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.

Enotria: The Last Song is Jyamma Games' first game. It has recently been involved in a bit of controversy with Microsoft after alleging that Microsoft had ignored them for over two months regarding their game.

This argument between Microsoft and Apple is far from new, but it has resurfaced again. Earlier in the year, Apple opened its App Store to game streaming services, such as the commonly used Xbox Cloud Gaming and GeForce Now. This allowed a more seamless integration, as users didn't have to use a web app on iPhone and iPad. Despite this, NVIDIA and Microsoft have not made native apps for iOS, which Microsoft has now explicitly explained. Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer already spoke out about Apple earlier this year, saying that Apple's cloud changes haven't gone "far enough" for Xbox. […]

In the past few years, we have repeatedly heard how consoles are about to die, but the former Blizzard Entertainment president Mike Ybarra not only thinks that this won't be the case but also that those losing are pushing a narrative that fits them, taking a not-so-well hidden dig at Microsoft. Speaking on X earlier today, the former Blizzard Entertainment president discussed Sony's approach to exclusive games, saying that it is the correct strategy to follow if you plan to win in the living room. In this regard, Sony not only knows how to make hits but also how to […]

The Xbox Series X sales have increased significantly in Japan following the announcement of a PlayStation 5 price increase which will go into effect next week. As reported by Automaton, on Yodobashi, one of Japan's biggest retailers, the console reached number 8 in the games and consoles charts this morning, which is an amazing result, considering the system wasn't even in the top 100 yesterday. With the PS5's price increase, the Xbox Series X has become an enticing purchase, as it now costs the equivalent of $100 less. In addition, it seems like it has become difficult for Japanese players […]
