It's still, nearly two decades later, a great choice to play with friends, blasting through crowds of shambling undead and trying to survive against all odds until finishing a level. And now, due to a massive discount on Steam, the game's player count has shot up to its highest number in nearly a year.

macOS 26 is Apples upcoming operating system for Mac computers. It will likely be announced at the WWDC 2025 keynote ahead of a public release this fall. Apple is expected to expand itsApple Intelligence features, as it still needs to catch up with Google, OpenAI, and other top rivals. Heres everything you need to know about the upcoming macOS 26 operating system update.Wait, macOS 26?For the first time since OS X, Apple plans to tweak the name of the Mac's operating system. While it's still expected to be called macOS, Apple might copy Microsoft's approach by naming it macOS 26 instead of the once-expected macOS 19.According toBloombergsMark Gurman, macOS 26 will be the next version of macOS as Apple begins identifying software updates by the upcoming year (like a new cars model year). Apples other OS updates will reportedly follow the same naming convention.Gurman explains that the intent is to bring consistency to its branding and move away from an approach that can be confusing to customers and developers. All of Apples software updates to this point have been named sequentially based on their original release date. As a result, iOS 18 launched at the same time as watchOS 12, macOS 15, and visionOS 2. Going forward, they will all be aligned, to the delight of users and developers everywhere.However, this macOS 26 rebrand suggests Apple is dodging the AI race, not leading it.Is Apple still giving macOS 26 a name?Rumors previously suggested Apple was teeing up macOS Mammoth, as the Cupertino company asked for a trademark extension of this name in 2021.Mammoth was rumored for 2021 when Apple unveiled Monterey, and again in 2022. For 2025, its unclear what Apple will call macOS 26. Internally, the software is known as Cheer.However, with this recent macOS 26 naming rumor, Apple might be done with Californian names for its operating system.When will Apple announce macOS 26?Image source: Apple IncIf Apple sticks to tradition, it should announce macOS 26 during the WWDC 2025 keynote. The Worldwide Developers Conferencewill take place from June 9 to June 13. While previously held at the San Jose McEnery Convention Center in California, WWDC changed to a pre-recorded video presentation when the pandemic started. Now, the company also invites the media and developers to watch it from the Apple Park campus in Cupertino.Release datemacOS 26 is expected to be released in September 2025. Apple usually says the new system update will be available in the fall. However, the company has released Mac software updates in late September for the past few years.Some rumors say Applewont make every major macOS 26 feature available all at oncedue to delays related to Apple Intelligence.In fact, the most impressive features might not arrive until the first half of 2026.Rumored macOS 26 featuresSo far, the main rumored features are related to the expansion ofApple Intelligenceand a major redesign. Heres what we know:A major redesign is comingBloombergs Mark Gurman reportsthat macOS 26 will fundamentally change the look of the operating systems and make Apples various software platforms more consistent. According to the journalist, Apple will unify the look of iOS, iPadOS, and macOS to deliver a more straightforward experience through the platform. This is why the company might move to macOS 26 instead of 16.Apple will adjust the look of icons, menus, apps, windows, and system buttons. This is said to be the most significant redesign for the iPhone since iOS 7 and for the Mac since Big Sur. The primary goal behind these design overhauls is to bring more cohesion to Apples disparate operating systems.Besides that, in January,Front Page Techsuggested iOS 26 might get a redesign inspired byvisionOS, especially the Camera app. With several layers of interaction, some have suggested Apple might need to make the Camera app simple again, and redesigning it with elements of the visionOS UI might make it more accessible for the average user.Then, in April, John Prosseroffered a look at what he thinks will be Apples iOS 26 redesign, after Bloombergs Mark Gurman said the leaked images were based on either very old builds or vague descriptions.Front Page Techhost Jon Prosser claims that Gurmans post actually prompted him to go back and take a closer look at the leaked iOS 26 build. When he did, he noticed that tapping on icons changed their shape. The icons suddenly became more rounded, similar to the look of the apps on visionOS, but not quite a perfect circle.Potential leak of iOS 19 redesign. Image source:Front Page TechImage source:Front Page Tech Image source: Front Page TechOther changes in iOS 26 uncovered this time around included on-screen elements shimmering when the phone moves, rounder brightness, and volume sliders in Control Center, new animated tabs at the bottom of Apples first-party apps, the search field at the bottom of the Messages app, and subtle visual changes to the Settings app.Still, Gurman only reshared his old post on X, saying the images dont represent what Apple is actually working on.Other rumors suggest Apple could redesign these operating systems asthe new Apple Invites and Apple Sports app could be proof of this design change. However, it would be interesting if the company made the design language of its major systems similar.Apple Intelligence has a long way to goApple didn't have any new Apple Intelligence features to introduce during themacOS Sequoia cycle. That said, more advanced features will come in later 2025 or 2026 with macOS 26.According toBloombergs Mark Gurman, the first version of Apple Intelligence only offers domestic changes. However, a ChatGPT-like model is coming at a later date:These upcoming upgrades will make Siri easier to use on a day-to-day basis, but its not the brain transplant that the service really needs. Siri is still based on an outdated infrastructure AI models that have been overtaken by the technology used by ChatGPT and Googles Gemini. Siri hasnt yet been rebuilt for the generative AI age, even if Apple is trying to create the impression that it has.Its not just the LLM Siri chatbot that wont be released until 2026. Gurman says that a larger-than-usual number of features scheduled for macOS 16 (beyond the new Siri) are already postponed until spring 2026 (when macOS 16.4 debuts).In March, Apple announced that thelong-awaited personalized Siri experience in Apple Intelligence would be available in the coming year as the company delayed its most important AI feature to date.Siri GPTAccording toBloombergsMark Gurman, Apples new version ofSiriwill employmore advanced large language models (LLMs)to allow users to have long back-and-forth conversations with the virtual assistant. Sources also claim that LLM Siri, as Apple employees have dubbed it, will be capable of handling more sophisticated requests even faster.Apple is currently testing the upgraded Siri oniPhones, iPads, and Macs as a standalone app, but the goal is to replace Siri with the new version eventually. Apple plans to introduce LLM Siri next year as part of iOS 26 and macOS 26 (codenamed Luck and Cheer).As was the case with Apple Intelligence this fall, the new Siri reportedly wont launch alongside the new hardware in 2025. Rather, Apple will announce it next year and start rolling out the upgraded Siri as early as spring 2026.The revamped Siri will rely on new Apple AI models to interact more like a human and handle tasks in a way thats closer to ChatGPT and Googles Gemini, Gurman explains in his report. It will also make expanded use of App Intents, which allow for more precise control of third-party apps. And the software will be able to tap into features from Apple Intelligence, such as the ability to write and summarize text.New emojiNew emoji coming to iOS 18.
