Bad news BioShock fans: you won’t be able to stream to your friends and followers on Twitch.

After users noticed that BioShock: The Collection could not be streamed, they took to 2K’s forums to learn that the feature is currently not supported.

A 2K representative replied in the forum saying, “If you’re playing BioShock: The Collection, there’s a good chance you’d like to stream your adventures in Rapture and/or Columbia. Unfortunately, streaming BioShock: The Collection isn’t an option right now. We will update this article should this situation change.”

It is definitely an odd omission, considering PlayStation 4 and Xbox One streaming is almost native to consoles. It turns out, developers have control whether their games can be streamed or not. While 2K’s statement on the matter does not suggest the feature was blocked or removed completely, there is hope streaming support could be added in the future.

This is may be the first notable instance of a game lacking streaming support for its gameplay. Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes prevented users from streaming certain cutscenes in an attempt to block spoilers. Sony also blocked users from archiving streams of Until Dawn on Twitch, possibly in an attempt to encourage people to buy the game.

BioShock: The Collection is not the first game to lack full streaming support. Early into the launch of the PS4, Sony removed streaming support for Playroom after it was found users on Twitch were uploading footage that was not safe for work. Because playroom used the PlayStation Camera to record people’s movements, some gamers used it for inappropriate purposes.

Digital Trends reached out to developer Blind Squirrel Entertainment and 2K Games and will update this article upon reply.

Want full Discord perks? Prepare to prove you’re an adult New teen-by-default rules start in March, gating age-restricted servers and stages.

If you’re used to hopping between gaming servers, sharing memes, or catching up with friends on Discord, be ready for a small twist in how the platform works. Starting March 2026, Discord will introduce a global age verification system that automatically places every user into a "teen-appropriate experience" until they prove they’re an adult. To fully unlock age-restricted content and certain features, users will need to verify their age via face-based AI estimation or a government-issued ID.

According to Discord’s official announcement, this change is part of a broader safety push to control access to adult or graphic material and comply with international safety expectations. But before you panic that Discord is turning into a DMV, it’s worth noting what changes and what stays the same, if you don’t verify right away.

Your next Xbox might not even be made by Microsoft A 2027 flagship plus partner-built devices could turn Xbox into a flexible, PC-style ecosystem.

The next generation of Xbox may not be just one console sitting under your TV. According to reports from Windows Central, Microsoft has locked in plans for a 2027 next-gen Xbox, but the bigger shift could be how it’s built and who builds it.

Instead of a single, fixed design, Microsoft is reportedly exploring a PC-style approach, where traditional partners (like ASUS and Lenovo) could release their own Xbox-branded hardware. Think of it as offerings in different sizes, power levels, and prices. One model might be compact or handheld, another a high-end performance beast, while Microsoft sets the platform rules and software layer. In other words, Xbox may start to look less like one console and more like an ecosystem.

Your next PlayStation could pack 30GB memory, if this PS6 rumor holds The same claim also points to a 24GB handheld, hinting at a shared game target.

A PlayStation 6 rumor is putting a surprisingly specific number on next-gen expectations. The claim from leaker KeplerL2 says Sony’s next console could ship with 30GB of GDDR7 memory, a jump designed to give modern games more room to breathe.

That same leak ties the console talk to a PlayStation handheld with 24GB, expected to use LPDDR5X instead of GDDR7. Two different devices, two different memory types, but a similar message, Sony may be aiming for fewer compromises when games scale across form factors.
