Star Trek legend William Shatner has become the oldest person to ever reach space following the successful completion of a flight aboard Blue Origin's New Shepard rocket.

The 90-year-old actor launched into space on a Blue Origin flight alongside Audrey Powers, Chris Boshuizen, and Glen de Vries just before 10:50 a.m. ET on Wednesday morning. The trip lasted around 10 minutes from takeoff to landing, with the capsule carrying the crew touching down safely near the Texas launch site, where Blue Origin founder Jeff Bezos greeted them.

"I'm so filled with emotion about what just happened. It's extraordinary. I hope I can maintain what I feel now. I don't want to lose it. It's so much larger than me and life," Shatner said on his return to Earth, per CNN. "It hasn't got anything to do with the little green men and the blue orb. It has to do with the enormity and the quickness and the suddenness of life and death."

This is only the second crewed outing for Blue Origin's New Shepard rocket, having successfully completed its first-ever human spaceflight three months ago. Bezos was joined by three other passengers on that trip, including 82-year-old Wally Funk who became the oldest astronaut to travel to space — a record that has now been broken by Shatner.

Shatner became a cultural icon for his portrayal of Captain James T. Kirk in the original Star Trek television series, steering the USS Enterprise through its voyages between 1966 and 1969. He reprised his role in Star Trek: The Animated Series, as well as Star Trek: The Motion Picture. He played Kirk in the next six Star Trek films prior to the character's demise.

The legendary actor has been involved with plenty of pioneering projects before. For his birthday this year, the Star Trek legend announced a special collaboration with Los Angeles-based tech company StoryFile and revealed that they would be creating an interactive AI-powered video of himself, so family and friends could interact with him for years to come.

Sony is giving away three free PlayStation VR games to PS Plus members next month in celebration of the headset's fifth birthday. As part of the celebrations, it also revealed the most-played PSVR games of all time.

In a post on the PlayStation Blog, the company says that PlayStation Plus members will be able to get their hands on the free games as of November. "To celebrate this PS VR milestone, we wanted to give a special thank you to PlayStation fans," reads the blog post. "Starting in November, PlayStation Plus members will get three PSVR bonus games for no extra charge."

Sony hasn't yet revealed what three games that fans will be able to download on their consoles but does note that those interested should "stay tuned for more details" that will be announced as part of the PlayStation Plus update in the next few weeks.

Elsewhere in the article, Sony noted which PSVR-compatible games had seen the most playtime over the last five years. Featuring very few surprises, the list of the most-played games globally on the headset comprised Rec Room, Beat Saber, PSVR Worlds, Skyrim, and Resident Evil 7: Biohazard. Sony did note that data collected excluded playtime for Playroom VR and that when ranked by region, Firewall: Zero Hour managed to sneak into the list ahead of Resident Evil 7 in North America.

Celebrations aside, Sony doesn't look set to be moving away from the medium anytime soon. Earlier this year, it was officially announced that the company is working on a PSVR 2, which reportedly could include a 4K display, eye tracking, haptic feedback, and more. Following its headset announcement, the company then gave fans a first glimpse at the PSVR 2's new controllers, which have been designed to fit around the user's hands and include finger tracking technology as well as a number of other features such as haptic feedback and adaptive triggers.

While the PSVR 2 is yet to receive an official release date, there's still plenty of upcoming PSVR content to look forward to in the meantime – including games such as Wanderer, After the Fall, and Zenith: The Last City. So, if you don't currently own a PS VR, it may still be worth taking advantage of the free games coming next month and adding them to your library anyway – you know, just in case.

In celebration of its opening at Walt Disney World in 2022, Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser will be getting a 5-issue comic book miniseries that will focus on the many voyages of the Halcyon – the starcruiser that this experience takes place on.

As detailed on StarWars.com, this miniseries, which is titled Star Wars: Halcyon Legacy, is being written by Star Wars: Bounty Hunters' Ethan Sacks and features art by Star Wars: The Rise of Kylo Ren's Will Sliney. This team also worked on the Star Wars: Galaxy's Ede comic miniseries that launched in 2019.

This "era-spanning story from the High Republic to the days of the First Order" that covers 275 years will allow fans to learn more about the Halcyon and those who have been part of its history. Alongside seeing the first meeting of Lando Calrissian and Hondo Ohnaka, we will also learn the story of The High Republic's Burryaga Agaburry and Nibs Assek fending off an attack by the Nihil on one of Halcyon's first voyages.

Speaking of Burryaga, the Wookie Jedi will be featured on the cover of Star Wars: Halcyon Legacy #1 with art from E.M. Gist.

While there is no release date as of this writing, it very well may be released ahead of Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser's March 1, 2022, opening date. This two-night, immersive adventure's goal is to let its guests live out their own Star Wars story. From wielding a lightsaber to helping the crew on the bridge keep the Halcyon running properly to trying food from that galaxy far, far away, there is meant to be something for everyone.

Considering the price of a standard cabin can run you around $6,000 for a group of four, we've tried to gather everything we know about Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser in one place so you can make an informed decision as to whether or not you want to board the Halcyon in Walt Disney World.

Binge and Nightdive Studios are teaming up to produce a live-action series based on the critically acclaimed System Shock franchise.

IGN has decrypted a message in cyberspace and discovered that System Shock is being adapted into a live-action TV series that will be produced by Allan Ungar, who directed and co-wrote the Uncharted fan film that went viral a few years ago. Nightdive Studios' Stephen Kick and Larry Kuperman will both serve as executive producers on the project.

The original System Shock game drops players into Citadel Station, where an indentured hacker wakes up from a coma only to find themselves plunged into the twisted aftermath of a mutiny and immediately confronted by armies of cyborgs, robots, and a corrupt AI named SHODAN that controls operations and threatens to unleash terror at the space station.

"I've always believed that a live-action adaptation of System Shock would be the perfect medium to retell the harrowing story of Citadel station and its rogue AI that subjects the crew to unimaginable horror," said Kick, Nightdive's CEO and Founder. "We're very excited to see the talented team at Binge bring System Shock to life in horrifyingly real and new ways."

The live-action System Shock series will be released exclusively on Binge, an all-new streaming platform dedicated to delivering premium entertainment for gamers. Binge's streaming service will launch in 2022 with a library of original series and shows inspired by popular video games that will stream for free on any internet-connected device.

System Shock joins Binge's original content slate, which also includes an adaptation of the Driver video games that will "focus on undercover agent and ex-racecar driver John Tanner as he tries to take down a crime syndicate." That series is being produced by Ungar and Binge's Vincent Talenti, with a team of executive producers hailing from Ubisoft Film & Television.
