Apple’s iOS 27 goes all agentic on compromised passwords, promises to change them with one tap

Apple says that its next-gen operating system will allow users to update their weak and compromised passwords with a single tap. Upgrades coming to iOS 27, announced at Tim Cook’s last Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) this week, introduce a significant change to the way users manage their passwords. “Building on its ability to alert users about weak and compromised passwords, Passwords can now automatically fix these for users with just a tap,” Apple said on Monday. “Using Apple Intelligence and Safari to agentically take action on a user’s behalf, Passwords securely navigates through websites to sign in and upgrade their accounts to strong passwords.” The iGadget-maker’s existing password manager already flags passwords that are known to be included in prior data breaches, checking whether they appear in known data leaks. However, current Passwords still requires users to update affected accounts themselves and does not offer a way to change multiple compromised credentials at once. Selecting one of those alerts typically takes users to the relevant account page, where they must complete the password change manually. The new update is designed to remove much of that legwork, with iOS 27 automatically navigating supported websites and updating eligible accounts to stronger passwords after user approval. Of course, in the very brief section of the video in which the new capability was announced, the feature worked flawlessly. In practice, however, it remains to be seen how effective Passwords is at agentically navigating different websites’ login processes on behalf of users, especially if MFA is also set up on the account. And for those of you who remember a story The Register covered earlier this year about the (in)security of AI-generated passwords, fret not. Apple’s Passwords app generates solid passwords by default – strings that, according to NordPass’ online password checker, are “strong” and would take centuries to crack. Security company Irregular’s research from February looked at scenarios where users were querying LLM chatbots for password ideas, rather than looking at those generated by purpose-built password managers. Siri state of affairs As predicted by many, this year’s WWDC put Siri, now known as Siri AI, front and center as Apple looks to deliver on its promises made two years ago. It announced Apple Intelligence in 2024, but the offering has underdelivered on pretty much every count. Analysts who spoke to The Register after the event on Monday were optimistic about what they saw on the AI front, but described Apple’s ability to deliver value for developers and users on its second roll of the dice as a credibility test. The company announced a wide range of small AI-enabled upgrades coming soon to iOS 27, powered by Apple's Foundation Models, developed in collaboration with Google and its Gemini technology, in addition to the agentic password-fixing tease. Individually, these features, such as enabling users to create shortcuts or Safari extensions by prompting Apple Intelligence using natural language, and Safari’s Notify Me, which allows users to monitor specific web pages for updates, are not revolutionary. They’re also not the type of features that are poised to set the AI industry alight. But for some, winning the AI race is less about being first to market with the biggest, baddest model; it’s about using AI in the most useful way. "Rebuilt from the ground up, Apple is trying to make AI feel native, useful, and invisible across the devices people already use every day," said Francisco Jeronimo, IDC VP of client devices. "This matters because the winning AI experience for consumers will not be the loudest or most technically complex. It will be the one that understands context, respects privacy, works reliably across apps, and reduces friction without forcing users to change behaviour." Apple’s iOS 27 will launch to the wider public in the fall, while devs can get their hands on the beta version now. This won’t come with the new dedicated Siri AI app, though. You’ll have to join a waiting list for that one. ®

Six Things I Wish I Knew Before My First Hyrox Race

A little over a week ago, my fellow Lifehacker writer Beth Skwarecki and I competed in the women’s doubles at Hyrox New York. Our final time was 01:36:48—not too shabby, considering the average time is 1:24:20 for women’s doubles, and we had pretty minimal training. 

Still, upon seeing videos of myself at this race, I looked less like a sleek athlete (what I pictured in my head) and a little bit more like a floppy balloon man trying to wave you into a car dealership. Now that we’ve had some time to reflect on our experiences, here's what I wish I had known about Hyrox races going in.

Focus on proper form, not just overall fitness

Going into this, I was most scared of the feats of strength and coordination, while Beth was most afraid of the running. In the five weeks we had to train, I focused mostly on getting my strength up. What I wish I had understood better? This isn't CrossFit! In other words, you don't need to be professionally strong to finish.

