Tom Hanks created a trivia game and it’s coming to Apple Arcade this Friday
Tom Hanks has leaned into one of his passions by creating a trivia game with the help of developer BlueLine Studios. Not only is it Hanks’ first game, it’ll be the only trivia title on Apple Arcade to date. Hanx101 Trivia will feature questions in several categories, including history, math, geography and food. You can try to beat your high score or face off against other players in head-to-head bouts and team matchups when the game arrives this Friday.
This isn’t the first time Hanks has worked on an app for Apple devices. In 2014, he debuted Hanx Writer, a typewriter-themed writing app that became a hit on iPad. His production company also has an exclusive deal with Apple. Hanks’ movies Greyhound and Finch are Apple TV+ originals.
Several other games are coming to Apple Arcade in September. One of them is Gris+, an updated version of the gorgeous indie hit. Apple named it the best Mac game of the year in its 2019 App Store awards and called it a “masterpiece in visualization and atmospheric storytelling.” Apple Arcade subscribers can play it at no extra cost starting on September 30th.
Along with those, you’ll be able to try arcade racer Horizon Chase 2 (September 9th, coming to PC and consoles next year) and Garden Tails: Match and Grow, a new match-three puzzler from Two Dots studio PlayDots (September 16th). Farming sim Farmside will join the Apple Arcade lineup on September 23rd, as will a long-in-the-works Shovel Knight game, Shovel Knight Dig. The latter will hit Steam and Nintendo Switch on the same day.
The next epic platformer in the Shovel Knight saga is finally on the horizon!
We are proud to announce that our ambitious co-developed title, Shovel Knight Dig, will be coming to Nintendo Switch, Apple Arcade, & Steam on September 23rd, 2022.

Netflix briefly took Friday off, but now it’s back up.
UPDATE: Aug. 19, 2022, 1:46 p.m. EDT This article has been updated to reflect that the issue had been resolved.
Who among us hasn’t wanted to just walk out of work early on a Friday?
That’s what Netflix did on Friday morning anyway. Users started reporting widespread outages around 11 a.m. ET on the last day of the work week, according to Down Detector (owned by Mashable’s parent company, Ziff Davis). That means the easiest way to catch up on Better Call Saul or rewatch Breaking Bad (sorry, those are the only shows on my mind after the excellent BCS finale this week) waltzed out of the office without telling anyone.
Netflix itself even confirmed the issue on its website. The service worked for me, personally, at the time of writing, and the Down Detector graph started to recede around 11:30 a.m., but plenty of folks around the world still lost out on their ability to stream shows on a Friday. Bummer!

Not long after, Netflix’s site was updated to confirm that the issue had been resolved. A Netflix spokesperson told Mashable it was a “minor glitch” that took less than 10 minutes to resolve.
That means now everyone can catch up on Vince Gilligan’s nuanced, character-driven masterpieces. Seriously, Better Call Saul is so good. I can’t believe it. Go watch it.
