Call of Duty: Mobile has been downloaded over one billion times around the world since it became available, Activision has announced along with the rest of the game's fifth anniversary offerings. The game was released back in 2019 for Android and iOS and reached 270 million downloads within its first year of availability. Despite the game's success, Microsoft told the UK's Competition and Markets Authority in a filing for its Activision Blizzard acquisition that "Call of Duty: Mobile is expected to be phased out over time" with the launch of Warzone Mobile. In response to fans' concerns after that information came out, Activision said that it plans to continue supporting the game and that it has a "robust roadmap" of new content and updates "for the long haul." It didn't directly address Microsoft's revelation, however, and it didn't say when the game will be phased out. Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile rolled out on March 21st. The Season 10 5th Anniversary update for CoD: Mobile is going out today, November 6, at 5PM Pacific time/8PM Eastern time. It will include a new Battle Royale map for a location called Krai, which is described as a "dense urban landscape at the base of the Ural Mountain." Each character gets one respawn in the map, and they drop a scannable dog tag if they're eliminated a second time. Their squad will need to reach it and scan it before they can get back in. Players will also be able to buy new passes to get anniversary-related content, such as new operator skins, weapon blueprints and calling cards.

DJI's has introduced a new affordable headset for FPV drones designed to address complaints about its previous model. The $229 Goggles N3 offers improved comfort over the Goggles 3 and allows users to wear their eyeglasses, all at less than half the price albeit with a downgrade to the OLED displays and a limited selection of drones. The Goggles 3 could cause discomfort due to insufficient padding and excessive weight that's poorly distributed. The Goggles N3 largely eliminates this problem with a design that's larger yet somehow lighter, with extra cushioning and excellent balance. At the same time, it can accommodate even fairly large eyeglasses, so you no longer need to make diopter adjustments or order special lenses for conditions like astigmatism. Samuel Dejours for Engadget It comes with a 1080p display and wider field of view than the Goggles 3, at 54 instead of 44 degrees. Image quality isn't technically as good, though, as the display is downgraded to a single LCD instead of dual Micro-OLED screens as before. The Goggles N3 use DJI's O4 transmission system with a bitrate up to 60 Mbps. The battery is integrated into the headphone as before and can run it for up to 2.7 hours, down a bit from 3 hours on the Goggles 3. It only offers live feed sharing to a smartphone over USB-C, with Wi-Fi sharing not available. You can use it with just two drones now, the DJI Neo and Avata 2, where the previous model also worked with the Air 3 and Mini 4 Pro. As for controllers, it supports DJI's RC Motion 3 or FPV Remote Controller 3. As with the Goggles 3, it allows head tracking for camera control and comes with a new feature, an augmented reality cursor that can be used when paired with the RC Motion 3. You can also do one-tap power loops, flips, rolls and other tricks. Finally, it offers a new one-tap defogging feature that activates a fan to instantly clear any mist. DJI I tried the Goggles N3 with both the Avata 2 and Neo, and was impressed. Comfort was far better than before, with none of the forehead pinching that bordered on painful after less than an hour of use. Rather, it felt like it was barely there and remained comfy even after an hour or so of use. Better still, I could remove the headset when I needed to see the environment without having to fumble for my eyeglasses. Image quality was sharp and bright, and didn't feel like a huge downgrade from the Goggles 3. The Goggles N3 headset is now on pre-order for $229, a huge discount over the Goggles 3 without a lot of downside that I can see. You can also order it (in Europe only for now at 529 or 449) as part of the DJI Neo Motion Fly More Combo, which includes the Neo drone, Gogles N3, RC Remote 3, three batteries and a charging hub. Shipping will start later this month, with hopefully no delays stateside.

You won't have to worry about repurchasing your Nintendo favorites when the Switchs successor finally arrives. In its earnings report, Nintendo said its next console will have backwards compatibility and be able to run games made for the Switch. In addition, Switch Online will also be available on the Switch 2. The earnings report takes a philosophical tone in talking about the why.
