The idea of Xbox and Netflix joining forces for a subscription bundle has started gaining attention online, even though nothing official has been announced. According to recent reports, Microsoft's Xbox division and Netflix have previously discussed the possibility of combining their subscription services in some form, creating a potential crossover between gaming and streaming entertainment.

Netflix is once again pushing its subscription prices higher, at least in the United States, adding another round of cost increases for users who are already used to seeing streaming prices slowly creep upward. The updated U.S. pricing now lists the ad-supported plan at US$8.99, the standard ad-free plan at US$19.99, and the premium tier at US$26.99. Multiple reports say the changes first appeared on Netflix's support pages rather than through a major public rollout.

Disney+ is clearly paying attention to how people discover content today, and that means meeting viewers where their habits already are. Instead of expecting users to slowly browse rows of thumbnails or dig through categories, the platform is now experimenting with something much more familiar to mobile users: a vertical video feed. In the US, Disney+ has introduced a new feature called Verts, a short-form, swipeable feed designed to help subscribers discover shows and movies through quick clips rather than traditional menus.

If you're thinking of signing up for iQIYI in Malaysia, there's a new "subscribe before the deadline" moment coming up. iQIYI says it will increase subscription prices for new customers starting 1 April 2026, while existing subscribers keep paying their current rates for the paid tiers.
