By Giovanni Colantonio Published December 8, 2020

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II — The Sith Lords is coming to mobile devices. The RPG classic lands on iPad, iPhone, and Android devices on December 18.

The game was originally developed by Obsidian Entertainment and released for the original Xbox in 2004. Developer Aspyr is handling the new port, which will be available on the App Store and Google Play. Fans can purchase the mobile version for $15.

According to Aspyr, the game is optimized for mobile devices and features touchscreen controls. Other than that new tweak, the mobile version sounds like it’ll be mostly identical to the original version, with no extra features or content mentioned.

Fans can pre-order the game starting today on both the App Store and Google Play Store. The App Store listing has the game’s file size clocking in at 3.9GB.

The mobile port is a continuation of Aspyr’s partnership with Lucasfilm, which has seen the developer bringing back multiple classic Star Wars games. Earlier this year, Aspyr brought Star Wars Episode I: Racer to modern consoles and it previously revived two Star Wars: Jedi Knight games. Speaking on the ongoing collaboration, Aspyr Vice President Elizabeth Howard says: “We’re proud to continue working with Lucasfilm to bring classic titles like Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II to modern platforms.”

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II is one of the more beloved Star Wars video games, garnering high critical praise and selling over a million units. Fans can currently revisit the first Knights of the Old Republic game on mobile devices. It costs $5.

Arm thinks AI is the secret to better gaming on your phone

Arm’s new Mali GPU uses neural rendering to chase sharper visuals, smoother frame rates, and more ambitious ray tracing without pushing phones quite as hard.

PC gaming has spent the past few years leaning heavily on AI to squeeze better graphics and higher frame rates out of hardware. Now, Arm wants to bring a similar idea to the phones in our pockets.

Arm has unveiled the Mali G2-Ultra NX, its first mobile GPU designed with dedicated neural acceleration built directly into the graphics hardware. That sounds like a mouthful, but the idea behind it is surprisingly simple: instead of asking the GPU to brute-force every pixel and every frame, AI can help fill in some of the gaps. For mobile gaming, where battery life and heat matter as much as raw performance, that could be a pretty big deal.

OLED has already conquered the premium gaming-monitor market. Now Alienware wants to take it somewhere it has historically struggled to crack: competitive esports. I got hands-on with the new Alienware AW2527HX at IFA 2026, and with a 560Hz fifth-generation Penta Tandem QD-OLED panel, a design shaped around professional players, and some wonderfully obsessive esports-focused features, Dell is making a pretty convincing case that OLED’s next battlefield is competitive gaming.

Windows 11 is about to turn on a setting that could hurt gaming performance

Microsoft will start enabling Memory Integrity on more Windows 11 PCs in October

Microsoft is preparing to enable Memory Integrity on more Windows 11 PCs starting in October. The security feature is meant to protect systems from malicious code, but there is one reason gamers may want to keep an eye on it.

Microsoft has previously acknowledged that Memory Integrity can affect gaming performance on some Windows 11 systems. Back in 2022, the company even published instructions explaining how gamers could temporarily disable Memory Integrity and Virtual Machine Platform if they were causing problems.
