The Visit is a hilarious free flash game that's well worth your time

Co-created by the guy who made that amazing point-and-click Double Fine application.

"Beginnings are special," said Christian Donlan at the start of his Dishonored diary , where he noted that ruining the start of a game is just as big a spoiler as the ending.

That's never been truer than in Exotworking's The Visit , a clever free flash game about... well, I don't want to spoil it for you, so let's just say it's about a man whose day goes in a very unexpected direction.

The whole thing is a parody of conventional game design and much of the fun is trying to discover all six of the endings - each with their own amazing piece of artwork at their conclusion.

This Visit was created by Irina Gross, Benedikt Hummel, and Majus Fietzek, who gained some notoriety for the greatest job application of all-time ; a point-and-click adventure about interviewing for an internship at Double Fine that ended up getting him said internship at Double Fine.

I suspect Monkey Island fans will especially get a kick out of it, and if you're ever applying for a job and see his name on the list of potential hires, just give up and do something else. I hear floor inspector is a lovely position...

Video Game / The Visit

Edit locked.

The Visit is a video game created by Molkman and Majus Arts for Kongregate and Newgrounds in 2012. In it, you play as a nameless man who has to get to his ladyfriend while avoiding crabs.

This game provides the following tropes:

• Deconstruction Game : Of jumping on enemies in video games.
• Five-Second Foreshadowing : You'll notice something is amiss when touching a crab doesn't deal any damage, hinting that they're not malicious and what will happen if you do stomp on one.
• High-Voltage Death : In the worst ending, the main character dies on an electric chair.
• Great Guy: The Golden Ending . He kills no crabs and reaches the house.
• Forgiven: A Bittersweet Ending . He kills a crab, chooses the sorry response, apologises and reaches the house.
• Bad Person: A Downer Ending . He kills a crab, chooses the rude response but doesn't destroy the funeral and reaches the house.
• This ending has two variations depending on the response he chose at the trial. If the hero was sorry, the cat will try to console him; otherwise, it will scratch him and leave.
• Rascal On The Run: A Bittersweet Ending . He kills a crab, and escapes the court via the window on the right.
• Horrible Person: A really Downer Ending . He kills a crab, jumps on a lamp, and kills the judge.
• Tally Marks on the Prison Wall : The hero does a lot of them on the prison walls, floor and toilet if he goes there.

The Visit review

You can't choose your family....

GamesRadar+ Verdict

None too original but effective. Scares, laughs and some authentic heartache as Shyamalan once more examines the wounds of a fractured family.

Why you can trust GamesRadar+ Our experts review games, movies and tech over countless hours, so you can choose the best for you. Find out more about our reviews policy.

Endeavouring to re-find his mojo by turning in a low-budget found-footage movie for Blumhouse Pictures (the studio behind the Paranormal Activity , Sinister and Insidious franchises) M. Night Shyamalan has made his best film for years.

OK, that's not so hard when Lady In The Water , The Last Airbender and After Earth are the movies being outstripped, but The Visit is a genuinely creepy and chucklesome horror-comedy with a touching (if somewhat over-sentimentalised) core.

Visiting their estranged grandparents while their mum (Kathryn Hayn) goes on week-long holiday, teen Rebecca (Olivia DeJonge) and younger brother Tyler (Ed Oxenbould) initially take to Nana (Deanna Dunagan) and Pop-Pop (Peter McRobbie) and their big, isolated house in snow-swept fields.

But why are the oldies so insistent on a 9.30 bedtime? And what does Pop-Pop get up to in his shed? And is a bad case of mould really the reason why the basement is off limits? One thing's for sure: wannabe filmmaker Rebecca will document events as they unfurl, keeping hold of the camera at all times or at least dropping it in such a manner that it still captures a cool shot.

Get past the usual niggles of the found-footage sub-genre – plus Rebecca spouting about “mise-en-scene” and Tyler's penchant for rapping – and The Visit serves up some chilling set-pieces, with Shyamalan assuredly framing his scares as he plugs into the uncomfortable, often unspoken fact that old people, to young people, can be both scary and foul.

