Based on the already-popular game series, the Pokémon anime became a cultural phenomenon almost immediately after it was first released in the '90s. A quarter-century later, the franchise is about as long as legendary anime like One Piece.
Unlike something like One Piece or Dragon Ball, which have a continuous, serialized story, Pokémon is more of an episodic narrative with mostly standalone episodes. Even though there is a progression from series to series, you could theoretically skip around and watch the ones that interest you the most without being completely lost.
Still, the era of streaming splitting everything up between multiple platforms makes finding (let alone watching) the entirety of Pokémon a mighty task. That's why we're here: to round up where you can watch every Pokémon season and movie online.
How Long Is the Pokémon Series?
The Pokémon series so far includes over 1300 episodes across 27 seasons. There are also 23 animated Pokémon movies and the live-action Detective Pikachu film. In addition to the streaming links listed below, most of the Pokémon series is available on DVD.
How to Watch Pokémon Online (in Order)
For American audiences, the Pokémon series is split across quite a few streaming services. The original series as well as the most recent seasons can be found on U.S. Netflix, while some seasons can be found on free streaming sites like Tubi. Hoopla, which requires a library card but is otherwise free, has a "Pokémon Bingepass" that includes Seasons 6-13 of the anime series and is the only way to stream seasons 6-10 online.
Otherwise, Prime Video has a Pokémon channel add-on for $2.99/month that lets you stream a decent chunk of the series that isn't available elsewhere. Prime Video subscriptions, including the Pokémon channel, offer a seven-day free trial for those trying to watch a specific movie or series for free. Just remember to cancel your subscription before it auto-renews.
1. Pokémon Indigo League (1997)
Pokémon the Series: Season 1
The season that started it all! This one is full of exciting moments, but also rather emotional ones — including a final heartbreak that sets the stage for Pokémon's approach to winning and losing.
One of the best Pokémon movies, this is as big a '90s time capsule as they come, with a bangin' soundtrack and some big tear-jerking sequences ("Brother My Brother" never fails to hit hard).
Where to Stream: You have to rent or purchase this one digitally (see at Prime Video)
3. Pokémon Mewtwo Strikes Back: Evolution (2019)
A CGI remake of the first movie, it notoriously removes what made the original so endearing, namely, the soundtrack. But it does have more Mewtwo than the U.S. version of the original.
A downgrade from the first season, but nevertheless an exciting Pokémon adventure. Here we meet a new companion in Tracy, and the Orange League tournament is one of the show's best.
5. Pokémon The Movie 2000 — The Power of One (1999)
A fascinating villain, world-ending stakes, and some cool visuals make this one of the best Pokémon movies. Plus, it gives Team Rocket arguably their best arc in the whole franchise.
The start of the Gold and Silver series, this one has a very underrated opening song, and a whole new set of Pokémon! It can't be understated how cool it was to see this in 1999, before it became an obvious and expected tradition.
7. Pokémon 3: The Movie - Spell of the Unown (2000)
Aside from some very dated CGI, this film has an interesting WandaVision-esque cosmic story that's more introspective than the previous two. The relationship between Entei and Molly makes the movie work.
9. Pokémon 4Ever: Celebi- Voice of the Forest (2001)
Time-travel shenanigans in Pokémon! The movies were already weird before, but this one turns it up to 11 and paves the way for the extremely weird stories to come.
Where to Stream: You have to rent or purchase this one digitally (see at Prime Video)
10. Pokémon Master Quest (2001)
Pokémon the Series: Season 5
The end of the original Pokémon franchise, and the first one to be animated digitally, the season features a thrilling fight with Gary.
This is where Pokémon start getting terrifying when you stop to think about them. An ancient Pokémon awakens and a kaiju Pokémon is resurrected to cause devastation.
Where to Stream: You have to rent or purchase this one digitally (see at Prime Video)
14. Pokémon Advanced Challenge (2003)
Pokémon the Series: Season 7
May's quest to become a Pokémon Coordinator makes for an interesting parallel to Ash's story, putting 10-year-old Ash in a sort of mentor role. At the same time, the Team Magma and Team Aqua subplots are quite entertaining.
The one where they go to a city based on Vancouver, this movie features an alien Pokémon coming from space to conquer the Earth. This is the kaiju era of the franchise, and it rules.
Where to Stream: You have to rent or purchase this one digitally (see at Prime Video)
16. Pokémon Advanced Battle (2004)
Pokémon the Series: Season 8
The adventure continues with Ash trying to gather enough medals to enter the Battle Frontier tournament.
19. Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea (2006)
What if Pokémon did Atlantis: The Lost Empire? Or, more accurately, Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water? The result is a movie full of pirates, environmental themes, and water-themed fun.
Where to Stream: Prime Video (with Pokemon add-on)
20. Pokémon Diamond and Pearl (2006)
Pokémon the Series: Season 10
A vast improvement over the previous season, this time Ash's new Pokémon Coordinator companion, Dawn, is much more developed than May, and we get a fascinating new rival trainer in Paul.
The first part of a fantastic trilogy, this movie is close to being a full-on cosmic horror film. The titular Darkrai is quite Lovecraftian in nature, making for a darker, more sinister movie.
22. Pokémon Diamond and Pearl: Battle Dimension (2007)
Pokémon the Series: Season 11
This is where the dynamic between Ash and Dawn pays off as we see them being challenged in unique ways. Plus, the emergence of Team Galactic raises the stakes and stands apart from previous evil teams.
The second chapter in the trilogy ups the trippy ante, trapping Ash and his friends in a bizarre mirror dimension. Giratina is a terrifying creature, a kaiju-like god of chaos whose ability to manipulate reality elevates it above other Pokémon villains.
24. Pokémon Diamond and Pearl: Galactic Battles (2008)
Pokémon the Series: Season 12
Team Galactic is on the offensive and they threaten to wreak havoc on the Pokémon world. Meanwhile, Ash fights Paul in a thrilling duel that's not just about their skills, but their opposing philosophies about Pokémon.
The end of the movie trilogy goes takes the franchise to a theological place, with Arceus presenting itself as an actual PokéGod. This is a very wild movie, essentially a biblical epic, but with Pokémon, plus there is a lot of time-travel.
26. Pokémon Diamond and Pearl: Sinnoh League Victors (2010)
Pokémon the Series: Season 13
Team Rocket is back! And they are up to no good. Meanwhile, Ash tries to qualify for the Sinnoh League while Dawn trains to compete in the Grand Festival.
Another movie about trying to control a powerful Pokémon and upsetting the balance of nature, leading to widespread destruction. It's not the most original of the movies.
We have a new land, new Pokémon, and two new companions! Iris and Cilan join Ash on their new adventure as he also encounters Team Plasma — who actually oppose Team Rocket and want to free Pokémon!
