Apple TV and iOS will soon support Xbox One and PS4 controllers

Posted on June 9, 2019June 9, 2019 by Ivy

Apple TV and iOS will be bringing in support for PS4’s Dual Shock console controllers, as well as Xbox One S controllers. This will only include the original controllers for now, not any third party ones. So make sure to get your Xbox One and PSN cards now so you can play all your favorite games with these great controllers on Apple devices.

Will there be any exclusive games?

For now, no one is saying anything about ports or console games coming to Apple. But having the console support along with the Remote Play app, which was released in March, your iPhone and iPad is essentially a portable PS4. You’ll find that the app allows you to have all of the same PS4-related controls. Unfortunately, some games aren’t compatible with the app, so make sure to keep that in mine. However, this

controller support could also increase the use of other gaming apps, such as the recently released Steam Link app for iOS. So as long as your PC and mobile device are connected to the same Wi-Fi network, you can stream your steam games to an iPhone or iPad. And we also have Steam cards available to make all of your Steam purchases as efficiently as possible.

You will have controller support very soon

The new updates are set to arrive with the iOS 13 version, and the new tvOS that will be released around the end of the summer. It’s also been rumored that Apple will also be releasing Apple Arcade, a curated subscription service that will work on iOS, iPadOS, and tvOS. Apparently, there will be around 100 new and exclusive games that will be available on the platform. So it does makes sense for Apple to add controller support, as they don’t currently have their own controller. And adding a third party controller on their OS would pretty much be a bust for most people. But with the support of Xbox One and PS4 controllers on Apple devices, the possibilities could really open up for gamers in many ways.

Microsoft & Sony Teaming up for Gaming

Posted on May 22, 2019 by Ivy

Although Microsoft and Sony are known to compete with their consoles in the gaming world, the reality is that they both have similar interests. And we have an announcement that will make you want to buy some PSN cards and Xbox cards. Apparently, both companies are looking to collaborate in order to create some future cloud solutions. The announcement of Google Stadia seems to imply that Google wants to enter the video game world, and both Microsoft and Sony might be scared by the competition. Still, having a collaboration between these two companies that we always saw as rivals is quite unexpected. We do expect them to clash as they work with one another, but for now it seems that they both have a great goal in sight.

Why is Sony working with Microsoft? Don’t they have their own cloud gaming platform?

Sony has had its PlayStation for a long time, but the platform isn’t too powerful. They don’t have a cloud

infrastructure like Amazon, Microsoft, and Google have. So they had to rely on working with Microsoft to get this project started. It’s definitely not the simplest thing out there, but it does push the boundaries a bit and that’s the thing that really matters, especially in a situation like this. Through this deal, Sony gets to work with Microsoft to boost its cloud system and even leverage the Azure technology. None of the companies have native streaming services right now, and that’s a shame because there are many challenges that come from that. But the game libraries are there, everything is in place aside from good technology that will help with cloud gaming. And while that might not seem easy to do at first, the payoff can be huge as long as they end up doing it right.

Will this be a part of the next generation of consoles?

The next generation of consoles is coming. Based on what they showed, the PS5 is going to load levels a lot faster, so the processing power will be much improved (you can read more about Sony’s PlayStation 5 Specs). And we can expect the new Xbox to be just as good as well. Both new consoles are set to arrive in 2020 according to the latest estimates. It definitely makes a lot of sense for Microsoft and Sony to work together. Microsoft does have Azure and this is a great platform for cloud services that can be adapted to gaming. Will it work well for gaming? That depends, but what we do know is that customers will be able to use it rather soon. We do expect Sony to customize its own service despite using the Azure platform from Microsoft. But it’s nice to see both companies realize that it’s beneficial for them to work together in order to reach greater heights of success.

Gaming Featured Customer of the Week – Donn

Posted on May 9, 2019 by Ivy

For the first week in May, we are featuring Donn from Trinidad & Tobago! We sent him some questions to learn a bit about what he loves most about gaming and how he’s using our PSN Cards.

How old are you, and where are you located?

I’m 29 years old, and I’m from the Caribbean. Trinidad & Tobago to be exact.

Tell us something special or unique about where you live, or why you like it?

Trinidad is a very diverse, multi-cultured mix of races: Indians(indo-trinis), African(afro-trinis), first people(the natives). We also have a few migrants like the Venezuelans, Jamaicans, Asians. With this diversity in culture there comes with all sorts of different kinds of foods that have come with each ethnic group. That’s what I think I like most about where I live. Something else that’s unique is that we have a lot of holidays (19 public holidays and a few observances), so we party a lot.

What kind of system/console are you gaming on? (Generation, Tech specs, etc)

PlayStation 4

What is your gamer tag?

starboy_swagg

How long have you been gaming?

As long as I can remember, I’ve always had a love for it, so I would say awhile!

What was your first video game? Tell us your favorite story about it.

The first video game I played was Nintendo. However, the 1st video game I owned was a poly station, it was one of those bootleg systems with the built in Nintendo games.

What games do you currently play?

FIFA 19, NBA Live 19, Need For Speed, just to name a few…

How much time do you currently spend gaming?

Most of the time I play on the weekends, and whenever I’m not exhausted from work.

Have you entered any gaming competitions? If so, which ones?

What in your opinion makes for a good video game?

A great story line for adventure games, sports movement, and reality of players. Also, good graphics etc.

What are your thoughts on Console gaming vs. PC gaming vs. Mobile gaming? Do you have a favorite?

Doesn’t really matter, but if I have to choose it would be console.

What feature would you like to see added to the current gaming environment?

Umm..I don’t really know.

Why do you use MyGiftCardSupply to purchase gift cards?

I use it because it’s the only way I can purchase anything on the PS4 online store. I also like that I get the gift cards quickly and don’t have to wait days.

What other things interest you, besides gaming?

Joinery/woodworking, movies, parties etc.

PS4’s PlayStation VR

Posted on April 13, 2019 by Ivy

PlayStation VR offers you one of the best ways to experience virtual reality on your home console. This is the only virtual reality experience that was created specifically for consoles. Other platforms are supported on consoles, but this one can’t be beat because it was made specifically for them. It works great, and you can use PSN gift cards to acquire games for it.

Great performance and support

The performance of the PS4 Pro is a great fit for the PlayStation VR because you get all the features you desire with a virtual reality experience. One of the things that makes the platform so great is that it has plenty of games that are either in full VR or have VR support.

Lots of games to play

For example, with PSN cards you can prepare yourself for upcoming games like Iron Man VR. This game really seems to capture the experience of the Iron Man gameplay. Also expect Blood and Truth to be coming out, a game created to mimic the action of John Wick. And if you enjoy horror games, Five Nights with Freddy VR is one of the games that really manages to offer plenty of scares that you won’t want to miss. Concrete Genie and No Man’s Sky are also actively trying to bring in lots of focus on exploration. NMS in particular is sure to be a blast, and having it in full VR will certainly add to the game’s appeal. There is even talk of Apex Legends coming out with a VR version of the game. There can be some things to figure out when getting into these games. But having them in VR is something that definitely shouldn’t be passed up.

VR games are coming in droves

VR is a big push for Sony because they don’t have many PS4 games. Plus, they also removed themselves from E3 this year. This really goes to show that PS4 will be more focused on VR games. That’s great because you get to have more control over how everything plays out with the entire process. It’ll certainly be interesting to see where PlayStation VR will go in the next year or so. We expect a new console to arrive soon, but until then this set of VR experiences is set to bring in lots of great experiences!
