Bookoo 12V 2,000A Car Jump Starter for $22.05

Sony Pictures has delayed the release of Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse by three weeks, the studio announced Friday.

The third entry in the animated Spider-Verse franchise will now open in theaters on June 25, 2027 instead of the previously announced June 4, 2027.

Bob Persichetti and Justin K. Thompson are directing Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse from a screenplay by Phil Lord & Christopher Miller & David Callaham. The film is produced by Phil Lord, Chris Miller, Amy Pascal, Avi Arad and Jinko Gotoh. Executive producers are Aditya Sood and Christina Steinberg.

The filmmakers said at CinemaCon in April that their already delayed film needed time to make sure they got it just right.

Lord said at CinemaCon that Beyond the Spider-Verse picks up the second where they left off in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. Gwen Stacy and Miles Morales’ friends may or may not be enough to save everyone.

Here’s the full rundown of the Spider-Man Beyond the Spider-Verse footage shown at CinemaCon.

indie.io is a video game publishing platform that works with lots of different developers and publishes games in a variety of genres. They’ve published dozens of games, several of which are discounted on Nintendo Switch right now as part of a sale that will run through July 30.

As with indie.io’s library as a whole, the sale includes a wide range of genres. There’s cozy adventures, tactical RPGs, creature collectors, management sims, and more. You can check out the full sale here, but we thought we’d highlight six games that showcase the diversity of titles that are available. Let’s get started:

Echoes of the Plum Grove

Sale: 20% off

The cozy farming sim genre has been thriving in recent years, and Echoes of the Plum Grove adds to the formula by letting you experience multiple generations. Initially, you wash up on an island shore and start with a modest plot of land. Over time, you can expand your homestead, start a family, and grow that family. You can befriend or insult your neighbors, form an alliance with a local witch coven, or poison people who cross you. As the generations pass, these decisions will shape your descendents’ experiences and ultimately define your legacy. The game world is fully hand drawn, with 2D characters in 3D environments that heighten the cozy feel. And while forming relationships through the generations is the central core of the game, there are also mysteries across the island for you to uncover.

Dark Deity

Sale: 75% off

Dark Deity is a strategy RPG that was clearly inspired by classics of the genre. You build up an army, lead your soldiers in turn-based combat, and choose what classes to promote them into as they grow stronger. There are 30 playable characters, and if one of them falls in battle, they’ll suffer grave wounds that drop their stats. So you need to be careful and strategize as you lead your squad from rookies to heroes. The main story is told across 28 chapters that take more than 20 hours to complete, and the “Suns Out, Swords Out” DLC is also available for 20% off as part of the current sale. It adds seven additional levels, each telling a story from before or after the events of the base game.

Coromon

Sale: 50% off

Another modern game that takes inspiration from and builds upon the classics of the genre, Coromon is a monster tamer with more than 100 monsters to catch and train. Each monster is defined by its element, traits, and skills. The battle system is stamina-based and every skill costs SP, so you need to be strategic about when you use your most powerful skills. Meanwhile, traits are inherent to a monster and can trigger when certain conditions are met. They don’t sap stamina when they trigger and differ between monsters of the same species, so they can be an important factor of building your perfect team. The story of Coromon takes you across six biomes as you try to stop a mysterious threat, and there are more reveals and plot twists than you might expect in a typical monster tamer.

Cat Cafe Manager

Sale: 40% off

Game titles don’t get much more clear than this one. In Cat Cafe Manager, you … manage a cat cafe. You inherit an old, rundown cafe in the town of Caterwaul Way, and you’ll need to rebuild and renovate it to give the local stray cats a proper home. You can decorate and expand the space to fit your personal tastes, as well as hire new employees and refine their skills. You can make plenty of feline friends, but you’ll build relationships with humans too. It is a cafe, after all. The villagers will want to stop by and take a load off after a long day, and you can travel across the town to chat with the locals and discover new recipes and other opportunities for your cafe. Who knows, you might even uncover a mystery or two in need of solving.