29. Pokémon the Movie: Black – Victini and Reshiram (2011)
Now, this is an interesting experiment. Two parts of the same story, the "Reshiram/Zekrom" movies, much like the game, feature virtually the same story only swapping out the central Pokémon.
Where to Stream: Prime Video (with Pokemon add-on)
30. Pokémon the Movie: White – Victini and Zekrom (2011)
Virtually the same movie, but rather than Ash encountering Reshiram, he sees the legendary Pokémon Zekrom. There's an island on the verge of destruction, an angry Pokémon, and a world to save.
Where to Stream: Prime Video (with Pokemon add-on)
31. Pokémon Black and White: Rival Destinies (2011)
Pokémon the Series: Season 15
Much like the Black and White games served as a soft reboot of the game series, so is this season also a reboot of sorts. Sadly, this means Ash is no longer a veteran with a bad track record, but a rookie once again.
32. Pokémon the Movie: Kyurem vs the Sword of Justice (2012)
A rare Pokémon movie that focuses not on the humans, but a critter named Keldeo who wishes to join a Pokémon supersquad. It's a heartfelt story about Pokémon and their goals and dreams.
Where to Stream: Prime Video (with Pokemon add-on)
33. Pokémon Black and White: Adventures in Unova and Beyond (2012)
Pokémon the Series: Season 16
Though they have foiled Team Rocket, there is new danger lurking in the shadows. Meanwhile, Ash is ready to face the Unova League while Iris heads to a Village of Dragons to help inspire her Dragonite.
34. Pokémon the Movie: Genesect and the Legend Awakened (2013)
The one where Pokémon becomes Jurassic Park. An ancient Pokémon species is resurrected and they immediately start wreaking havoc — until a familiar face arrives to save the day.
Where to Stream: Prime Video (with Pokemon add-on)
35. Pokémon XY (2013)
Pokémon the Series: Season 17
Ash once again trades his companions, this time being joined by the inventor Clemond, his little sister Bonnie, and the Pokémon performer Serena. Together they venture through the Kalos region and encounter numerous new Pokémon.
Where to Stream: You have to rent or purchase this one digitally (see at Prime Video)
36. Pokémon the Movie: Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction (2014)
Greedy collectors try to capture a gem-based Pokémon princess, and only Ash can stop them. It's another movie with a rather basic plot that's been repeated better elsewhere on this list.
Where to Stream: Prime Video (with Pokemon add-on)
37. Pokémon XY: Kalos Quest (2013)
Pokémon the Series: Season 18
There is a reason this series is considered peak Pokémon. It has a rather heroic portrayal of Ash, some of the best battles in the entire anime, and quite a lot of excitement when it comes to the new Mega Evolutions.
Where to Stream: You have to rent or purchase this one digitally (see at Prime Video)
38. Pokémon the Movie: Hoopa and the Clash of Ages (2015)
An imp-like Pokémon imprisoned in a bottle is released and starts playing pranks, but his shadow starts growing into a giant evil version of itself. This is one of the most fun Pokémon deities, and reason enough to watch this movie.
Team Flare makes its move against the legendary Zygarde which is prophesied to destroy all of Kalos. Meanwhile Ash finally competes in the Kalos League Conference.
Where to Stream: You have to rent or purchase this one digitally (see at Prime Video)
40. Pokémon the Movie: Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel (2016)
A steampunk location gives this movie a unique look that matches the more mechanical Pokémon that are the stars of the show. It also features a villain on a flying fortress war machine, making one cool fantasy movie.
Where to Stream: Prime Video (with Pokemon add-on)
41. Pokémon Sun and Moon (2016)
Pokémon the Series: Season 20
A big departure from the seasons that preceded it, this season boasts a unique art style and a more emotional journey for Ash than we've seen before. This is considered either the pinnacle of the series or a huge letdown, depending on who you ask.
After 20 years, Pokémon remembers Ash is still a 10-year-old, so he finally goes to school rather than live in the wilderness. Meanwhile, an organization all about Pokémon conservation turns out to be quite shady, and Ash also has visions of legendary Pokémon.
A loose reboot of the anime's pilot episode, this movie is good for those who want to relive the most iconic moments from the show's early days and those who want to enter the franchise. Also, this is the movie where Pikachu talks, and it is absolutely terrifying.
Where to Stream: Prime Video (with Pokemon add-on)
44. Pokémon Sun and Moon: Ultra Legends (2018)
Pokémon the Series: Season 22
It's tournament time! But that's not Ash has on his mind, because the Alola region is in danger and it is up to Ash and his friends to save it from destruction.
Though not at all part of the official Pokémon order, this is the single best movie in the franchise. The first live-action/animation hybrid, the movie is a hugely entertaining adventure filled with Easter Eggs, and a clear love letter to the franchise.
Where to Stream: You have to rent or purchase this one digitally (see at Prime Video)
48. Pokémon Master Journeys (2020)
Pokémon the Series: Season 24
This is where things get very interesting. While Ash is climbing the rankings of the World Coronation Series, he and his friends discover strange occurrences happening in the Galar region, including clones and Pokémon devolving. Stakes don't get higher than literal gods intervening.
This is it. The moment of truth. At this point, there's no hiding it, if you aren't aware that Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town becomes the Pokémon World Champion, you've been living under a rock. This is the culmination of nearly a quarter-century's worth of Pokémon, a highly emotional season that reintroduces old friends like Misty and Brock, has some spectacular action animation, the return of a fan-favorite song, and a perfect end to the story of Ash and Pikachu.
After saying goodbye to Ash and Pikachu, we meet two new protagonists — Liko and Roy, who are joined by Frede and his companion Captain Pikachu. It's a brand new Pokémon adventure!
One of the best Pokémon series ever isn't even part of the main story, or even in traditional animation. Instead, this stop-motion show follows Haru as she arrives to work at a Pokémon resort and encounters all kinds of Pokéguests and Pokéemployees.
53. Pokémon Horizons – The Search for Laqua (2024)
Pokémon the Series: Season 27
Part of the appeal of Horizons is that it's a more traditional anime, with an arc-based structure and a bigger focus on adventure. There are mysteries to solve, new challenges, battles, and enemies.
The second season of Pokémon Horizons, The Search for Laqua, arrived on Netflix this past February. It continues the more recent trend of Pokémon seasons being distinct from the ongoing game generations. We'll likely see a third Horizons season (or even a new series) at some point in 2026.
More Pokémon Updates
A lot’s been happening in the world of Pokémon. The next mainline game, Pokémon Legends Z-A, is arriving later this year for Switch and Switch 2. The Pokémon trading card game is bigger than ever, for better or worse. The next TCG expansion, Destined Rivals, releases in just a couple of weeks. Meanwhile, the digital version of the trading card game, Pokémon TCG Pocket, continues to release frequent updates, most recently the Celestial Guardians expansion based on the Sun and Moon generation.

