Big Walk, House House’s cooperative puzzler that relies heavily on proximity chat and letting players just kinda wander around an island and figure it all out without much guidance, is one of the best games of the year. However, it skipped Xbox when it launched in August, and while that isn’t that uncommon these days, anyone who plays games primarily on Microsoft’s system is probably wondering if the game will ever come to Xbox Series X/S. House House has now put out a statement about why it chose to skip over the system, and has said flatly it is due to the ongoing BDS boycott protesting Microsoft’s complicity in Israel’s ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people.  The statement, which was posted on the company’s social media channels and the official Big Walk website, includes resources for those who are unaware of the BDS movement to read or watch, including the protest’s own website outlining how Microsoft tech has allegedly been used by Israeli military in surveillance of the Palestinian people, and its goals in urging people to boycott the company’s products, including Xbox.

PS5 and PS4 players taking advantage of PS Plus to play GTA 5 and GTA Online better get their hours in because their days are numbered. GTA 5 is being removed from the PS Plus catalogue just two days before GTA 6’s launch in November. GTA 5 has sold an eye-watering 230 million copies since its 2013 launch, so you'd imagine most who are interested in experiencing Rockstar’s sweeping and beautiful take on Los Angeles have already done so. But if you’re one of the few who hasn't, you have until November 17 to get it done via PS Plus. Sony has been warning PS5 players about the change. “If you’re counting down the days until GTA 6 arrives on PS5 on November 19, why not take a trip to Los Santos in the meantime?” the message said. “GTA 5 is available to play in the Game Catalog for PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium members, but only until November 17. So whether you’ve yet to experience the tale of Franklin, Michael, and Trevor, or want to revisit it before Jason and Lucia’s Vice City story begins, now’s the time.” The popup was followed by a prompt to preorder GTA 6.

Apple’s first swing in the foldables market, the iPhone Duo, has already made a huge splash before it’s even available to buy. The foldables segment has been overrun by Android devices, and all eyes have been patiently waiting for Apple to make its move. And the Duo’s design confirms the popularity of Samsung’s Galaxy Fold 8 and Google’s original Pixel Fold: Shorter and wider seems to be the sweet spot, as opposed to the more traditional taller folding phone designs we see with something like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra.

Not long after its spring release, the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra became the world’s fastest selling Android phone of the year, even with a price tag of over $1,000. Its biggest selling point is the brand-new Privacy Display feature, which can dim screen visibility from the side and make snooping nearly impossible. Drew Blackard, Samsung’s SVP of Mobile Product Management, touts the software as a more flexible alternative to stick-on privacy screen protectors. “The user can decide when it turns on,” he says, “or limit visibility for specific content such as popup notifications.”Buy now: Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra on Samsung

After losing his fingers in a fireworks accident in Nigeria on New Year’s Day 2019, Ubokobong Amanam couldn’t find a prosthetic that matched his dark skin tone. His brother, John, a special-effects artist, crafted him a hyperrealistic hand, and together they founded Immortal Cosmetic Art, making lifelike prosthetics for other Black amputees. “We try to restore comfort and confidence to the amputee,” Ubokobong says. With a background in technology and electronics, John next set out to develop a prosthetic that was not only realistic but also functional. The resulting Ubokobong Bionic Arm—which is myoelectric, or controlled by muscle signals—is now with clients across 56 countries.

Post-pandemic, many companies have eschewed assigned cubicles for “hot-desking.” Stacy Wolff, Senior VP of Design & Sustainability at HP, says the practice can make workers feel like middle school students: “From class to class, you have to bring everything with you. And by God, you better have a No. 2 pencil.” The new HP Eliteboard G1a Next Gen AI PC is designed to lessen that load. Like the Commodore 64 or Apple IIe of yore, the EliteBoard is a full computer built into a keyboard. But the latter features a full sized numeric keypad and weighs less than two pounds, considerably lighter than most laptops. Two USB-C ports allow you to connect monitors and external hubs to access the full desktop experience at any desk.

While action cameras can shoot anywhere, they’re not known for producing movie theater-quality footage. The GoPro Mission 1 PRO ILS shatters that silver ceiling. Designed with input solicited on the sets of “Game of Thrones” and “Twisters,” the new release is now the smallest 8K cinema camera available. It’s also GoPro’s first with a Micro Four Thirds mount, adding compatibility with many lenses designed for more traditional cameras. That means the same camera you’d use while careening down a mountain can capture the beauty of valley flora après ski, says principal product manager Fong Tran.

Just below the broad smile he’s been wearing all morning, John Ternus’ hands are shaking. On this September day in Silicon Valley, Apple’s new CEO is surrounded by celebrities, tech enthusiasts, and reporters who have flocked to Apple Park from around the world to catch a glimpse of the company’s new and long-awaited foldable phone, the Duo. After Ternus takes a few photos with the device, an Apple PR rep pulls the influencer known as IShowSpeed out of the crowd to meet him. Winning over the 21-year-old isn’t exactly the toughest assignment Ternus has faced in his 25-year Apple career: Speed barks when he sees the phone and then gleefully springs into a backflip. But IShowSpeed also happens to be livestreaming the encounter to his 61 million subscribers on YouTube. And as Ternus thumbs through the $1,999-and-up phone, attempting to drag a photo into a text-message box, eagle-eyed viewers notice his hands quivering. Ternus later explains that he didn’t sleep much the night before. “I was on such a moment of adrenaline and caffeine and excitement for the day,” he tells TIME. Ternus, who took over as CEO on Sept.
