Gaming news outlets report that FromSoftware is preparing to bring its hit title, 'Elden Ring,' to the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. The port, reportedly titled the 'Tarnished Edition,' will include the base game and the 'Shadow of the Erdtree' expansion. This release is expected to follow the studio's launch of a new gothic multiplayer game, 'The Duskbloods,' later this year. The port is being framed as a significant opportunity for players to experience the game on a portable platform.

Separately, the wearable technology company Oura is facing a class-action lawsuit. The complaint alleges that the company misled consumers regarding the accuracy of its sleep-tracking capabilities. Specifically, the lawsuit claims that the Oura Ring cannot accurately measure distinct sleep stages because it lacks the necessary sensors to monitor brain activity directly, relying instead on motion, heart rate, and temperature data. Oura has not yet issued a public response to the specific claims in the filing.