Just as Cronenberg's Videodrome celebrated the new flesh, this cringes at the wrinkled and powdery, with the rejuvenated writer-director finding something of myths and fairy tales in these terrifying ogres.

Is there a twist? Of course there is, but it's more simple and effective than many of Shyamalan's elaborate rug pulls, and perfectly fits in with the campfire-tale tone. By playing it small, this is a big step forward in the right direction.

Messi’s Vancouver no-show explained — by Inter Miami, the Whitecaps and a bunch of upset fans

The posters proclaimed it, social media posts cranked up the hype, and local businesses took note.

The magical Messi roadshow was coming to Vancouver and, like with everywhere Inter Miami goes since the Argentina icon joined last summer, regular fans were set to mix with by star-struck daytrippers coming from far and wide to see him play.

Advertisement

Whitecaps’ BC Place stadium was expecting a far bigger than usual crowd for the MLS clash with Miami, which should ordinarily have featured Messi and his former Barcelona team-mates Luis Suarez and Sergio Busquets on Saturday.

Their hosts had even organized street parties ( billed as the club’s ‘largest ever’ ) as part of an extraordinary match-day plan.

But there’s expectation and there’s reality: and the demands of the MLS schedule meant a dose of the latter for fans who paid hundreds of dollars for inflated tickets in the hope of seeing one of the greatest ever players in their home city.

On Thursday night it emerged — from the Whitecaps — that Messi, Suarez and Busquets would not make the long trip .

Whitecaps CEO Axel Schuster told the club’s official website: “While we haven’t received an official update on the availability of Lionel Messi, Luis Suárez, and Sergio Busquets for this weekend, we understand they will not make this trip.”

The Whitecaps said in their statement that they are expecting a record-breaking crowd for the match, surpassing the 32,465 that attended the club’s 50th anniversary match on May 4, the team’s largest crowd in its MLS era (previous versions of the Whitecaps played in various leagues in the U.S. and Canada since 1974).

Schuster said that to make up for the absence of the trio, the team will be offering a 50 per cent reduction on all stadium food and a kids meal voucher for those attending who are under the age of 18.

“We know that there will also be a lot of disappointed fans,” Schuster said. “We remain committed to making this a special experience for everyone. It is still going to be an incredible atmosphere and celebration of soccer for our city. We have amazing fans, we have a good team, and Saturday’s match is a very important home game for us.”

For many of those disappointed fans, though, half-price food was not much consolation.

And as we approach the one-year anniversary of Messi’s arrival, is it time that MLS supporters, clubs, and the league itself were smarter about managing the demands placed on an aging superstar versus his money-spinning gravitational pull?

The distance between Miami and Vancouver makes it the longest away trip in Major League Soccer, at nearly 2,900 miles in the air or a six-and-a-half-hour nonstop flight. Inter Miami faces a quick turnaround, too, hosting Atlanta United at home on Wednesday.

“The reasons are exclusively based on what we’re facing this week,” said head coach Tata Martino on Friday in response to questions about why the star trio had stayed at home.

Messi and Suarez appeared at Inter’s Chase stadium that evening for the opening ceremony of the Youth International Cup.

“Normally when these trips take place, and I’m speaking based on my experience at Atlanta United, the trip includes additional games in a nearby location so that the entire trip can be more manageable and not as exhausting,” said Martino.  

“We have two home games after [Vancouver]. In evaluating that, we felt it was prudent that [Messi, Suarez, Busquets] not participate in this match. They trained today and they’ll train again on Saturday and they’ll be prepared for what’s coming next week. 

There was a nod to the crestfallen Messi admirers too. “We understand the frustration from the fans, especially because of the hope that they have in seeing these players,” Martino added.

“As a staff sometimes we have to make these types of uncomfortable decisions that evidently frustrate people. But we have to look out for our club, the team and for our players.”

Miami’s uncomfortable decisions were followed by uncomfortable questions for the people behind the Whitecaps marketing team.

They can be forgiven for hoping to maximise the potential of Messi coming to town, but Martino underlined why other clubs may be wise to consider circumstances and nuance if they are to avoid future disappointment.

