What's New in Gaming June 2026: Week of June 14 Recap
Another week, another stack of gear put through its paces. This week on Gaming Picked, we spent a lot of time staring at pixels – specifically, the very pretty pixels on high-end OLED gaming monitors. If you've been on the fence about dropping serious cash on one of these, we've got the definitive word. Beyond the displays, we checked in with Logitech's latest iteration of their flagship wireless mouse to see if it still holds the crown, and put a premium SteelSeries headset through its paces. It's not all glamour, though; we also looked at the unsung heroes of your desk setup: a mousepad and a USB-C hub. So, if you're wondering what's new in gaming June 2026 and what hardware actually matters, consider this your two-minute digest.
If your rig is a tangle of cables and you're constantly swapping peripherals, this hub might just streamline your setup without breaking the bank.
This 1440p OLED monitor delivers stunning visuals, but you need to weigh if the price tag aligns with your specific gaming priorities.
Sometimes the simplest upgrades make the biggest difference; if your mouse is constantly running off its mat, this is a cheap fix worth considering.
Logitech's latest wireless mouse is still incredibly good, but for many, the previous generation remains a smarter buy unless you demand absolute cutting-edge performance.
If you're dropping serious cash on an OLED monitor, this comparison tells you which 1440p panel actually earns its premium price for competitive gaming.
This headset offers top-tier audio and features, but you need to be serious about sound quality to justify the investment over more budget-friendly options.
Gaming Picked weekly recap — week of June 14, 2026
Another week, another stack of gear put through its paces. This week on Gaming Picked, we spent a lot of time staring at pixels – specifically, the very pretty pixels on high-end OLED gaming monitors. If you’ve been on the fence about dropping serious cash on one of these, we’ve got the definitive word. Beyond the displays, we checked in with Logitech’s latest iteration of their flagship wireless mouse to see if it still holds the crown, and put a premium SteelSeries headset through its paces. It’s not all glamour, though; we also looked at the unsung heroes of your desk setup: a mousepad and a USB-C hub. So, if you’re wondering what’s new in gaming June 2026 and what hardware actually matters, consider this your two-minute digest.
What to read first
If you only read one thing this week, make it the ASUS ROG Swift PG27AQDM vs LG 27GR95QE: The Ultimate OLED Gaming Monitor Showdown. OLED monitors are still an investment, and our comparison breaks down exactly where each panel excels, helping you make an informed decision rather than just buying the latest buzz. Knowing which compromises you’re making is crucial at this price point.
What else mattered this week
Our Anker USB-C Hub Review digs into a surprisingly useful piece of kit. If your rig is a tangle of cables and you’re constantly swapping peripherals, this hub might just streamline your setup without breaking the bank. Sometimes the simplest upgrades make the biggest difference, as highlighted in our VicTsing XXL Mousepad Review; if your mouse is constantly running off its mat, this is a cheap fix worth considering.
For those still chasing the perfect peripheral, the Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2 Review determines if Logitech’s latest wireless mouse still holds the apex predator title. It’s incredibly good, but for many, the previous generation remains a smarter buy unless you demand absolute cutting-edge performance. Finally, the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless Review explores a premium audio powerhouse. This headset offers top-tier audio and features, but you need to be serious about sound quality to justify the investment over more budget-friendly options.
Looking ahead
Next week, we’re diving into more budget-friendly options for peripherals and eyeing a few upcoming software releases. We’ll be keeping an ear to the ground for any surprising announcements from the smaller studios.
