Switch 2, Breath of the Wild has received Thai text support, though the audio will be English. Meanwhile, the patch notes for Switch and Switch 2 stay vague about the adjustments to the game. This continues a trend dating back to when the title launched in 2017. For instance, for the version 1.1.2 update in April 2017, the company stated that "adjustments have been made to make for a more pleasant gaming experience."
Breath of the Wild went over six years without an update--from April 2019 to June 2025. The game got a paid Switch 2 Edition that was released alongside the new hybrid system, spurring the rekindled support of GameSpot's 2017 Game of the Year. It's one of the best Switch 2 games to play, too.