“We understand what these players mean to MLS and to this market, to the teams that we visit,” he said. “But we have to make these decisions, knowing that people will be upset. We know, however, that the decisions made benefit our team and our players.

“We can’t announce what our plans are going to be weeks in advance. … We had analyzed this knowing that we had three games in one week.

“We knew perfectly well what we’d be facing. Now we’ve had to make this decision. It’s not odd in my opinion. There are a lot of MLS teams who do the same thing. We know that the players who will not play tomorrow have revolutionized the league, especially Leo. 

“But we have to safeguard the health of the team.” 

MLS responded with a statement that acknowledged the “fan disappointment when marquee players are unavailable for fixtures” but did not address their own part in the process.

“Each MLS club makes its own personnel and competitive decisions based on what they believe is in the best interests of the club and each player,” the statement added. “The league will continue to review measures regarding how clubs report player availability.”

“We could’ve had another away game in Los Angeles or Kansas (City), something that’s more manageable,” Martino said. “It’s not the same to go to Montreal, which is a three-hour flight there and back, to then come back and face Orlando. 

“Vancouver is a total of 12 hours in flight plus the three-hour time zone difference. So we have to consider all of that. Perhaps the decision would’ve been different because we still have a top of the table position that we have to defend.

“And we’re following a plan that I had mentioned at the start of the year: earn as many points as possible while we have all of our players available. That’s going to change beginning next week (when players competing in the Copa America join up with their national team).”

One other suggested factor behind the decision is that the playing surface at BC Place is artificial turf, which many players worldwide refuse to play on due to a higher risk of injury or aggravation of an existing injury. But Messi has said before he is willing to play on it and did so a month ago against the New England Revolution at Gillette Stadium.

For Messi, it will be the seventh game across all competitions he has missed this year, with previous absences owing to a leg injury and a few others due to rest. He took a knock in Miami’s game against Montreal on May 11, stayed in the game and played the full 90 minutes but missed the next match, midweek, against Orlando City.

Lionel Messi no-show prompts boos in Hong Kong, but Inter Miami focus on bigger picture

Disappointed supporters were more forthright in wanting answers from both Whitecaps and MLS.

There is frustration at missing out on what will likely be their only chance to see Messi, Busquets and Suarez this season, and Schuster admitted he has received many messages spelling that anger out.

“As a football fan, you want to see some of the greatest players of all time play against your club. It’s one of those once-in-a-lifetime type experiences,” said Tobyn Rootman, President of Vancouver Albion, a Whitecaps supporters group.

“I felt for young fans and for families who were coming from out of town, from the United States, from across Canada for this game. At the end of the day, I’m still going to be happy to be there and support the Whitecaps, but my feeling was definitely shock.”

Vancouver Albion are a unique group in that they are made solely of teenagers. When the Whitecaps season schedule was announced, the opportunities for these teenagers to sell their tickets to give others the chance to see Messi and co. in the flesh were plentiful.

“People could have sold their tickets for $500 a few weeks ago. We’re teenagers. We’re not rolling in money,” he said. “The vast majority of people in our group work jobs outside of high school to be able to afford their season tickets. That amount of money could have paid off our entire season tickets.”

Instead, their entire supporters group – made of dozens of fans – bet on seeing Messi in the flesh.

“Not a single person (sold their tickets),” Rootman said.

“It’s going to be a loud supporters section. Just because this whole situation has riled up a lot of fans. It’s obviously caused a lot of animosity between supporters and casual fans. I think all of that energy will really come out tomorrow.”

Hard lessons aside, there may also still be an opportunity for Whitecaps — not the only club to try hard to sell more seats on the back of Messi’s visit — to salvage some positives from the situation.

Once Messi announced he was coming to MLS, teams around the league began to activate marketing for games in which they were going to host Inter Miami.

The Chicago Fire were among the most aggressive. For a team that has struggled on the field over the last decade-plus, and thus struggled to find a foothold in one of the country’s biggest markets, Chicago looked to use the Messi game as a chance for long-term impact.

