Star Wars Outlaws, the open-world action game from Massive Entertainment, is coming to Nintendo Switch 2 on Sept. 4, publisher Ubisoft announced Friday. A Switch 2 port of this graphically intensive game — ray-traced lighting is a foundational element of its look on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and Windows PC — will be an important feather in the console’s cap. It’s another sign that Nintendo is determined to establish the Switch 2 as a home for ports of AAA third-party games, which took a while to come to the original Nintendo Switch because of its underpowered hardware. Of course, we’ll have to see how well titles like Star Wars Outlaws and Cyberpunk 2077 actually look and perform on the Switch 2. In a brief glimpse of gameplay footage released Friday, the game appears to be running at 30 frames per second, which is the frame rate of the quality mode on PS5 and Xbox Series X. Star Wars Outlaws will be available on Switch 2 starting September 4, 2025! pic.twitter.com/Rs1FcobSon— Star Wars Outlaws (@StarWarsOutlaws) April 18, 2025 The Switch 2 version of Star Wars Outlaws will arrive almost exactly one year after the game’s launch, which came at the end of August 2024. Alongside the announcement of the Switch 2 port on Friday, Ubisoft released a demo of the game on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X. Players can now try out a Tatooine-based chunk of Star Wars Outlaws that includes dogfighting in orbit above the planet, battles with factions such as the Hutt Cartel and Tusken Raiders, a visit to Mos Eisley, and the card game Kessel Sabacc — although it’s worth noting that the demo is limited to three hours of play, and progress in it will not carry over to the full game. It may seem curious for Ubisoft to release a demo of Star Wars Outlaws more than seven and a half months after launching the game, but there are likely a few different factors at play here. For one thing, Ubisoft said in mid-February, during the investor call for its third-quarter 2024-2025 fiscal year earnings report, that the game had continued to fall short of the publisher’s sales expectations. So it makes sense that the company would try new things, like a demo, in an attempt to bring in new players. Secondly, now seems like a good time to get people to try Star Wars Outlaws. At Star Wars Celebration Japan 2025 on Friday, Ubisoft showed a trailer for A Pirate’s Fortune, the second story expansion for the game. Scheduled to be released on May 15, the add-on features a storyline in which Kay Vess (and her adorable merqaal companion, Nix) works with the space pirate Hondo Ohnaka, who may be familiar to Star Wars fans from his appearances on the beloved animated series The Clone Wars. Here’s the synopsis from Ubisoft: Embark on a mysterious adventure with Kay and Nix to explore the Khepi system and learn what it takes to be a true leader. Team up with legendary pirate Hondo Ohnaka and face off against Stinger Tash and her Rokana Raiders as you infiltrate the Khepi Tomb to uncover the secrets and hidden treasures it holds. Along the way, you’ll discover the Miyuki Trade League who offer new rewards for the Trailblazer in exchange for smuggling dangerous goods across the galaxy. But perhaps the most notable reason to jump in now is that even for players who have already tried Star Wars Outlaws, it may be worth giving the game another shot. Following the lukewarm reception at launch, Massive Entertainment released a number of significant updates that made major changes to elements such as the stealth mechanics. In a reappraisal of Star Wars Outlaws in December, following the rollout of those patches, Luke Plunkett wrote at Aftermath that the game is now “markedly improved” and comes “pretty close” to achieving its goal of being “maybe the most Star Wars game ever made.”

Deal pricing and availability subject to change after time of publication.If you’re in the middle of upgrading your home setup—or just trying to dodge monthly subscriptions—this $45.97 deal on StackSocial might catch your eye. It’s a bundle that gives you a lifetime license for Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2019 and Windows 11 Pro. And not some limited trial or stripped-down version either. You get full access to the classic Office suite—Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and even the lesser-used ones like Publisher and Access. These are the 2019 versions, so not the very latest, but still more than enough for most work or school needs. And it’s not Microsoft 365, so there's no cloud-based storage or collaboration features, but it is a one-time purchase you install directly on your PC.What you’re getting with Office 2019 is pretty straightforward. You install it on one Windows machine, and it stays there forever. Features like Excel’s new data analysis tools, PowerPoint’s improved animations, and Outlook’s updated contact handling are all included. Just keep in mind, this license isn’t tied to your Microsoft account but rather to your device, so transferring it to another PC later might not be possible. Also worth noting: it won’t work on older systems like Windows 7 or 8. You’ll need Windows 10 or 11 to run it smoothly.And that’s where the Windows 11 Pro part of the bundle comes in. If your machine can handle it (and yes, you should double-check that TPM 2.0 and UEFI are a go), this gives you the Pro version—ideal for work use or heavier productivity. It supports features like BitLocker for encryption and all the snap layouts and desktops you’d expect from Windows 11. It’s designed to work on up to two devices, which is helpful if you’re running both a laptop and desktop. Gamers might appreciate the DirectX 12 Ultimate compatibility too. But again, if your PC is too old to support the upgrade natively, this won’t work as a shortcut past that. Bottom line: this is a solid bundle for anyone who wants essential tools and OS access without monthly fees—as long as your hardware is ready.