By race day, the weight standards weren't as devastating as I feared. For women's doubles in the open division, the sled push comes in at 102 kg (around 225 lbs) including the sled. The sled pull is 78 kg (around 172 lbs) including the sled. Farmers carry uses 2 × 16 kg (around 35.2 lbs) kettlebells for 200 meters. The sandbag lunges are done with a 10 kg (22 lbs) bag for 100 meters. And wall balls use a 4 kg (8.8 lbs) ball thrown to a 2.70 m target for 100 reps.

What caught me off guard instead was form and coordination. Some of these were still unfamiliar movement patterns for me, and doing them on fatigued legs made everything feel more awkward. I wish I had focused more on specific movement patterns during my training, so that I didn’t waste so much time navigating basic mechanics mid-race.

Each Hyrox station feels completely different during race day

There's a significant gap between practicing a wall ball in a fresh gym session and performing your 75th rep after you've already run several kilometers, pushed a sled, and done a farmers carry. Every station takes on a different character when it arrives in context. 

Luckily, this isn't a reason to panic—just all the more reason to train with specificity. It’s not enough to just practice the movements in isolation. You need to practice them tired, and practice them in sequence when you can. The simulation experience (more on that in a moment) exists precisely for this reason. When you finally step onto the race floor, you want the movements to feel familiar even in their fatigued form, not just when you're fresh and focused in a 45-minute workout class.

Take a Hyrox-specific class—but don't stop there

The Hyrox-specific studio classes I took at F45 beforehand were completely necessary. A prep class gives you exposure to most of the Hyrox stations and, ideally, to the specific standards that Hyrox enforces. But one class can only take you so far, depending on the resources of your gym. For instance, I really wish I had been able to practice Hyrox-specific wall balls before showing up on race day. 

Do a Hyrox simulation—but know the penalties before you walk in

A full Hyrox simulation is highly recommended. I did not do one. Beth did, however, and she learned something important: the people running your simulation may not enforce the penalty rules strictly, or may not know all of them.

Hyrox has specific penalties for standards violations—things like failing to hit the wall ball target, not reaching full depth on lunges, or spacing your hands and feet too far apart during burpees. In a simulation run by someone who isn't an official judge, you may breeze through movements that would have earned you penalty burpees on race day. So, walk into your simulation already knowing the standards and the consequences. Use it to practice pace and sequencing, and make sure you hold yourself to the real rules, even if no one else in the room is.

In doubles, transitions are a race within the race

If you're competing in doubles, you’ll quickly discover how transitions are a discipline unto themselves. In fact, Beth and I had a great time sharing Instagram reels focused solely on transition ideas throughout our training. The handoff between partners at each station, contingency plans for splitting the workload, the split-second decisions about whether your partner needs you to take an extra rep: all of this should be worked out in advance, and ideally practiced until it's automatic.

It’s also important to note that a strategy might feel obvious when you're fresh, but it will feel much less obvious when you're both gassed after running another kilometer and the sled is sitting there staring at you. Our tip would be to decide who leads on each one, what the signal is to swap, and what you do if one partner is struggling. 

For instance, it often makes sense to have the stronger runner be the one who starts and finishes each station, so that the other athlete has more time to rest between the running portions. For Beth and myself, we ran a tad slower than my typical recovery pace, and that turned out to be the right call. It meant we arrived at each station with something left in the tank—which was the thing that allowed me, a person who had been terrified of the strength work, to move through it without falling apart.

The takeaway here is that the more decisions you can make in advance, the fewer you'll have to make under duress.

Have an actual Hyrox race strategy, not just a workout plan

Ultimately, there's a big difference between training for Hyrox and racing Hyrox. A lot of first-timers (myself included) instinctively approach it like a really hard workout. You think to yourself that you’ll push when you can, you survive when you can't, and you see what time comes out. That works, but it certainly leaves time on the table.

