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.

Today Capcom said it's beginning a "review" of the leaderboard, so that it can "take action" against users who posted...

I'd made all the Tavs and Durges I'd ever wanted to play as, and then a few more just for good measure. I'd conquered honour mode with ease. I'd "accidentally" triggered...
