Epic reveals first Unreal Engine 6 game, and it’s not Fortnite

Epic Games has announced Unreal Engine 6 during the Paris Major of the Rocket League Championship Series, showcasing enhanced vehicles and cinematic gameplay in a brief clip. The engine has gained popularity among developers, including CD Projekt and indie creators, and is also used in the film industry by studios like Disney. Unreal Engine 5 has seen significant adoption but faced criticism for performance issues, particularly on PC, despite Fortnite running smoothly on it. The reveal of Unreal Engine 6 is more subdued than the announcement of Unreal Engine 5. The trailer hints at Epic's broader metaverse ambitions, featuring other Epic titles and suggesting a vision for interconnected experiences. Tim Sweeney has indicated that Fortnite will evolve into a platform for independent developers and interoperable games in 2024.

I tried playing Fortnite with the Steam Controller, and now all I want to do is watch The Mandalorian and Grogu

A player approached Fortnite to test the Steam Controller while focusing on competitive shooters. They encountered a Mandalorian-themed event that included a watch party for an upcoming movie. The game featured a vibrant introduction with Mandalorian and Grogu, leading to a battle against Stormtroopers on Nevarro. Players watched a short clip from the movie, described as exhilarating with AT-AT-like walkers and explosions, which reignited the player's interest in the Star Wars franchise. However, the player's experience with the Steam Controller was disappointing, as the gyro feature needed adjustments and many buttons did not map correctly, leading them to prefer traditional thumbsticks and aim assist.

Microsoft Outlook doesn’t launch in space, and on Earth, the email app takes more than 15 seconds just to get started

Microsoft Outlook has been criticized for performance issues, exemplified by an incident during a NASA livestream where an astronaut reported two malfunctioning Outlook applications. Additionally, a tech commentator shared a video showing Outlook taking over 15 seconds to display an email after a notification was selected, which was not linked to recent Windows updates. Outlook faces competition from alternatives like Samsung Email, Gmail, and Apple Mail, which are considered superior due to their use of native user interface frameworks. Microsoft is working on replacing web-based applications with fully native counterparts for Windows 11 to improve performance and restore user confidence.
