Apple Arcade goes live for macOS Catalina beta users

Apple Arcade
Apple has flicked the switch to enable Apple Arcade on the macOS Catalina beta, suggesting a full, public launch of Catalina is just around the corner. If you're running the beta on your Mac, you can get gaming now.
The service costs $4.99 / AU$7.99 / AED 19.99 / £4.99 a month, which covers up to six family members, and you can try it for a month free of charge to see if you like it first.
Apple Arcade has already gone live on iPhones, iPads and Apple TVs, with the roll out of the latest software updates, so if you're invested in the Apple ecosystem you may already be playing some of the exclusive games on offer.
Not all the Apple Arcade games are available on all devices though – MacRumors reports that around two dozen titles are available on macOS, including Sayonara Wild Hearts, Operator 41, Big Time Sports and Card of Darkness.

Catalina coming very soon

Apple Arcade can be found inside the Mac App Store – if you're still on macOS Mojave, then you'll just see a message saying "Welcome to Apple Arcade on Mac!" together with a button to check for updates.
Apple has promised that macOS 10.15 Catalina will be pushed out to users at some point during October, and that point would now appear to be imminent, with Apple Arcade and plenty of other pieces in place.
A couple of days ago Apple released the Gold Master (GM) version of the software to developers – basically the version of the operating system that puts a period at the end of the beta testing stage.
The macOS Catalina roll out could happen any day now, and when it does, you'll be able to dive straight into Apple Arcade on your Mac.

EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT THE PIXEL 4, THE MOST-LEAKED PHONE EVER

Image
Google’s  Pixel 3 might have been the  most-leaked phone in history . Long before its unveiling, we knew practically everything about it from unboxing videos, photo comparisons, even a full review of the device. Surely, for the Pixel 4, Google would clamp down on leaks to leave some surprises for its debut on  October 15th , right? Let’s just say, if that was the plan, it didn’t exactly work out. We’ve now seen the Pixel 4 XL from every angle and in three different colors. At least seven different sources have touched this phone, many of them confirming the same specs. We not only know which cameras it’ll have, but also what they may be capable of, including air gestures (go figure). That doesn’t even count information Google has already shared  on purpose. So if you want to know almost everything about the Pixel 4 nearly a month before it’s announced, buckle up. We’ve sifted through all of the rumors and information we can find to compile everything we know —...

Besides SamMobile, the confirmation also comes from  some Redditors  who got the update in Germany just a few hours back. The same Reddit users also mention that Google Pay remains broken even after installing this final Android 10 firmware, although it wasn’t immediately clear how widespread t...