A real race strategy means knowing how exactly to hack each station. Research is your best friend. Sometimes the most efficient movement won’t feel like the “proper form” you’ve practiced in a workout class, or it simply won’t be intuitive to you personally. At least, that was my experience with wall balls. And hey, I hope to put all this to the test and compete in another Hyrox race. Maybe in the singles division this time, to really put my money where my mouth is. Stay tuned.

A Falcon 9 booster turns 5 years old—and just set a remarkable reuse record

A little more than five years ago, a shiny white Falcon 9 rocket made its debut flight, boosting a Cargo Dragon spacecraft to the International Space Station. Over the next year, it would launch a pair of astronaut missions and a handful of commercial spacecraft.

But since then, this first stage booster, designated B 1067, has mostly flown Starlink missions. It has launched them one after another, always returning safely to a drone ship before undergoing refurbishment and flying again. Sometimes it has flown twice in a single month.

On Monday morning, B 1067 once again took to the skies, launching 29 Starlink Internet satellites into low-Earth orbit from Florida. Upon landing on the A Shortfall of Gravitas drone ship in the Atlantic Ocean, the vehicle completed its 35th mission overall, retaining its title as fleet leader for SpaceX.

School shooting survivor sues AI gun detection firm after system failed to spot weapon

The injured teenage survivor of a January 2025 shooting at a Nashville, Tennessee high school recently sued the manufacturer of an “AI gun detection” system that failed to detect the handgun that left two dead, including the shooter.

According to the lawsuit, which was filed in Davidson County court last month, the security company Omnilert either knew or should have known that there were “significant operational limitations in its gun detection system that could result in detection failures during actual emergencies, including limitations based on camera placement, proximity of the weapon to camera sensors, camera angle, lighting, and weapon visibility.”

Omnilert cofounder Ara Bagdasarian declined Ars’ invitation to answer questions about the lawsuit. System Integrations, the other defendant in the case, which resold the Omnilert system, also did not respond to Ars’ request for comment.

Home Office ditches legacy asylum database, keeps the spreadsheets

The UK's long-running asylum IT overhaul may finally have put the 25-year-old Case Information Database (CID) out to pasture, but Parliament says that officials are still relying on spreadsheets and disconnected systems to keep track of asylum cases. A new report from the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) found asylum data remains scattered across multiple systems, making it difficult for officials to track cases, spot emerging backlogs, or understand where pressure is building across the wider system. As of December last year, the Home Office was still heavily dependent on CID, a decommissioned platform dating back to the turn of the century, while attempting to move asylum operations onto Atlas. The PAC's findings suggest the migration has not solved a more familiar government IT problem: getting different systems to share information. The committee said that there is still "no single, reliable view of cases across the asylum system." While the Home Office told MPs it has now fully moved to Atlas for asylum case management, officials noted that the transition has been complex, involving legacy data migration, functional improvements, and staff training. MPs also heard that some Home Office staff continue to maintain their own spreadsheets alongside official systems. The committee warned this can leave multiple versions of the same information in circulation and contribute to ongoing data quality problems. One of the bigger gaps sits between the Home Office and HM Courts & Tribunals Service. The two are working to link their case management systems, but MPs said current data-sharing arrangements still make it impossible to follow an individual case through the entire asylum process. The report also echoes earlier National Audit Office findings that a reliable single record for each asylum seeker is still unavailable. Information on issues such as repeat appeals and absconders remains incomplete, inconsistent, or unavailable, while MPs said officials struggled to provide some key figures with confidence. The committee concluded that departments still lack the integrated data needed to understand how people move through the asylum system or whether attempts to fix one bottleneck are simply creating another elsewhere. What’s more, without reliable data, MPs said that they cannot properly assess whether the asylum system is improving or whether taxpayers are getting value for money. “Departments still lack integrated, system-wide data and agreed performance measures needed to manage the asylum system effectively,” the PAC report states. “Until these gaps are addressed, senior leaders cannot fully understand where pressures are building or assess whether interventions are working as intended, and Parliament cannot obtain robust assurance on progress or value for money.” The old database may be on the way out, but MPs are not convinced the underlying data problems went with it. ®