Thunderbolts* has the longest post-credits scene of any film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
While we won’t be divulging the contents of that scene here – looking for our Thunderbolts Ending Explained once the film opens – we can confirm that the post-credits scene runs 2 minutes and 54 seconds.
This is only counting the MCU films, mind you, not the Disney+ series. Hawkeye’s finale had a mid-credits scene that showed a full performance of “Save the City” from the in-world Broadway show Rogers: The Musical, which ran over four minutes long.
Not among the film’s haters was IGN’s Clint Gage, who awarded Thunderbolts* a 7 out of 10.
In his Thunderbolts* review, Gage called the film “the most solid the sacred timeline has felt in a little while, providing an adventure befitting its overlooked title characters.”
Marvel’s Thunderbolts* opens in theaters this weekend.
As promised, the team behind Tamriel Rebuilt has released a new version of it. Version 25.05 features the new Grasping Fortune Update, which brings new content to it. So, if you are a fan of Morrowind, I highly recommend trying it.

It may seem like everything is getting more expensive right now, but for Tolkien fans, prices seem to be in a sweet spot. The massive Lord of the Rings Deluxe Illustrated Edition has just dropped in price once more on Amazon to a new low. We covered the last sale back in March when this huge tome got a discount, but this time around, the deal is even better.
This special edition of Tolkien's Lord of the Rings books has dropped to $103, which is a significant 59% off the usual price. Still, $250 may be a bit too steep for a cool Lord of the Rings gift, but when you cut that price in half, it starts to seem a little more reasonable.
The Lord of the Rings Illustrated Edition Has Its Best Deal at Amazon
Not only is this the lowest price we've seen in 2025 on this LotR edition, it's also the lowest-ever price we've seen. Amazon is currently the only retailer with this discount, with stores like Barnes & Noble still selling the book for full price. Amazon has consistently been one of the best places to buy books in 2025, and that has been especially true for collector's editions like this one.
It is worth noting that while this edition includes all of the books from the Lord of the Rings trilogy, it doesn't include all of Tolkien's works. There are also deluxe illustrated editions of The Hobbit and Similarillion available, and a more affordable set of illustrated books that feature different designs and details. We've gathered all of those options for you below which also make great gifts for LotR fans:
What Comes With the Deluxe Special Edition?
The special deluxe version of The Lord of the Rings: Illustrated Edition is a single-volume hardbound book that comes in an eye-catching, intricately etched slipcase. It features a striking red-and-black design that’s meant to evoke the novel's first edition. The book itself is 1,248 pages, and includes the entire fantasy epic and appendices. The text is “corrected and reset,” and printed in red and black ink. Interspersed throughout this massive tome are 30 illustrations hand-drawn by Tolkien himself. These include maps, color illustrations, and sketches. Also included in the package are two fold-out maps of Middle-earth drawn by Christopher Tolkien.
Don’t Worry Darling star Florence Pugh didn’t want the darlings in her life to worry about her jumping off the second tallest building in the world while shooting Marvel’s Thunderbolts*.
Pugh chatted with IGN’s Jeffrey Vega about performing the spectacular stunt, which has been highlighted in the MCU film’s trailers and marketing promos. The sequence, which opens the film, sees Pugh’s Yelena Belova BASE jump off the Merdeka 118 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
“I didn’t tell people the day that it was happening. I didn't want people to be worrying because obviously, you know, I knew that we were going to be doing it as safe as possible,” Pugh said.
Florence Pugh didn't tell people when she was going to jump off the 2nd tallest building in the world for Thunderbolts* : pic.twitter.com/lIFq4B9l1i
“It’s just not helpful for people to be like well I’m not getting a message from her. Does that mean this? And I just thought that it was best for maybe people to not know the exact day that it was happening, which I’m glad about.”
Only two of Pugh’s loved ones knew the exact day she was going to jump off the Merdeka – because they were there to see it for themselves.
“I had my sister and my best friend out there with me and they were on the top of the building and they got to witness the whole thing,” Pugh recalled.
“And they were just like, ‘Yeah, I wasn’t nervous because you weren’t really nervous. Every now and then I would just catch you in the car looking at it, transfixed by it. And those were the only moments where I knew that where I obviously knew you were thinking about it.’”
Marvel’s Thunderbolts* opens in theaters May 2nd. In his Thunderbolts review, IGN’s Clint Gage called the film “the most solid the sacred timeline has felt in a little while, providing an adventure befitting its overlooked title characters.”
The newest Apple Watch has dropped down to the lowest price we've seen. Well ahead of Mother's Day, which lands on May 11 this year, you can pick up a 42mm Apple Watch Series 10 for only $299 - 25% off its $399 list price - or the bigger 46mm model for $329 - 23% off its $429 list price. If you own an iPhone, the Apple Watch is indisputably the best smartwatch for you. It's stylish, boasts excellent build quality, excels as both a fitness tracker and smartwatch, and seamlessly integrates with your iPhone.
Apple Watch Series 10 From $299
The Apple Watch Series 10 is the newest generation mainstream model (the Watch Series 11 isn't expected until September of this year). Improvements over the Apple Watch Series 9 include a bigger OLED Retina display, a new S10 processor (that isn't faster but it's thinner, which allows the watch itself to have a slimmer profile), a slightly larger base model size (42mm vs. 41mm), and some admittedly trivial features like a water depth gauge. If you do already own an Apple Watch Series 9, there's probably not enough reason here to upgrade. But if this is your first time purchasing an Apple Watch, the Series 10 is definitely the best Apple Watch for most people.
Compared to the Apple Watch SE, the Apple Watch Series 10 boasts a larger size (42mm vs. 40mm), a bigger display with Always-On functionality, a 30% more powerful processor, double the storage, more advanced fitness tracking and body monitoring sensors, double-tap gesture support, and faster charging. The Apple Watch SE is substantially more affordable at $199 currently on Amazon, but I think the upgrades are more than worth it for most people.
Can You Use an Apple Watch with Android Phones?
Although it's technically possible to use an Apple Watch with an Android phone, we wouldn't recommend it. Apple made it so that a lot of the functionality of the Apple Watch requires a smartphone with an iOS operating system. There are some workarounds to implement some of the features, but for the average person, the hassle isn't worth it. If you're absolutely intent on getting an Apple Watch, then getting an iPhone first would be the best option. For those of you quite happy with your Android smartphone, there are plenty of Android smartwatches that would be a better fit than the Apple Watch.
Other Apple products on sale
There are plenty of Apple deals going on right now. If an Apple Watch might be a bit too technical for you mom, then perhaps a pair of AirPods or an Apple iPad tablet is a better fit for her.

