Apple is increasingly focusing on building its own devices and expanding its ecosystem by taking steps towards a more native experience for users and relying less on third-party accessories. While the Cupertino-based tech giant's HomePod and AppleTV have left quite the mark in the smart home category, it generally relies more on outsourcing cameras and other hardware for smart homes. Now, a new report suggests that the company intends to create a fully integrated experience by developing its own smart home accessories. Gurman hints about Apple working on making smart home products like security cameras for a more integrated experience […]

Hot on the heels of the tech-focused chat with Cyberpunk 2077 developer CD Projekt RED we published earlier this week, today we've got another brief technical talk with Alan Wake 2 developer Remedy Entertainment.

After the praiseworthy launch, Remedy took some time […]