They built pregame activations around the stadium and booked in-game promotions that included light-up wristbands and a halftime performance from Chicago rapper Lil Durk. In addition to pushing ticket sales around the game — prices soared, but the club made more than 200 price adjustments to limit the number of tickets bought by bots and resellers — they also built out more premium seating options, including field-side seats, pushed suite sales and invited potential sponsorship partners to the match.

The efforts worked. Heading into the 2023 season, the Fire had zero annual suite leases, but by the offseason had sold 37, the highest number in MLS, according to the club, and currently has nearly 50 annual leases.

When it became clear that Messi might miss the game due to injury, the Fire pushed to find a way to convert Messi ticket buyers into Fire fans.

Chicago offered a $250 account credit toward new memberships for the 2024 season – or a $50 account credit for anyone unable to use the new member credit – to all single-ticket buyers who attended the match against Inter Miami. That promotion led to over 700 new memberships, according to the club, which contributed to the 3,000 new season ticket holders for the 2024 season.

In the end, Messi didn’t play in Chicago. But the night was a success nonetheless. The game was the highest-grossing MLS regular season match of all-time and the home team put on a show for the record crowd of 62,124. Xherdan Shaqiri had by far his best game with the Fire, scoring twice, as Chicago trounced Inter Miami, 4-1, in front of what turned into a boisterous home crowd.

The Fire carried the lessons over. When Messi and Miami landed on the schedule again for 2024, Chicago offered comped tickets for the Miami game for all new season ticket memberships purchased. They also set aside thousands of tickets for current season ticket holders to purchase, as well as for community organizations.

Rachele Renzi is one of those fans who thinks Whitecaps should do more than a cut-price meal voucher. She spent $335 on a ticket she bought for her brother Samuele, who scheduled his 5,545-mile-trip (8,923 kms) from their family home in Civitanova Marche, Italy, to visit her around the time of the game.

The 26-year-old marketing specialist, who has lived in Vancouver for six years, bought the ticket from Ticketmaster and is angry at the Whitecaps for their Messi-centric advertising, and refusal to offer anything more than half price food in the wake of his no-show.

“My brother is a huge Messi fan and he’s very sad,” she says.  “I paid a premium price on the back of the advertising on the club social media, website and coverage in the media. The reason they sold out the stadium is because of Messi.

“I understand that they can’t guarantee who will play but they can control whether or not to charge inflated prices for tickets for the game. To just say people can have half-price food vouchers isn’t good enough. I think they should offer a partial refund to people who paid so much.”

Asked in a pre-game press conference whether Whitecaps would follow Fire’s reaction to their own predicament last year, Schuster said the two situations cannot be compared.

“Chicago is an Eastern conference team, they will play Miami this year again and next year again,” he said. “They have offered a credit to a future ticket that people can use for another Miami game and that’s not what it is for us so for that reason I don’t think we can really compare what Chicago did.”

He emphasised that the Whitecaps learned “less than 24 hours before about the rumours that might be the scenario [Messi not travelling]” and immediately reached out to Miami.

“But it’s not the thing professional teams do to share too much information because the whole thing tomorrow is that it’s a sporting competition so you are holding back information,” he said. “The best answer we could get is that they had not made the final decisions and would make the final selection after training. We really learned an hour or two before we went out with our message.” 

For his part, Martino had said he was “fine” with those back channels confirming his early team news because the club “had been in communication with Vancouver’s president knowing that he would have to make decisions and look after his fanbase”. 

The 61-year-old pushed back at the thought Inter owed their opponents much more, though.

“It’s up to the team’s who host us to have a plan B in case Leo can’t travel and then communicate to their fans accordingly,” he said, adding that when Miami play at home “we don’t announce it 20 days in advance [if Messi will not play].”

Regarding whether he had feared this might have happened due to Miami’s schedule, Schuster said he had been hopeful. “Since we learned about the game there were always concerns. But we saw them playing in New England and their turf is no better than ours but we knew they had no (mid-week) game this week so at least there was a bit of a break,” he said.

“We are no different from our fans. I can tell you the players were most excited and now most disappointed because as a player you want to be on the pitch with the best.”

That optimism certainly drove the Whitecaps to be decisive in trying to boost their coffers when the fixture list dropped.

