As 2023 attracts to an in depth, it’s time to look again on the yr that was. It was an ideal yr for leisure and a not-so-great yr for the individuals who truly made that leisure. It was the yr Twitter died, and the yr Matter largely didn’t launch. Devices bought gadgety-er, pictures bought what-is-a-photo-ier, and generative AI was out of the blue in all places.
Now by means of the top of the yr, we’ll recap the highs and lows in devices, social media, and leisure, and look forward at how 2024 is shaping up (spoiler: much more AI). We’ll discuss our favourite films and TV reveals of the yr, together with one of the best stuff on Max, Apple TV Plus, Prime, and Disney Plus, and our favourite video games on each platform, from PlayStation, Xbox, and Swap to PC and Apple Arcade.
