Rest assured, all imagery and advice is unique and original. Check out how we test and review games here Contents hide To inject a breath of fresh air into the action, the Call of Duty franchise often introduces new game modes alongside the staples that always prove popular within Black Ops 6 and Warzone. The recent crossover with Netflixs hit show Squid Game saw several limited-time modes added to the battle royale, making a welcome change to the casual and competitive playlists that are always available.With Season 2 in full swing, the current selection of playlists is uninspiring after all Squid Game-themed activities left the battle royale. Despite the backlash from the crossover, fans are already asking Activision to return Squid Game modes.Warzone needs Squid Game back to enhance varietyThe most popular Squid Game-inspired mode in Warzone involved underperforming squads being eliminated early while others attempted to make it past the notorious Red Light, Green Light round. Since its removal, calls for the mode to return have continued to grow.In addition to standing still at random points of the match, teams were also tasked to complete a variety of challenges ranging from dealing damage, firing bullets, and travelling the longest distance. Squads who performed the least of that particular task were eliminated, just like the Squid Game show.Considering the Squid Game crossover is now done and dusted, its going to take plenty of fan demand for Raven Software to consider re-introducing the mode as a permanent addition.Will the Warzone Squid Game LTM return?The next Call of Duty crossover sees the return of The Terminator to multiplayer and battle royale. With a limited-time event scheduled to take place during Season 2, theres a strong possibility Warzone receives some new game modes inspired by the cyborg assassin played by Arnold Schwarzenegger. Must-Listen: Publishing Manor Lords w/ Joe Robinson VideoGamer Podcast Listen Now Warzones playlists are stale at the best of times even with weekly updates attempting to shake up the options. Squid Game managed to embed some much-needed variety which has since disappeared much to the annoyance of fans. Only time will tell if the mode returns as part of a future update.For more CoD intel, take a look at the best controller settings to keep you shooting straight along with the best Saug loadout for close-quarters action.

PS5 P50Ex-Xbox exclusive Forza Horizon 5 given the X-shaped green light to skid onto PlayStation soon, probably in a gold-wrapped Peel P50 with go faster stripesHere's hoping it doesn't spin out because the upgraded engine it's put in its quirky microcar is too powerful for a motor that resembles a mini-fridge.Image credit: Playground Games News by Mark Warren Senior Staff Writer Published on Jan. 31, 2025 The great sheep herding of Xbox titles onto other platforms too conbtinues, and Forza Horizon 5 is the latest big game to get tapped for a release on PS5, letting people who love the colour blue love it too. It's set to drift across soon too, this spring to be exact, but still a bit vague.While we'll have to wait a bit longer to see exactly which Xbox games end up making their way onto the Nintendo Switch 2, its predecessor and the PS5 have been getting pretty regular releases of former green brand exclusives since Microsoft's gaming division decided everything was an Xbox last year.To see this content please enable targeting cookies. "With nearly 900 cars available in the game, over 40 thematic game updates, two expansions, and so much more content, our team is excited to announce that this spring, PlayStation 5 players will be able to explore Mexicos beautiful roads and experience the Horizon Festival for the first time," Playground wrote in the reveal of this being a thing."The PlayStation 5 version of Forza Horizon 5, developed by Panic Button in partnership with Turn 10 Studios and Playground Games, will have the same content as the Xbox and PC releases of the game," it continued, "Previously released Car Packs, as well as the Hot Wheels and Rally Adventure expansions, will also be available for purchase."Cross-play between Xbox, PC and PS5 is set to be up-and-running as soon as PS5 Horizon 5 drops, so you'll be able to skid about with your mates in non-console warry harmony, and have then laugh at the orange rims you've convinced yourself don't look a bit too tacky.In order to make sure folks not on PS5 don't feel left out in getting a new thing, Playground also revealed that it's working on free content update for all platforms called Horizon Realms. What's that about? "Realms will give players the chance to explore a curated collection of some of the communitys favorite previously released Evolving Worlds, alongside some other surprises," the studio explained.Will you be turning the key and starting up Forza Horizon 5 as soon as it drops on PlayStation?