May has arrived, and that means it's time for another Free Comic Book Day. Every year, comic shops across the world take part in the event by giving away free books on the first Saturday of May. Many of these books serve as primers for major upcoming storylines or best-selling series, meaning it's usually worth heading out and braving the crowds to try and snag the most important comics.
2025 is no exception. From DC's DC All in 2025 Special Edition to Marvel's Fantastic Four/X-Men and The Amazing Spider-Man/Ultimate Universe books to the latest Energon Universe special, these are the books you should keep an eye out for during this year's event.
The Amazing Spider-Man/Ultimate Universe #1
Publisher: Marvel
The first of several specials from Marvel, this issue offers two original stories in one. The first from writer Joe Kelly and artist John Romita, Jr. serves as a primer of sorts to the recently relaunched Amazing Spider-Man series. The second story from writers Deniz Camp and Cody Ziglar and artist Jonas Scharf is a prologue to the upcoming Ultimate Universe crossover event, which sees Miles Morales drawn into the new Ultimate U.
Blood Type #0
Publisher: Oni Press
Oni Press is expanding its EC Comics imprint this summer with several new series, including Corinna Bechko and Andrea Sorrentino's vampire title Blood Type. If you want an early glimpse of that new series, Blood Type #0 is just the book for you. This issue reprints the short story from the anthology series Epitaphs From the Abyss that kicked off the Blood Type saga.
Conan: Scourge of the Serpent #1
Publisher: Titan
Titan Comics is developing a habit of using FCBD to debut its annual Conan crossover events. That trend holds true with Conan: Scourge of the Serpent. This issue incldues three interconnected tales that set the stage for a grand conflict between Conan and the serpent god Set.
Critical Role: The Mighty Nein Origins/Black Hammer #1
Publisher: Dark Horse
Dark Horse's FCBD special spotlights two of the publisher's biggest franchises. This issue includes one tale set in the Critical Role universe, as Beau and Caleb get a little too caught up in an evening of dinner theater fun. There's also a Black Hammer story focused on Colonel Weird, one that highlights both the past and future of the Back Hammer universe.
DC All In: 2025 Special Edition #1
Publisher: DC
Similar to last year's DC All In Special, DC is releasing a flipbook that reveals the future of both the core DC Universe and the new Absolute Universe. On one hand, this issue serves as an introduction to the upcoming Superman Unlimited series from Dan Slott and Rafael Albuquerque. On the other, it features a new Absolute Universe story from Jeff Lemire and Giuseppe Camuncoli.
Energon Universe 2025 Special #1
Publisher: Skybound
Skybound really made some waves with the surprise reveal thaat Void Rivals was actually the launching point for a new shared universe involving Transformers and G.I. Joe. All three pillars of the Energon universe are featured in this issue, which features three new short stories and a twist so big they had to censor the cover.
Fantastic Four/X-Men #1
Publisher: Marvel
Marvel is pairing the X-Men and Fantastic Four for their second big FCBD release. This issue should be on everyone's radar, if for no other reason than it features a new FF tale from Ryan North and Humberto Ramos. On the X-Men side, Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing are revisiting the fateful day Charles Xavier first assembled the All-New, All-Different X-Men and revealing the one mutant who turned him down.
Gargoyles: Demona #1
Publisher: Dynamite
Disney may not be giving Gargoyles fans the animated revival they've all been craving, but Dymanite is certainly making up for that on the comic book side. The Gargoyles line expands with this new special that sets up the Gargoyles: Demona series. Best of all, it's even written by creator Greg Weisman.
Godzilla: The New Heroes #1
Publisher: IDW
In case you missed the news, IDW is launching an entire new shared universe of Godilla comics this summer. This issue serves as a primer for that universe, with a ten-page prelude story accompanied by previews of the forthcoming ongoing Godilla books.
Power Rangers/VR Troopers #1
Publisher: BOOM! Studios
IGN recently broke the news that BOOM! Studios is debuting a VR Troopers series spinning out of the pages of the Power Rangers Prime reboot. This issue gives fans a sneak preview of the new series along with a look back at some of the VR Troopers comics of yesteryear.
This might just be the pick of the FCBD 2025 crop, purely for how weird and intriguing the premise is. Dynamite is highlighting its Thundercats and Powerpuff Girls comics, not by releasing an issue with one story geared toward each, but by combining the two into one wacky crossover. What happens when Blossom, Buttercup, and Bubbles travel to Third Earth? We're about to find out.
Let us know in the comments below what books you're excited to pick up on Free Comic Book Day 2025.
The Nintendo Switch 2 Direct finally revealed exactly what the Nintendo Switch 2 can do and what it costs. But alongside the hype came the burden of realization: Consoles are getting expensive.
Nintendo Switch 2’s price has breached into the realm of what I’d expect from handheld gaming PCs, which cost anywhere from $400 to $900. But it’s not just the hardware that’s more expensive – the games are getting more expensive too, making the affordability of the original Switch a distant dream.
Compared to the Steam Deck, which was once far more expensive than the Switch, Valve’s handheld gaming PC and the Nintendo Switch 2 are in a similar lane. So if you’re looking to get into the handheld gaming scene, which is better? Nintendo Switch 2 or Steam Deck?
Nintendo Switch 2 vs Steam Deck: Price
Price has been a hot topic for the Nintendo Switch 2. The company plans to launch the console at $449.99, which is 50% more expensive than the original $299.99 Switch. That in of itself is a drastic price leap, but there’s the added possibility of it getting even higher with the threat of tariffs on the horizon.
Pre-orders for Switch 2 were delayed from their original April 9 date in the U.S., with Nintendo telling us that it was in order to “assess the potential impact of tariffs and evolving market conditions.” The 90-day tariff pause put a temporary stop to that, with pre-orders now going live on April 24, but there’s no saying what happens when tariffs return in July. It’s hard to make definitive statements on value as a result, but let’s move forward with the prices we know.
The Steam Deck starts at $399.99 for its 256GB LCD model, barely undercutting the Switch 2. The 512GB and 1TB OLED models are $549.99 and $649.99 respectively, so it quickly gets more expensive. The price of hardware isn’t all you should consider, though. Software costs ramp up quickly, and Nintendo has taken a leap with Switch 2 by raising the ceiling in AAA game pricing. Mario Kart World, at $79.99, is the prime example, setting a new precedent for the future.
There’s no telling what Steam game prices will look like in the coming years, but as it stands now, the Deck pulls ahead of the Switch 2 with a lower starting cost and more affordable games library.
Winner: Steam Deck
Nintendo Switch 2 vs Steam Deck: Specs and Performance
According to a Nvidia blog post, Switch 2 features “10x the graphics” of its predecessor, with ray tracing compatibility, variable refresh rate via Nvidia G-Sync, and “AI-driven enhancements.”
