The new Productivity and Jobs task force will look into the "economic impact of new general-purpose technologies," including AI, to help the Fed make better policy decisions.

Capcom has a busy 2026 in store, with numerous big video game releases already slated for the year. But while many of those upcoming titles are from established franchises like Resident Evil and Onimusha, one of the most exciting is the all-new sci-fi action game, Pragmata. The game launches on April 24 and preorders are now live on PlayStation 5, Switch 2, and Xbox Series X, with a surprisingly last-gen price of $60. Pragmata is also coming to PC, and at Fanatical, both the Standard and Digital Deluxe Editions are 17% off.
Pragmata Preorder Bonuses
Pragmata Preorder Bonus Costumes
Preordering Pragmata gets you the Neo Bushido costume for Hugh and the Neo Kunichi outfit for Diana. These bonus in-game cosmetics are included with all physical and digital preorders of the game.
The physical edition of Pragmata includes the base game on, PS5, Switch 2, or Xbox Series X, plus the preorder bonus costumes if you purchase your copy before launch. Note that the Switch 2 edition is a Game Key-Card release--that means none of the game data is included on the cartridge. Instead, it acts as a physical DRM key that grants you access to the digital version of the game. You'll have to download the game to your Switch 2 before you can start playing. Pragmata will take up an estimated 17GB of storage space on your Switch 2's internal hard drive or microSD Express card.
Physical preorders are available at Amazon for $60, and we expect more retailers will have the game soon. Digital preorders are also available on consoles and PC.
Speaking of the PC version of the game, Pragmata preorders are currently discounted at Fanatical. The Standard Edition includes the same preorder bonuses as the console versions and is priced at $49.79 (was $60), while the Digital Deluxe Edition is priced at $58 (was $70) and nicludes two more outfits each for Diana and Hugh, additional weapon skins, background music tracks, new gestures for Diana, and you can browse through the concept art of the game via the Data Library.
Set in the distant future, Pragmata puts players in the space boots of Hugh, an astronaut stranded on a lunar research station. With the defense mechanisms of the facility activated and hunting him down, Hugh finds an unlikely ally in his quest to escape: Diana, an android who resembles a young girl. While Diana isn't a fighter, she can ride shotgun on Hugh's back and hack them so that their weak points can be exposed. Hugh can then finish them off, using his arsenal of weapons. Together, the duo will have to dodge the hostile machines and solve puzzles on the fly if they hope to return to Earth.