Wei're So BackOur Sleeping Dogs movie and sequel dreams may not be dead, and the Marvel star responsible has said the thing about pork buns to prove he knows the Wei"Everyone's overwhelming love of Sleeping Dogs here has really given us life!"Image credit: Square Enix News by Mark Warren Senior Staff Writer Published on Jan. 31, 2025 Rise from your sleep, fellow slumbering canines enjoyers! Our hopes for a film adaptation of Square Enix's wonderful triad-kicking not quite GTA Sleeping Dogs may still be alive, with Shang-Chi actor Simu Liu now seemingly fighting to do what Donnie Yen unfortunately couldn't, and if he can pull it off, he's also got a sequel on his wishlist.I know, everything looked very bleak after Yen revealed earlier this month that he'd essentially had to give up on the live-action Sleeping Dogs movie he was set to star in, with Hollywood execs apparently not willing to give him the time of day about the project or back it. But we may be back in business.To see this content please enable targeting cookies. Responding to a random Sleeping Dogs enjoyer on Twitter, Liu wrote that he's "working with the rights holders to bring Sleeping Dogs to the big screen". Given he's best known for Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings and also playing a Ken in Greta Gerwig's Barbie, you can definitely see Liu having the range required to be a pretty killer Wei Shen.Though, it seems there's still a long way to go if that's to be the case, with Liu writing in a follow-up tweet: "So few film projects make it from pitch phase to greenlight. Pitching execs who dont understand the game has been tiring. Everyones overwhelming love of Sleeping Dogs here has really given us life!" To see this content please enable targeting cookies.That's seemingly not all the actor's hoping for either, with him having added: "First a movie, then a sequel game for everyone thats always been the dream." Oh, hell yeah. In case you were wondering if Liu's serious, he's also proven his slumbering canines knowledge by tweeting the iconic line you famously hear at least 20 times every time you fire up the game and wander around HK: "A man who never eats pork bun is never a whole man.""If we actually pull this off, my first call will be to Donnie [Yen]," Liu wrote in another post, "Second call would be Will Yun Lee, the original voice of Wei. Third, to DoorDash to find me the nearest restaurant that serves pork bun."In this barrage of lovely words that's enough to make any Sun On Yee enthusiast's heart skip a beat, Liu also wrote that he'd not want to portray Shen in a potential Sleeping Dogs 2, if one were to miraculously follow the film he's trying to make happen. He told one Twitterer that he'd be flattered to be asked, but thinks that should remain Yun Lee's role.Will any of this actually come to fruition? Who knows. Quite possibly not, but at least for now, us sleepy doggos enjoyers have hope again.

It will let you scan for AirTags and play a sound to locate them.Do AirTags have GPS?AirTags don't have GPS. Instead, they use the Find My network of almost two billion iPhones, iPads, Apple Watches, and Macs. AirTag tracking works by sending anonymous Bluetooth signals that can be picked up by any of these devices within 30 feet. Then, these devices send the AirTag's location to iCloud, allowing you to see it in your own Find My app.With so many Apple devices worldwide, Apple's Find My network has become very reliable. Each Apple device is a node that grows the network, so a lost AirTag can transmit an accurate location without GPS if it's near Find My devices.How long does an AirTag battery last?AirTag batteries last over a year.