Neither Nintendo or Nvidia have revealed the specs of the GPU, but it’s incredibly likely that it’s based on the Nvidia Tegra T39 SoC (system on a chip). This GPU is supposedly built on Ampere, the same graphics architecture behind the RTX 3080. Though, with 1,536 CUDA cores, it’s nowhere near as powerful as other Nvidia GPUs in its series. Even the RTX 3050 Mobile, which is the weakest in its line, has 2,048 CUDA cores and likely runs with a much higher power budget.
The Nvidia GPU is powering a 7.9-inch 1,920 x 1,080, 120Hz LCD touchscreen with VRR (Variable Refresh Rate). While the panel is a massive upgrade in size and resolution, it would’ve been nice if OLED came sooner than later. It has 256GB of UFS (Universal Flash Storage), with a microSD Express slot for up to an additional 2TB.
The Steam Deck is built on much older tech, though. It features an AMD Radeon APU with 8 RDNA 2 CUs, and a Zen 2 CPU with 4 cores and 8 threads. Because these two GPUs are built on different architectures by different companies, it’s incredibly hard to draw comparisons between the two. But because the Nintendo Switch 2 features hardware that the Steam Deck simply doesn’t – namely Tensor Cores to power DLSS – the Switch 2 is theoretically more powerful.
“Theoretical” is the key word here. These are different machines in operating system, power output, and display resolution. And with some form of DLSS coming to the Switch 2, I won’t know how it truly performs until it’s in my hands. For now though, Switch 2 seems likely to pull ahead.
Winner: Nintendo Switch 2
Nintendo Switch 2 vs Steam Deck: Software and Features
Steam Deck and Nintendo Switch 2 are intended for different audiences, so directly comparing features can be confusing. If you’re primarily a PC gamer with a large Steam library, or have a penchant for emulation, the Steam Deck is a fantastic option. Switch 2 is best for fans of Nintendo exclusives, or those willing to leap into a new console ecosystem. Thankfully, if you did own the original Switch, your game library is backward compatible, both digitally and physically.
Nintendo Switch 2’s most exciting new feature is that its Joy-Con function as mice. As seen in Drag x Drive, players glide the bottom of their Joy-Con against a surface to move forwards, backwards, and even turn. Mouse functionality extends beyond just games that require it, with Metroid Prime 4: Beyond featuring mouse functionality while aiming, as if playing on PC.
Steam Deck does something similar with its two trackpads, but they don’t emulate the mouse experience quite as well – if you know anything about first-person shooters, trying to play them on a trackpad is a nightmare.
While not new to the Switch 2, its detachable Joy-Con, docking station, and backstand offers handheld, tabletop, and docked modes. It’s easy to take that versatility for granted, but the Steam Deck isn’t capable of this. An official Steam Deck Docking Station does exist, but it’s sold separately, and the console does not have a backstand or detachable controllers. It’s primarily a handheld device.
I can’t talk about Switch 2’s features without bringing up GameChat, Nintendo’s solution to online communication with its own dedicated “C” button. Not only can you video chat with friends while playing games, but the console has a built-in microphone. Players can even stream their gameplay to one another. Certain games have built-in functionality for a Nintendo Switch 2 Camera peripheral, where games like Super Mario Party Jamboree can place an image of your face next to your character. However, a Nintendo Switch Online membership will be required to use GameChat after March 31, 2026.
Comparatively, Steam Deck is feature-lite. It’s a dedicated handheld machine primarily focused on playing games available on Steam. However, it gains the additional benefit of an enormous software library. Whereas Switch 2 titles will need direct ports, Steam Deck owners will have access to a wider range of games.
Switch is the champion of form-factor versatility, and the new features coming to the Switch 2 solidify that. Steam Deck pulls ahead with software diversity, but the inventiveness of the Switch 2 is impressive.
Winner: Nintendo Switch 2
The Winner Is… the Nintendo Switch 2
Is it premature to award the crown to a console that isn’t out yet? Maybe, but the Switch 2 is shaping up to be a phenomenal machine surpassing the Steam Deck in versatility of features and graphics performance. In Steam Deck’s defense, there’s no telling what a successor could be capable of, especially with the AMD Z2 Extreme APU yearning desperately for implementation.
There is one element that the current Steam Deck is ahead in: Value. Switch 2 is expensive, and its software, even moreso. If you’re concerned about game prices in the future, Steam Deck is likely your best bet.
Otherwise, Switch 2 has awesome new features like Joy-Con that can act as mice and a powerful Nvidia SoC with DLSS support. On top of everything that already made Switch fantastic, it’s shaping up to be the stronger choice.
It’s a new month (May, for those without a calendar nearby), so of course you can find a new batch of LEGO sets waiting to be exchanged for your hard-earned cash. The majority of this month’s new releases fall in the LEGO Star Wars category, in celebration of May the Fourth. But a handful of other notable sets are also coming out this month, plus a number of new preorders have gone live for sets releasing later this year. Let’s take a look.
LEGO Mario Kart Releases May 15
Most LEGO Mario sets are in the toy-like series aimed at little kids. But my very favorite are the bigger sets aimed at adults that have you build iconic imagery from the series, like the Mario & Yoshi LEGO set or LEGO Piranha Plant. This new one, featuring Mario riding a kart, is out just ahead of the Nintendo Switch 2, which is launching alongside Mario Kart World on June 5.
New LEGO Star Wars Sets Are Out
A new batch of LEGO Star Wars sets is now available in celebration of Star Wars Day, which as always, lands on May the Fourth. The headliner here is Jango Fett’s starship, but the rest of the sets are equally cool.
LEGO Avengers: Endgame Final Battle Is Now Available
The final battle of Avengers: Endgame is one of the most iconic scenes in recent cinema history. You can now re-create it with this set that’s filled with super hero minifigures ranging from Iron Man and Doctor Strange to The Scarlet Witch and Black Panther. You also get a large Thanos LEGO figure and a giant Ant-Man mech.
LEGO Botanicals: Petite Sunny Bouquet Is Now Available
LEGO flower sets have become incredibly popular in recent years. And with Mother’s Day landing on May 11, now is a great time to pick up the latest release in the LEGO Botanicals series. It’s the Petite Sunny Bouquet, and it looks like a perfect addition what with Spring settling in nicely across the northern hemisphere.
LEGO Art: Keith Haring – Dancing Figures Is Out May 15
Another entry in the LEGO sets for adults category is this one from the LEGO Art line. It’s a buildable re-creation of pop artist Keith Haring’s iconic dancing figures. This set comes with five instruction booklets (one for each figure), so you can build them with friends or family members if you want. Once complete, the figures can be displayed by hanging them on your wall, or you can use the included stands to set them on a shelf or desk.
