'Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered' gets verified for Steam Deck

Source: Sony

Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered is coming to the PC next week. Alongside that, the game gets verified for Steam Deck. Developer Insomniac Games announced this development on its Twitter account. When a game gets verified for Steam Deck, it should play great on the handheld gaming machine without significant tweaks.

Insomniac has also confirmed Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales will be coming to the PC sometime this fall. We're assuming the title could be verified then, too.

Apple iPadOS might launch later due to issues with Stage Manager

Source: Apple

While we're expecting new Apple products in October, iPadOS might roll out a bit later. Bloomberg reports that Apple might delay the release by a month. It will go against Apple's typical style of releasing a new version of its operating system alongside the latest products.

The delay is supposedly due to the Stage Manager feature, which expands the multitasking capabilities of the iPad. It will let you group several windows into "piles" and keeps all the windows open in a tab on the left. It's already available in beta versions of iPadOS and macOS, but the iPadOS version is too buggy and confusing that Apple needs to rework it.

Facebook discontinues Live Shopping feature

Facebook is discontinuing its Live Shopping feature soon. This feature allowed shoppers to buy directly from live streams on the social network. Facebook Live Shopping will be completely shut down as of October 1, 2022. From that date, Live Shopping events on the app will go away. Facebook Live will still be around, but you won't be able to create and sell products during the live broadcast. 

According to the company, consumer behaviour is changing, with users focusing on short format videos. That's why it'll buckle down on Instagram Reels, which gets a similar option of tagging products in the video. Similarly, TikTok has abandoned plans to bring its Live Shopping experience to other regions. While it's lucrative in its home market in China, it hasn't been quite as popular when tested in the UK.
