Heres a collaboration I wasnt expecting. The hit gaming franchise Call of Duty and the hit Netflix show Squid Game are teaming up for some kind of game mode to commemorate the latters second season. We dont exactly know what this partnership will entail, but it looks like a game mode for both Black Ops 6 and Warzone. Theres a trailer but its devoid of any real details. We do know that we dont have long to wait. The description underneath the trailer notes that Squid Game comes to Call of Duty this January. This makes sense, given that season two of the Netflix show drops on December 26. Maybe players will enter the titular Squid Game with a full arsenal of modern weaponry. Or maybe well actually play as the psychotic guards, gunning down desperate contestants with reckless abandon. Late stage capitalism, baby! In any event, well find out next month. This is just the latest promotion for the Netflix sensation. Theres a multiplayer smartphone game launching in a couple of weeks and a bizarre LARPing experience that costs $40. Theres even an actual reality show based on its fictional counterpart. Nobody actually dies on that one, but there were some on-set injuries and other ridiculous issues.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/gaming/call-of-duty-is-getting-some-kind-of-game-mode-inspired-by-squid-game-175829671.html?src=rss

Tesla is finally adding SiriusXM integration to its best-selling models. The long-requested feature is coming to the Model 3, Model Y and Cybertruck (the three most popular EVs in the US) as part of the 2024 Tesla Holiday Update. SiriusXM was already available in the Model S and Model X. However, older versions of those vehicles require a $500 Radio Upgrade hardware installation (including a compatible tuner and antennae) when owners have them retrofitted to the newer infotainment system. Model 3, Model Y and Cybertruck owners can try SiriusXM for a month without entering credit card info. If you subscribe before March 31, 2025, youll receive an introductory offer of $10 monthly for your first two years. After receiving the Tesla Holiday Update, owners will see SiriusXM in the media sources menu. Youll need Tesla Premium Connectivity ($10 monthly or $100 annually) or an active Wi-Fi connection for access.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/transportation/evs/tesla-model-3-model-y-and-cybertruck-owners-finally-get-siriusxm-access-171435762.html?src=rss

Come later this month, GOG will stop selling the first two entries in Blizzards seminal Warcraft real-time strategy game series. On December 13, the marketplace will delist Warcraft: Orcs & Humans and Warcraft II: Battle.net Edition, which packages together the original game, Tides of Darkness, and its Beyond the Dark Portal expansion. In a blog post published Monday, the CD Projekt-owned storefront said it was removing the games at the publishers request. If you want to grab them before they leave GOG, CD Projekt is offering a modest discount on its Warcraft I & II bundle until December 13. If you pay for the game using US dollars, you can save $2 off the package. Similar discounts are available for customers paying in Euros, Pound sterling and Polish złoty. To take advantage of the discount, use the code MakeWarcraftLiveForever at checkout. Blizzard did not immediately respond to Engadgets comment request, asking the studio to explain the reason for its request. In 2019, Blizzard worked with GOG to bring Warcraft and Warcraft II to the storefront. Prior to that, Warcraft: Orcs & Humans had effectively become abandonware, which made the game difficult to obtain and get running on modern operating systems. If I had to guess, the fact Blizzard now offers remasters of both Warcraft and Warcraft II likely played a major role in the decision. As a fan of these games, I wish Blizzard would allow GOG to continue selling them. I wrote about the remasters last month, but, in short, I would argue the GOG versions do a better job of preserving Warcraft and Warcraft II as they were. If theres a silver lining to the situation, its that GOG has pledged to continue supporting both games through its recently announced Preservation Program. Once a game joins the Program, we pledge to maintain its compatibility even if it gets delisted from the store, GOG said. This means that owners of those titles can still expect a seamless experience and tech support for those titles. This also considers potential changes in Windows OS that may impact games' playability. Well update this article if we hear back from Blizzard.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/gaming/warcraft-and-warcraft-ii-are-leaving-gog-on-december-13-165855359.html?src=rss