LEGO Formula 1 Race Cars Are Now Available
Also out this month is a fun new addition to LEGO car sets. But these aren't your standard car sets. These are tiny F1 collectible race cars. There are 12 cars to collect, but they come in mystery boxes, so you won’t know which one you got until you open it. There’s also a display podium if you manage to collect them all.
New LEGO Sets Up for Preorder
In addition to this month’s new releases, a handful of upcoming LEGO sets have gone up for preorder lately as well. It’s unclear why the good people at LEGO didn’t release the Andor K-2SO Security Droid set this month, seeing it’s May the Fourth and Andor is in the process of airing on Disney+, but you’ll have to wait until August to piece that one together. The Sherlock Holmes Book Nooks is absolutely delightful, as it's a detailed take on Baker Street, but you can also fold it up and put between books on your bookshelf.
The Iron Spider-Man bust and Fortnite Mecha Team Leader are cool too, as are the two new LEGO Technic car sets. And for anyone looking to add some class to their abode or workplace, the new LEGO Bontanicals bonsai tree set is great as well.

LEGO enthusiasts, here's a massive Star Wars set to add your collection at its lowest price ever. Starting now and running through "May the 4th" or Star Wars Day, the Lego Shop is offering the massive LEGO Star Wars The Razor Crest 75331 Ultimate Collector Series Set for just $479.99 with free shipping after a 20% off instant discount (it's normally $600). You'll need to sign up for a (free) LEGO Insiders membership to get this discount.
20% Off LEGO Star Wars The Razor Crest (Ulimate Collector Series)
The Razor Crest 75331 consists of 6,187 pieces, which makes it the third largest Star Wars set in brick count. The resulting build is impressively large at 20" long, 29" wide, and 10" high. This is an offical Ultimate Collector Series - or UCS - set. The UCS models are the largest and most detailed Star Wars sets that LEGO produces and an obvious pick for collectors. They are also technically challenging build that are aimed at adult (18+) builders and the instruction manuals are often hundreds of pages long; the Razor Crest is no exception with about 250 pages.
This is a faithful recreation of the iconic ship from The Mandalorian TV series. The detailed interior is easily accessible and features two removable engines and cockpit, two side hatches, a cargo compartment with space for the included Blurrg minifigure, a weapons cabinet, a LEGO minifigure sized carbon-freezing chamber, and detachable escape pod with space for another minifig. Five minifigs are included: the Mandalorian (set exclusive), Mythrol, Kuiil, Grogu in a pram, and a Blurrg.
Although this is a complex build, the interior is made of different color-coded interior components and different steps are individually packaged in bags to make the process more user friendly. Although the Razor Crest is fully intended to be more of a display piece, it's more interactive than most other UCS sets with a lot of internal elements that you can explore even after the build is completed. If you're a LEGO Star Wars collector, this is a must-buy.
Star Wars Day lands on Sunday, May 4
May the 4th promises many more Star Wars related deals, and several online stores have already announced that some of their Star Wars paraphernalia will be on discount on that day. These retailers include Amazon, Target, Walmart, Sideshow, Dark Horse, and many more.

Scopely has partnered with Disney for a Star Wars collaboration that brings characters and locations from across The Skywalker Saga and The Mandalorian to Monopoly Go!.
The two media giants detailed their crossover event further with a trailer this morning, explaining that Monopoly Go! players can unlock and enjoy Star Wars content for the next two months starting today. Scopely says the event is “rooted in a deep and compelling narrative” that follows local robot Peg-E after she visits Mr. Monopoly’s movie theater.
“Captivated by the cinematic magic of Star Wars, her daydreams take flight, reimagining the MONOPOLY GO! universe within the Star Wars galaxy,” an official description says. “In the ensuing adventure, players will be transported into timeless tales of good and evil, Jedi and Sith, and the light and dark side — kickstarting a series of action-packed in-game events, collectibles and surprises.”
With the Monopoly Go! Star Wars crossover comes a limited-time 22-sticker album that ties to the Star Wars universe. May the 4th, specifically, will see players gifted an exclusive token, with a variety of other themed additions available to nab throughout the duration of the collaboration. You can see a list of highlights included, as outlined by Scopely, below.
Monopoly Go! x Star Wars Crossover Event
‘Pod’ and ‘Rebel’ Racers: Race iconic Star Wars vehicles through the Mos Espa Grand Arena and the frozen wasteland of Hoth in a twist on MONOPOLY GO!’s high-stakes multiplayer event, Tycoon Racers.
‘Star Wars’, ‘Jedi’ and ‘Hyperspace’ Partners Events: Team up with friends to construct larger-than-life Star Wars-themed statues of iconic characters and starships from the Star Wars galaxy, and reap fantastic rewards together.
‘Tatooine’, ‘Jawa’ and ‘Tusken’ Treasures: Journey to the Outer Rim planet Tatooine in three special dig-themed events, uncovering relics and treasures inspired by the Star Wars canon.
Exclusive Collectibles: Collect themed tokens, emojis, signature dice, and shields by completing sticker albums and event challenges, bringing galactic flair to the MONOPOLY GO! experience.
The launch of the Monopoly Go! and Star Wars crossover follows its official reveal as the latest Scopely collaboration last month. Its full debut today gives players until July 2 to enjoy what it has to offer. For more, you can read up on how Scopely made headlines in March when it confirmed it would purchase Pokémon Go-maker Niantic Inc. for $3.5 billion.

The Nintendo Switch 2 is approaching, and for at least some of its launch catalog, companies are opting for Game-Key Cards rather than fully on-cart physical games. This has understandably not been thrilling for people trying to collect physical game collections, and that includes those trying to preserve games in the long-term.
Switch 2 Game-Key Cards are physical cards that only contain a key to download your chosen game. That means there’s no actual game data on the card you insert into your Switch 2, so you’ll need to download it once the card is inserted. Every Game-Key Card case is appropriately labeled on the lower portion of the front of the box, so if you’re concerned about what exactly you’re purchasing, you should have a heads-up right away.
In a feature over on GamesIndustry.biz, the outlet spoke with several games preservationists about Nintendo's Game-Key Cards, and what a digital, download-focused approach does for their work. Nightdive Studios CEO Stephen Kick addressed the issue fairly head-on.
"Seeing Nintendo do this is a little disheartening," said Kick. "You would hope that a company that big, that has such a storied history, would take preservation a little more seriously."
As pointed out later in the piece by John-Paul Dyson, director of the International Center for the History of Electronic Games at The Strong Museum, some games are difficult to document due to the volatility of online distribution. He highlighted mobile games as one particular challenge, as their versions change with time. The Strong Museum's solution, it sounds like, is to preserve several versions of a game throughout its lifetime.
Storing and accessing games also becomes an issue, as does any DRM checks on the software. Moving everything onto digital downloads could have an impact on archiving, regardless of whether physical or digital is more popular for sales.