Google's newer Find My feature also sends alerts when an unknown Bluetooth tracker is found moving with you.Can you stop an Apple AirTag from tracking you?Removing the AirTag's battery is the easiest way to stop it from tracking you.This will disable the AirTag, and its owner won't be able to see any additional tracking information or receive a notification that their device has been disabled. The owner may only know it has been disabled if they try tracking it on the Find My app and see that it's disconnected. The owner can also see the AirTag's last known location.The Find My network connects various iPhones and Apple devices to AirTags to track their location. An AirTag can continue tracking you unless you disable it by removing its battery -- or by permanently staying outside the Find My network, which is difficult with the large number of iPhone users worldwide.Can anyone track your Apple AirTag?No, AirTags are designed with privacy in mind, and anyone trying to track your AirTag without permission will only be alerted if it moves with them for a period of time. So, although someone else won't be able to track your AirTag, they can hear it if it's separated from you and moving, and they can see any contact information you choose to include if they use NFC.AirTags are designed to change their unique Bluetooth identifiers frequently. Plus, the Find My network -- which allows you to track AirTags miles beyond Bluetooth range -- features end-to-end encryption.Are AirTags waterproof?AirTags are water and dust-resistant with an IP67 rating, meaning they can withstand immersion in up to one meter of water for 30 minutes.See also

Show more Factors to consider when choosing an Apple Watch Ultra band We each have our own priorities for using our smartwatch, and the factors that I use to consider as I make a decision on buying a band may be different than yours. However, here are several factors to consider, based on our years of experience testing wearables:Materials: Apple Watch Ultra straps are generally made of silicone/rubber, fabric, leather, or metal so first consider which material you want your band made of. Your material selection will likely also align with your activities since you do not want to wear a leather band if you plan to swim or run with your Apple Watch.Sleep or not to sleep: If you plan to use your Apple Watch Ultra for sleep tracking and wear it to bed each night, then you are going to want to purchase a comfortable band. The Watch Ultra is the largest Apple Watch so finding a band that is light and comfortable is key to wearing such a large watch to sleep. A metal band is likely not the best option for sleeping with your watch.Heart rate monitoring:The Apple Watch Ultra has been proven to have one of the most accurate wrist-mounted optical heart rate monitors available today, so if you use your watch to track your heart rate, then you must find a strap that supports a proper monitor fit. If the band is too loose or raises the watch above your wrist then it's not optimized for heart rate tracking. You can also use an external heart rate monitor with your Apple Watch Ultra, and if you prefer that option, then the snugness of the band is not as important.Price: Apple offers a host of watch bands itself, but in almost all cases the Apple branded straps are more expensive than third party straps. Apple's bands are all of high quality, but you can save lots of money by looking at other makers for your watch band.Color and style: I don't know many people who have a single watch band that they always wear and with the easy removal design you may want to consider multiple bands for your Watch Ultra. It's great to have a band for working out and sleeping with another for going out on the town or dressing up for special occasions. Show more How we test Apple Watch Ultra straps At ZDNET, we prioritize hands-on testing of Apple Watches and their straps, wearing them over the course of days or weeks during our daily lives. That means I and others on our staff have worn these bands while working, exercising, sleeping, and doing all other daily activities. Here are some of the key elements we evaluate with the watch bands:Comfort: I wear my smartwatches for more than 18 hours a day and often for 24 hours a day so the first thing I test is the fit, finish, and comfort of the watch strap. One major reason that I picked Apple's own Trail Loop is the extremely comfortable design and light weight that makes wearing it a sheer joy.Durability: Given that I wear my Apple Watch Ultra 2 to track all of my activities, it has to be able to withstand my excessive sweat and water from the rain and pool. I need the watch strap to last for at least a year or two under these conditions and thanks to Apple's continued lug design I actually can wear bands for years to test out the durability.Security: A watch band has to be trusted to keep the $800 Apple Watch Ultra 2 on my wrist in all situations. I had a Garmin watch fly off my wrist and disappear down the river while fly fishing last year after I slipped on a rock and need a band to be more reliable than that. The clasp mechanism has to be able to handle body weight workout flexure and unexpected impacts that may happen in some situations.Ability to change out: Apple's slide in system is brilliant and allows a user to quickly and easily change watch straps. However, I purchased some inexpensive bands on Amazon in the past and they did not slide in and out of the lug system very well. Thus, I test the ability of the band to align properly and by replaced seamlessly. Show more FAQs on Apple Watch bands Is buying the Apple Watch Ultra worth it? Yes, it is. I put the watch through the Tough Mudder 15K, which has over 30 obstacles on land and in water, and the watch held up well. The display didn't even have a scratch on it. The Apple Watch Ultra is worth it if you know you're going to put it through taxing environments, like grueling outdoor workouts or 15Ks, and you want to use it like a regular smartwatch. If you want both of those things, this is the watch for you.There are downsides to the watch though. For example, the Apple Watch Ultra doesn't allow you to see your data on a desktop or the web. Even though you can export the data into another app, that's an additional step that isn't required for other GPS sports watches from companies like Garmin and Polar. The Apple Watch Ultra also loses battery more quickly than other GPS sports watches, like the Coros Vertix 2. For example, when I went through the Tough Mudder 15K, my Coros Vertix 2 lost 5% of its battery over 2 hours and 40 minutes, while the Watch Ultra lost 24% of its battery in the same time period. Show more Which strap is best for Apple Watch Ultra? The best strap that we recommend for the Apple Watch Ultra is Apple's own Trail Loop for its durability, comfort, and versatility. Since the band is waterproof, you can exercise with it outdoors or sweat up a storm in it and not have to worry about water damage. It's casual enough to wear around the house or for exercise but is neutral enough to wear for dressier events. Show more Should you get the Apple Watch Ultra or Apple Watch Ultra 2? There are a few differences between the Apple Watch Ultra and the Apple Watch Ultra 2. Namely, there's a much brighter screen, a newer processor, greater storage, and recycled titanium with the Apple Watch Ultra 2. The size, battery life, and sensors are the exact same. Their prices are also the same. Show more Can you put any band on an Apple Watch Ultra? It's a good idea to check the manufacturer's specifications when it comes to this question. For Apple loops, bands for 44mm, 45mm, and 49mm cases are generally compatible with one another. Other manufacturers may have different parameters when it comes to this. But generally, no, you cannot put any band on the Apple Watch Ultra if you want the band to fit well.