9 Years of Shadows

Sale: 35% off

And now, for something completely different. 9 Years of Shadows is a side-scrolling Metroidvania where color has been drained from the world for almost a decade (hence the name). You play as Europa, a warrior bent on fighting her way to the mechanical giant Talos and stopping the corruption seeping out of it before everything is swallowed in darkness. You’ll befriend a cute floating bear called Apino who has the ability to bring back color, and together you’ll wield elemental armors, restore vibrant hues, and try to free the world from the colorless curse that plagues it. And as you do, enjoy a soundtrack from composers Michiru Yamane and Norihiko Hibino, known for their work on Castlevania and Metal Gear Solid, respectively.

Mail Time

Sale: 30% off

Our list ends by circling back around to a cozy, relaxing game. Mail Time is a cottagecore adventure set in a whimsical forest where you’re a courier who uses light platforming to deliver letters. You can customize the look of your character and run, jump, and glide your way across the forest to make deliveries to the critters who live there. Relaxation is the focus of the game, with gameplay that doesn’t saddle you with anything stressful. There’s no time limits, pressure, danger, or fall damage. You can just chill, make your deliveries, upgrade your gliding, and do it again. Simplicity can be nice sometimes.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes is a seminal figure in contemporary mystery fiction; he's gone on to inspire countless other characters like Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot, Benoit Blanc from Knives Out, and even Batman in some iterations. The iconic detective has also countless adaptations in various other media, like Sherlock Holmes (2009) starring Robert Downey, Jr. as the titular investigator, and most notably BBC's Sherlock, a modern-day take on the classic stories headed by Benedict Cumberbatch.

What these adaptations all have in common is their faithful-enough recreations of the source material, which was published from 1887 to 1927 in various lengths and forms. Many of these books are collections of dozens of short stories, totalling over 50 individual works. It can be a bit overwhelming knowing how and where to start since the publication dates of the narrative chronology are all over the place, so we've done the research for you.

Our list below only consists of stories written by Arthur Conan Doyle, nothing from authors after him is included.

How Many Sherlock Holmes Books are there?

Doyle's Sherlock Holmes canon is made up of 56 short story collections divided up into multiple books and four full-length novels. After his passing, his son Adrian Conan Doyle took over and continued the Sherlock Holmes legacy with 12 more short stories, which some fans don't consider when reading through. Other authors have been approved to write their own Sherlock Holmes stories over the years too, but we won't be focusing on those here.

Alienware released a new flagship gaming laptop this year - the Area-51 - and it brings to the table a host of upgrades over the m-series laptops including a sleeker redesign, current generation components, and better cooling potential. As part of the Alienware Black Friday in July Sale that's slated to end this weekend, select Area-51 gaming laptops have dropped to the lowest prices I've seen this year. They're all equipped with the newest Intel Core Ultra 9 processors and Nvidia RTX 5000 series Blackwell graphics cards. Check out all of the deals below.

Alienware Area-51 Laptops on Sale for Black Friday in July

The Area-51: New Style, More Power, Better Cooling

New for 2025, the Alienware Area-51 gaming laptop features a magnesium alloy chassis with upgraded cooling to tackle the latest and greatest heat generating components. This includes more fans and bigger cutouts enabling greater airflow, more generous use of copper, and a new thermal interface material to better transfer heat away from the core components. Dell claims that the laptop can handle a higher power ceiling of up to 240W TDP without raising acoustics.

Design-wise, the Area 51 accentuates its smooth contours, with rounded edges and soft corners replacing the squared off design you'd see in most other laptops. The hinges are also mostly internally positioned so that they're near invisible. As befits an Alienware laptop, there are ample customization options for RGB LED lighting.

The Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX is a top performing CPU

The Area-51 laptop is also equipped with a very powerful CPU as well. The Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX boasts a max turbo frequency of 5.4GHz with a whopping 24 cores and 40MB total L2 cache. According to Passmark, this is the second most powerful Intel mobile CPU available right now and goes head to head with AMD's Ryzen 9 7945HX3D.

The RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5080 mobile offer the best performance for your dollar

As expensive as these laptops are, you don't want to spend even more on trivial upgrades. The RTX 5070 Ti mobile GPU boasts performance on par with the RTX 4080 but with the added benefit of faster GDDR7 RAM and DLSS 4.0. The RTX 5080 mobile GPU represents a healthy improvement over the RTX 5070 Ti for a nominal price bump; it's about 15%-20% more powerful than the RTX 5070 Ti and the RTX 4080 that it replaces. It also happens to be about 5% more powerful than the RTX 4090 and has the same amount of memory (16GB). Unfortunately, the RTX 5090 only appears to be just 5% more powerful than the RTX 5080, and its only real benefit is the 24GB of memory, which isn't that useful for gaming (but is an attraction option for professionals who work with AI applications).

Check Out More Alienware Black Friday in July Deals

Check out our Best Alienware Deals article with all of Dell's currently ongoing deals on gaming laptops and desktop PCs. Not everyone is the DIY type. If you're in the market for a prebuilt gaming PC, Dell is one of the best brands we'd recommend. Alienware desktops and laptops feature solid build quality, top-of-the-line gaming performance, excellent cooling (further improved on the newer models), aggressive styling, and pricing that is very competitive with other pre-built options. Best of all, there are plenty of sales that happen throughout the year, so it's not difficult to grab one of these computers at considerably less than their retail price.

Donkey Kong: Bananza is out now, and while most of us are having a bananza smashing our way through Ingot Isle, some players are taking things a bit slower, and spending hours in the game's Artist Mode making wild sculpted creations.

If you're out of the loop, Donkey Kong: Bananza has an unlockable artist mode where you can use your rock-sculpting powers to make 3D shapes, color them in, and share them online with other players. It's basically a virtual carving tool, and it's pretty dang fun to mess with even if you're not much of an artist.

But as with every other game that lets players create with any amount of freedom, players are making some truly excellent stuff already and sharing it online. This is helped by the fact that the Nintendo Switch 2's Joy-Con mouse controls make it much easier to sculpt at a fine level of detail than just flailing around with the joysticks, resulting in some pretty good art overall that's only getting better as people master the system.

A lot of folks are making Nintendo characters, the Kongs obviously, but also...this guy?

Here's a pretty good Samus someone made:

Characters from other games are showing up too, like this excellent Banjo:

I made Banjo with the DK artist mode in Donkey Kong Bananza!! pic.twitter.com/oq0Ap8LZKD

— AS112 (@AS_12239) July 18, 2025

I'm also seeing a weird amount of DK-Homer Simpsons being made - I guess because his head is nice and round and easy to sculpt? And also very similar to Donkey Kong's, I guess?

Some folks are venturing outside the realm of video games with their creations, like these:

It is probably worth mentioning that yes, you can also make inappropriate or bawdy sculptures in the game's artist mode. You do you, of course, but be warned that if you share these creations online, Nintendo might bust out the ban hammer on you and could potentially restrict your Nintendo Account as a result.

Donkey Kong: Bananza is out today, and we highly recommend it, having given the game a 10/10 in our review. As our reviewer put it, "Donkey Kong Bananza is a truly groundbreaking 3D platformer, with satisfying movement, powerful abilities, impressive destructible environments, and clever challenges that all come together in complete harmony to create Nintendo’s first Switch 2 masterpiece."

If you, like us, can't get enough of Bananza, we have plenty of walkthroughs to aid your journey underground, including Banandium Gem locations, starter tips and tricks, and a full walkthrough.

When the Switch 2 preorders were first going up (and selling out), I wrote about how it's still worth buying a Switch 1. I wasn't planning on picking up the new Nintendo console off the bat, but the incredible reviews of Donkey Kong Bananza convinced me to cave and buy one much earlier than I'd expected. IGN gave the game a rare 10 out of 10 review and people are already talking about how it's giving GOTY vibes barely a week after release. As a lifelong Nintendo fan, the potential of missing out on a Donkey Kong masterpiece for a full year was just enough to push me over the edge.

I was first introduced to Donkey Kong in the Super Nintendo days. Donkey Kong Country was challenging and fun, and my brother and I spent countless hours playing it. Then came Donkey Kong 64, which if I remember correctly, actually required an Expansion Pak to function. It was the first 3D game I'd played that truly felt new and sits comfortably as one of my favorite games from my childhood.

