For most PC gamers, buying a prebuilt gaming rig is far more attractive than it used to be. Years ago it was inarguably cheaper to build your own gaming PC than to buy a boutique gaming rig. That's not the case anymore. It's not uncommon for major brands like Alienware, HP, and Lenovo to offer quality pre-built PCs for cheaper than the cost of building your own PC with the exact same specs.

We've compiled a list of the best current gaming PC deals, both from the manufacturers themselves like Dell (Alienware), HP, and Lenovo, as well as from reliable 3rd party retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart. This includes an excellent deal on an Alienware Aurora R16 Intel Core Ultra 7 265F RTX 5070 Ti Gaming PC (32GB/1TB) for $1,899.99. These PCs are significantly discounted from their normal retail price and are going to be less expensive than comparable models from other brands. With Amazon Prime Day on the horizon as well, we'll be keeping an eye on more gaming PC deals as they appear.

The Best Gaming PC Deals

More Dell and Alienware Gaming PC Deals

If you're in the market for a prebuilt gaming PC, Dell is one of the brands we'd recommend. The company's Alienware gaming desktops offer a staggering array of options, all built into a custom chassis that's both easy on the eyes and easy on the wallet. Consistent build quality, available inventory, frequent sales, and solid customer service are the main reasons why Dell is at the top of our buying list.

More HP Gaming PC Deals

Of the big three OEM PC manufacturers, HP usually offers the lowest price on equivalently configured items. HP carries several different models of gaming PCs depending on how much power you need. At the upper end of the scale, the HP OMEN 45L offers a massive tower chassis with space for up to a 360mm all-in-one liquid cooler as well as a total of four additional 120mm case fans for ventilation. On the other end of the scale, the HP Victus, Envy, and OMEN 25L gaming PCs feature understated aesthetics and a bargain price point. These PCs can still be configured into formidable gaming rigs.

More Lenovo Gaming PC Deals

Lenovo Legion gaming PCs may be the priciest of the big three OEM manufacturers, but they are also generally the highest praised among gamers and reviewers alike. The Legion gaming PCs are highly rated for their build quality. People like the fact that Lenovo does not use proprietary components in their rigs, so they're much easier to upgrade with easily obtainable, off-the-shelf components compared to some other popular prebuilt PC brands. Lenovo gaming rigs generally also utilize solid cooling, especially for the CPU, even if you opt for the base models.

Spider-Man: The Animated Series fans, rejoice: there’s a new comic book, Spider-Man '94, on the way that will finally expand upon the animated series’ major cliffhanger — but the show's original writer John Semper Jr. actually wasn’t asked to write the comic or be involved in any way.

“I got a text message this morning from my good friend, Matt Dunford, telling me that Marvel is ‘continuing’ my Spider-Man animated series in comic book form in a four-issue limited series called Spider-Man ’94," Semper explained to fans via X / Twitter on June 18.

He continued: "Since I will no doubt be asked about it by fans of the series: NO, I am NOT involved with this comic book and no one at Marvel approached me to be involved in any way. Matt’s text message was the first I heard of it."

Semper helmed the animated series, which ran from 1994 to 1998. It was here where the now mainstream and very much beloved “Spider-Verse” storyline originated, when — spoiler alert for the show’s finale — Madame Web transports Spider-Man into a new dimension to find the real Mary Jane after Green Goblin caused her to disappear through a portal. The cliffhanger is now a well-known element of the series, but for some reason, the folks behind the story still didn’t ask Semper to return.

That said, Semper did praise the comic’s writer, J.M. DeMatteis, in his post.

So, about that new SPIDER-MAN '94 comic book... pic.twitter.com/7yTN9h06vC

— John Semper Jr. (@johnsemper) June 18, 2025

“[DeMatteis’] amazing body of work over the years in both animation and comic books speaks for itself, and I’m positive this new comic is in great hands,” Semper continued. “Where he now chooses to take the series story-wise is entirely his decision. But, for the record, they are NOT my creative choices, nor do they represent any oversight by me.”

He added: “Yes, it would have been nice (some might even say, respectful) if Marvel had reached out to me at some point as a courtesy. But I have long ago abandoned all expectation that Marvel would acknowledge any of my contributions to the Marvel universe – like, for instance, my creation of what is now known as the ‘Spider-Verse.'”

The Spider-Verse referenced here includes successful animated Spider-Man films such as 2018’s Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, 2023’s Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, and the upcoming Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse, which is set to arrive in 2027.

“I wish them well and encourage us all to celebrate with good cheer this 30th anniversary year of SPIDER-MAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES,” Semper concluded in his post, but not before adding that he’ll be “launching my own celebration of my series in the very near future” via his socials.

Spider-Man ‘94 #1 is set to be released on September 3, 2025.

Yesterday, the new patch 1.01.3 went live for Elden Ring Nightreign. It was a seemingly small patch, centered on bugs and quality-of-life tune-ups. It seemed like most players saw it and went about their day. But then, gradually, some started to notice a new option in their Expeditions menu.

A new Gaping Jaw undertaking, dubbed the "Everdark Sovereign," was appearing on the Expeditions menu. Soon it became clear that FromSoftware had delivered on its promise to add enhanced bosses to Elden Ring Nightreign this month, and it did so without warning, letting players potentially stumble into the new venture. Watching the community piece this together, in the late hours of the night, was truly fantastic.

As confirmed this morning on Bandai Namco's site, enhanced versions of current Nightlords—duibbed Everdark Sovereigns—will start appearing in Elden Ring Nightreign over the coming weeks. Each week, a new Sovereign will arrive in Limveld, with Gaping Jaw as the current Sovereign and both Sentient Pest and Darkdrift Knight due to get new, more challenging versions as well.

