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 […]

On April 9, Ubisoft released the latest trailer for its upcoming open-world action game, Star Wars Outlaws. And as you might expect, this trailer is packed with small details, characters, hints at what the story will be about, and lots of Star Wars stu...
On April 9, after some teasing (and a leak) Ubisoft released a new trailer for its upcoming and highly-anticipated open-world Star Wars game, Star Wars Outlaws. The third-person action-adventure game is being developed by Massive—the same studio behind...
As we had correctly surmised, the Star Wars Outlaws story trailer also brought the release date announcement. The game is indeed launching sooner than originally thought (Disney had previously hinted at late 2024), being slated for August 30; however, that's also a bit later than some fans were hoping for, as some had even speculated the game could have launched on May the 4th. Anyway, as anticipated by GameStop promotional materials, pre-orders are now open, too. The base edition is priced at $69.99, as standard nowadays. The Gold Edition ($109.99) provides three days of early access and the Season Pass […]
Oops. Someone at Ubisoft accidentally pushed the wrong buttons on a YouTube trailer premiere for Star Wars Outlaws. The latest trailer for the open-world Star Wars game wasn’t published in full, but the premiere page went live alongside the video descr...
Marketing for Star Wars Outlaws is about to kick off in a big way, with the world premiere story trailer slated to air on Tuesday, April 9 at 9 AM Pacific Time/noon Eastern Time/6 PM Central European Time. Many fans are taking this as confirmation that the game will launch sooner rather than later. Ubisoft has historically published story trailers relatively close to the release dates, and there's also the fact that multiple countries have already rated the game, including South Korea, Brazil, Australia, and possibly the USA, given the ESRB rating spotted on the Ubisoft Store. Now, journalist Jordan […]
Earlier today, Ubisoft revealed it is not waiting for the recently announced Forward event (slated to air on June 10 live from Los Angeles) to show off Star Wars Outlaws again. The game in development at Massive Entertainment is getting a new world premiere story trailer next week, on Tuesday, April 9 at 9 AM Pacific Time/6 PM Central European Time. The news will certainly fuel speculation that Star Wars Outlaws might launch sooner than expected. A couple of months ago, rumors hinted that Ubisoft was internally aiming for a May release date. On the one hand, it would make […]
The upcoming Star Wars Outlaws from Massive Entertainment has been rated in Korea. The Korean Rating Board has just rated the upcoming Star Wars title with a "19+" rating, and this is likely due to the game including a poker-like mini-game as seen in the game's first trailer. For the sake of completeness, we've included the trailer below as well. The rating mentions "Realistic simulation of speculative behavior" as well as "a mini-game with content of in-game betting and dividends." It will be interesting to see how other regions will rate this title as other Star Wars installments have received lower […]
Yesterday, NVIDIA announced that Star Wars Outlaws, one of the year's most anticipated game releases, would support NVIDIA DLSS 3 and Reflex on PC at launch. The game will also integrate NVIDIA's RTX Direct Illumination alongside ray traced global illumination (RTGI) to offer what is being described as the most detailed Star Wars experience ever seen in a game, thanks to the combination of the Snowdrop Engine and NVIDIA's technologies: RTXDI figures out the most important light samples in Star Wars Outlaws to cast physically accurate ray-traced shadows. Performance remains fast thanks to RTXDI’s innovative design, and on GeForce RTX […]
Today, NVIDIA shared various announcements ahead of next week's Game Developers Conference. To begin with, one of the most anticipated games slated in 2024, Ubisoft Massive's Star Wars Outlaws, will feature NVIDIA DLSS 3 integration, ray traced effects, and Reflex. The game is also the highlight of this GeForce NOW Thursday, as it will also be playable via NVIDIA's cloud platform, with Ultimate subscribers able to take advantage of all the aforementioned technologies. Another long-awaited game scheduled to launch on August 20, the open world action RPG Black Myth: Wukong, will support NVIDIA DLSS 3.5 (Ray Reconstruction) and 'full ray […]
Ubisoft has reported their earnings for the third quarter of their fiscal year 2024 (which runs from the beginning of April 2023 to the end of March 2024) and things are looking somewhat up for the Assassin’s Creed publisher following rough patches over the last few years. With revenue of €606 million, Q3 was down a bit year-on-year, likely due to somewhat disappointing performance of Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, but Ubisoft is expecting a good Q4 due to Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown and Skull and Bones with Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot somewhat questionably referring to the latter as […]
After the packed year that was 2023, it feels like 2024 may be a bit more of a bridge year, although there’s still plenty for the action fan to look forward to over the next 12 months. A lot of this year’s action games are going big, with Rise of the Ronin and Star Wars Outlaws being full open world, and Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II at the very least being much larger than its predecessor (Ninja Theory hasn’t confirmed whether they’re going outright open-world yet). Certainly, everything on this list is pushing the technical bar hard, whether it be the […]
Think the first week of January is a slow one for news? Think again. A 13-year-old Tetris phenom has boldly gone where no one has gone before, beating the NES version of the classic puzzler by reaching a “kill screen” on level 157. Steam announced the ...
