As a big soundtrack fan, I love any occasion in which musicians perform them live in concert. So, I'm excited that Sony has created PlayStation The Concert, a world tour featuring the scores from titles like The Last of Us, God of War, Ghost of Tsushima and Horizon. Previous video game concerts have included The Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses, which ran from 2012 to 2017. The announcement coincides with the 30th anniversary of PlayStation, with the production meant to reflect "30 years of making games that have not only captivated players but are celebrated for their breathtaking and immersive soundtracks too," Sid Shuman, senior director of Sony Interactive Entertainment Content Communications, stated in the release. The tour will start on April 15, 2025 in Dublin before traveling to cities around Europe like Paris, Oslo, London and Budapest. There should also be stops in the US and other areas of the world, with Sony planning to take the concert to more than 200 locations. While the cities outside of Europe should be announced "soon," starting at 10AM ET tomorrow, October 16, you can use the early access code PLAYCONCERT24 to get tickets for the available dates.

Today, Instagram announced that it will let users set up profile cards, a new way to help standard users and creators alike to make new friends on Instagram. Profile cards will have two sides and may include objects like your profile pictures, links to your sites, music or a QR code for others to scan. The card background can also be an image you like. Meta These profile cards are designed to help users share profiles without typing out their usernames. Of course, they can be a medium of creativity, too, as a unique card can attract the attention of people with similar interests. Creators can also share them with brands or other creators, offering to collaborate. This change follows the update released in late August, allowing users to add songs to their profiles. Best of all, users all around the globe can start making profile cards right now.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/apps/instagram-is-introducing-profile-cards-to-help-users-find-new-friends-150051049.html?src=rss

Sonos must feel its companion app is in good enough shape, because today the company is launching two new products just a couple of months after it delayed them to fix its software. On Tuesday, Sonos announced the Arc Ultra and Sub 4. The former replaces the $899 Arc as the companys new flagship home theater product. Its the first Sonos soundbar to include its new Sound Motion technology. The company says the tech allowed it to drastically reduce the size of the Arc Ultras transducer without sacrificing bass output. In fact, Arc Ultra can produce up to twice as much bass as its predecessor, according to Sonos. In all, the soundbar features 14 drivers, including a set of tweeters on both ends of the device, allowing it to deliver 9.1.4 spatial audio. Other notable features include a Speech Enhancement tool Sonos says will allow users to decide how clear they want dialogue to sound. On the connectivity front, the soundbar includes an HDMI eARC port, as well as Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.3 support. AirPlay 2 connectivity is also included, as is support for optical audio though the latter requires an adapter. For the first time, Sonos will also make its handy Trueplay tunning feature available to Android users. The Arc Ultra will cost an eye-watering $999 when it arrives on October 29. For now, Sonos will continue to sell the Arc for $899. As for the Sub 4, Sonos calls it its most advanced subwoofer to date. The Sub4 features more processing power and additional RAM, as well as a new Wi-Fi radio to offer stronger connectivity. At the same time, Sonos made the device more efficient, with the company claiming an almost 50 percent reduction in idle power consumption. Like the Arc Ultra, the Sub 4 will go on sale on October 29. It will cost a slightly more palatable $799. With today's announcement, Sonos says a new software update is also on the way. The company claims the release will improve performance relative to its previous app. Expect refinements to system identification, speaker grouping and setup. For current users, the update will bring back 90% of the features the new app has been missing since it replaced the company's old software. "Weve worked tirelessly to resolve the most critical app issues and most requested legacy features. We have reached a level of quality that gives us the confidence to launch our extraordinary new products," said Sonos CEO Patrick Spence. "As we laid out in our commitments we will continue to improve the software regularly, and are determined to make the Sonos experience better than it's ever been."This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/home/home-theater/sonos-999-arc-ultra-is-a-bass-powerhouse-in-a-relatively-small-package-141412411.html?src=rss
