If you've used Twitter, you've probably had the social media site suddenly refresh in the middle of a tweet you're reading. Twitter is starting to roll out a fix for these disappearing tweets on the web. You will get an option to choose when Twitter loads new tweets on your timeline. There will be a tweet counter at the top of the interface that you can click.

Twitter is in the process of rolling this feature out, so you might not have access to it right away. And the company plans several other updates to fix problems like these.

Microsoft adds final 76 titles to its backward compatibility program

Microsoft

Microsoft is adding 76 more games to its Xbox backward compatibility program. This batch will be the last one, as Xbox Compatibility Program Lead Peggy Lo explained, it "reached the limit of our ability to bring new games to the catalog from the past due to licensing, legal and technical constraints." The update includes the entire Max Payne series and F.E.A.R. franchise, Star Wars: Jedi Knight II, and Skate 2.

All the titles added will support Auto HDR on the Xbox Series X and Series S consoles. The Xbox Series X and Xbox One X will render the games at four times their native resolution, while the Xbox Series S will do so at three times. And the Xbox One S and Xbox One will do that at double the resolution. Eleven titles will get FPS Boost, which improves framerates up to 60 frames per second, and 26 existing games in the library will also get the feature.

Boba Fett to come to 'Fortnite' on Dec. 24

Epic Games / Disney

While we're getting a Naruto collaboration real soon, another potentially iconic Fortnite crossover is coming on Christmas Eve. Star Wars' Boba Fett will be coming to the game on December 24, the weekend before The Book of Boba Fett debuts on Disney+ on December 29. Epic Games will be adding the bounty hunter to the game at 7 PM ET. And the teaser art for this crossover shows Fett's partner Fennec Shand, so we're assuming she'll make an appearance, too.

Epic hasn't shared what's coming then, but we can assume we're getting skins of both characters and more items. We'll make sure to update when we hear more.
