  "account": "Samsung, the tech giant, has announced a significant collaboration with Activision for their upcoming Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 game. This deal extends beyond the standard partnership, as Samsung and Activision are integrating HDR10+ Gaming into the game. This integration will launch the game with support for a 32:9 aspect ratio, providing Odyssey G9 monitor owners with a wider view of the battlefield.\n\nThe partnership doesn't stop at display support. Samsung is also offering early beta codes to Gamescom visitors and has even made Modern Warfare 4 Beta Early Access codes available through the Samsung Promotion app for a select number of players from August 21 to August 25. The wider Open Beta then runs from August 28 to September 1.\n\nSamsung is also leveraging its Gaming Hub to promote Call of Duty: NEXT, with selected players set to receive Modern Warfare 4 Beta Early Access codes during the event on August 21. The game itself is slated for release on October 23.\n\nIn addition to this, Samsung is set to showcase Modern Warfare 4 at Gamescom 2026 at its booth, where players will be able to play the game on premium Odyssey gaming monitors. Selected booth visitors will receive Modern Warfare 4 Vault Edition Battle.net codes.\n\nInterestingly, Samsung's involvement in this partnership could potentially fill a gap in their product lineup. While they offer a range of audio products like Galaxy Buds, speakers, soundbars, and the Music Frame, they have not yet ventured into over-ear wireless headphones. A report suggests that Samsung is internally developing a pair of wireless headphones, known as the Galaxy H1.\n\nMeanwhile, on the audio front, Sonos is reportedly preparing to launch a new pair of premium headphones, the Sonos Ace Ultra. According to a leak, the Ace Ultra will be available in Europe for €449, which is €50 less than the original Ace's launch price of €499. The headphones are expected to be announced on September 1, 2026, with sales starting on September 29.",
