CD Projekt RED Hires “Release Manager” for Cyberpunk 2077

CD Projekt RED or CDPR for short is a Polish game developer that is known for creating RPG (role-playing-game) masterpieces with The Witcher series being its crown jewel. The next game from the Polish developer is called Cyberpunk 2077 and its promised to be the most innovative RPG game ever made with an attention to detail that is going to blow everyone away and raise the standards in the gaming industry.

CD Projekt RED Hires “Release Manager”

With that said, it should come as no surprise that industry experts are paying attention to every move that CDPR makes and the latest action from the Polish game developer is listing a recruitment spot for a new “Release Manager”. As we can clearly tell from this job title, CDPR is getting ready to launch Cyberpunk 2077 and it wants to make sure that everything goes right.

Expected Release Date

Even though job listing for Cyberpunk 2077 doesn’t mention any official information about the game’s launch date, we do know that CDPR is planning to release the game in late 2019 or early 2020. One thing that sets CDPR apart from other game developers is the fact that CDPR is not afraid to take its time with the company motto being “a rushed game is never a good game”.

E3 2019

We should mention that CDPR has announced that it will host a panel during this year’s E3 gaming event. Therefore, we believe that CDPR is going to reveal additional gameplay footage from Cyberpunk 2077 and maybe even announce the official launch date of the game. In addition, CDPR is also required to work out deals with Sony and Microsoft in order to launch the game on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, this is where the newly hired Launch Manager comes in.

Disney+ Streaming Service To Launch In November To Compete With Netflix and Amazon Prime

A number of companies such as Netflix and Amazon Prime Video have been walking into the growing streaming service industry over the past years in order to obtain massive audiences. The growth of the streaming industry has many factors backing it, which includes smartphones and the internet lowering its prices and the expansion of streaming apps to different devices. The next company to take advantage of the streaming service industry is Disney with its upcoming Disney+ platform.

Disney CEO Robert Iger shared on the Social Media platform a photo of the upcoming app, Disney+. The photo doesn’t show much about the app but it reveals its interface. The app has various categories, each representing a Disney franchise, like Marvel, Pixar, Star Wars, National Geographic and Disney itself. We can also see from the picture that the app has a ‘recommended for you’ and ‘continue watching’ tab in the interface.

Disney+ will be available on the web, browsers, smartphones, smart TVs, tablets as well as game consoles, same as the other well-known streaming services.

Disney+ to compete with Netflix and Amazon Prime starting with November this year

A deal for a PS4 version of the app has been made with Roku and Sony and it will support a multiplex of user accounts, offline viewing, and 4K HDR, Macrumors recently reported.

Disney+ will posture some severe competition to other streaming services as it will hold a lot of exclusive content, and will also deliver new TV shows ahead of the curve in its service. Numerous TV shows have already been announced, such as “Falcon & Winter Soldier”, and “WandaVision”, both based on Marvel characters. Another TV show based on Monters.inc, one other based on “High School Musical”, a Frozen 2 documentary, a Star Wars series, a live-action adaptation of “Lady and the Tramp”, two other projects starring Marvel characters Loki and Hawkeye, and so much more.

Macrumors added that all Pixar content will be available on Disney+ within the first year of release, also all Pixar’s theatrical shorts and all Star Wars films. The streaming service will be launched on November 12, 2019, having a monthly and annual subscription at the price of $6.99 and $69.99.

Google Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a XL Leak Revealed Their Price Tags in Canada

It is well-known that Google is currently working on two mid-range Pixel devices known under the name of Google Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a XL. According to a reliable source, the Pixel 3a will cost CAD 650 while the larger one, 3a XL, will retail for CAD 800.

The listing was obtained from a retailer backend database, and the source provided accurate information in the past. The two smartphones are listed under the codenames of Sargo and Bonito, and it seems that they will come with 64GB of built-in storage space. In comparison to the prices of the original models, the new line is quite affordable. However, they will have to compete with established brands like OnePlus, which offer lots of bells and whistles at the same price range.

While some doubted that the devices exist in the first place an earlier leak on the Google Store confirmed that they are real, with cases being listed under the accessories category. Clicking on either of the entries led to a 404 error, and they were quickly removed, but dedicated fans managed to snap some screenshots.

Possible specs for Google Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a XL

Another leak provided a few technical details about the pair. Data collected from the Google Play Console (which is used to observe and verify app downloads across different device models) suggests that the Pixel 3a will feature a generous 1080×2220 screen resolution with a pixel density of 440 while the XL version will sport a 1080×2160 panel with a lower 400 DPI.

The spec sheet includes 4GB of RAM, a Qualcomm processor ( most likely an older flagship SoC) NFC and the latest version of the popular Android operating system. The 12.2 single camera is rumored to make an appearance, a trait which should be a significant boon.

At one point a video was circulating the internet, showing what appeared to be a prototype of the Pixel 3a. The video was removed, and the YouTube channel which published the video seems to have disappeared into thin air (probably banished by a copyright takedown).
It is likely that more information will surface in the future.

Download YouTube Videos Legally, Without Third-Party YouTube Video Downloaders

YouTube is where we all head over whenever we want to watch a video. However, a stable internet connection is not always available. You might also have a mobile data plan that can’t keep up with all the high-resolution videos that you watch.

Fortunately for you, there is always another option. Many users have discovered that it is a lot simpler to download videos so that they can be watched offline as well. As an Android user, you should be glad to hear that Google itself provides a solution for you.

YouTube Premium

YouTube Premium was launched back in October 2015 as YouTube Red, and it describes itself as “a paid membership that gives you an enhanced, uninterrupted experience across YouTube, YouTube Music, and YouTube Gaming.”

You can access it as long as you live in New Zealand, Mexico, Australia, or the United States. You might have heard about this service before since YouTube Red used to be Music Key before. For those who do not know, Music Key was a free streaming service that was released in 2014.

Download YouTube videos to watch offline

YouTube Premium can be considered a premium version of YouTube. Users have to pay a fee, and in exchange for that, they receive numerous exclusive features. First of all, there is YouTube Originals access, which means that you will be able to watch exclusive shows from some of the most popular YouTube channels, including movies and series. More than that, YouTube Premium also gets rid of all types of ads.

Finally, YouTube Premium offers you the option to download YouTube videos directly on your mobile device. All the videos you save will remain available for 30 days only, however. This is the perfect feature for long trips when you won’t have a stable internet connection.

Alternatively, you can use third-party YouTube video downloaders, but that’s not recommendable since Google does not accept these services.

Exit mobile version
