Rapid-fire growth. What you need to know Nixxes Software is a team known for its work on PC ports. Sony Worldwide Studios head Hermen Hulst announced that Sony is acquiriing Nixxes Software for PlayStation Studios.

Just days after announcing the acquisition of Returnal developer Housemarque , Head of Sony Worldwide Studios Hermen Hulst announced via Twitter on Thursday that Nixxes Software is also joining the PlayStation first-party family.

Sony’s WF-1000XM4s wireless earbuds leak again with all-new water resistance and ‘V1’ chip

And eight hours of battery life on a single charge We heard earlier this month that Sony may be planning to launch its next noise-canceling true wireless earbuds, the WF-1000XM4s, as early as June, and thanks to new leaks published by WinFuture, we might now know almost all of the specs for the upcoming buds. Like the very good previous-gen WF-1000XM3s, the new WF-1000XM4s will offer active noise cancelation (ANC), but thanks to a new “Sony V1” processor, ANC performance will be improved, WinFuture reports. The headphones will also support Sony’s LDAC codec, which lets you listen to high-quality audio over Bluetooth, WinFuture says. And it sounds like the new 1000XM4s will have a very good battery life, like the 1000XM3s. WinFuture says you’ll be able to get eight hours of battery on a single charge with ANC on and 12 hours with ANC off. Additionally, the 1000XM4s have an IPX4-rating for water and sweat resistance, according to WinFuture. That would be a nice improvement over the W

This huge 4K TV sale drops LG, Samsung, and Sony models as low as $280

If it's time to upgrade your TV to something bigger and better, Woot's huge 4K TV sale is well worth checking out with discounted models from just $280. The sale features a bunch of Samsung smart TVs and LG OLED screens, as well as a few Sony and VIZIO TVs. Though this sale is slated to run until April 19, select models have already sold out so there's really no telling how long supplies will last. All of the TVs in today's sale are offered refurbished, and though they may not be brand new, they've each been inspected and tested to ensure they're in proper working condition. Oftentimes, you can barely notice an item has been used before after it's been refurbished. Plus, Woot includes a 90-day Samsung warranty with the purchase. The sale includes the super neat Samsung The Frame TV. This TV has made a name for itself due to its Art Mode, which transforms the TV when it's off into a work of art — art which you've selected. There are hundreds of pi

Sony’s latest PS5 update will tell you if you’re playing the PS4 version of a game

Sony’s latest PlayStation 5 update seems to have fixed one of the biggest issues with cross-gen games on the console: making it clearer when players have the PlayStation 4 version of a game installed and notifying them when there’s a PS5 version available to download. The feature, spotted by Twitter user Tidux , aims to clarify one of the more frustratingly complex parts of the PlayStation 5. Because the console offers backwards compatibility for all PS4 games — including ones that offer free next-gen PS5 updates, like Assassin’s Creed Valhalla or Destiny 2 — it’s pretty easy to accidentally install the older version of the game. Microsoft has taken a simpler approach to the system, with its Smart Delivery program that will automatically install (or update) a game to the best version for a console. While Sony’s method isn’t quite as easy, it’ll at least make it clearer to players when they have the wrong version installed. The new feature will likely be particularly h
