One month after going free, ‘Evolve’ averages 15,000 players
Pick a random moment in June and you’d likely find about 100 people playing Turtle Rock Studios’ Evolve on Steam. That’s not a lot of players in general, but this number is especially sad for a game billed as an online multiplayer extravaganza. One and a half years after launch, it looked like Evolve was dying. And then, in July, Evolve’s active player base shot up to an average of 15,400 at any given time on Steam, according to current lead designer Brandon Yanez.
This didn’t happen by accident: Developers at Turtle Rock knew they had to take drastic action to save Evolve and so, on July 7th, they did. They made the game free on PC.
Evolve originally cost $60, the standard price of a AAA video game, and it launched alongside a bevy of pricey downloadable extras. This flood of day-one DLC was one reason the game simply didn’t resonate, even though it received a ton of pre-release buzz from critics and players alike.
“There was a ton of conversation in the community with regard to business models rather than discussion on the game itself,” Yanez said.
When Turtle Rock released Evolve into the wild, it landed smack in the middle of a “DLC shitstorm,” according to studio founders Chris Ashton and Phil Robb. It was early 2015, and gaming forums and blogs were rife with conversations about developers overloading their titles with pricey downloadable content. Many players were sick of it and extremely vocal about their displeasure. Any mention of DLC, especially tied to a $60 AAA game, instantly ignited comment sections and Twitter.
And Evolve certainly had a lot of DLC from day one. Players lambasted it for this fact, which surely influenced some people’s decision to not buy the game. However, DLC wasn’t Evolve’s only problem.
The game had a steep learning curve, Yanez said, meaning many players couldn’t jump in and have fun right off the bat. On top of that, the game simply wasn’t fun until late in each round. Evolve used an asymmetrical multiplayer strategy where four players acted as hunters, each with an individual skill, and one person embodied a Lovecraftian kind of monster that attempted to evade capture and take down the other players. It looked like a fast-paced, hectic kind of game, but Yanez said it was criticized for being a “running simulator” before the monster gained all of its abilities.
Basically, until that point, Evolve was boring.
“After seeing our original player base decline and after reviewing a ton of feedback, we realized we needed to change the game so that it was faster-paced, less role dependent and more accessible,” Yanez said.
Going free was always on the table for Turtle Rock. Plenty of team members were fans of other free multiplayer games and they talked about the option early on in Evolve’s development. Some of the most successful online multiplayer games in recent memory have been free, including League of Legends, Dota 2 and Hearthstone. Shooters, however, tend to have an entry price — think Overwatch, Counter-Strike, Call of Duty or Destiny. Evolve was well within its genre’s boundaries when it launched at $60. However, its sluggish gameplay simply didn’t support a large, captive audience.
Evolve Stage 2, as developers dubbed the free version, didn’t just include a price drop; it reworked how the entire game operated. The hunters were overhauled, lending them all a more robust set of skills, rather than rigidly defined roles. For example, originally, only the hunter known as a “trapper” could deploy a dome that caught the monster, but Stage 2 gave that power to all hunters. Plus, monsters started with enough skill points to unlock all of their abilities right away.
The message was clear: No more running simulators.
“That has probably been the most exciting thing about this first month [as a free game] so far, is how much has changed simply because our community asked for it,” Yanez said. “We feel that has been the biggest difference. You still find wonderful people who become exceptional members of the community, but now there are way more opportunities for community growth and engagement with a much wider audience we could’ve never reached if we remained a ‘paid’ community.”
Evolve Stage 2 hit Steam for free on July 7th, bringing with it all of the content that Turtle Rock had previously released for the game. Since then, more than 1 million people have tried it out, and it hit a peak of 25,000 concurrent players just two days after going free. One month in, an average of 15,000 active players means Evolve certainly isn’t dead just yet.
The game still has a base price on consoles, for now. Turtle Rock said that if the PC experiment goes well — meaning, if Evolve can sustain a large and steady player base — it’ll go free on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 as well.
To that end, the studio is focused on regularly updating and tweaking Evolve on PC in a bid to keep players interested. Turtle Rock recently kicked off “Shear Madness,” a month-long event that will introduce three new characters, three fresh map variants, a new game mode and a bunch of community-requested features.
This is a far cry from where the game would be if it had remained a paid product.
“We’d be reaching the tail end of our life cycle,” Yanez said. “It’s exciting for us to see people giving the game another chance, but we know this is only the beginning.”
MacRumors Giveaway: Win a Smart Home Starter Kit From Yonomi
For this week’s giveaway, we’ve teamed up with smart home app Yonomi to give away a Smart Home Starter Kit consisting of a Sonos Play:1, an Amazon Echo, and two LIFX Wi-Fi connected lightbulbs, all of which can be controlled together using the Yonomi app for iOS devices.
