Last week, we wrote news that Netflix has hired a new executive to overlook the gaming expansion business. With such an exciting development, it was confirmed from the company's Q2 2021 financial report that they are now in the early stages.

Back in May, we reported that there was a rumour of Netflix venturing into gaming and it has surfaced again. According to sources, Netflix has hired a former Electronic Arts and Facebook executive, named Mike Verdu to join the cause.

In the last few months, Microsoft has been working hard to push its games services to a wider audience. One of the company's biggest move is the Xbox Game Pass, which is meant to allow games streaming on other devices. Now, it's confirmed that Smart TVs are next.

When it comes to Netflix, it's often synonymous with movies and TV shows but gaming? Well, that's something new. From this latest news, Netflix might actually explore and expand further with a new gaming bundle. It sounds intriguing and it is exactly what you think it is, so read on below.

It seems that Apple CEO Tim Cook has recently hinted at a bunch of stuff the upcoming Apple AR Glasses could be capable of such as being able to play AR games, home design, and more. While not much is known in regards to the Malaysia release date, it does give us a better idea of what to expect when it is available in the global market.

Following Apple's App Store purge, HUAWEI has also removed some games from their app store today. However, the Chinese tech giant is only removing the games that are developed by Tencent specifically rather than thousands of them.

It looks like Apple had started a purge on the App Store before 2020 ends. Today, the news came reporting that the tech giant has removed more than 46,000 apps in total from their China store, and 39,000 of them are unlicensed games by Chinese authorities.

It seems that the Microsoft digital games store has recently placed a warning label on the Cyberpunk 2077 page, stating that those who purchased the game for the Xbox One might experience performance issues while playing. Those who are unsatisfied with how the game ran can request for a refund, which can be done via Microsoft’s official website.

Based on a statement by tecnoblog.com, it seems that the Sony PlayStation 5 will support Wi-Fi 6 as well as Bluetooth 5.1 connectivity, which not only allows for a much faster download speed over Wi-Fi but also much better stability. To those who are not familiar with Wi-Fi 6, it allows the transfer of data up to 32 times faster compared to Wi-Fi 4 that’s supported by the Sony PlayStation 4.

If there are any Square Enix games that you are interested in purchasing, now might be a good chance to get them. The publisher is running a Stay Home & Play campaign to encourage gamers to practise social distancing (not that we really needed the prompt!) by releasing a huge Steam bundle. This bundle is a huge one as it contains 54 titles from Square Enix's collection of published games.