UK exam watchdog frets over smart specs turning GCSEs into Google searches

England's exams watchdog is warning that the next generation of school cheating may arrive not in a student's pocket, but perched on their face. In a new podcast, Ofqual chief regulator Sir Ian Bauckham said advances in consumer technology are creating fresh headaches for exam authorities, with smart glasses, hidden earpieces, and other connected gadgets raising the prospect of increasingly sophisticated cheating during exams. "We shouldn't underestimate the challenge involved here," Bauckham said, warning that regulators will need to move quickly as technology evolves. Students smuggling phones into exam halls is hardly a new phenomenon. According to Ofqual, mobile phones and other smart devices were involved in 2,225 malpractice cases during 2025 exams, accounting for 44.3 percent of all student malpractice incidents. Device-related offenses have been the largest category of student malpractice every year since 2018. What appears to be keeping regulators awake at night is what comes next. A smartphone hidden in a blazer pocket is one thing, but a pair of ordinary-looking glasses quietly displaying information to the wearer, or a near-invisible earpiece feeding them answers from elsewhere, is harder to spot from the back of an exam hall. The concerns arise as consumer technology companies continue to cram cameras, microphones, AI assistants, and internet connectivity into an ever-growing range of wearable devices. What starts life as a gadget for checking messages or translating languages can easily become something more useful when sitting a three-hour mathematics exam. Bauckham also suggested artificial intelligence poses a separate challenge outside the exam hall. Ofqual is examining ways to ensure coursework remains authentic as AI-generated submissions become harder to distinguish from student work. Possible responses include tighter requirements around referencing sources and greater involvement from teachers in verifying that students actually produced the work they hand in. Bauckham even floated the possibility of removing coursework entirely from some qualifications if confidence in its authenticity cannot be maintained. For now, students are still expected to turn up with a pen and whatever knowledge they've managed to retain. But as smart glasses and AI gadgets become cheaper and harder to spot, invigilators may soon need to know as much about consumer electronics as they do about exam regulations. ®

Scientists ejected from diabetes conference for distributing journal reprints

Five leading scientists were ousted from the annual meeting of the American Diabetes Association (ADA) in New Orleans on Friday. Their crime: handing out copies of an editorial, published in the journal Diabetes Care on April 29, sharply criticizing the Trump administration's ongoing attacks on scientific research.

Those ousted were Steven Kahn, professor of medicine at the University of Washington and editor-in-chief of Diabetes Care, who co-authored the published editorial; former ADA president Desmond Schatz of the University of Florida, Gainesville; Aaron Kelly, pediatrics processor at the University of Minnesota; Justin Ryder of Northwestern University; and Irl Hirsch, also of the University of Washington. The five were handing out reprints of the editorial outside a room where NIH director Jay Bhattacharya had been scheduled to speak. Bhattacharya cancelled and another NIH official spoke in his stead.

"They physically grabbed us, forced us out of the conference center, and now are telling us we can no longer attend this meeting," Kelly told MedPage Today, which first reported the incident. "They're taking our lanyards. It really has come to this in America. Censorship is real. America needs to stand up. Scientists, stand up. Physicians, stand up."