The Apple Sports app just introduced a new feature called Game Card Sharing. This lets users generate digital game cards that carry information about a specific match. The cards can be generated for upcoming, live and completed games. In the latter two cases, the score will be displayed. The cool part about these cards is that they are shareable across iMessage or via social media platforms. I could see this being useful in a group chat with friends, as a handy way to keep track of an ongoing match. Just look for the share button on the upper-right side of each card. There is one caveat. It requires the latest version of iOS, so it might be time to finally strap in for an update. These cards work with a whole bunch of sports leagues, including the NBA, MLB, NHL and even stuff like the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix. For the uninitiated, Apple Sports is a free iPhone app that delivers real-time scores and various stats. It also displays useful stuff like broadcast information. It even lets users pin real-time scores to the lock screen.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/apps/the-apple-sports-app-now-lets-users-create-and-share-game-cards-184235076.html?src=rss

Robbie Williams’ legendary 2003 Knebworth Festival performance isn’t just a milestone in British music history — it’s also a key moment in Better Man. To bring this iconic concert to life on screen, Wētā FX faced the challenge of blending archival footage from the real show with scenes filmed on a replica stage built in Serbia. The team used a combination of digital set extensions and precise VFX artistry to match every detail, ensuring the recreated environment felt authentic and seamless alongside the original footage. The result is a flawless visual tribute that captures the scale, energy, and emotion of one of the UK’s most unforgettable live performances.

As the cost of a college education has ballooned to nearly $100,000 a year, a new generation of workers may be opting out of a four-year degree—and seeking out trade jobs instead. Among Gen Z, blue-collar jobs in industries like plumbing and construction have grown more appealing, promising job security and decent pay. A survey conducted by the Harris Poll last year found that Gen Z expressed a marked interest in moving into the trades, and that they were more likely to view those jobs positively when compared to corporate roles. The trades are also desperately in need of younger workers, as they struggle to meet demand and find skilled workers. That’s especially true in the manufacturing industry: A new Deloitte report estimates that within the next decade, manufacturers may need to fill 3.8 million open roles, as people age out of the workforce and more jobs are created. President Trump’s far-reaching tariffs could also drive up the labor shortage in the manufacturing industry. A recent Goldman Sachs analysis concluded that the tariffs are likely to create 100,000 new manufacturing jobs, according to Axios. In fact, the manufacturing industry has seen significant growth since the pandemic—in part, driven by initiatives to create more semiconductor and clean-energy jobs. But unlike other trades, the manufacturing sector may not be able to rely on renewed interest from a new crop of young workers. It seems, manufacturing jobs don’t hold the same allure for Gen Z workers; in surveys, they have shown little desire to engage with industrial work due to concerns over wages and safety. A study by the workplace safety software company Soter Analytics found that one in five Gen Z respondents believed industrial work paid poorly, and a quarter of them also did not view industrial work as safe. Another sticking point for Gen Z is flexibility, something young workers repeatedly cite as a major priority. As the Deloitte survey notes, manufacturing executives are aware this presents a challenge in an industry that typically relies on in-person work with fixed schedules—but many of them also reported that offering flexible arrangements like splitting or swapping shifts had helped increase retention. (By contrast, other jobs in the trades can offer more flexibility or allow workers to set their own hours.) But perhaps the greatest hurdle to luring young workers to manufacturing jobs may be that Gen Z often wants to feel a sense of purpose at work. Job satisfaction tends to be especially low among blue-collar workers: According to a recent survey by the Pew Research Center, only 43% of those workers said they were very satisfied with their jobs, as compared to 53% of employees in other industries. Younger workers were even less likely to be satisfied than their older counterparts—and also less likely to view their job as a career. If manufacturing employers can’t find a way to address issues like job satisfaction and flexibility, they may continue struggling to appeal to Gen Z workers.

Vollebak has consistently pushed the boundaries of material science and fashion, and their latest iteration of the Full Metal Jacket is no exception. Following the groundbreaking original and a stainless steel version, they’ve now unveiled the Gold Edition, a truly radical piece of wearable technology that redefines what a jacket can be. Originally launched in 2020, the Full Metal Jacket was born from an exploration into the potential of copper. This metal, renowned for its natural antibacterial, antiviral, and conductive properties, takes centre stage in this gleaming gold edition. Vollebak has masterfully woven over 11 kilometres of fine copper thread into a high-performance garment that is as much a visual statement as it is a feat of engineering. Designer: Vollebak The jacket’s construction is a testament to innovation. Hundreds of thousands of moving copper parts work together, creating a dynamic silhouette that seems to warp and ripple like water in the light. This isn’t just about aesthetics; the sheer amount of copper lends the jacket its inherent anti-microbial properties, a concept that first garnered attention for the original Full Metal Jacket, earning it the moniker of “the virus-killing coat of the future” by Wired and a spot on TIME’s Best Inventions list. Beyond its futuristic appearance and health-conscious construction, the Gold Edition of the Full Metal Jacket is a high-performance piece designed with functionality in mind. It boasts a three-layered material engineered in Switzerland by Schoeller, comprising 59.5% copper, along with polyurethane, polyamide, and other metals. This composition ensures the jacket is not only striking but also highly waterproof, windproof, and breathable. Practicality hasn’t been overlooked. The jacket features a fully seam-sealed construction for maximum waterproofness and a total of seven pockets to keep your essentials secure. These include fleece-lined zipped side pockets, giant front bellows pockets with storm flaps, zipped upper chest pockets, and an internal zipped pocket. Details like the heavy-duty two-way metal front zipper, adjustable cuffs with metal snaps, and water-resistant Riri zippers further underscore the jacket’s premium construction. A high front collar with a fleece-lined chinguard adds an extra layer of comfort and protection. While the Gold Edition is produced in extremely limited quantities and is available via pre-order, its conceptual impact on the future of technical fashion is significant. Vollebak continues to challenge conventional ideas about clothing, transforming industrial-grade metal into a wearable second skin that blends cutting-edge science with avant-garde design. This jacket isn’t just clothing; it’s a conversation starter, a collector’s item, and a bold step into the future of what our garments can be.
