Netflix might soon give you the option to skip opening credits

If you’re prone to binge-watching shows on Netflix and want to save a bit of time, there might be a solution for you soon. It’s been spotted that Netflix is trying out a “skip intro” button which works for the title sequence, even for those that start after a cold open. It’s been first spotted 23 days ago on Reddit and so far only works on the web. It’s been spotted on Netflix originals House of Cards and Iron Fist as well as third-party shows Mad Men and The Office. It doesn’t seem to be available for us yet but it would take time for Netflix to role this out to all users and platforms. But it means your wait for this might not be too long anymore.

‘Eclipse’ makes the leap from PSVR game to Daydream exclusive

It seems Google has managed quite a steal with an indie game. Eclipse, which started out as a Sony PlayStation VR game, seems to have gotten a new life on Google’s Daydream platform. A new trailer from its developer White Elk Studios has the full title of the game and the “Only on Daydream” banner included.

Eclipse: Edge of Light is set on a sentient planet where you crash land on. You’ll come across an artifact that will let you interact with the ancient technology and elements found there so you can gain powers and discover the secrets of said planet. Unfortunately, there isn’t a release date for the game just yet.

Google Play Music now offers options for playback quality of songs

Google updates its Play Music streaming app with new playback quality options over Wi-Fi and for downloaded tracks. You can now choose between low, normal, high, and always high. Before you could only adjust playback quality for streaming when you were using mobile data. It doesn’t say, though, what bitrate these options correspond to. But if you seek the highest quality the app offers, then you at least have the choice to do so now. The update comes to both iOS and Android versions of the app.