These feelings of nostalgia are definitely what drove me to move up my Switch 2 purchase timeline, but who am I to deny myself a little bit of magic every once and a while? I was pretty worried I wouldn't be able to find a console available anywhere since stock has been pretty spotty since release, but I actually managed to secure a Mario Kart Switch 2 bundle at Target today. We've also been getting reports of folks receiving Switch 2 invites on Amazon.

If you're like me and have decided to pull the trigger on the latest Nintendo console, you can check IGN's ongoing Switch 2 stock updates or try jumping to the links below to see if any are available in your area.

LEGO increasingly caters itself towards an adult audience, which begs the question: where are adults going to keep these massive sets after they finish building them? The LEGO Art sets provide one possible answer to this dilemma. There's plenty of wall space in the average dwelling – at least in comparison to the amount of shelf space.

Real-life masterpieces inspired these brick-based works of art. Here are the best LEGO Art sets you can buy in 2025.

Star Trek will forever be one of the most influential sci-fi franchises of all time. Born in 1966, the legend of the USS Enterprise still lives on today, and no prop is more iconic than the original Tricorder. This essential item first appeared in 1996 and was used to perform environmental scans, record data, and analyze it. Despite being so iconic and inspiring numerous devices, the original Tricorder has never been released to the public in its true, authentic form. However, that changes today.

The Wand Company, known for its premium prop replicas, has finally completed its nine-year journey to create a replica of the original Star Trek Tricorder. If you're a fan of the legendary sci-fi series, this is an incredibly unique item that will upgrade your entire collection to the next level.

Christmas is still a ways away, but it's never a bad time to get fun Nintendo memorabilia. Hallmark is dropping a new selection of video game themed keepsake Christmas tree ornaments next week, on July 21. You can preorder them on Amazon now, and there are dozens of other ornaments from other games to pick from, like Minecraft, Halo, and Sonic the Hedgehog that are already available.

The latest batch of ornaments includes characters from notable Nintendo franchises like the Legend of Zelda, Pokémon, and Super Mario.

Hallmark Keepsake Nintendo Christmas Ornaments Are Available Next Week

Hallmark's upcoming Nintendo ornament selection is pretty cool for fans of their games. They're all made of plastic and vary in size but shouldn't stand more than just a couple inches high, making them easy to store away with the rest of Christmas stuff throughout the year. There's a handful of Pokémon
available like Pikachu, Venusaur, and Blastoise, but there's no Charizard. What gives, Hallmark? You can also grab an awesome Elephant Mario from Super Mario Bros. Wonder, one of my personal favorite Nintendo Switch games. The Link from The Legend of Zelda ornament is easily the coolest one, as it not only features his classic NES design, but it plays sounds and music from the games. It's a good Legend of Zelda gift to give someone before Christmas. Other Nintendo themed ornaments you can get are Pikmin, Poké Balls, Cat Mario, Samus Aran, and Isabel from Animal Crossing.

A notable omission is an ornament featuring Donkey Kong. Donkey Bananza on Nintendo Switch 2 just released, so it's odd Nintendo and Hallmark wouldn't try to capitalize on the success of one of their biggest properties. IGN's Logan Plant gave Donkey Kong Bananza a ten, saying "Donkey Kong Bananza is a truly groundbreaking 3D platformer, with satisfying movement, powerful abilities, impressive destructible environments, and clever challenges that all come together in complete harmony to create Nintendo’s first Switch 2 masterpiece."

If you're envious of the Steam Deck experience or looking for an alternative to Windows 11, you're in luck. You can install the Steam Deck’s operating system, SteamOS, on your gaming PC for free using Valve's official SteamOS recovery image.

While Valve doesn't guarantee support for every PC yet, SteamOS can run on most AMD-powered systems. It only took an hour to get it up and running on my PC and you can do the same.

Before You Get Started

There are a couple things you'll need to install SteamOS on your PC, and a few things you should know before trying this.

