Project Hail Mary: Journey Among the Stars – Official Filmmakers’ Reaction

Watch as author Andy Weir and co-directors Phil Lord & Chris Miller react to early footage from the newly announced Project Hail Mary: Journey Among the Stars mixed reality game. Project Hail Mary: Journey Among the Stars is a brand-new mixed reality game from Maze Theory, developed in partnership with Amazon MGM Studios. Project Hail Mary: Journey Among the Stars will feature an entirely new, original chapter developed in collaboration with Andy Weir (author of Project Hail Mary) specifically for the game. Project Hail Mary: Journey Among the Stars will be available on major mixed reality and VR platforms in late 2026.

In Project Hail Mary: Journey Among the Stars, step into the role of Ryland Grace at a pivotal, untold moment in the Hail Mary mission. The ship’s systems are failing. Deep space grows increasingly uncertain. Using mixed reality, the Hail Mary itself bleeds into the player’s physical environment. They reach out to diagnose the problem, improvise the fix, and push the limits of what science and engineering can do under pressure. Humanity’s last hope is in the player’s hands.

At the heart of the experience is Rocky, the alien intelligence whose partnership with Grace defines the film’s emotional core. In Project Hail Mary: Journey Among the Stars, that bond isn’t something you watch develop. You build it yourself, through cooperation, problem-solving, and evolving trust.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows: Biggest Changes in Update 1.1.10 | PS5 Pro PSSR 2 Upgrade

Ubisoft just dropped Title Update 1.1.10 for Assassin’s Creed Shadows, and it’s packing some unexpected technical firepower. This update introduces PSSR 2 support for PlayStation 5 Pro, promising a cleaner, more stable 4K image across all graphics modes. From improved foliage density to sharper ray-traced reflections in feudal Japan, the visual leap is significant. Plus, a surprising addition for Nintendo Switch 2 players and a change to how you loot the Bo staff means there is plenty to dig into whether you’re playing on a console or a handheld.

This comprehensive breakdown covers the Assassin’s Creed Shadows 1.1.10 patch notes, detailing the implementation of Sony’s AI-powered PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR 2) and how it enhances the PS5 Pro experience. We also dive into the new Nintendo Switch 2 mouse and keyboard support, gameplay balance changes for the Bo staff weapon, and essential quest fixes. Whether you are looking for AC Shadows gameplay improvements or technical benchmarks for the PS5 Pro Performance and Quality modes, here is everything you need to know about the latest Ubisoft update.

This Mod Turns Cyberpunk 2077 into a Gritty VHS Tape

Cyberpunk 2077 may be approaching its sixth birthday and CD Projekt itself has ruled out further content, but modders are very much keeping the game alive — and this latest effort hit me right in my 80s fan feels.

TapePunk, from Tulired, emulates a VHS aesthetic that “provides a gritty, analog-inspired look for Cyberpunk 1977, avoiding over-the-top effects.” It’s described as “a simple tool for those seeking a cinematic, nostalgic atmosphere based on real-world media study and our memories.”

Cyberpunk 2077’s PS5 Pro Upgrades Detailed – IGN Daily Fix

In today’s Daily Fix:
Cyberpunk 2077 is getting another update, this time for the PS5 Pro. The new update brings enhanced ray tracing, more framerate options, and 4K resolution for the first time on console. The update is free, and the game itself is free if you’re a PS Plus Extra or Essentials member. In sadder news, Sony Pictures Entertainment went through a round of layoffs this morning. Hundreds of employees were affected, but no word yet on how this impacts their adaptations of hit games like Ghost of Tsushima and Helldivers 2. And finally, a Pokémon Go Regional Championship match has fans in an uproar as the winner was disqualified hours after he won.
