The latest special-edition of Google’s Fitbit Air is inspired by the Pokémon Sleep game, with a “Sleepy Blue” band emblazoned with a snoozing Pikachu. It’s not exactly Snorlax blue, but matches the classic blue and gold of a Pokémon card pretty closely. The special-edition is available to preorder now for $129 and starts shipping September 15th. It’s arriving as Pokémon celebrates its 30th anniversary this year, with a special-edition collection of playing cards set to launch the same week.

This isn’t the first wearable that can connect with Pokémon Sleep — the sleep tracking app supports dozens of wearables from Apple, Google, Garmin, and Samsung. The game lets you collect pokémon around a virtual campsite while also tracking your sleep stats. With the Pokémon Fitbit Air you can do that while wearing a Pikachu on your wrist and integrating your Google Health data, but you can also “play” Pokémon Sleep without using a wearable at all.

The Pokémon Sleep Fitbit Air is the first special-edition of Google’s screenless wearable since a Stephen Curry version that launched earlier this year. The base version without a special edition band costs $99.

Epic Games’ New Voice Chat Lets You Keep Talking To Friends While Playing Different Games

Epic Games has announced that it's going to make it easier than ever to hang out and talk with friends across different platforms by launching Epic Parties. This voice chat service will work across Fortnite (on all supported platforms), the Epic Games Store launcher (PC, iOS, and Android), and the Epic Games app (iOS and Android). For example, you can start a voice party from your phone or PC launcher, ring up a friend who is busy playing Fortnite on their PlayStation, and even transfer that call from your phone to your PC when you get back to your desk. This means that you can sit in on a voice call through the Epic PC Launcher while playing completely different games from your Epic library. Other benefits include a seamless approach to grouping friends together, as Epic says that if you're in a voice party with friends and everyone decides to open Fortnite, then the game will automatically drop you all into the same lobby together. This new feature is competing directly with Discord, which has been the go-to third-party app for users for several years. Epic's built-in alternative aims to let users bring their social list, voice channels, and digital avatar with them across multiple platforms and from game to game, whether you are on iOS, Android, PC, or console. Epic has also hinted that these voice and avatar systems will be integrated directly into Unreal Engine 6, and the tools will be offered to other developers in time. For now, it's currently rolling out to Fortnite, and Epic Parties will be available in Rocket League next year. According to Epic's year-in-review stats(https://www.gamespot.com/gallery/people-spent-more-but-played-less-on-the-epic-games-store-in-2025/2900-7449/), over $1 billion was spent in the store in 2025, and it reached an all-time record of 78 million monthly active users on PC. Earlier this year, Epic spoke more about its plans to further improve its digital storefront(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/epic-explains-its-blend-of-blockbusters-and-smaller-games-for-weekly-freebies/1100-6538882/). "Our goal is to keep building a storefront and launcher that players want to engage with and use to grow their game library, but we need to be able to connect players with the game they want to play at the time they want to play it," Kyle Billings, director of strategy and business operations at the Epic Games Store, said to GameSpot.

Final Fantasy Resonance Is Getting A Demo And A Sephiroth

!Game Informer News(https://gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/09/03/12367d3d/resonance02.jpg.webp) If you want to give Final Fantasy Resonance a shot before release, you're in luck. Sony and Square Enix announced during a State of Play that a demo for the game is available today ahead of its October 22 release. The game will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch 2, Switch, and PC. It was also revealed that Sephiroth will make an appearance in the game. Final Fantasy Resonance is a heavily overhauled port of the mobile game, Final Fantasy Brave Exvius, which featured myriad character cameos from various Final Fantasy games, so his appearance isn't too surprising (Cloud is also in the game), but it's nice to have a confirmation. !Game Informer News(https://gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/09/03/82694391/resonance01.jpg.webp)