For starters, SteamOS hasn't had a full PC release yet, so it's only officially supported on a handful of devices. You can still try to install it on PCs that don't have official support, but as a general rule, SteamOS works best with all-AMD systems. If you have an Nvidia GPU or an Intel processor, you're more likely to run into issues. For this guide, I installed SteamOS on a PC with an AMD Ryzen 5 5600G CPU and Radeon integrated graphics.

It's also important to note that SteamOS is a distribution of Linux, which means apps that are only available on Windows won't run on it. Most games that require kernel-level anti-cheat aren't compatible, either.

To get SteamOS installed on your PC, you'll need an empty USB drive with at least 8GB of space. I also recommend having a second storage device on hand, whether it's an external hard drive or a USB thumb drive, to back up your PC beforehand.

How to Install SteamOS

1. Backup your PC

Installing SteamOS requires wiping your PC's drive, so I recommend backing up everything on your PC first. I use an external hard drive to back up all my files, but you can use any drive you like, including cloud storage. The important thing is to save your files on a different drive than the one you're planning to install SteamOS on (don't use the USB drive you're going to put your SteamOS recovery image on, either).

If you have multiple drives on your gaming PC and want to make sure data on your other drives isn't wiped while installing SteamOS, it's a good idea to physically remove those drives from your PC.

2. Download the SteamOS recovery image

After backing up your PC, download the official SteamOS recovery image. This contains the default version of SteamOS that ships with the Steam Deck. It's designed for restoring a Steam Deck (or another compatible handheld gaming PC, like the Lenovo Legion Go S) if something happens to your original installation, but you can also use this recovery image for a new installation of SteamOS. After downloading the zip file, extract it.

3. Flash the SteamOS recovery image to a USB thumb drive

The next step is creating bootable media with the SteamOS recovery image and an empty USB drive. Make sure the drive you use has at least 8GB of storage on it and doesn't have any other files (the drive will get wiped in the process of creating your bootable media).

To do this, you need a disk image writing tool like BalenaEtcher or Rufus. I used BalenaEtcher. With the empty USB thumb drive plugged in, I selected "Flash from file" and chose the SteamOS recovery image extracted from the zip file, then selected the USB thumb drive as the destination. It may take several minutes to flash the SteamOS recovery image onto your drive. Once it's done, shut down your PC.

4. Boot into the BIOS on your PC and update your boot priority

Next, turn your PC back on, but make sure you boot into your BIOS (not your operating system). If you don't know the BIOS key for your PC, you can find it by checking the manual for your motherboard (or laptop). Delete and Escape are common BIOS keys. As your PC is starting back up, repeatedly press your BIOS key.

The BIOS looks different depending on your PC, but the setting you need to update is your boot priority. This determines which drive your PC boots into first. Make sure you have your USB drive with the SteamOS recovery image plugged in and set it as the first option in your boot priority. Save the changes and exit your BIOS (which will start the regular booting process).

5. Boot into SteamOS recovery image

After exiting the BIOS, your PC should attempt to boot into the drive with the SteamOS recovery image. It can take a few minutes for SteamOS to start up. At first, all you'll see is scrolling lines of text on a black screen – that's Linux going through the SteamOS startup checklist. Once it's complete, your screen will go black, potentially for several minutes, while SteamOS is launching.

Eventually, the SteamOS desktop environment will show up, but this can also take a few minutes, so leave your PC alone while it gets everything up and running. When it's ready, your mouse and toolbar will appear on screen, along with four icons along the top of your screen.

To install SteamOS, double click the icon labeled "Wipe Device & Install SteamOS." You'll get a pop up warning you that this process will permanently delete everything on your device. If you're sure you want to go ahead with the installation, select "Proceed."

6. Allow SteamOS to install on your PC

After allowing the SteamOS installation to begin, a terminal will appear on your screen. Don't close it or attempt to change anything in it – this terminal is running the SteamOS installation. Don't attempt to do anything else in the desktop environment while this is running, either.

When the process is complete, you'll see a pop up asking if you want to proceed with a reboot. Select "Proceed" and let your PC restart. This can also take a few minutes, so don't hit your power button or unplug your system.

7. Reboot and set up SteamOS

After rebooting, you should see the SteamOS welcome screen. Go through the steps on screen to get your PC set up. When you're done, SteamOS will search for updates, download them, and restart again. After that, you should see the Steam sign-in page. Log in and you'll be good to go!