According to Peter Czimmermann, president and secretary of Vancouver Southsiders, the club tried to promote more expensive season tickets to supporters to ensure they had a seat for Miami’s visit.

“I don’t know how subtle they were about the opportunity and the risks involved,” says Czimmermann. “The star players are used throughout the league every day. When the schedule came out, the Caps really pushed everybody to get season tickets, which was basically the cheapest way to get a guaranteed ticket to this match.  And then they did jack-up the price for the single match. They also sold this ticket as part of a three game pack. 

“This year is the team’s 50th anniversary. It’s a big deal. I think I was very disappointed that they raised the prices as a supporter because it limits our ability to get in home supporters to the stadium. 

“But also it’s a business. Every franchise is responsible to bring in money because somebody has to pay for the players, whether indirectly or directly. And I’d rather that money go to the club than to the resale market. That’s my personal opinion.”

Czimmermann also said he has seen tickets for the game on resale changing hands for up to $1,000, although he played down the suggestions that hoteliers were cynically inflating prices around the Miami match.

The star guest may have excused himself but diehard Whitecaps fans, and club executives, are hoping there are still enough attendees for a memorable party.

“It’s still a soccer game,” says Czimmermann. “It’s still gonna be great. Miami is still good — it’s gonna be a tough match.”

For those in power at the Whitecaps, there will be a time to reflect on whether their marketing strategy was foolproof.

“I will stop to think about that after this game,” said Schuster. “There will be a time we have to go over it and ask could we have done better and what can we do differently in future?

“When the game was in the schedule and we started to sell tickets most of the people in the game said, ‘Come on they [the ex Barcelona players] will not all come, you have the artificial turf etc’ but I thought all the reasons that might happen have gone away over the weeks and months.”

Killer Klowns From Outer Space: The Game – new Downtown Crescent Cove map revealed

Get a first look at the new map featuring fan-favorite sights.

Classic horror fans have been anticipating the PS5 launch of Killer Klowns From Outer Space: The Game, with some lucky con-goers getting to experience it early. Throughout the journey, we’ve sprinted around rides at the Amusement Park, and quietly snuck through the makeout spot at Top Of the World. Today, we’re bringing PlayStation Blog a never-before-seen map: Downtown Crescent Cove.

This map has a wide-spanning open-air plaza as well as tighter building interiors to promote varied gameplay. Explore manmade and organic spaces while you maneuver around deserted vehicles strewn throughout. Take advantage of the higher points so you may peer over and through the avenues and alleyways. As you’re making your way, you may discover the familiar Police Station or the Biker’s alley, giving you the movie experience and immersing you further into the Killer Klowns universe.

Terrorize the town as you chase and harvest humans under the glow of neon signs and streetlights.

Recruit Lackey Klowns to patrol the streets, detect humans, hook cotton candy cocoons, and keep your operation running at maximum efficiency.

Choose from an arsenal of weapons and abilities to track and cocoon humans– or just smear the pavement with them.

Take note of the exits around town, and foil any escape attempts– but watch out for those pesky humans as they may be wielding some tools and weapons of their own.

Light the town up as you fill the Lackey Generators, causing an electrifying spectacle, and ultimately: Klownpocalypse, the explosive end-of-match event that destroys all humans.

Killer Klowns From Outer Space: The Game launches on PS5 June 4. Pre-order the game to get one week of advanced access and rare cosmetics. Are you prepared for the invasion?

No respite for Reds: Shohei Ohtani and Los Angeles Dodgers arrive Friday

Fresh from their first off day in two weeks, the NL West-leading Los Angeles Dodgers look to regain momentum when they visit the Cincinnati Reds on Friday (7:10 p.m.) in the opener of a three-game series.

The Dodgers lost 6-0 to the Arizona Diamondbacks on Wednesday in the finale of a seven-game homestand, getting shut out for just the third time this season.

It was also the final game of 13 straight without a day off, going 7-6 in that span. The Diamondbacks won the final two games of the series as the Dodgers finished their homestand with a 4-3 mark.

Los Angeles opened the homestand by taking three of four from Cincinnati, including the final three of the series last weekend.

