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.

A few minutes ago, the official Twitter/X Star Wars Outlaws account revealed that the open world game set in George Lucas' beloved science fantasy universe has gone gold well before its planned August 30 launch. While it's not as much of an advance as Square Enix's Final Fantasy XVI, which went gold almost three months ahead of its planned debut, it's still ahead of schedule compared to most recent games, which usually only reach the gold phase a few weeks before the release. Traditionally, this phrase is used when a product is ready to be delivered and sent for mass […]

A new Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora update is now live on PC and consoles, introducing new improvements and features to the game developed by Ubisoft Massive. The 3.2 update, which weighs 2.4 GB on PlayStation 5, 3.1 GB on Xbox Series X|S, and 3 GB on PC, introduces a 40 FPS mode on consoles as well as Intel XeSS support on PC, though the patch notes don't specify if the game supports the latest version of the upscaler. The update also rolls back AMD FSR 3 temporarily to the previously used version to prevent visual artifacts from impacting the interpolation […]
Following the release of the Star Wars Outlaws story trailer, the launch date announcement, and the opening of pre-orders, Game Informer also published the latest digital issue with plenty of new info on the upcoming game. To start with, Ubisoft Massive clarified there won't be freeform space travel between planets in Star Wars Outlaws. Similar to Bethesda's Starfield, players will jump between the orbits of the planets they're allowed to visit. Creative Director Julian Gerighty explained: For planets, we wanted to have an orbit around them with lots of different points of interest, things to do, battles to get in, […]
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 […]
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 […]
Ubisoft Massive has released two updates for Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora this month, introducing several improvements to combat and exploration in the open world game while also fixing artifacts that appeared when using AMD FSR 3 on PC. Here's an overview shared by the development team: Increased maximum Direhorse riding speed Harvest while riding - It is now possible to harvest Arrow Stick Bushes and Dapophet Pods while riding a Direhorse. Direhorse aiming improved - Improved aiming with bows while mounted. Access stash while crafting - Stashed items can now be accessed directly when using the Crafting Table, Cooking Station […]
Nearly seven years after the game's announcement, Ubisoft Massive is finally about to release Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora. The first-person open world action/adventure game will launch on Thursday, December 7, for PC (Ubisoft Connect, Epic Games Store), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series S|X. It's the second game set in James Cameron's sci-fi universe after 2009's Avatar: The Game (which, interestingly enough, was also made by Ubisoft, albeit at the Montréal studio). That game was a mere tie-in, though, and was largely panned by critics when it came out despite selling over 2.7 million copies on brand name alone. Avatar: Frontiers […]