SteamOS will launch in Steam's Big Picture Mode since it's designed for handheld gaming PCs, but you can navigate it with a mouse and keyboard if you want (or a controller). It also has a normal desktop environment outside of Steam where you can install other apps, like Discord, and use your PC for any other normal tasks like web browsing. To move from Steam to your regular desktop environment, select the Menu button in the bottom left, then "Power" then "Switch to Desktop."

Tip: Epic Games and GOG don't have Linux apps, but you can play compatible games from those apps on your SteamOS PC using the Heroic Games launcher.

Can't Install SteamOS? Try These Alternative Linux Distributions

SteamOS doesn't have a full PC release yet, so it won't work on every system. If you can't get it running with your hardware, your best bet is to install a different Linux distribution until SteamOS gets a full release.

The first alternative I recommend is Bazzite. This is one of the best Linux distributions for gaming, especially if you're new to Linux. Bazzite even works on handheld gaming PCs, if you're looking to replace Windows 11 on your handheld.

If Bazzite isn't your cup of tea, beginner-friendly distributions like Fedora, Ubuntu, and Mint are also good options. Due to their popularity, it's easy to find troubleshooting help for these distributions and each can be configured to resemble Windows or macOS if you want a more familiar desktop environment.

Games Workshop’s The Big Summer Warhammer Preview Show 2025 offered a tantalising look at the tabletop wargaming company's upcoming slate, and we’ve rounded up everything revealed to help you catch up in case you missed the livestream.

There were announcements for Warhammer 40,000, Warhammer Age of Sigmar, Kill Team, Warhammer: The Horus Heresy, Legions Imperialis, Warhammer Underworlds, and even a surprise Space Marine 2 reveal.

This live report is now concluded.

The Leagues of Votann

Proceedings kicked of with a reveal for The Leagues of Votann (Warhammer 40,000's take on space dwarves). It's a huge plastic expansion, the biggest since the faction launched, that includes new troops, new artillery, new heroes and new abominable intelligence. There's a new Combat Patrol (an army starter pack or a set to bulk out an existing force) for The Leagues of Votann, and check out Buri Aegnirssen, a specialist Tyranid hunter, below. Yes, that's a Tyranid Prime on top of his head.

Supporting the release is a new Leagues of Votann Codex, packed with lore and new rules.

Warhammer: The Old World

Next up was a reveal for Warhammer: The Old World. Brand new units are coming to the Tomb Kings of Khemri. There are two new Arcane Journals, the first dubbed The War of Settra's Fury, which was described as "a really cool way of looking at the lore of The Old World," the second called Dawn of the Storm Dragon.

Warhammer: Age of Sigmar

Moving on to Age of Sigmar, which celebrates its 10-year anniversary, there are two factions from the Grand Alliance of Death on their way with new units, new battletomes and new army rules.

We have the Flesh-Eater Courts Death Battletome, alongside a new mini to support: High Falconer Felgryn. Also coming to the Flesh-Eater army is the Charnel Watch. And there's the Death Battletome for the Nighthaunt, packed with lore and "some significant defensive buffs." Check out the wonderfully-named Lord Vitriolic, below:

Helsmiths of Hashut

Here's a big one: the Chaos Dwarfs faction returns for Age of Sigmar as the Helsmiths of Hashut. This new faction includes the Infernal Cohort with Hashutite Spears, the War Despot, the Dominator Engine, and the Tormentor Bombard war machine. As you'd expect, the set includes a new Battletome.

Warhammer: Underworlds

Games Workshop then revealed the Spitewood Expansion set for Warhammer: Underworlds. Designed as an expansion to the Embergard boxed set, Spitewood contains two brand new warbands, two new Rivals decks, a new double-sided board, and a token board that includes new feature tokens representing deposits of Aqua Ghyranis.

Legions Imperialis

Leaving Age of Sigmar behind, Games Workshop revealed new tanks for the Horus Heresy game, Legions Imperialis, including the Typhon Heavy Siege Tank Squadron, the Cerberus Heavy Tank Destroyer, and the Mastadon Assault Transport, the latter of which was described as the "30,000 equivalent of a siege tower."