Yet another Cisco SD-WAN 0-day under attack, and no patch in sight

The threat is real. Unknown miscreants are exploiting a high-severity, zero-day bug in Cisco’s SD-WAN management software, and the networking giant hasn’t said when it will patch the flaw. Cisco issued an advisory on Thursday for the Catalyst SD-WAN Manager vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2026-20245, and it sounds like attackers have been exploiting this security failure for at least the last week. It’s due to a validation error - the software fails to properly validate user-supplied input - and an authenticated, local attacker can exploit the flaw by uploading a specially crafted file to vulnerable systems. From there, they can escalate privileges and execute commands with root privileges. The vulnerability affects all versions of the SD-WAN software, regardless of device configuration, and across all deployment types including on-premises, cloud-based, and FedRAMP-certified deployments. Switchzilla says it became aware of attacks against this vulnerability in June. “To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker must have netadmin privileges on an affected system,” the vendor said. “This would require valid credentials or exploitation of CVE-2026-20182 or CVE-2026-20127. Cisco is not aware of successful exploitation by other methods.” Both of these earlier SD-WAN security holes have also been hit by attackers in previous months. The good news: an attacker needs valid credentials to abuse the new hole. The bad news: exposed credentials aren’t hard to find (or buy) online. We don’t know the scope of exploitation or exactly when attackers began hitting this SD-WAN hole. Cisco declined to answer The Register’s questions, and instead sent us a statement via email. “Cisco recommends customers upgrade to the fixed software released in May 2026 for CVE-2026-20182 as a protective measure,” a spokesperson said. “A patch for this vulnerability will be provided on a future date. Customers needing assistance should contact Cisco TAC.” This latest bug is the sixth SD-WAN vulnerability listed as under attack since the start of the year, and the second zero-day in two months. The most recent is the one the Cisco spokesperson mentioned in an email to The Register. In May, Switchzilla disclosed a max-severity make-me-admin bug (CVE-2026-20182) affecting Catalyst SD-WAN Controller and Manager, and warned that attackers had already found and exploited the hole before it issued a patch. A month earlier, America's lead cyber-defense agency said that three Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager bugs (CVE-2026-20128, CVE-2026-20133, and CVE-2026-20122) were under attack, and gave federal agencies just four days to patch the security holes. Cisco fixed all three CVEs in late February, and in March warned of attackers abusing two of them. Also in February, the networking vendor patched a max-severity improper authentication flaw (CVE-2026-20127) affecting the same SD-WAN software, prompting a Five Eyes countries’ joint intelligence alert urgently warning defenders to patch it - plus an old SD-WAN vulnerability (CVE-2022-20775) - or risk root takeover. "Malicious cyber threat actors are targeting Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN used by organizations globally," the UK's lead cyber agency said at the time. "These actors are compromising SD-WANs to add a malicious rogue peer and then conduct a range of follow-on actions to achieve root access and maintain persistent access to the SD-WAN." And while this one isn't listed as under active exploitation (yet), on Wednesday, Cisco warned about a proof-of-concept exploit for CVE-2026-20230, a critical bug in its Unified Communications Manager that also allows attackers to gain root privileges. ®

The placeholder name for the Windows 8 experience was “modern”

Raymond Chen shares some history regarding Windows 8’s development:

During the development of Windows 8, we needed a name for “that thing we’re creating.” Not being a particularly clever bunch when it comes to code names, we just called it “the modern experience,” to distinguish it from what we had in Windows 7, which was called “the classic experience.”

And then, as Microspeak demands, we started abbreviating like mad.

↫ Raymond Chen

Basically, they added “mo” for “modern” in front of everything, so the Metro shell became “MoSh”, the Settings application “MoSet”, and so on. And yes, the code name for the Photos application was exactly what it sounds like.

The Best Books, Movies, Video Games, and Podcasts to Check Out After Watching ‘For All Mankind'

We may earn a commission from links on this page.

In a genre dominated by grim, dystopian visions of the future, For All Mankind is a powerful counterweight: an alternate history that imagines a timeline in which the Soviet Union beat America to the Moon, prolonging the space race and laying the foundation for a more egalitarian, tech-forward 20th and 21st centuries.

If you've finished the recently completed fifth season and need more of that kind of sci-fi positivity, you’re probably already excited about the spin-off series Star City, and you’ve probably already made your way through our list of shows with similar vibes to watch. Hence, it's time to explore other media. Here are the best movies, books, games, and podcasts with similarly starry-eyed vibes.

The best books like For All Mankind

For All Mankind is a dense, novelistic series with deep world-building and terrific character work—which means a good book is your best bet for filling that rocket-shaped void in your life.

The Calculating Stars, by Mary Robinette Kowal

This award-winning novel, the start of a series, is the ideal book to read if you love For All Mankind. It’s an alternate history that imagines a devastating meteorite impact that almost ends civilization and sends the world careening toward environmental disaster. In the desperate effort to recover and save humanity, manpower shortages mean women step into roles they were traditionally barred from, including the race to the stars. Despite the cataclysm that opens the story, this is the kind of optimistic sci-fi that imagines humanity will rise to every occasion, and fans of the show will love it.

