GeForce NOW after its launch has faced many hiccups including the loss of four major game publishers, compatibility and other stuff. To compensate with, NVIDIA announced months back that it would be adding games every thursday to ultimately expand its game library for the cloud-gaming services.
After that it did add a lot of games like Half-Life 2, Peaky Blinders, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Just Cause 4 and a lot of Ubisoft games and other free games from various stores including Steam and Epic Games. GeForce NOW is doing a great job in balancing between adding to its own game library as well as updating the free games from other stores.
To that, as we know, Epic Games Store‘s major free giveaway this week is obviously the Hitman which now supports GeForce NOW as well along with Shadowrun compendium. These two games have to be redeemed from August 27th to September 3rd, so that you can play both of them non stop throughout your life, also NVIDIA has recently brought support for GeForce NOW on Chromebooks and planning to bring wide-range support for Android TVs as well.
Not only these two games, but NVIDIA has also added Surgeon Simulator 2 (a premiere release on Epic), Control (the Ultimate Edition that gives you the access to play other expansions), and Blasphemous. As Ubisoft has partnered with GeForce NOW, Uplay’s Assassin’s Creed Freedom Cry and Rayman Origins will also be playable for free on NVIDIA’s cloud-gaming platform.
All the Barcelona fans have been shell shocked by the news of Messi requesting to leave the club. He wants to terminate his contract and leave the Blaugranas forever.
The Argentine striker, who promised to never leave the club has taken an irreversible decision to leave Barcelona, the club where he has spent almost 20 years of his life. But not many clubs can afford Lionel Messi astronomical wages. There are very few European clubs who can afford Messi and one among them is Premier League side Manchester City.
Messi’s father has taken this even further, as MD points out, both TyC from Argentina and RAC1 from Barcelona did agree yesterday that Jorge Messi is already in contact with the City Group leaders.
Not only that, but both the father of Messi and Ferran Soriano could also be travelling to Barcelona next week to accelerate the negotiations. They even want to sit down to talk with Barca and resolve the issue of the ‘free transfer’ clause.
Now a recent report has come out that claims Messi has already agreed on terms with Manchester City – more likely figures surrounding his contract and any other added bonuses he would receive upon arrival.
#ManCity and Lionel Messi already had an agreement 'days ago'. The club knows what the player wants and they have 'everything ready'.
Now the only factor remaining is whether Barcelona would accept Messi’s request to terminate his contract then Manchester City is ready to sign him immediately. Or if Barcelona wants a deal, then City will have to make some calculations before shelling out excess of €200m for one of the best players of this generation.

The Realme X7 Pro Player Edition is the first phone in the world to feature Snapdragon 860 SoC. As we are already aware of that news that this company is working on a new X7 series of handsets for an early September launch. Right now, there are two devices in the Realme X7 series. They are the Realme X7 and the Realme X7 Pro.
These two phones are expected to be in the level of Realme flagship models. Because, both the phones have a flagship-level processor, great display, and decent camera setup. but the processors will be different in the X7 and the X7 Pro. The Realme X7 was spotted on Geekbench sporting the MediaTek Dimensity 720, while the Realme X7 Pro also made an appearance with the MediaTek Dimensit 1000+ SoC. This is not the end of the story of the Realme X7 series. According to some leaks and posters, the Realme X7 series may introduce the third phone of the series which will be the REalme X7 Pro Player Edition. Now, this is something great, because that particular phone will be the first phone in the world to use the brand new Qualcomm Snapdragon 860 processor.
There are some other specifications, which we can expect from some leaked posters. The Realme X7 Pro Player Edition will use a 4,500mAH battery. Some previous leaks have already revealed that this phone will feature a 120Hz AMOLED panel with an in-display fingerprint sensor. The rear camera setup is almost the same as the other phones of the Realme X7 series. It will have a 64-megapixel quad-camera setup on the backside of the phone and punch-hole front camera setup. The est of the specifications has not revealed yet by the officials. Like the previous two, this phone is also expected to be supported by 5G connectivity.
As it will be the very first time for any smartphone to use Snapdragon 860 processor, there are very little things about it that are known to us. If we consider it by its name, which is 860, that means we may place it between the 850 processor (launched in 2019) and the most powerful 865 processor from Snapdragon. There is no official information about the pricing of that phone. But we can expect a high range price for X7 Pro Player Edition for its flagship features. We have to wait for some days to get more and more information about this phone.
After a great success of Poco X2 in the global market, now Poco is about to launch the successor of Poco X2, which is Poco X3. The Poco X2 was launched on February 4. Recently, there are some leaked specifications of the Poco X3 that have shaken the online tipsters. Expected renders and specifications of the phone have surfaced, along with a probable launch date.
The Poco X3 is expected to be launched on September 8. That means, in a couple of days we will get to see this successor of the Poco X2. Though there is no official information about the specs of that device, it may sport a quad-camera setup at the back and a punch-hole display upfront.
One tipster spotted this Poco X3 leak online and now that has been deleted. The leak suggests the same as above, that the Poco X3 may launch on September 8. The renders hint at a hole-punch display upfront. There is a slight chin that can be noticed at the bottom of the display. From the leaked images, it is expected that this phone will have a side-mounted fingerprint scanner and it may come in Blue and Black gradient finishes.
Regarding the camera setup, it is expected that the Poco X3 will have a rear quad camera set up inside a semi-curved rectangular shaped camera module. The primary camera is expected to be 64-megapixel, it can have a 12-megapixel ultrawide angle sensor, and the others are macro and depth sensor. In the case of the front camera, there can be a 20-megapixel selfie shooter sensor.
Regarding some other expected specifications of the Poco X3, this will have a huge 6.67-inch 120Hz AMOLED display with a 240Hz touch display. This phone is expected to be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 732 SoC. The battery is expected to be quite good, which is 5,160mAH with 33W fast charging. So, there should be no issue with battery life.
As Poco X3 is expected to be the successor of the Poco X2, there may be some really good processor and battery up-gradation we can see in the Poco X3. But the Poco X2 had a dual-camera setup in the front which we probably not going to see in the Poco X3. The Poco X3 is expected to have a single camera setup as a selfie shooter. There is also no information about the pricing of that device, but it can have a higher price range in comparison to the Poco X2. We will get more official details about this phone in the run-up to the launch.