Google is being used to attack Microsoft passwords.SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty ImagesThere are myriad ways to steal passwords. From sophisticated AI-driven attacks against Gmail users, to invisible hacking threats, and fake CAPTCHA tests. What you might not expect, however, is a hacker to deploy Google against Microsoft users in order to access account passwords. But when it comes to cybersecurity, you should always expect the unexpectedheres what you need to know.How Hackers Use Google To Target Microsoft PasswordsSecurity researchers at Malwarebytes seem to have the knack when it comes to uncovering devious hacking attacks that target account passwords using malicious advertising as the stepping stone to credential theft. I recently reported how a perpetual hack attack identified by Jrme Segura, senior director of research at Malwarebytes, saw hackers disguise themselves as fake Google Ads login pages to fool advertisers, who were then phished for their account credentials. Now, it seems a similar attack has been ongoing that targets Microsoft advertiser accounts by way of fake adverts turning up on Google search. These malicious ads, appearing on Google Search, Segura said, are designed to steal the login information of users trying to access Microsofts advertising platform.Its no secret that theres an ongoing business bun-fight between Google and Microsoft when it comes to the advertising ecosystem, and Microsoft purchases ad space from Google in order to earn clicks from those searches. What the Malwarebytes researchers discovered, however, was that sponsored results on Google for searches of Microsoft Ads returned ads containing malicious links that had slipped through Googles strict protections. We have reported these incidents to Google, Segura said, and I have reached out to both Google and Microsoft for a statement.How The Hackers Evade Detections To Ultimately Steal PasswordsSegura recounted how threat actors are using different techniques to evade detection and drop traffic from bots, security scanners and crawlers. Anyone using a VPN is directed to a white page that contains bogus marketing, while genuine users are redirected to a cloaking page that requires an "Are you human?" verification check. Finally, they get redirected to an entry page for a malicious domain impersonating the Microsoft ads platform login. The phishing page gives users a fake error message enticing them to reset their password, Segura warned, as well as attempting to bypass any two-factor authentication protections.Segura said that this could just be the tip of a very concerning iceberg, with accounts other than Google Ads and Microsoft Ads being targeted to steal passwords. These recent malvertising campaigns highlight the ongoing threat of phishing through online advertising, Segura concluded, While tech companies like Google work to combat these issues, users must remain vigilant.MORE FOR YOUMitigating The Latest Attacks On Account PasswordsSegura recommend the following mitigation approaches:Always carefully examine the URL in your browsers address bar before entering any credentials.Use 2FA verification wisely, you still need to pay attention to requests before granting them access.Check your advertising accounts for any suspicious activity such as changes in administrator accounts.If you encounter a suspicious ad, report it for the benefit of other users.When I last reported on these types of attacks that use malvertising as a route to stealing your passwords, Google told me that it has a misrepresentation policy that doesnt allow advertisers to run advertisements that scam users, whether by concealing information about the advertisers business, product or service in question. Google has specialist teams in place to monitor infringements and told me, for background, that they are aware of these malicious ad campaigns and continue to take enforcement measures against them. Both malicious adverts and associated accounts are actively reviewed, and appropriate actions are taken as a consequence.
