Sony cuts as much as $20 off PlayStation Now, introduces new games to service

Sony's game streaming service PlayStation Now gets a price cut across the different subscription options. It's now $12.99 per month instead of $19.99; $34.99 per quarter instead of $44.99; and $79.99 per year instead of $99.99. The company wants to offer "a more compelling price that is comparable to other entertainment streaming services on the market." Sony boasts that with over 800 games, it provides the most extensive library of any console game subscription service.

The company is also offering new games that are available starting today, October 1, 2019, until January 2, 2020. These include God of War, Grand Theft Auto V, inFAMOUS Second Son, and Uncharted 4: A Thief's End. Sony had an additional note for GTAV. It said, "Grand Theft Auto V is available to download and stream via PS Now at launch; Grand Theft Auto Online and Rockstar Games Social Club will be available for users that download GTAV at launch. Online features, including Grand Theft Auto Online and Rockstar Games Social Club, are currently only available in the downloaded version."

'Call of Duty: Mobile' is now live for both Android and iOS

While some users have spotted the game over the past few weeks, today marks the official day that Call of Duty: Mobile is available on both Android and iOS in Canada.

Developed by Activision and Tencent's Timi division, the game offers a full-fledged Call of Duty multiplayer experience on smartphones. It's mostly free-to-play, but there are in-app purchases that can go as high as $139.99. There is even a Fortnite-inspired "battle pass" available for the game.

TiVo Edge all-in-one media device comes to Canada

If you're thinking of cutting the cord but somehow still want access to live TV, TiVo just launched the TiVo Edge in the country. It's an all-in-one media device that works with an HD antenna to give you access to live TV, DVR, and streaming content from apps like Netflix and Amazon Prime Video with up to 4K UHD resolution. It is available for $299.99 with a service plan of $8.99 monthly or $89.99 annually.

The TiVo Edge comes with features like SkipMode, which lets you skip to the end of a commercial break and resume watching instantly with a touch of a button; and OnePass, which helps you track down every episode and season of your favourite shows. It can automatically record current and upcoming episodes for you and add these to the shows' playlist. You can use voice control with the device to shuffle between live TV, TiVo EDGE, and streaming apps. The device comes with two tuners and a 500GB drive for up to 75 HD recording hours.

Google Play Store gets one-tap option to leave beta programs and more

The Google Play Store is simplifying how you can opt-out of beta programs, pre-registrations for apps and games, as well as clear out your Wishlist. There is a new "Google Play preferences" section in the Play Store's settings that will allow you to do what we mentioned above with just a tap of your finger. In this part, you'll discover one-tap options for clearing your Wishlist, leaving all beta programs, unregistering from upcoming events, and removing all app or game pre-registrations. However, the feature is not showing up to all users at this time.

Before this option showed up, you could manage features like these on a per-app basis. The Wishlist is accessible in the side menu, while the beta programs are in the My Apps > Beta section. But now you can sort of Thanos snap these out of your life. Aside from making things simpler, this move could also help with troubleshooting. Beta apps can include more software bugs, so this might be a clean and easier way to get those out of your phone.
