Toronto-born Abęl Makkonen Tesfaye, better known as The Weeknd, gives us a sneak peek (or listen) on Instagram of the new music he’s working on. While there are no lyrics to it, you get to hear The Weeknd’s distinct vocals and instrumentals we can say are distinctly his. The Grammy award-winning singer is said to be working on his third studio album and is rumoured to be working with Daft Punk this time around. There is no official announcements about a new album but we are keeping our fingers crossed for it.

You do see a lot of in-studio photos on his Instagram so we are hoping a new album does drop soon.

‘Halo 5: Forge’ comes to Windows 10 on September 8

Microsoft and 343 Industries have announced the release date for Halo 5: Forge on Windows 10: September 8. This game puts the focus on playing multiplayer matches (no single-player campaign here) mostly on custom maps made on the PC or the Xbox One. And with its release on Windows, it gives you more leeway to use more powerful hardware. The game allows for 4K displays and has an interface that takes advantage of finer-grained mouse and keyboard controls.

Launching alongside Forge is the Anvil’s Legacy Halo 5: Guardians update, which syncs Xbox One owners with this release. It’ll let you play Forge maps made by Windows creators as well as get two new maps (one for Arena mode and one for Warzone), new skins, weapons, and attachments.

Apple rumoured to be launching a curved iPhone next year

If this new report from the Nikkei Asian Review is anything to go by, we would be seeing a trio of iPhones next year. One of the new phones that might make its debut next year will reportedly be a premium version with a curved display similar to what Samsung has done with its Galaxy edge models. According to a source supposedly familiar with plans of Apple: “There will be a 4.7-inch model, another that will be 5.5 inches, and a premium handset that will be either 5.5 inches or larger equipped with a screen bent on two sides.” Samsung is also said to be supplying the new displays to Apple with this supposed curved version to be sporting an OLED screen. The South Korean tech company is currently the only manufacturer that offers these flexible OLED screens so that checks out.

This premium device was supposed to come out this year but was scrapped. According to Nikkei’s source, there will only be a regular 4.7-inch “iPhone 7” and 5.5-inch “iPhone 7 Plus” with a dual lens camera coming next month when the company is set to release new iPhones. 

Sony brings full-capability of the DualShock 4 to the PC and Mac with new accessory

Alongside the announcement of PlayStation Now’s availability on Windows, Sony is introducing a new USB adapter that will bring DualShock4 support to both Windows and OS X. The $29.99 dongle promises to bring “every feature” of the PlayStation 4 gamepad, including full access to “buttons, analog sticks, touch pad, light bar, motion sensors, vibration, and stereo headset jack,” for as long as these features are available on the game you’re playing. The accessory will start shipping next month.

You can already connect the DualShock 4 to the PC via Bluetooth or by using a USB cable but this allows for easier connection and it gives you access to all the capabilities. However, according to The Verge, you can only connect a single controller to the adapter and you’ll just need to use a USB cable to connect the second controller if you want to add another player into the mix.
