The PHP development team announces the immediate availability of PHP 8.3.31. This is a security release. All PHP 8.3 users are encouraged to upgrade to this version. Release Announcement: <https://php.net/releases/8_3_31.php>
Nintendo’s been giving Star Fox a lot more attention recently, and following his big game reveal, we’ve now got an adorable plush toy announcement.
Japanese company Sanei has announced it will be releasing a new line of Star Fox plush in Japan in “late June”. As you can see, the line up currently includes Fox McCloud, Falco Lombardi, Peppy Hare and Slippy Toad.
They’ll apparently be priced at 3,300 yen each. Here are the dimensions, along with another look:
Fox McCloud:
Dimensions: W12×D12×H25 cm
Falco Lombardi:
Dimensions: W14×D12×H25 cm
Peppy Hare:
Dimensions: W14×D12×H29 cm
Slippy Toad:
Dimensions: W14×D10×H20 cm
Unfortunately, there’s no mention of a local release, but if there are any updates or news about pre-orders via imported stock, we’ll let you know.
As for Star Fox’s new Switch 2 game, it’s getting a global release on 25th June 2026. You can find out more in our announcement post:
Would you be interested in any of these plush? Let us know in the comments.
Earlier this year, it was discovered development on the Switch 2 version of Borderlands 4 had been paused. We’ve now kind of got an update from Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick.
During a chat with Game File, Zelnick said the Switch 2 version is “doable” but is currently on pause, and issued a reminder that Gearbox is focused on improving the PC and console versions before bringing the latest entry to more platforms (thanks, VGC).
“We’ve been addressing those challenges, and we want to make sure that we’ve fully addressed Borderlands 4 from a consumer’s point of view before we bring it to more platforms.”
He added how his teams have already shown support for the Switch 2, but says the primary console focus is still Sony and Microsoft’s platforms.
“We want to be wherever the consumer is, and we’ve supported Switch 2. You can tell from what we are doing and what we’re not doing that our primary console platforms remain Sony and Microsoft.”
So, not all hope is lost, but the priority for Gearbox is cleaning up other versions of Borderlands 4.
When Borderlands 4 debuted on other platforms last year, the shift to open-world was praised, but there were reports of problematic performance at the time.
Would you be interested in Borderlands 4 on Switch 2 if it sees the light of day? Let us know in the comments.
If you’re a veteran pilot, Nintendo has revealed you’ll be right at home with the new version of Star Fox on the Switch 2.
In this modernised adventure, based on the 1997 original, Nintendo has highlighted the ability to play with a Nintendo 64 controller. During the Star Fox Direct, Nintendo’s Yoshiaki Koizumi noted how these controls feel “closer to the original”, so you’ll be doing barrel rolls in no time!
“Those that played the Nintendo 64 version can enjoy controls that feel even closer to the original.”
If you don’t already have a Switch Online N64 controller, they’re available for purchase on the My Nintendo Store.
Another control method also highlighted in the recent broadcast were the Joy-Con 2 controls. This includes mouse targeting – allowing you to “seemlessly swap to mouse-controlled targeting for intuitive aiming and steering”.
And as we’ve already mentioned, there’ll also be a co-op option in the campaign and challenge mode, where one player takes on the role of the pilot with one Joy-Con 2 controller, while the other player acts as the gunner using mouse mode controls on the other Joy-Con 2 controller.
So, there you go – there’ll be plenty of ways to pilot your Arwing in this upcoming release due out on 25th June 2026.
Will you be piloting this new Switch 2 release with a Nintendo 64 controller? How about the mouse mode option? Tell us below.

Switch 2’s GameChat support will be put to use in the upcoming Switch 2 release Star Fox, with Nintendo revealing the game will feature character avatars.
These allow you to change your face in GameChat to look like a character from the Star Fox universe and tracks your head movement and facial expressions. This includes mouth movement, blinking, and eyebrow movement.
Here’s a look at this GameChat feature in motion:

To use this feature, you can either connect Nintendo’s official GameChat camera to the Switch 2, or a supported USB camera.
The AR filters will also allow you to add a pair of “Star Fox-like ears” or a “Falco-inspired beak” that moves when talking. Keep in mind you’ll need an active Switch Online subscription to access GameChat.
What do you think of this GameChat feature in Star Fox? Do you think you’ll make much use of it? Let us know in the comments.
Aerial dogfights are back on the menu in the new Star Fox game for Switch 2, with Nintendo revealing the game’s battle mode during its Star Fox Direct.
The battle mode will allow you to gather a crew and compete in all-new 4-vs-4 dogfights with up to a total of 8 players online. Four will fight on the side of ‘Team Star Fox’ and the other four players will join ‘Team Star Wolf’.

The online mode will include three stages, each with different objectives. On Corneria, you’ll secure control a designated zone, on Fichina you’ll compete to collect energy crystals, and in Sector Y, you’ll be required to retrieve cargo from space pirates.
Pilots will also be given the option to join team battles via private matches, and there’s the option to match with up to four players locally or online through GameShare. GameShare also allows players with the original Switch to join in on the fun locally, and there’ll be offline multiplayer where you can take on the CPU.
Of course, to access the online multiplayer content, you’ll need to have a Nintendo account and a Switch Online membership.

Nintendo also revealed it will offer co-op in the campaign and challenge mode, where one player takes on the role of the pilot with one Joy-Con, and the player assigned to the other Joy-Con is the gunner.
Are you looking forward to taking to the skies in Star Fox’s multiplayer? Let us know in the comments.
Next month, Fox McCloud and his team will return to the stars and skies to save the Lylat system once more.
Now that Nintendo has briefed us on what to expect, including the price £41.99 / $49.99 (or $10 more physically), we’re curious to know if you’ll be picking up this new version of the game when it takes flight for the Switch 2 on 25th June 2026.
Apart from the campaign with full cinematics and an “epic” orchestral soundtrack, players can also look forward to features such as co-op, local and online multiplayer, GameShare and a new feature tied to GameChat where you can become a Star Fox character. There’ll even be amiibo support!
