If you love nothing more than good data visualization, Googles latest Sheets update will be right up your alley. The company has begun rolling out an upgrade to the apps Gemini side panel, a feature it introduced this past summer, to give its AI agent the ability to generate more in-depth insights about the data in your spreadsheets. Tapping the new Analyze for insights shortcut in Sheets will prompt Gemini to offer insights on contextual trends, patterns, and correlations between different variables in your data, according to Google. The agent will also create charts based on your data, which you can insert as static images in your document. Depending on the complexity of the prompt, Gemini will use Python code to complete the request. Google There are a few notable limitations to the features current implementation. For instance, Google notes that once youve inserted a chart it cannot be modified. Additionally, any charts Gemini generates won't be directly linked to your data, so they wont automatically update after you make changes. Separately, Google recommends users be as specific as possible when prompting Gemini to provide data insights. For the most accurate results, ensure your data is in a consistent format, with clear headers and no missing values, the company adds. You can use the updated Gemini side panel in Sheets if you pay for Google One AI Premium, or if your company is a Business or Enterprise Workspace customer with a Standard or Plus plan. Anyone with a Gemini Education, Gemini Education Premium, Gemini Business or Gemini Enterprise add-on will also receive access. Google expects to complete the rollout of this feature by February 20, so you might not see in your version of Sheets right away.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/ai/gemini-can-now-do-more-complex-data-analysis-in-google-sheets-191218214.html?src=rss

Sony just revealed some new games available for PlayStation Plus subscribers in February. The lineup isnt particularly exciting, but does include some solid entries like Payday 3 and High on Life. The company also made an announcement that could impact current PS4 owners, saying that PS4 games will no longer be a key benefit and will only be occasionally offered starting in 2026. This is something of a bummer, but understandable given that the PS4 came out in 2013. Heck, even the PS5 is approaching its fifth birthday. This wont impact titles that have already been downloaded, as subscribers will continue to have access to games as long as they remain a PS Plus member. Sony says it may still provide titles that can be playable on both PS4 and PS5 consoles after next year. Now onto the games. Payday 3, available for PS5 only, is a great entry in the co-op bank-robbing franchise. This is a four-player title thats set several years after the events of Payday 2. Players get to rob banks and even take hostages. Its a good and bloody time. High on Life is another FPS, but with tongue firmly planted in cheek. All of the weapons talk, for one, and most of them are voiced by Justin Roiland (who originally voiced both Rick and Morty of Rick and Morty.) Roiland has been mired in a sexual assault scandal, but theres an option to turn off the chatty guns. It'll be available for both PS4 and PS5. Pac-Man World Re-Pac is a remake (or Re-Pac) of a 2004 platformer. This refresh offers an improved UI, fine-tuned mechanics and updated visuals. Its actually a pretty solid platformer. Its no Mario Odyssey or Astro Bot, but it gets the job done. It also includes the original arcade game, though it must be unlocked. This one will also be available for PS4 and PS5. All three of the aforementioned titles will be available for download on February 4. Of course, PlayStation Plus both gives and takes each month. Some games are about to leave the service. Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, Need for Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered and The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe will disappear on February 3.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/gaming/playstation/februarys-modest-playstation-plus-selection-includes-high-on-life-and-payday-3-184559839.html?src=rss

Sony is making a PlayStation Network login optional for several of its single-player games on PC. The company says that you'll no longer need one for God of War Ragnarök, Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered, Marvels Spider-Man 2 (which arrives on Steam and the Epic Games Store this Thursday) or The Last of Us Part II Remastered (which hits PC on April 3). However, those who do sign in with a PSN account while playing those titles will get some in-game goodies such as cosmetic outfits, early unlocks of certain gear and other resources. They'll also be able to unlock trophies and have access to a friends management feature. For months, players have been protesting the need to link their PSN account to their Steam or Epic Games Store purchases to play single-player games. It at least to some degree makes sense for multiplayer elements of games like Ghost of Tsushima. But as evidenced by Sony swiftly dropping the requirement from Helldivers 2 after a major backlash from players, the PSN account linking strategy has by and large been a mess. Meanwhile, Sony has revealed more details about what you can expect from Marvels Spider-Man 2 on PC. The port from Nixxes includes multiple ray-tracing options, along with upscaling and frame generation. The game also has pretty modest minimum specs, so it might still run decently on a laptop that you've been rocking for several years.