“I thought it was gonna be great. You know, we were 7-4 for a minute there,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. “And then the last few games, I just thought we just didn’t play well, didn’t swing the bat, and we lost a series.

“I think overall, I thought it was still a good stretch for us, I do, but there’s certainly a lot of things that we can be better at in each facet of the game. But I think, by and large, the pitching has been really solid. And so, that’s something I’m gonna hang my hat on.”

Before surrendering 13 runs in two losses to Arizona, the Dodgers had allowed just 32 runs over their previous 11 games. The Dodgers have been impacted by the loss of Max Muncy, who went on the injured list with a right oblique strain last Friday.

The Dodgers were held to four runs or fewer six times in their past eight games. Still, the Dodgers lead the NL West by 6 1/2 games over the San Diego Padres.

The Reds, on the other hand, have plummeted to the basement of the NL Central thanks to a stretch of 26 games in which they have won just six times.

On Thursday, the Reds rallied from a three-run deficit to tie the Padres, only to fall in 10 innings, 6-4.

The loss clinched Cincinnati’s eighth consecutive series loss since splitting a four-game series with the Philadelphia Phillies.

“This is a results-oriented business, not the ‘try league,’” Reds catcher Luke Maile said. “You have to get it done. And within that, there’s a lot of process stuff that we’re sticking to, and we will, because we’re adults, and we’re big leaguers.

“But we’ve got a bunch of guys who are really talented, No. 1, and on top of it, we care about each other. There’s no quit in here. It’s not going to happen.”

The Dodgers send left-hander James Paxton (5-0, 2.84 ERA) to the mound in the series opener. Paxton allowed three runs on seven hits over six-plus innings and received a no-decision in Los Angeles’ 7-3 win over Cincinnati last Friday.

Paxton will make his third career start against Cincinnati, posting a 0-0 record with a 3.27 ERA in his previous two outings.

The Reds counter with right-hander Graham Ashcraft (3-3, 4.25). Last Saturday at Los Angeles, Ashcraft was charged with three runs on three hits over five innings and took the loss in Cincinnati’s 4-0 setback.

Ashcraft is 1-2 with a 3.95 ERA in three previous starts against the Dodgers.

ABUJA, Nigeria (AP) — Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan, arrived in Nigeria amid pomp and dancing on Friday to champion mental health for young people affected by conflicts and to promote the Invictus Games, which the prince founded to aid the rehabilitation of wounded and sick servicemembers and veterans.

The couple, in the West African nation for the first time on the invitation of its military, began their three-day visit by going to the Lightway Academy school which receives support from their Archewell foundation to train young girls affected by conflicts in Nigeria, before going on to meet with the nation’s military officers.

Harry and Meghan will also be meeting with wounded soldiers and their families in what Nigerian officials have said is a show of support to improve the morale of the soldiers, including those fighting a 14-year war against Islamic extremists in the country’s northeast.

Harry served in Afghanistan as an Apache helicopter copilot gunner, after which he founded the Invictus Games in 2014 to offer wounded veterans and servicemembers the challenge of competing in sports events similar to the Paralympics. Nigeria was among the nations that participated in last year’s edition of the games.

At the Abuja school where they kicked off an inaugural mental health summit organized by local non-profit GEANCO, which partners with their foundation, the couple were received by a dancing troupe and a crowd of excited students and teachers.

“We’ve got to acknowledge those amazing dance moves!” Meghan said. “My husband was excited to jump up!”

They then went into the classrooms to interact with the children, who showed robot cars they had built.

They spoke to the students about mental health, and about their own children, Archie and Lilibet.

“In some cases around the world ... there is a stigma when it comes to mental health. Too many people don’t want to talk about it,” Harry said. “So will you promise to us that after today, no more being scared, no more being unsure of mental health?”

Meghan praised her husband’s openness.

“You see why I’m married to him?” she said of Harry amid cheers, before urging the schoolchildren to never be ashamed of their experiences in life. “It is a complete honor to have our first visit to Nigeria; be here with all of you. We believe in you. We believe in your future,” she said.