On the upside, as was pointed out by GI.biz's piece, companies like Square Enix, Capcom, Sega, and Taito have committed to archiving past development materials. Even the scope of what should be saved is unclear though. Should it just be the game, or should there be presentations, notes, and everything else involved, to preserve as much history as possible?
Game-Key Cards have already drawn some controversy over the continued move towards digital versus physical collections. It's interesting to hear how these affect not just our buying options now, though, but the people trying to ensure we keep our current era preserved for future generations.
I've put way too many hours into Stardew Valley building my own cozy little farm. And although taking care of a farm is its own full-time job, I always try to find time to make every character's favorite foods. The recipes in Stardew Valley can be pretty simple but the final pixelated result always looks appetizing to me. I've definitely imagined what each dish tastes like as I whip it up in the game, but I never really thought about making the recipes in real life until I came across the Stardew Valley cookbook.
The official cookbook for the game was written in collaboration with the game's creator ConcernedApe (Eric Barone). As someone who loves Stardew Valley and cooking, I've put this video game cookbook at the top of my gift wishlist for 2025.
The Official Stardew Valley Cookbook - On Sale Now
The Official Stardew Valley Cookbook came out back in May 2024, so it's been almost an entire year of me not knowing it existed. Thanks to all of that time, however, it is currently down to its lowest price ever on Amazon. At just under $20, it's one of the cheapest gifts you could get for Stardew fan (other than the actual game).
The cookbook itself contains 50 recipes that are based on the actual in-game meals. Similar to the game, it's ordered by season so you can follow along and make each recipe when the ingredients are most likely to be at their freshest. Included are a ton of original illustrations as well as recipes written in the voice of various characters from the game. You can check out a quick preview of what to expect in the slideshow below.
See more video game cookbooks
Altough the Stardew Valley cookbook is my favorite one of these, there are actually quite a few other video game cookbooks you can buy right now. There are options from Elder Scrolls, The Witcher, Fallout, and even Minecraft. You can preorder cookbooks made for Pac-Man (sure, why not) and Borderlands, both of which are coming out in 2025. This is a whole genre that is absolutely thriving.
Despite several ongoing Spider-Man movie franchises, the Spider-Verse movies still managed to take the world by storm. They're perhaps best known for the animation itself, which features a mix of art styles and hand-crafted visual textures. The Spider-Verse movies also feature solid writing, particularly surrounding Miles and his family, as well as great soundtracks. Across the Spider-Verse in particular is a movie I can pretty much watch on a loop without getting bored.
The only bad thing I have to say about these movies? They’ve been a pain in the butt to find on streaming. As someone who canceled my Netflix subscription for the new Disney+ and Hulu bundle, I ended up getting both of these movies on Blu-ray. Well, turns out I could have just waited a little longer.
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse left Netflix on April 26, and starting today, May 1, it has a new streaming home on Disney+.
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse Now Streaming on Disney+
The Spider-Man movie's transition to the Disney-owned streaming service doesn't come as a surprise. Sony movies make their way to Netflix for 18 months after their initial run in theaters, known as a Pay-1 window, before moving to Disney+ for the Pay-2 window. As reported by Variety, the deal covers theatrical releases from 2022-2026. As far as we know, Across the Spider-Verse should be sticking around on Disney+ for the foreseeable future.
The first Spider-Verse movie released before Sony’s deal with Netflix and Disney, so Into the Spider-Verse is still tied to a cable licensing agreement. You can find the movie on live TV subscriptions like Hulu + Live TV, or otherwise through digital marketplaces like Prime Video. There’s also the physical release, seen below.
What Else Is Coming to Disney+ in May?
Star Wars Day is around the corner, and the home of all things Star Wars is naturally part of the celebrations. Andor will be wrapping up Season 2 this month, while all six episodes of Star Wars: Tales of the Underworld Season 1 drop on May 4. Disney+ will also get “walkthroughs” of the Galaxy’s Edge and Rise of the Resistance attractions from the Disneyland Resorts, continuing to consolidate the Disney brand.
Update 3:20pm ET: These consoles at yesterday's prices are selling out. The standard Xbox Series X is currently not available from any major retailer for yesterday's price. If you want any of the Xboxes that haven't had their price hikes yet, I'd click that buy button sooner than later.
Microsoft has announced a price hike for Xbox consoles, controllers, and eventually games. The recommended retail price on hardware goes into effect immediately, while the $79.99 price on new first-party games is set to hit this holiday season. That means if you’ve been thinking of picking up a new Xbox Series X|S or controller, you’ll want to do it sooner than later. The new, higher prices are already live from Xbox’s official store. However, you can still get the old prices at some retailers – at least for now.
Xbox Series X
Xbox Series X 1TB Digital Edition - $449 (Going Up to $549 Soon)
Note: the Xbox Series X is currently out of stock everywhere it had been available for $499 earlier. You can buy one for the new MSRP of $599 at Microsoft and Walmart (albeit from a third-party seller in Walmart's case).
The Xbox Series X is the flagship Xbox, with enough power to run games at 4K resolution. It’s a beast, and I love mine even more than my PS5. I also like being able to buy and play physical games, so I have the standard model listed up top above. But if you can live with going all-digital in terms of games, you can grab the digital edition instead and save $50.
Xbox Series S
Xbox Series S 512GB - $299 (Going Up to $379 Soon)
For those who don’t mind embracing an all-digital gaming future, the Series S may be the one to get. However, it does have a big drawback in terms of raw power. The Series S is designed to run games at 1440p resolution instead of 4K. If that works for you, this is a terrific console to get. It comes in 512GB or 1TB models. Personally, I’d get the 1TB model, because games take up a ton of space these days, and Xbox storage is expensive.
Xbox Wireless Controllers
Some Xbox controllers are also getting a bump in price. There are a lot of different kinds of Xbox controllers, and they’re not all getting the same price hike. In fact, some aren’t getting a price hike at all. And pricing on these has been more fluid than Xbox consoles, so the price hike probably won’t be as visible here than it is on the consoles above. That said, here are the price changes on Xbox controllers going forward:
Xbox Wireless Controller (Core) - $64.99
Xbox Wireless Controller (Color) - $69.99
Xbox Wireless Controller - Special Edition - $79.99
Xbox Wireless Controller - Limited Edition - $89.99 (up from $79.99)
Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 (Core) - $149.99 (up from $139.99)
Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 (Full) - $199.99 (up from $179.99)

In celebration of its 50th anniversary this year, Steven Spielberg's Jaws is getting a fancy 4K steelbook that's full of exciting bonus features for fans to dig into. The steelbook is currently available to preorder at Amazon and Walmart with a release date of June 17. The former currently has it listed at $34.99 while the latter is down to $29.96, but these prices could shift as we get closer to the release date. If you're not interested in the steelbook, there's also a standard 4K 50th Anniversary Edition (see here at Amazon for $29.98) releasing on the same day.
