Apple is increasingly focusing on building its own devices and expanding its ecosystem by taking steps towards a more native experience for users and relying less on third-party accessories. While the Cupertino-based tech giant's HomePod and AppleTV have left quite the mark in the smart home category, it generally relies more on outsourcing cameras and other hardware for smart homes. Now, a new report suggests that the company intends to create a fully integrated experience by developing its own smart home accessories. Gurman hints about Apple working on making smart home products like security cameras for a more integrated experience […]

Call of Duty Black Ops 6 is the first entry in the annual blockbuster to be announced and released since Microsoft acquired it along with the rest of Activision Blizzard last October. And, by all accounts, it’s giving Xbox the boost it needed during a ...
Early signs on Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 sales and overall reception were great, and now we have confirmation from Microsoft and Activision. During the company's Q1 2025 earnings call, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella revealed that the game set new franchise records and also helped the Game Pass subscription service reach records of its own. One year since we closed our acquisition of Activision Blizzard King, we are focused on building a business positioned for long-term growth, driven by higher-margin content and services. You already see this transformation in our results as we diversify the ways that gamers access […]
Xbox has been struggling recently when it comes to finances, as its consoles aren't selling as well as the company had hoped. As a result, they have started pushing their software and subscription services more. Despite that, they made several changes to the subscription costs of Xbox Game Pass, which led to a lot of outrage from people in the gaming community as the prices increased. The price wasn't just adjusted in one country, but the price for Game Pass Ultimate, Core, and PC Game Pass were all increased, with the cost of Game Pass Ultimate increasing from $16 to […]
Call of Duty may be an annual tradition, but that doesn’t mean everyone can play autumn’s hottest first-person shooter every year. With each new edition, countless new players pick up the franchise for the first time, and then immediately put it back d...
It isn't a surprise that people would be excited for the new Call of Duty game, as the franchise has been a mainstay in the gaming industry for years. To celebrate the launch, Activision has put a lot of work into the marketing for the game, and it's claimed by the UK network EE and BT that Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has drawn the largest traffic ever for a game launch in the country. If this is true, this is a huge milestone for the franchise and for Activision, but it also doesn't come as much of a […]
Earlier this week, I felt a feeling I hadn’t felt in a long while: I was looking forward to the release of a Call of Duty game. Black Ops 6, the latest installment in the long-running Call of Duty sub-series, has spent the last several months hyping up...
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 features a broken implementation of all three major upscalers, resulting in minimal performance improvements despite rendering at lower resolutions. As reported on the game's subreddit by Important_Shake_1491, every upscaler apparently has a performance overhead of around 40% when enabled, meaning that whenever NVIDIA DLSS, AMD FSR, or Intel XeSS are enabled, the base framerate drops around 40% before getting increased by upscaling. This issue, according to the user, was also present in later seasons of Modern Warfare III and hasn't been fixed. The user also provided some benchmark results from tests conducted on two […]
It's GeForce NOW Thursday, which means another weekly update that adds several PC games to NVIDIA's leading cloud streaming platform. By far the most popular is Activision's Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, which launches tomorrow on all platforms. Its addition to GFN is not surprising at all, given that the beta was already playable through GeForce NOW. As usual, some players might scoff at the mere thought of playing a competitive shooter with added latency from cloud streaming, but for those playing casually, it might not be much of an issue, especially if they are subscribed to the Ultimate […]
In a new blog post by the Call of Duty staff, it's been explained what Primary, Secondary, and Melee weapons are going to be coming to Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 when it launches on October 25, 2024. The blog post also goes into detail about how players will be able to create Global Weapon Builds, as well as how the weapons unlock. In total, there will be an arsenal of 33 different armaments that you can utilize to customize your weapon to your liking, including 12 weapons that are all completely new to the franchise. Call of Duty: […]
Posted on the official Call of Duty X account, the pre-load details have been announced, alongside launch times of the game and system requirements for those who are playing the game on PC. Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will require players to have 102 GB of space available on their SSD to be able to install the title, with the system requirements being rather respectable for the recommended settings, at the very least. The game will be released globally by October 25. Those who are in American time zones will be able to play the game as of October […]
In a new announcement, Microsoft has announced that three major Call of Duty games will be available for Xbox Cloud Gaming via Xbox Game Pass Ultimate from 25 October 2024. This is a huge occasion for those who want to play Call of Duty but don't want to pay the hefty price tag that often comes along with the games. As we already know, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is a day-one release for Xbox Game Pass, but having these games available via Xbox Cloud Gaming means those with less powerful rigs will be able to dive into them.

Today, the Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Global Launch Gameplay Trailer was released, with the countdown officially started. The game is set to release this month, with Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 arriving globally on October 25, 2024. For most games, a launch trailer does not typically come out this early and is usually released a few days before the game's full release, if anything. However, the global launch trailer has been released with 18 days until release. For the first time in many years, this is the first time Activision has decided not to go for an […]