Student Nnenna Okorie couldn’t hide her excitement at meeting the couple. “She is the prettiest human being ever,” said Okorie, a senior student at the school. “I admire her so much and then Harry. I love how he is so supportive,” she said.

The couple then went to Nigeria’s Defense Headquarters where they were received by servicemen and their wives before going into a private meeting with Nigeria’s chief of defense staff, Gen. Christopher Musa.

During their stay, Harry and Meghan will also attend basketball and volleyball matches in Abuja and Lagos. Meghan will co-host an event on women in leadership with Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Director General of the World Trade Organization, according to the couple’s spokesperson, Charlie Gipson.

The news of Meghan’s visit excited some in Nigeria where her life — and association with the British royal family — is closely followed. Meghan has also said in the past that she found out through a genealogy test that she was 43% Nigerian.

The Nigerian military has touted the Invictus Games as one which could help the recovery of thousands of its personnel who have been fighting the homegrown Boko Haram Islamic extremists and their factions since 2009 when they launched an insurgency.

“Eighty percent of our soldiers that have been involved in this recovery program are getting better (and) their outlook to life is positive,” Marquis, the military’s sports director, said.

“The recovery program has given them an opportunity to improve their personal self-esteem, to improve their mental health and emotional intelligence.”

• Pete Kyriacou – CVP, Microsoft Devices

Today, Microsoft and Surface introduced the fastest, most intelligent Windows PCs ever: Copilot+ PCs. The all-new Surface Pro and Surface Laptop are the ultimate Copilot+ PCs, delivering incredible performance, all-day battery life and brand-new AI experiences. They showcase the beauty and innovation that happens at the intersection of software and hardware.

Surface was created to lead the PC industry with innovation and technology that showcases the best of Microsoft and empowers our customers to achieve more. We’ve been at the forefront of new PC categories, with thoughtful designs and new features that inspire our customers. And as we dive into the new wave of AI, Surface continues to put our customers first.

Copilot+ PCs

Copilot+ PCs provide a quantum leap in computing, with power, performance and breakthrough AI experiences. Debuting with Snapdragon ® X Elite and Snapdragon X Plus processors, Copilot+ PCs are tuned to deliver optimal processing and response times – and are faster than the latest Macbook Air. i

Performance like this means the apps customers love work great. Microsoft has partnered closely with developers across the globe to optimize their applications for this processor.

Surface product principles

Accessibility, security and sustainability are core components in every product in the Surface lineup. The all-new Surface Pro and Surface Laptop make major strides across all three categories.

Surface products are built to empower everyone on the planet to achieve more. When we develop inclusive products, we create a more comfortable and empowering product experience for everyone, without excluding people in the process. Our journey involves continuous learning from the disability community, placing them at the heart of our design process to develop solutions that unlock their full potential.

Our accessible offerings are comprehensive, ranging from an ecosystem of adaptive accessories to adaptive features built into the fabric of our hardware and software. With the new Copilot+ PCs from Surface, we continued to prioritize adaptability, resulting in products that are inclusive by design.

That’s why we designed the new Surface Pro Flex Keyboard with a bold keyset option, xii to reduce eye strain and assist people with low vision. We added a customizable, haptic touchpad, the most inclusive touchpad on the market today, to both our Surface Pro keyboard and our Surface Laptop, empowering customers with a wide range of hand movement and dexterity capabilities to easily adjust the touchpad to their preferences, resulting in a more delightful experience for all.

These hardware capabilities, alongside new experiences that utilize the power of the NPU, increase your productivity and creativity, allowing you to work, learn and play in the way that is most natural to you.

Security and privacy are always top of mind for us, implementing chip-to-cloud security that begins with inherently secure Surface devices.

Starting with tracing the origin of even the smallest components on the motherboard through building the lines of code ensuring a secure boot. Every Copilot+ PC will be a Secured-Core PC with Microsoft Pluton Security enabled by default and Windows Hello Enhanced Sign-in enabled by default. We take our responsibility to keep your data safe seriously.

In 2020, Microsoft set a goal to become carbon negative by 2030 – and at Surface, we know we have a responsibility to the planet. With the new Surface Pro and Surface Laptop we are introducing our most significant sustainability advancements yet.