Yonomi is designed to connect to more than 60 smart home products from companies like Withings, Philips, Quirky, Sonos, Nest, Belkin, and more, allowing users to group and control devices that normally would not work together.
Smart home products come from a wide range of manufacturers and usually require their own dedicated apps that don’t interface – Yonomi bridges them all together and makes it possible to create Routines for a true automated smart home experience. Yonomi also includes easily accessible favorites options and customized smart home recommendations.
With Yonomi and the products in the giveaway, for example, a “Wake Up” routine can be created that’ll turn both the LIFX light bulb and the Sonos speaker on at the same time through a voice command to the Amazon Echo. Yonomi is highly customizable and routines can be created for all kinds of situations.
A “Bed Time” routine might dim the LIFX bulbs to night light level and turn on soft lullabies on the Sonos for the kids, while a “Party” routine might set the bulbs to different colors and play the appropriate music. All of the routines can be initiated through the Echo, which is super convenient, and the Echo can also control other connected products and respond to individual commands.
As for the products themselves, the Sonos Play:1, LIFX bulbs, and Amazon Echo are all popular smart home choices that tap into a home’s Wi-Fi network. The Play:1 is one of Sonos’ most popular speakers, the LIFX bulbs can turn any color, and the Amazon Echo is a central hub that can play music and respond to a huge range of voice commands.
Yonomi’s app is available directly from the App Store for those who would like to try it out with their existing products, and one MacRumors reader will also win the full Smart Home prize pack.

Beoplay H5 Review: B&O’s Bluetooth Earbuds Sound Great, but They’re Pricey
With the controversial removal of the headphone jack from Apple’s upcoming iPhone range a seeming inevitability, audio companies are already ramping up Bluetooth headset options ahead of the devices’ launch in the fall.
In June, premium audio heavyweight brand Bose debuted a wireless version of its flagship over-the-ear headphones with the QuietComfort 35’s. Not to be outdone, last month Danish audio big hitter B&O entered the fray with its Beoplay H5 Bluetooth buds, a pair of high-end magnetized earphones designed “for music lovers who live to move.”
Design and Features
As with most products bearing the Bang & Olufsen moniker, the Beoplay H5 buds aren’t exactly cheap at $249, but apart from the luxury brand cachet that comes with them, they promise premium performance in a compact package whatever your lifestyle, designed to segue seamlessly between a fitness routine and a daily commute, for example.
The dust and sweat-proof earpieces are made of a featherweight polymer-rubber compound with a branded aluminum disc on the rear, and each bud has a neck about an inch in length, with the power/pairing LED on one ear.
The buds are connected by a 52 cm (~20 in) cord sheathed in a soft braided textile that sits over the nape of your neck during wear, with an inline remote on the left-hand side and a hidden omnidirectional mic built in for taking calls.
Each earpiece contains a magnet, so you can clasp them together securely for them to rest around your neck when they’re not in use. In another neat design feature, clicking the magnets together also auto-powers down the earphones to save battery.
Seven pairs of eartips come supplied – three sizes of Comply Sport memory foam tips offering a malleable seal, and four sizes of standard silicone molded tips.
Also included in the box are cable clips, a carry pouch, a quickstart guide, and a unique magnetized “cubic charger” with two molded recesses that the earpieces snap into, with a cable running out the rear with a USB connector attached.
The earbuds connect to a source device using the latest version of Bluetooth (4.2) and support high-quality AAC and aptX codecs – only newer MacBooks, not iPhones, support the latter as of writing.
Audio output can be adjusted via the easy-to-use Beoplay iOS (or Apple Watch) app, which offers four presets for different activities (workout, commute, clear, podcast) and a ‘Tonetouch’ graphical equalizer to customize the sound further.
Once you’ve adjusted the output to your liking, you can save the audio profile directly to the earbuds, allowing you to set and forget. If you’re an Apple Watch wearer, you can choose between presets from your wrist, too.
Performance
Pairing the buds was a one-click affair of the power button on the inline remote, and the volume buttons proved to have the typical dual-functionality for moving between tracks, with the power/pair button also taking and ending calls.
Out of the box, the H5’s sound decent enough, offering a flat, natural reproduction and a close, friendly soundstage. Treble was a tad too crisp at times, but with a bit of adjustment via the accompanying app it was easily dealt with, and once I had a custom profile set, they really came into their own.
The controlled bass and clearly defined mid- and high-range detail of the H5’s serve rock, hip-hop, and instrumental genres extremely well, with jazz tracks reminding me of Vibe’s eminently balanced Brass Ba11 buds and their intimate, inclusive sound. As for the mic, it had no trouble picking my voice out over the din of a typical commute on public transport.
