PlayStation Plus subscribers now get 100GB of cloud storage space

It's a big month for PlayStation Plus subscribers, as Sony's PS Plus service is going through some big changes from February 2019 onwards.

We already knew that, after February 2019, PlayStation Plus subscribers would no longer be getting free PS4 and PS Vita games as part of their monthly subscription packages. And Sony has now announced the final games coming to those consoles as part of the deal. Seeing the PS3 element of PS Plus off in style, you'll be able to download Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots to your PlayStation 3 this month, along with Divekick. Gunhouse and Rogue Aces will both also hit PS Vita and PS4.

So, with the older consoles being removed from the service, what's Sony offering to balance out the difference? 100GB of cloud storage for game saves. It's a considerable jump from the 10GB currently offered.

It's a useful tool, but unless you've got multiple consoles dotted around your home, are expecting your PS4 to die, or load up saves on a friend's console regularly, we can't imagine it exciting too many players. 

February 2019 PS4 games on PS Plus

Still, if you are a PS4 owner, when taking into account the above plus the PS4 games being delivered this month, it's a bumper offering.

As well as all the items listed previously, you'll also be getting stealth murder simulator Hitman: The Complete First Season, and medieval hack-and-slash-athon For Honor, where knights, vikings and ninjas go toe-to-toe in multiplayer melee combat.

The PS4 games will be available until 5th March, while the PS3 and Vita titles get extra send off time until March 8.

The removal of games will undoubtedly anger some players – it'll be interesting to see if Sony does anything else to appease them.

The future of Magic Leap's promising AR efforts dim after layoffs

The Magic Leap Two is now further away than ever, unfortunately. Today in a blog post the augmented reality pioneer announced major layoffs and has decided to cut up to half of its workforce, according to some reports. The original Magic Leap One was supposed to be one of the first mainstream augmented reality headsets when it launched in 2018, but a high price point and lack of interest from developers left the headset high and dry after launch. According to the blog post, Magic Leap says it will be focusing its efforts on enterprise solutions (a statement HTC has made recently as well) and shift its focus away from consumer technology… at least for the time being.  The company has been open about creating a second headset that would offer improved specs for some time, but how that work will now have to go forward without half of the team , according to some estimates, remains to be seen. Is the window closing on augmented reality?  Although it’s just one company, Magic...

Airship acquires SMS commerce company ReplyBuy

Airship is announcing that it has acquired mobile commerce startup ReplyBuy . The startup (which was a finalist at TechCrunch’s 1st and Future competition in 2016) works with customers like entertainment venues and professional and college sports teams to send messages and sell tickets to fans via SMS.

He also suggested that both the COVID-19 pandem...
