Xbox is porting two classic Call of Duty games to PlayStation — and they’re coming very, very soon

Treyarch announced that Call of Duty: Black Ops (2010) and Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 (2012) will be ported to PlayStation platforms, likely for PS4 and PS5, starting in July. Iron Galaxy Studios will handle the modernization of these titles. The games have been available on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S since 2016 through Microsoft's Backwards Compatibility Program. There are uncertainties about whether existing PS3 owners will access the new versions for free or transfer their progress. The new ports are expected to integrate with the existing server network. Xbox and PC players have expressed frustration over issues with Black Ops and Black Ops 2 on Xbox, including a locked 720p resolution and hacking problems, as well as the absence of these titles on Xbox Game Pass.

As Dead by Daylight turns 10, Behavior unveils game-changing overhaul that will “make the next ten better than the first”

Dead by Daylight has evolved over ten years from a lineup of three characters to 43, including iconic horror figures. The game has expanded into comic books, spin-offs, and music. Executive Producer José Ramos confirmed there will not be a Dead by Daylight 2, focusing instead on evolving the existing game. A significant visual update is planned for 2027, enhancing character animations, environments, and audio. New creative modding capabilities and prototypes for new game modes, including a 1v1 experience and a zombie mode, are in development. The anniversary event will introduce a new survivor, Shane Wiigwaas, the first Indigenous character, and improvements to voiceovers for existing survivors. A new zone related to Dwight Fairfield's backstory will be added, and upcoming content includes new horror icons and collaborations with various franchises.

Apple removed the Russian messenger Max and deprived 20 million users of access

Russian officials and propaganda outlets have expressed discontent with Apple's decision to remove the state-sponsored messenger app, Max, from its App Store without prior notice. Apple cited compliance with sanctions legislation as the reason for its action, leading to backlash in Russia where the company is labeled as "enemies." The Max messenger, developed in Russia, is used for disseminating propaganda and maintaining control over internet access, and its removal has made it inaccessible to over 20 million users in Russia, reducing the effectiveness of state-sponsored propaganda. The Russian government is attempting to create a "digital iron curtain" for surveillance and internet restriction, while propaganda narratives portray the country as technologically advanced, despite reliance on foreign companies. Russia has become a global leader in the number of app removals from the App Store, and reports indicate that schools in occupied territories are being forced to use the Max messenger for communication.
