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.

Microsoft halts Xbox One production

Microsoft wants to focus its resources on the latest generation consoles instead of producing the older Xbox One models. The company has announced it will focus on making more of the still-scant Xbox Series X/S models. Microsoft already stopped producing the Xbox One X and Xbox One S All-Digital Edition in 2020. Now, the manufacturer won't make any other variant of the Xbox One series. Any of the Xbox One models you see in the market are existing stock.

Sony is taking a different approach to Microsoft, opting to continue producing PlayStation 4 units this year to fill the lack of the PS5 stock. The Xbox Series X/S and PS5 still quickly sell out when new stock is announced, so we can't say if these strategies will pay off.

Twitter offers option to record, replay Spaces to all users

After launching for a small group of users last year, the ability to record a Twitter Spaces session is now available to iOS and Android users. Twitter Spaces hosts on mobile will now see the Record Space button in the app. This update allows Twitter users to listen to these recordings after the live session. You can't record on the website version yet, though.

The recordings will stay up for 30 days after they've been published. After that, these recorded Spaces will be deleted. Hosts also get the option to delete these recordings anytime before the 30 days are up.

HP unveiled new business laptops built for hybrid work. One of those is the new HP Elitebook 805 series. These machines run on AMD's Ryzen Pro 6000 processor and have a taller-than-standard 16:10 aspect ratio, making it easier to scan through documents and spreadsheets.

There are three variations for the Elitebook 805 G9 laptops: the 835, 845, and 865. The middle number refers to the screen sizes of each model. The 835 has a 13.3-inch display, the 845 has a 14-inch screen, and the 865 gets a 16-inch display. Unfortunately, the highest spec is a 1,920 x 1,200 resolution, without any mentions of touch support for now.
