FIFA’s first post‑EA football sim will be a Netflix Games exclusive The Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) is partnering with Netflix to release the organization’s first major simulation-style football game since the split with EA.

That emphasis on approachability suggests the title may prioritize pick-up-and-play appeal over the deep simulation mechanics longtime EA fans expect. Why this is notable Major rights shift: FIFA’s move to…

macOS 26.2 refreshes Apple Music’s MiniPlayer with Liquid Glass styling Apple’s macOS 26.2 update brings a visual refresh to the Apple Music MiniPlayer, aligning it with the system’s newer “Liquid Glass” design language.