Warhammer: The Horus Heresy

Also coming to the 30,000 setting is the MKII Assault Squad and the Journal Tactica: The Forges of Saturn.

Black Library

The Scouring is confirmed! As fans had speculated, The Scouring period of Warhammer 40,000's long history is getting its own novel series, kicking off with Ashes of the Imperium by Chris Wraight. This multi-book, multi-author series is set to reveal what happens to the Imperium and the Traitor Legions after the end of The Horus Heresy. Ashes of the Imperium will be released later in the year.

Warhammer 40,000

40K is getting five new Space Marine characters: Vulkan He’stan (Salamanders); Darnath Lysander (Imperial Fists); Aethon Shaan (Raven Guard); Caanok Var (Iron Hands); and Suboden Khan (White Scars). It's worth noting Aethon Shaan is the new Chapter Master of the Raven Guard, replacing Kayvaan Shrike, who's decided to step back from the top job and operate from the shadows.

There are a series of Combat Patrols coming to accompany the release of the characters for the Imperial Fists, White Scars, Iron Hands, Raven Guard, and Salamanders.

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2

Games Workshop announced the first ever officially licensed, wearable Space Marine helmet. This is the MKX helmet Lieutenant Titus wears in the Space Marine video game series. The lenses inside illuminate!

Kill Team

Games Workshop announced a brand new Kill Team box set featuring the Necrons versus the Deathwatch, which Games Workshop said is probably the most requested Kill Team release ever. Tomb World sees Kill Team "return to the Close Quarters gameplay pioneered in Kill Team: Into the Dark, this time with an all-new Necron-themed killzone complete with shimmering portals, teleportation pads, and regenerating walls."

The Tomb World Dossier book contains background lore for the two kill teams and the Tomb World of Somneft they’re fighting over, "setting up a decisive showdown between Kill Team Vaskovian and Amhetra’s Cryptoretinue."

And that's it! We've wrapped up everything announced during Games Workshop's Big Summer Warhammer Preview Show 2025. What was your highlight?

Bose just kicked off a new summer sale promotion with 25% off its entire inventory of certified refurbished Bose headphones, earbuds, soundbars, and portable speakers with you apply coupon code "SUMMER25". In all fairness, a few of these deals are slightly higher than the best deals we saw during Prime Day (by slightly I mean by about $10-$20), however those deals have since expired and I don't think we'll see better pricing until Black Friday.

Best Xbox Game Pass Deals

Without any prior warning, Microsoft has today removed the ability to buy movies and TV content on Xbox consoles and Windows devices.

The surprise move was first spotted by fans as Microsoft published a Q&A detailing the changes — as they were already going live.

Previously-purchased film and TV content can still be viewed, and you can still use your Xbox to play media you already own, such as DVDs and Blu-rays. But film and TV fans will no longer be able to add to their digital libraries, won't be able to move content to other services, and no refunds will be given should you want help to rebuild your library elsewhere.

On consoles, the sudden nature of today's store closure is evident by the fact that the Xbox marketplace still features movies and TV sections, though these areas of the store are now completely empty. Presumably these will now be fully removed via a future console update.

Microsoft has not given a reason why it has decided to end the sale of movie and TV content, though with the rise of streaming subscription services such as Netflix, Amazon Prime and Disney+, digital media ownership has been impacted.

For those who do still want to own content outright, meanwhile, collectors continue to buy good old physical media — something that might be cumbersome, but comes without the worry of requiring internet connectivity or long-term service support.

In a response within Microsoft's own Q&A, the company essentially says similar of its decision — and now simply points users elsewhere.

"The Xbox and Microsoft Store on Windows have other entertainment services that offer the latest home entertainment releases," Microsoft states. "The following transactional services are available today: Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, and Fandango at Home, among others."

While perhaps not the most popular method of owning digital content, the sudden nature of the service's closure by Microsoft has raised eyebrows. The change comes just weeks after Microsoft's latest round of layoffs, when around 4%, or just over 9,000 staff, were cut across the company.