The Right Stuff, by Tom Wolfe

If your favorite parts of For All Mankind involved the terrifying training for, and experience of spaceflight, especially in the early seasons, this legendary work of “new journalism” is the ticket. It recounts the early work in the U.S. on rocket-powered aircraft, Project Mercury, and the first astronauts, detailing the incredibly challenging and dangerous work undertaken by these men. It also delves into the impact their careers had on their families, and offers real-world background that makes the experience of the show even richer.

The Mars Trilogy, by Kim Stanley Robinson

If you loved the way Mars colonization is depicted in For All Mankind—that grounded, plausible approach that makes it all seem thrillingly possible—check out Robinson’s Nebula and Hugo award-winning series. It shares the same basic optimism, imagining a reality where the world, driven by looming ecological disaster, comes together to terraform and colonize Mars. It’s got a similar scope, spanning nearly two centuries of future history beginning in the year 2026,offering an intelligent view of what a project of that scale would involve.

Singer Distance, by Ethan Chatagnier

One thing missing from For All Mankind is alien life—unless you count the microscopic cells discovered on Saturn’s moon Titan. If you wished there were some E.T.s in the show to spice things up, Chatagnier’s novel will thrill you, revealing as it does in a world where humanity began a laborious communication with Martians in 1894, involving enormous glyphs carved into the Martian surface and some heavy-duty math. When humanity fails to solve the Martian equations, the red planet falls silent for decades, until a brilliant young student formulates a message that reopens the conversation, with world-changing consequences.

Atmosphere, by Taylor Jenkins Reid

Part of the charm of For All Mankind is in the characters and their relationships. For more of that vibe, Atmosphere is the right choice. In the early 1980s, astrophysicist Joan Goodwin is thrilled when NASA announces an initiative to recruit female scientists into its space program. Training to be an astronaut is challenging and rewarding—and so are the relationships she forges with her fellow recruits. Not everyone is a friend and not everything is perfect—and a looming disaster in 1984 that puts a shadow on everything—but the story celebrates exceptional people and humanity’s enormous potential in a way fans of the show will recognize.

The best movies like For All Mankind

One of the great things about For All Mankind is the combination of small-scale human drama and the mind-blowing vistas of outer space. For big-screen versions of that, check out these films.

Apollo 13 (1995)

The thrills found in the early seasons of For All Mankind were typically centered on the incredibly dangerous initial attempts to blast off Earth and head to the Moon and beyond. Apollo 13 captures the real-world drama and tension of the 1970 Moon mission that went terribly wrong, stranding three astronauts in a disabled lunar module and prompting a desperate effort on Earth to solve a litany of physics challenges and get them home alive. It’s the perfect choice if you’re jonesing for space race pathos. Rent Apollo 13 on Prime Video.

The Martian (2015)

Space is a pretty dangerous place, as are the other planets in our solar system. The Martian captures both the wonder of exploration and the human drive to survive and triumph over adversity that marks For All Mankind as a special show, telling the story of astronaut Mark Watney, marooned on Mars with insufficient resources for long-term survival. It’s tense, thrilling, and ultimately a celebration of the human spirit, as the world puts aside political differences and comes together to mount a massive rescue mission.

It’s entirely earthbound and has a very different aesthetic—not so much realistic as "computer-generated retrofuturism"—but Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow captures the gee-whiz, let’s do this energy of For All Mankind while also envisioning an alternate history where humanity develops technology along vastly different lines. There are airships, giant robots, and a flying legion of old-school fighter planes in this universe, which is deeply indebted to 1930s sci-fi aesthetics, but under all the CGI flash is a celebration of humanity’s courage and resilience that fans of the show will love. Stream Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow on Hoopla or rent it on Prime Video.

