Overkill 3 for windows phone will never support 512MB devices

If you have a windows phone with just 512MB of RAM, you will never be able to play the third person sci-fi shooter Overkill 3. Its publisher, GameTroopers, has confirmed that game won’t get an update that will allow support for those phones.

The publisher posted the bad news on its twitter account today:

“unfortunately Overkill 3 won’t support 512mb devices ever. Even while it could optimize memory, the performance on some devices is bad.”

That’s certainly bad news for a lot of current windows phone owners and it shows that more and more apps and games are being made without support for low-end devices.

Volvo will add Cortana voice control support to its Windows Phone app in June

Owners of windows phone devices and Volvo cars will soon be able to control aspects of the car via Cortana. The car maker announced plans to update its windows phone app, Volvo on call, in late June to include voice control support via Microsoft’s DIGITAL ASSISTANT.

Details about what exactly Volvo owners will be able to control via Cortana have yet to be revealed. The company did say that the app update will include “enhanced ‘send-to-car’ capabilities purposes”. Volvo also plans to update their apps for Android and IOS that will allow owners to control aspects of their car via android wear smartwatches and apple watch.

Volvo on call is currently available in 21 markets and is a standard for Volvo car buyers in Brazil, the US and Canada. The company says it currently has around 230,000 active subscribers for Volvo on call worldwide. The windows phone version off the app already allows users to locate their Volvo car on a map, along with remote locking of their vehicle and getting help from roadside assistance, among other things.