The earphones remained comfortable to wear, whether I was working out or casually listening to music, although the left earpiece had a habit of slowly loosening when I was on the move which broke the insulating seal and let sounds leak in from outside.
That got annoying after a while, so I switched to the Comply eartips and chose a larger left tip (I have odd-sized lugholes, apparently) which solved the problem.
I loaned the H5’s to a friend who complained that the left bud kept flying out of her ear during a high-intensity exercise routine due to the added weight of the inline remote, even after she swapped the tips for a bigger size. I couldn’t replicate the issue myself using the memory foam tips and the buds stayed securely in place whatever I was doing, but this should serve as a warning to potential buyers.
I was underwhelmed by the stated five-hour battery life of the H5’s (confirmed in my own tests) given that buds in Jaybird’s wireless range offer up to eight hours’ listening time, but in practice I only wore the H5’s two hours a day on average and it wasn’t a huge inconvenience to charge them for a couple of hours every other night – your mileage may vary.
Bottom Line
$250 earbuds will be a hard sell for many people. Personally I couldn’t justify it, but if you have the spare cash and are fond of luxury kit, then I suppose it’s not a deal breaker. Overall, the Beoplay H5 earphones are a lovingly designed, solid bit of kit. To be fair, it’s the least I’d expect at this hefty price, and happily they deliver.
The magnetized buds and auto-off feature are signature B&O design wins, as is the supplied charging cube – it’s just a shame the charge doesn’t last a few hours longer. I’d also advise to be careful not to lose the charger; it’s not like you’d be able to replace it with a standard micro-USB cable, as with some other wireless buds.
My only real design gripe was with the inline remote – its surface smoothness made it hard to find which was which volume control when out of my line of sight. After a while though, I became familiar with the layout and it became a non-issue.
Sonically the H5’s are rich, well-balanced, and pack a satisfying punch, and with some subtle audio profile manipulation you can easily adjust the output to your musical taste. Still, this is a significant investment, and for that reason I’d recommend you try the buds before you buy, even if that’s just to see if the tips play nice with your earholes. If they sound great and sit securely – and you can live with the middling battery life – then this luxury wireless headset could be an ideal match for your iPhone, headphone jack or no.
Pros
- Slick, comfy, considered design
- Plenty of supplied eartips to choose from
- Decent built-in mic and excellent audio output
- App presets that make a difference
Cons
- Battery life isn’t spectacular
- Inline remote mold unhelpfully smooth
- Achieving a secure eartip fit may be an issue for some
- Very expensive for earbuds
How to Buy
The Beoplay H5 earbuds cost $249, are available in black or dusty rose, and can be ordered on the B&O PLAY website.
Note: B&O PLAY provided the H5 earphones to MacRumors free of charge for the purposes of this review. No other compensation was received.

Apple Acquires Machine Learning and AI Startup Turi
Apple recently purchased Seattle-based machine learning and artificial intelligence startup Turi, reports GeekWire. Apple is said to have paid around $200 million to acquire the company, which was known as “Dato” until earlier this month.
Turi is designed to help developers build apps with artificial intelligence capabilities that automatically scale. It has developed the Turi Machine Learning Platform, GraphLab Create, and Turi Predictive Services, used for functions like recommendations, fraud detection, sentiment analysis, and more.
Turi toolkits simplify development of machine learning models. Each incorporates automatic feature engineering, model selection, and machine learning visualizations specific to the application. There is no faster way to build performant models.
Citing people familiar with the acquisition, GeekWire says Turi employees will remain in the Seattle area, where Apple has been establishing a presence over the past few years.
Apple confirmed the acquisition with the standard purchase statement it gives to media outlets: “Apple buys smaller technology companies from time to time, and we generally do not discuss our purpose or plans.”
It is not known what Apple will do with Turi’s technology, but Apple has made several AI-related purchases in recent months including VocalIQ, Perceptio, and Emotient.

Apple May Build $1 Billion Research and Development Center in Vietnam
Apple may be planning to build a research and development center in Vietnam, reports Vietnamese site BizLive. Work on the R&D center, which will be located in the Vietnamese central province of Da Nang, was uncovered following a local government meeting on foreign direct investment.

Rumors earlier this year suggested Apple would invest up to $1 billion to build an Asia-focused research and development center in Vietnam, designed to “enhance its competitiveness over major global electronic manufacturers present in the country.” Last October, Apple also established an Apple Vietnam LLC in Ho Chi Minh City, led by Gene Daniel Levoff, Apple’s VP of corporate law who is also in charge of international operations.
Companies like Microsoft, Intel, and Samsung have had investment projects in Vietnam for several years, but the R&D center will be Apple’s first major project in the country.
A final decision on whether the research center plans will move forward is expected in late August.
