Apple Might Launch Its Own Smart Home Camera As It Focuses On Providing A More Integrated Product Experience For Its Users

Wccftech.com - 0
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.

Now, a new report suggests that the company intends to create a fully integrated experience by developing its own smart home accessories.

Microsoft Still Evaluating Whether to Put CoD on Game Pass (and a Game Pass Price Increase), Hellblade II PS5

Wccftech.com - 0
Following the unexpected move to shut down three game studios and merge another with ZeniMax Online, we learned that Microsoft is still planning more cuts to its Xbox division. But that's not the full extent of the company's re-evaluation of its gaming strategy. According to The Verge's Tom Warren, Microsoft is still pondering whether to put Call of Duty on Game Pass. Call of Duty is a big driver of Activision Blizzard's revenue, after all, and there are concerns that adding the games to the subscription service could reduce that revenue as players stop purchasing Call of Duty at full […]

Xbox Will Reportedly Cut More Jobs, Arkane and Tango Were Pitching New Projects Pre-Closure

Wccftech.com - 0
Earlier this week, Microsoft announced a number of their studios were being shuttered, including Arkane Austin (Prey, Redfall), Tango Gameworks (The Evil Within, Hi-Fi Rush), and Alpha Dog Games, while Roundhouse Studios will be absorbed into ZeniMax Online Studios to work on The Elder Scrolls Online. This follows nearly 1,900 layoffs earlier in the year, largely from Microsoft’s newly-acquired Activision Blizzard teams. Unfortunately, it seems this isn’t the end of the pain. According to Bloomberg’s reliable Jason Schreier, folks across the Xbox organization have been told more cuts are on the way. It’s unclear at the moment which divisions will […]

Xbox Game Pass, PS Plus and Other Gaming Subscription Spending Up Only 1 Percent Over 2023

Wccftech.com - 0
For a while in the late 2010/early 2020s, it seemed liked gaming subscriptions may be the future of the hobby. Microsoft certainly wanted us to think it was the future, pushing Xbox Game Pass every chance they got, and Sony eventually joined the party with their own expanded PlayStation Plus service. Ultimately though, enthusiasm for gaming subscription services hit a wall. Xbox Game Pass badly missed growth targets back in 2022, and since then, execs like Phil Spencer have struck a more reserved tone when discussing subscriptions, saying Game Pass would likely never account for more than 10 to 15 […]
