Before The Game Awards 2025 showcase, we didn’t even know that Star Wars: Galactic Racer existed. A fresh leak suggests it will be out in less than a year from its initial reveal, penciling in one more important date on fall 2026’s still incredibly blank release calendar. An October 6, 2026 release date was briefly mentioned on Steam as part of the details for Galactic Racer‘s Deluxe Edition (via Wario64). That puts the Star Wars game firmly in fall blockbuster territory, a busy pre-holiday period publishers have been reluctant to plant their flag in this year as everyone tries to…
But the world looks quite different in 2026. Electrification might still be on for the masses in China and Europe, but the people who buy cars with price tags that look more like telephone numbers don’t want all-electric hypercars. The good times aren’t rolling Then there’s the parlous state of VW Group itself. Porsche is not having the best time of things after betting too heavily on EVs, which looks even worse in the vital US market thanks to Trump’s tariffs. Sales were down 15 percent in Q1 2026, the company reported earlier this month. At the VW Group level,…

So far, the Orion spacecraft and the SLS rocket seem to have fared pretty well.NASA says its initial assessments of the…

This coverage is made possible through a partnership between Grist, WABE, Atlanta’s NPR station; and WBEZ, a public radio station serving the Chicago metropolitan region.When most people think about national forests, they imagine vast Western landscapes: Alaska, the Rockies, the Pacific Northwest. But millions of acres of federal woodlands dot the eastern half of the country, too. These great swaths of vibrant ecosystems have long been free of roads, protected by a policy called, appropriately enough, the “roadless rule.”That may soon change.

Everyone who’s anyone in the gaming industry is currently having their hit game franchise turned into a movie or TV series. For Ubisoft, that means an Assassin’s Creed adaptation on Netflix and a new Far Cry series on FX. The latter is being run by Noah Hawley, whose illustrious credits include Fargo and Alien: Earth. Odds are he’ll make a good TV show, but it’s not clear he understands how the games he’s adapting really works. The showrunner recently explained why he’s penning original stories for the Far Cry TV adaptation rather than borrowing from Ubisoft’s existing games. On the…

It took just a few months of President Donald Trump’s second term for Palantir employees to question their company’s commitments to civil liberties. Last fall, Palantir seemed to become the technological backbone of Trump’s immigration enforcement machinery, providing software identifying, tracking, and helping deport immigrants on behalf of the Department of Homeland Security, when current and former employees started ringing the alarm. Around that time, two former employees reconnected by phone. Right as they picked up the call, one of them asked, “Are you tracking Palantir’s descent into fascism?” “That was their greeting,” the other former employee says. “There’s this…
Tesla completely ended its free lifetime Supercharging offer way back in 2018, but it has given customers the perk for certain promotions since then. It brought back free Supercharging for Model S and X a couple of times in 2019, for instance. The automaker’s latest offer is for new purchases for a Model 3 Premium or Performance vehicle in North America. On its website, Tesla has announced that it’s including one year of free supercharging with a Model 3 Premium or Performance, though the offer is “subject to change or end at any time.”As Electrek notes, this is a nice…
