Twitter has launched the ability to schedule posts
Twitter users, who have been clamoring for years for improved post management, can rejoice. Some more advanced publishing features, such as post scheduling, have finally arrived on Twitter. Until now, this function was only available through special applications or Twitter interfaces such as Tweetdeck. That won't be necessary, however, as Twitter has tested post scheduling and it seems everything was fine. In the course of today, this function should be made available to the entire user base of this social network. It is now possible to schedule Tweets for a specific date and time, and the possibility of saving drafts, which can be returned to later, has also become available. In this case, however, it is necessary to point out that there is no synchronization of concepts between the desktop interface and the mobile application.
A demonstration of PS5 games and the supply of other information are coming
Sony plans to present news regarding the upcoming PlayStation 4 on Thursday, June 5. Many fans have been looking forward to finally getting to know what Sony's new console will look like. However, it seems that Sony does not want to publish this specific information yet, so instead of the design of the new console, the audience will get a presentation of the upcoming titles. In total, we should expect more than an hour of recording from just a few selected games. The video conference will take place at 10 pm our time via Twitch and YouTube. According to official information, both large and well-established as well as small and independent game studios will present their games. We will most likely also see the first introduction of some PS5 exclusives that will drive sales in the first few months. Another interesting piece of news regarding the PS5 is that Sony will start requiring developers to make all new PS4 games automatically compatible with the PS5 console as well. This change should affect all titles that will be certified from June 13. Sony probably wants to catch up with Microsoft and its very wide library of games, because the upcoming Xbox should be backward compatible with all Xbox titles from the current and previous generations.
The Witcher has already sold more than 50 million copies
The Polish company CD Projekt Red has announced that it has succeeded in achieving an admirable goal, as it has exceeded 50 million games sold in the Witcher series. Completing this milestone comes just three years after CD Projekt Red celebrated 25 million copies sold in the series. The middle Witcher games have always sold relatively well, even the first installment, which could not yet benefit from reputation and name recognition. However, it should be noted that the sales of titles with Geralt of Rivia were definitely helped by the series from the Netflix studio, which, although it aroused conflicting reactions among fans, introduced the world of the Witcher to a completely new audience. Currently, the game saga of The Witcher is "on ice" as the developers are concentrating on the finish of the highly anticipated title Cyberpunk 2077. However, there have already been several mentions in the past that the developers could return to the world of The Witcher, the main role of new stories however, they will play completely different characters, such as Princess Cimri.