First Man (2018)

Another film exploring the incredible courage and determination of the early astronauts, First Man focuses on Neil Armstrong (played by Ryan Gosling), the first man on the Moon. In the early 1960s, Armstrong was reeling from the death of his young daughter and entered the Gemini program at a time when the Soviet Union was perceived to be beating the U.S. in the space race. The film explores the deep personal costs to all the men and women connected to the massive project, from lives lost to serious injury and emotional stress, while accurately depicting just how terrifyingly primitive the technology used to get to the Moon actually was. Rent First Man on Prime Video.

2010: The Year We Make Contact (1984)

While Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey was trippy and very Kubrick, its 1984 sequel is a lot more grounded and informed by the Cold War. The result is a human-focused spacefaring story that fans of For All Mankind should enjoy. Nine years after the disaster that saw the U.S. lose astronaut David Bowman and the crew of the Discovery, the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. are racing to get to Jupiter to find out what happened. The Soviets complete their ship first, but need American help to reactivate the computer HAL 9000 onboard the Discovery before the ship crashes into Jupiter’s moon Io, so a tense joint mission is formed. It’s a surprisingly hopeful story with little of the original film’s cold style. Rent 2010: The Year We Make Contact on Prime Video.

No Man’s Sky

You want the stars? No Man’s Sky brings you the stars—a nearly infinite supply of them, procedurally generated and teeming with unexpected challenges and opportunities. You can explore, transact business, and get into existential fights with aliens, and you can keep doing it for as long as you like, as the game comes as close to mimicking the infinite nature of the universe as current consoles possibly can. If it’s the potential for humanity to explore the universe that makes you most excited about For All Mankind, this game is for you.

Kerbal Space Program

Love the detailed exploration of the resources, manpower, and problem-solving that goes into managing an enormous space program? Kerbal Space Program and its sequel are the right games for you. The Kerals live on the planet Kerbin, and have just constructed a spaceport. It’s up to you to design rockets and other craft, launch them, and complete missions in the nearby solar system. The physics and planets are modeled on our own and are surprisingly accurate, giving you the opportunity to discover just how hard it is to get a crew to the Moon and back in one piece.

Elite Dangerous

Like No Man’s Sky, Elite Dangerous offers you the chance to explore and interact with the entire universe, fulfilling the implied promise of For All Mankind. Unlike that other game, the universe in Elite Dangerous is modeled on the real one we live in—although the systems you visit are procedurally generated, the data used to create them is taken from legitimate astronomical readings. That means you can explore planets and systems that might actually exist out there, using spaceships and equipment that have the same practical, industrial look and feel as the vessels on the show.

Platforms: PlayStation, Xbox, Steam

Starfield

Starfield is another open-world space exploration game that mimics the grounded feel and courageous tone of For All Mankind, set in a universe based closely on real physics and known star systems. If you want all that and a tighter story ine than found in other open-world space games, this one will do it: You play as a member of a legendary team of explorers searching for ancient artifacts that may offer clues to one of the greatest discoveries in human history.

Platforms: PlayStation, Xbox, Steam

Surviving Mars

For many fans, the Mars settlement on For All Mankind is the most fascinating locale—a practical, grounded setting where humanity lives a fairly mundane existence despite the harsh conditions. If you want to dig in deeper to the logistical challenges of keeping humans alive on the red planet, check out Surviving Mars, where you play as an overseer in charge of designing, building, and maintaining a colony on Mars—and making sure the colonists survive their stay. The game throws a lot at you, including different colonist personality traits, disease, resource management, and even rebellions, but that’s what makes it so much fun.

This is the story of Dr. Sally Grissom, a scientist who is thrown backwards in time to 1943 and recruited by the Office of Developed Anomalous Resources (ODAR) to work on time travel and other technologies that can help America win World War II and defend itself against the Soviets in the Cold War and beyond, rewriting history in increasingly chaotic ways.

Produced by the BBC, it’s a detailed, engrossing delve into the social, political, economic, and technological challenges the effort posed, while illuminating the personalities of the people who fought for funding, developed key tech, or actually sat in the cockpits during dangerous tests and maiden flights during the decade-long, literal moonshot project.