Below we've broken down where you can purchase each version of the Jaws 50th Anniversary Edition release, alongside what bonus features come packaged inside.
The Jaws 50th Anniversary 4K steelbook features excellent artwork that highlights the film's characters, some iconic Amity Island landmarks, The Orca boat, and of course, the shark at the center. This edition comes with a 4K, Blu-ray, and digital copy of the film alongside a sweet selection of bonus features which we've detailed further down.
The main difference between this steelbook edition and the standard edition is, of course the steelbook, which folds out and has some cool art that's pulled right from the movie itself. The slipcase art is a little more dynamic than the standard one as well (though the standard edition art is awesome in a classic way in its own right).
Preorder Jaws 50th Anniversary Edition 4K
If you'd prefer the non-steelbook Jaws 50th Anniversary Edition 4K, this features the classic cover design and all of the same bonus features that come with the steelbook.
Jaws 50th Anniversary Edition Bonus Features
There's a treasure trove of bonus features available with the Jaws 50th Anniversary 4K release, including an all-new documentary called Jaws @ 50: The Definitive Inside Story. Here's everything you'll get to sink your teeth into, per the press release:

IGN can exclusively reveal that Revival, a TV series adaptation of the Image Comics title of the same name, will premiere Thursday, June 12 at 10 p.m. on SYFY. Episodes will then be available on Peacock one week after they air.
You can watch the brand new trailer for Revival via the player above or the embed below. We also have the new poster for the show below.
Based on the bestselling Image Comics series from Tim Seeley and Mike Norton, Revival stars Melanie Scrofano, Romy Weltman, David James Elliott, and Andy McQueen.
The series’ recurring guest stars include Steven Ogg, CM Punk, Gia Sandhu, Katherine King So, Maia Jae Bastidas, Nathan Dales, Mark Little, Glen Gould, Lara Jean Chorostecki, and Conrad Coates.
“On one miraculous day in rural Wisconsin, the recently deceased suddenly rise from their graves. But this is no zombie story as the ‘revived’ appear and act just like they once were,” according to the official plot synopsis.
“When local Officer and single mother Dana Cypress is unexpectedly thrown into the center of a brutal murder mystery of her own, she’s left to make sense of the chaos amidst a town gripped by fear and confusion where everyone, alive or undead, is a suspect.”
Series creators Aaron B. Koontz and Luke Boyce serve as showrunners and executive producers. Lance Samuels, Daniel Iron, Samantha Levine, Neil Tabatznik, Daniel March, Melanie Scrofano, Greg Hemmings, Stephen Foster & Amanda Row also serve as executive producers.
Revival is produced by Blue Ice Pictures and Hemmings Films.
Helldivers 2 is gearing up for some news, and developer Arrowhead Game Studios seems confident it will impress. Or, as Arrowhead's CEO is framing it, you might want to prepare yourself.
As spotted by VideoGamer, Arrowhead CEO Shams Jorjani was discussing Helldivers 2 in the game's Discord when a user asked him if he could "offer up anything, however small, of what's coming down the pipe." His response?
"You'll shit your pants."
While not specific about what's in store, it does at least give us an idea of the impact of what's in store. And the possible consequences to our britches, too.
Jorjani took a few other questions, with some notable mentions of wanting to add more bladed weapons and some thoughtful responses to worries about content droughts. There's some open transparency about the technical debt of something like Helldivers 2, and how the team handles it over time, that's really cool to see alongside funny quotes about distressing your jeans.
There's already been some tease about what's to come, involving a flag with both a pointy end and a grippy section. Currently, Arrowhead said it is aiming for May 8 to announce its next Warbond, and there will be "more exciting news to come not long after."
In a recent interview with IGN, Arrowhead's production director Alex Bolle said the studio wants to be around for "years and years and years to come," and that it's continuing to work on developing Helldivers 2 while staying true to what the team wants to do.
"The more we figure out how to thrive in a live environment, and we still have a way to go to figure out a lot of things around that, the more we can let creativity loose on new systems that we would've never thought about a year ago when we released," Bolle told IGN. "I've worked on live games before and it's where you feel like you have something you can figure out: what if I would do this cool thing I've seen in other games and adapt it to our sauce, that still makes it true to ourselves? I'm looking forward to this moment."
We'll start to find out what cool things Arrowhead has in store for Helldivers 2 next week. You might want to bring some extra pants.

How to Redeem Infinity Nikki Codes
To redeem Infinity Nikki codes, follow the steps below:
Unlock your Pear-Pal during the Chapter 1: Wishes Without Wings - Land of Wishes main quest. It's about 20 minutes into your Infinity Nikki adventure.
Open the Pear-Pal menu by pressing ESC on PC (or the Menu button when using an Xbox controller on PC), the Menu button on PlayStation, or by tapping the Pear-Pal icon in the top-left corner on mobile.
Click on the gear icon to open the Settings menu.
Scroll over to the Other tab.
You’ll see a “Redeem Code” option here. Click on “Apply” and a Redeem Rewards pop-up menu will appear.
Input your code into the “Enter the redeem code” field and tap “Apply.”
If successful, a pop-up will appear showing your free rewards.
Why Isn't My Infinity Nikki Code Working?
If the Infinity Nikki code that you're trying to redeem isn't working, it's likely due to one of the following reasons:
There's a typo in the code.
The Infinity Nikki code is expired.
When inputting a code into Infinity Nikki, make sure there are no typos (Os instead of zeroes, capital Is instead of lowercase Ls, etc.) and that there are no accidental spaces before or after the code. If your Infinity Nikki code still doesn't work, it's probably expired and can no longer be redeemed. You'll get a message informing you that the code is wrong if it's expired.
How to Get More Infinity Nikki Codes
The best way to get more Infinity Nikki codes is to join the official Infinity Nikki Discord server. Once you're in, head to the #self-assign-roles channel and opt-in for the Redeem Code role. You'll receive a notification when a new code is released so you can receive your free rewards ASAP!

Developed by Infold Games, Infinity Nikki is a cozy, open-world RPG. You play as Nikki, as she's whisked away to the world of Miraland, a place where people make Wishes with the help of Stylists. You'll find and create a plethora of outfits and accessories, take on quests, and gather many types of collectibles with the help of Momo, Nikki's adorable feline companion. As you play, you earn Diamonds, which can be spent on Revelation and Resonite Crystals, which are used to pull on the limited time and permanent outfit banners for 5-star and 4-star clothing.
Meg Koepp is a Guides Editor on the IGN Guides team, with a focus on trends. When she's not working, you can find her playing an RPG or spending time with her corgi.
