Cyberpunk 2077 PS4 and Xbox One Version Was ‘Ignored’, CD Projekt Red Admits

Cyberpunk 2077 developer CD Projekt Red “ignored” PS4 and Xbox One versions of the game, and focused more on “PC and next-gen performance rather than current-gen”. CD Projekt Red doesn’t have a special refund policy in place, which is leading to refund requests being rejected for some PS4 owners.

PUBG Mobile India launch could be delayed until March 2021: Report

The PUBG Mobile India launch has run into yet another roadblock as a new report now indicates that the game won’t be making a comeback for the next few months. This comes after the NCPCR (National Commission for Protection of Child Rights) opposed the launch of the popular battle royale game in India. PUBG Mobile was banned by the Indian government along with other 118 other apps over security and privacy concerns on September 2. In November, the developers revealed that they are making a special version of PUBG Mobile for the Indian players.

According to a report by InsideSport that cites a source in the know-how of things, PUBG Mobile India is unlikely to make a comeback before March 2021. “Efforts from PUBG were made in the right earnest, but the situation is such – that there has been no headwind or progress on the matter. We don’t see the game making a comeback in India for the next few months, at least not before March 2021. It’s unfortunate but everyone has to live with it,” the person told InsideSport.

This indicates that the game may not be hitting the Play Store or App Store anytime soon as the officials are yet to receive a nod from the Indian government. An RTI (Right to Information) was also filed with the Department on Electronics and Information Technology on November 30. The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology has responded to this RTI saying “MeitY has not given any permission for launch of PUBG”. The RTI was posted online on Instagram by Gem Esports.

These new developments come weeks after it was reported that PUBG India officials have requested a meeting with the authorities, but it is yet to receive any response from them. Moreover, the National Child Rights Association has also opposed the launch of PUBG Mobile in India as it first wants appropriate legislations to be put in place for such games before allowing PUBG India to relaunch the game in the country.

It is unknown as to how PUBG officials are currently mitigating the situation but there has been no official update from the developers since November 14 which is when it released a teaser featuring three popular PUBG Mobile players-- Aaditya ‘Dynamo’ Sawant, Jonathan Amaral and Chetan ‘Kronten’ Chandgude.

PUBG Mobile India is set to feature customized content including a virtual simulation training ground, clothed characters from the start, green hit effects and restriction settings on game time to inculcate healthy gaming habits in younger players. Here are answers to some common questions about the return of PUBG Mobile in India.

Watch the Xiaomi QLED TV 4K launch live here

If you thought the season for launching products was over, then I say, think again. Xiaomi is gearing up to launch a QLED TV in India. The launch is at 12 noon, and you can watch the live stream below. 

Not much is known about the QLED TV apart from the fact that it has QLED backlighting. In 2020, we saw a bunch of brands jump onto the QLED bandwagon from the likes of Hisense, Toshiba, and even Compaq. How Xiaomi distinguishes its TV from the competition remains to be seen. While rumours circulating the internet suggest that it could be the Mi TV 5 Pro relaunching in India, Xiaomi has said that the QLED TV is made in India. 

Xiaomi QLED TV Specifications and Features

A few features of the upcoming Xiaomi QLED TV have been teased on Flipkart. The TV will support HDR 10+ and Dolby Vision and also come with HDMI eARC which is a feature of HDMI 2.1. Whether the TV brings with it any more HDMI 2.1 features remains to be seen. As for the size, it is suggested that the TV will be a 55-inch one, but it remains to be seen whether the TV will be available in other screen sizes as well. It will be a 4K panel. 

When Xiaomi entered the TV market in India with the launch of the Mi TV 4 back in 2018, it shook the industry by offering a 4K HDR TV with a slim design for a very affordable price. With QLED TVs we’ve seen OnePlus attempt to sell a QLED TV at a flagship price, and it didn’t do well for the company to the point that in 2020, OnePlus launched an affordable TV at the 50K price point with the U1 (review). We also reviewed the TCL 2020 QLED TV, the TCL C715 and you can check out our review here.

Cyberpunk 2077 Costs CD Projekt Founders $1 Billion of Wealth Due to Glitchy Release

The technical glitches plaguing CD Projekt’s Cyberpunk 2077 game have cut more than $1 billion (roughly Rs. 7,300 crores) off the wealth of the company’s founders. Perhaps more seriously, the quality-first image of the studio has been shaken and may not be easy to win back.
