Fortnite Cross-Platform Play Finally Implemented By Sony On PlayStation 4

While this possibility seemed unrealistic for Fornite players and developers, now, the PS4 adopted cross-platform play. Fans of the famous Fortnite Battle Royale on PS4 will be able to compete with those that play the game on other platforms, such as Xbox, Android, Microsoft Windows, and so on.

For several months now, the possibility of allowing gamers that use different platforms to compete with each other has been a hot topic. Also, Fortnite, the game developed by Epic Games, continues to bring in new players and this very popularity made Xbox and Nintendo to accept cross-platform play last June, a measure that, before, nobody considered possible. However, Sony had been very skeptical on this one, arguing its refusal to join other manufacturers with commercial and security reasons.

Luckily, Sony changes its mind and now allows Fortnite cross-platform play.

Sony adopts Fortnite cross-platform play on PlayStation 4

The official announcement was made on the PlayStation blog by no other than Sony Interactive Entertainment President John Kodera. It states that “after a thorough evaluation, Sony has found a way to implement cross-platform play function support for some third-party content.”

The cross-platform play allows players on different platforms, be it Xbox, Nintendo Switch, PC, or smartphone, to play with each other online. So this feature was well-received by fans as it’s enhancing the multiplayer gameplay of the accepted titles. Also, according to Sony, the Japanese manufacturer is working now working on the cross-platform play for other titles than Fortnite, as well.

Available since today, the Fortnite cross-platform play on PlayStation 4 “will enable multi-platform gaming, progression, and commerce across PlayStation 4, Android, iOS, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Microsoft Windows, and Mac operating systems.” That is an important step forward for Sony and its PlayStation, but also for all gamers of the famous Battle Royale title.

World Of Warcraft: Classic To Be Playable on November 2nd

If you’re a World of Warcraft fan, then we have excellent news for you. On November 2nd, World of Warcraft: Classic will be playable at Blizzcon. However, there’s a catch. Namely, you should buy a Virtual Ticket to be able to play the demo.

“Shortly after the Blizzcon opening ceremony on November 2 (on or around 1 PM PDT), players will be able to download the same in-development BlizzCon World of Warcraft: Classic Demo that will be playable on the show floor,” Blizzcon said. “Players will have a chance to explore and enjoy a limited questing experience through a pair of classic early-level zones – one Horde and one Alliance – and experience firsthand our recreation of the original Azeroth,” Blizzard added.

However, the World of Warcraft: Classic servers will go live immediately after the opening ceremony of the Blizzcon, but everyone who remembers the launch of WoW servers knows that there is a waiting time.

World of Warcraft: Classic to be playable on November 2nd until November 8th

In a bonus video released by Blizzard, the game developer confirmed that a World of Warcraft: Classic panel would also be included during the Blizzcon conference. During the meeting, Blizzcon plans to present where they stand with the new game’s progress and what we should expect. Also, Blizzcon will reveal the challenges they had to overcome to the technical difficulties of porting ancient code.

Ion Hazzikostas, the director of the World of Warcraft: Classic game, announced that the demo would be playable from November 2nd until November 8th, but suggested that the period could be extended. On the other hand, Hazzikostas said nothing about the full version’s release date so all we have to do is wait for the Blizzcon conference when the game developer might present us some more details on World of Warcraft: Classic.

The Sims 5 New Details and What to Expect From It

Looking back in time at the moment when The Sims 4 was released, we remember that Grant Rodiek, the senior producer on the game, mentioned that we should expect The Sims 5 only in case the current game was not a success. We know now that the game is enjoying enormous popularity amongst its fans, so should we hope for a new version anytime soon? Obviously, it’s pretty hard to imagine the company letting go of such a profitable series.

Why should there be a new Sims game

Despite its success, The Sims 4 has its own problems which cannot really be fixed with DLCs and expansion packs. Because of this, we definitely hope to see a new game in the series and we hope to hear an announcement about this soon. We pretty much already know that The Sims 5 is about to be released, for the simple fact that the timing is right and EA is always into profit. You probably know by now that a new Sims game was launched every 5 years, which means that we would expect to see the release of The Sims 5 sometime in 2019. The Sims 4 was clearly a huge success, as it sold 5 million copies on PC, however, there are still things to improve.

When should we expect an announcement

We believe that we should see an official announcement of The Sims 5 any time this year. When it comes to the release of the game, in case it actually stays within the pattern of all previous tiles, we should expect a date somewhere next year.

What to expect from The Sims 5

The lack of cars in The Sims 4 is definitely a big inconvenience, so we expect to see cars in the next title. Another big problem is the fact that we no longer have an open world in the current game, which is certainly not a good thing, as it makes the gameplay feel very limited. We also expect to see parenthood included in The Sims 5, especially since it was added for the console version of The Sims 4. Nevertheless, the fans are also waiting for a completely new expansion pack, mobile integration and more personality traits.

WhatsApp Plus Update – Is it Safe to Download?

It is no news that communications costs are high and everybody wants to save up on them. This is when WhatsApp comes into the game as it helps us get in touch with the people we care for without paying too much.

Even though this is a free up available for downloading, it might seem to limit to some users. Sometimes this would result in them turning to apps like WhatsApp Plus which even though they say they would offer the same benefits, they also provide more. Some apps shave good intentions, but according to a Malwarebytes Labs report, WhatsApp Plus is not one of them as it fraudulently gathers user data.

How is WhatsApp Plus dangerous?

It is now time to explain to you why WhatsApp Plus is not safe for you to download. Even though it promises you to do more and better, it does not mean it is also safe for you.

Before explaining this, you should not forget that the Play Store does not feature this app. In other words, you need to install it using APK. The installation and download look just fine, but if you take a look at the internals, it is not all fun and games anymore.

After being installed, The WhatsApp Plus will show a golden WhatsApp logo. After that, it will ask for some permission, and if you give it to the app, you will be redirected to update a new version. After you get the latest version, you will be sent to a website which is written in Arabic,

The goal of this app is to gather all your personal details. Besides that, it can also collect information from the media based on what you receive and send.

Make sure you uninstall this app immediately and spread the word.
