HHW Gaming: Sony Announces “All-New PlayStation Plus Subscription Service,” Heres What You Get
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: PlayStation / All-New PlayStation Plus PlayStation’s answer to Xbox Game Pass was the company’s worst-kept secret, but now we know finally know when to expect from it when it launches this year. Originally called “Spartacus,” Sony pulled the lid off the All-New PlayStation Plus via the PlayStation Blog. As many have reported, the new subscription service will see PS Now and PS Plus merge into a three-tier system to form the “Xbox Game Pass competitor.” The new service will feature up to 700 games plus access to retro games, but there is a catch, you must be subscribed to the top tier. So here are the deets. There will be three-tiers PlayStation Plus Essential, PlayStation Plus Extra, and PlayStation Plus Premium, when it arrives. PS Now will become a thin...
Google to Reduce App Commission Fees for Spotify Under Expanded Pact
Users who download the Spotify app from the Google Play store will soon be able to decide whether to subscribe to the audio streaming service using Google Play or Spotify’s separate payment services, the companies said Wednesday. The updated payment feature will roll out later this year and will essentially allow Spotify to lose less in commission fees to Google, should users choose to subscribe to the streaming service via Spotify’s payment service. Last October, shortly after the high-profile antitrust case between Apple and Epic Games that ruled, in part, that Apple’s 30 percent commission fee for in-app purchases was acceptable, Google said it would be decreasing its service fees on in-app Android subscriptions to 15 percent beginning in January 2022. Specific terms of the revenue shar...

HHW Gaming Exclusive: ‘Halo The Series’ Showrunner & Executive Producer Speak About Making Better Video Game Movies & TV Shows
Video Games developed into films, and now television shows should be a homerun for studios because they are rich with source material to work with, but as we all know for a long time, that hasn’t been the case for many years. Thanks to shows like Halo The Series and other successful movies based on video games, that trend seems to be coming to an end. Halo The Series is just one day away from premiering on Paramount+, but the show is already polarizing, dividing franchise fans. The show, which is nine years in the making, follows Pablo Schreiber’s Master Chief and the Silver Team on a new timeline, moving away from the messy one we have experienced in the insanely-popular Halo video games. The idea the game is not sticking with the storyline, Schreiber’s version of the John 117 taken off h...

Need an Edge to Your Business? Take a Fresh Look At Your Security Strategy
Sourced from International IDEA As we all start to get a better view of what the future might hold, organisations need to look again at their security strategy. But first, we need to take stock. After the initial shock of lockdowns and mass remote working, what have we learned from the past two years as we all attempted to adjust to the new reality? You’re working in a landscape of increasing threats and vulnerabilities The widespread shift to the cloud to support those working remotely has inadvertently created a much larger attack surface. The sheer number of new locations, devices, and networks organisations are managing today alone calls for a security rethink – a need that’s magnified by a year-on-year increase in threats. And the pandemic has magnified the problem, sending a huge wav...
HHW Gaming Exclusve: Yerin Ha & Jen Taylor Talk ‘Halo The Series’ & Cortana’s New Look
The highly anticipated Halo Series has plenty of callbacks to the insanely popular first-person shooting video game, pleasing old fans while introducing new elements to ease in potential new fans.

While Chief is on his mission, the Spartan’s creator, Dr. Halsey (Natascha McElhon...
HHW Tech Review: The Galaxy Note Lives On In Samsung’s New S22 Ultra Smartphone
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Bernard Smalls (@BeanzGotGamez) / Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra Samsung took a bold step with one of its latest flagship smartphones, and it was a VERY wise decision. After months of speculation, Samsung casually “killed off” its relatively popular Galaxy Note model, making the exceptional Note20 Ultra the device’s swan song. At the same time, Samsung also decided to keep what made the Note line great and just introduce it into the S22 Ultra model, bringing together loyal Note users and with the other Galaxy smartphone users. A decision that we believe will benefit Samsung in the long run. Display Source: Bernard Smalls (@BeanzGotGamez) / Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra One area where Samsung always delivers with its flagship smartphones is the display, and with the ...
