If you were disappointed about the delay of Valve's Switch-like console, then you'll be happy to hear an update about its release. Valve announced that it "looks like" Steam Deck shipments will begin by the end of February. As The Verge reminded us, we are still in the middle of a pandemic, so things and schedules can change. But the publication claims the preorder windows seem to be holding steady.

Netflix in North America will be a bit more expensive, at least for those who want HD and 4K viewing on the service. In Canada, the standard plan now costs $16.49, about $1.50 more than its previous cost. Meanwhile, the premium tier jumps from around $19 to $20.99.

The standard plan offers viewers HD viewing of Netflix content and two screens watching at once, while the premium plan offers 4K streaming and four simultaneous screens. What hasn't changed is the basic $9.99 plan, which doesn't support HD viewing and one user at a time. The streaming service says it'll inform current members via email 30 days before the price hike affects them (unless they change plans), while new members will be affected by this change from the get-go.

Fans of the anime series Attack on Titan can carry that love to Call of Duty: Vanguard and Warzone Pacific. The titles are getting a new "Attack on Titan — Levi Edition" bundle on January 20. The tracer pack will come with 10 items, including new weapon blueprints, emblem customization options, and themed skin. 

The Daniel Yatsu operator can be dressed in a Survey Corps uniform, similar to the characters in the anime (which is now in its final season). It's designed specifically after the gear worn by Captain Levi Ackerman (thus the name of the bundle). While that costume only works with Daniel Yatsu, the rest of the Attack on Titan cosmetics can be used by any operator.
