Xbox Cloud Gaming update gives us a great reason to use Microsoft Edge

Image
If you’re someone who only uses Microsoft Edge to download another browser, you might want to rethink your habits, as it's about to become the best tool for enjoying Xbox’s Cloud Gaming service . Microsoft has just announced that a new Cloud Gaming feature called Clarity Boost is coming exclusively to its first-party browser - and you can try it out today if you’re an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscriber by downloading Microsoft Edge Canary . Clarity Boost does what it says on the tin: it makes the stream’s image clearer and more detailed for the player. You can see what this means practically from the picture below. The character model is overall less blurry with clarity boost switched on; their facial hair and scars look more defined, and their skin glistens in a way that makes it appear more realistic. (Image credit: Microsoft) We aren’t quite sure how Microsoft is managing to pull this off, specifically - all it's said publicly is that the feature uses "clie

Marvel is planning a new Spider-Man trilogy after No Way Home, says Sony producer

Image
Both Sony and Marvel are planning a second Tom Holland-led Spider-Man trilogy after No Way Home , Sony producer Amy Pascal has confirmed.  Speaking to Fandango in a recent interview, Pascal revealed that the studio is “getting ready to make the next Spider-Man movie with Tom Holland and Marvel,” adding that “we’re thinking of [the Homecoming trilogy] as three films, and now we’re going to go onto the next three. This is not the last of our MCU movies.”  While Sony insiders have attached the caveat that no plans are official just yet (per THR ), the studio supposedly has a “strong relationship” with Holland and Marvel boss Kevin Feige, boosting hopes that collaboration will continue between all three parties. The news comes just weeks before the release of Spider-Man: No Way Home, which is set to hit theaters on December 15, 2021 and intended to tie up the so-called Homecoming trilogy of movies (following Homecoming and Far From Home in 2017 and 2019, respectively).

Halo Infinite’s controversial Battle Pass progression just got a whole lot better

Image
Halo Infinite will now reward players with significantly more XP for completing the first six matches of each day, which should make progressing through the game’s Battle Pass a lot easier. 343 Industries’ community manager John Junyszek announced on Twitter that players would now receive increased XP. The first game of each day will reward players with 300 XP, the second and third games will grant players 200 XP, while the fourth, fifth and sixth games will give players 100 XP. After that, it’s back to the regular 50 XP payout.  Junyszek hopes the change will benefit those who jump on and play each day, but stressed that the team at 343 is aware that “many of you want even larger changes and we’re committed to doing so,” but noted that “those will take time.” When we made our initial change to progression, which added Daily "Play 1 Game" Challenges, updated Weekly Challenges, and doubled the duration of 2XP Boosts, we promised that we'd monitor the data and make a

Cryptocurrency is down, but that's good

Image
As November 2021 draws to a close, there’s one thing that crypto market data can tell us in confidence; crypto retail investors can be a dramatic bunch. The pullback in traditional markets resulting from the new Covid variant making its way into the media has played a big part in driving the current crypto market dip. But rather than seeing this as a healthy correction and a prime buy-in opportunity, general crypto market sentiment took a nosedive over the weekend, with the fear and greed index flashing ‘extreme fear’. If you’re taking a long-term approach to grow your crypto portfolio, as you should be, there is more than enough data to support the idea that fears surrounding the current dip have been wildly exaggerated. Not only is this dip just another phase in a predictable crypto price cycle, but it has also shown the extent to which large-cap altcoins have decoupled from Bitcoin’s price movements. This is great news for investors who have been patiently waiting for signs of an

Xiaomi's new cheap Redmi phone is here and it's... exactly the same as the last one

There's a new Xiaomi phone on the block – well, on the globe, though you won't be able to buy it any time soon. The Redmi Note 11T just landed: it has only launched in India so far, though you might find the device very familiar. That's because the new Note 11T is more than a dead ringer for the Redmi Note 11 in most ways – it's basically the same phone. That device was unveiled in China in early November, and the T variant is just the same device renamed for India. Check out our Redmi Note 10 Pro review The OnePlus 10 is anticipated soon too These are the best 5G phones The one key shift in the Note 11T is the design: instead of having flat edges like the Note 11, it uses a more traditional curved frame. Could we eventually see this phone available more widely? Almost definitely – Redmi has a habit of staggering its phone launches around the world, so we wouldn't be surprised if the Note 11 line lands in Europe and the UK at some point in the next few mo

Neos Networks reaches 700 unbundled exchanges

Neos Networks has reached its target of unbundling 550 BT exchanges before the end of 2021, bringing its total fibre footprint across the UK to more than 34,000 kilometres.

What time is Hawkeye episode 3 released on Disney Plus?

Image
Spoilers follow for Hawkeye episodes 1 and 2. Hawkeye episode 3 arrives on Disney Plus later this week. That's right, the next installment in the latest MCU TV show lands on the streamer on Wednesday, December 1 , so we've only got a couple more days to wait for its arrival. Last time out, Clint Barton and Kate Bishop were left in a bit of a pickle. The former had turned himself over to the Tracksuit Mafia and was expecting to be interrogated by Echo – the deaf, highly skilled superhero, who appears to be working for someone else, and who was seen at the very end of episode 2. Kate, meanwhile, was attempting to save Clint from his captors. But her break-out plan goes awry and now the duo are likely to be questioned at length, and it'll be interesting (and no doubt amusing) to see what happens next. So you'll want to know what time episode 3 of Hawkeye will actually be released on Disney Plus. Before we get to that, though, what else may be in store?  We're ex