Everdark Sovereigns are only available while online, and each Sovereign will hang around for a week, then leave and get replaced by another one. You have to have beaten the base, original form of the Nightlord to challenge its Everdark Sovereign form.

Early reports from players indicate that this souped-up Gaping Jaw is, truly, enhanced. Videos of the fights show the empowered Adel zipping aruond the field, creating massive storms, and generally wiping the floor with entire trios of players in short order.

While you can tackle the Everdark Sovereign solo, or with friends and/or strangers, it seems like the new fight is truly adding some challenge, even for those who have been putting a lot of hours into Elden Ring Nightreign. To me, it's reminiscent of Monster Hunter's upgraded fights that get added post-launch, like Tempered versions of monsters, that seem meant to add extra challenge as players' knowledge and power rises exponentially over time.

What's the reward for felling an Everdark Sovereign? Well, a brand-new shop located in the hub area will let you spend all the Sovereign Sigils you'll earn from a clear, and even this shop is a pretty exciting update. Alongside offering special Relics and other items, the Sigils allow playes to change the Roundtable Hold's lighting, acquire the currently available skins, and set shifting earth statuses. The latter has been a major request from the community, and it's great to see it addressed.

So while the patch notes for 1.01.3 were fairly unassuming at first, players now seem to feel like this is a huge update. The roll-out of enhanced bosses has already brought some new life and challenge back to Nightreign, and the promise of more to come is enticing, as are the new short-term pursuits to chase after.

Bandai Namco is also teasing this as the start of something: "This is only the beginning of the Everdark Sovereign cycle. As the power of the Night ebbs and wanes, the Sovereigns will soon return to the abyss they came from." We already know Elden Ring Nightreign is due to get full updates down the road, so if this is an early indication of what we can expect, the long-term prospects for FromSoft's new co-op survival action game seem good.

We’ve got plenty of Nightreign tips and tricks to help you take down all the eight Nightlord Bosses, and if you’re wondering how to unlock the two locked Nightfarer Classes, check out How to Unlock the Revenant and How to Unlock the Duchess, plus How to Change Characters.

KPop Demon Hunters streams on Netflix beginning Friday, June 20.

It may seem strange for Sony Pictures Animation to follow the meteoric success of 2023’s Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse with a movie about South Korean pop idols who moonlight as slayers of supernatural evil. But look at it this way: The Spider-Verse series and the wide-ranging, megapopular musical style known as k-pop are two of the most beloved, powerful, and influential cultural forces of the past 10 years. Why wouldn’t these two great tastes taste great together?

Enter KPop Demon Hunters, the new animated action musical from first-time director Maggie Kang and co-director and writer Chris Appelhans that taps into k-pop’s idiosyncratic sound and quirks to craft a story about strength through adversity and the power inherent in living one’s truth. It isn’t just a worthy, frequently hilarious follow-up to SPA’s Oscar-nominated masterpiece. It’s a relentless celebration of both the music that inspired it and the medium of animation itself.

KPop Demon Hunters centers on Huntrix, a Korean pop trio made up of laser-focused lead vocalist Rumi (Arden Cho), aloof lead dancer and choreographer Mira (May Hong), and bubbly lyricist/resident rapper Zoey (Jin-Young Yoo). While they’ve built a following with their music, the group are in fact a cohort of demon hunters tasked with safeguarding the world from the ravenous soul-sucking hordes of the demon king Gwi-Ma (Squid Game’s Lee Byung-hun), who is hellbent on feasting on humanity and asserting his dominion over the Earth. If that premise sounds a bit like “Sailor Moon à la Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” or “The Powerpuff Girls meets Power Rangers,” well, you're not too far off the mark: The film is as much about inheriting the generational mantle of defending humanity from otherworldly threats as it is about balancing that colossal responsibility along with the challenge of everyday life.

Beyond these reference points, KPop Demon Hunters asserts its own identity with ample drama, comedy, and personality, plus a bevy of catchy bop-worthy tracks – with Huntrix’s vocals provided by the trio of EJAE, Audrey Nuna, and Rei Ami – and electrifying action that kept me locked to my screen and eager for more. On the eve of their greatest victory, the legions of Gwi-Ma present Huntrix with their most formidable foes yet: A demon boy band group led by Jinu (Ahn Hyo-seop, with singing by Andrew Choi), a human-turned-demon with a mysterious past. To defeat them, Huntrix will not only have to battle their demonic counterparts both on- and off-stage, but confront their own long-buried secrets and insecurities in order to band together and banish Gwi-Ma once and for all. Metaphysical silliness aside, it makes for a pretty moving watch.

KPop Demon Hunters is yet another link in a chain that began with 2018’s Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, bearing the inventive blend of animation styles, textures, and tones that carried over into spiritual successors like Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, The Bad Guys, and The Mitchells vs. the Machines. Impressive as they are, none of those films manage to match Spider-Verse’s peerless synthesis of visual ingenuity, tender storytelling, and infectious music quite like Kang, Appelhans, and team have here. The fight sequences, with their flashy choreography and anime-inflected verve, lean heavily on musical numbers featuring originals songs penned by a who’s who list of popular Western artists and Kpop mainstays like Jeongyeon, Jihyo, and Chaeyoung of Twice, who wrote and performed the soundtrack’s braggadocious lead single “Takedown.” For all its echoes of Miles Morales’ adventures across realities, KPop Demon Hunters also feels like what would happen if Riot Games and Fortiche went all-in after the conclusion of Arcane and made an animated feature together: a visually sumptuous action fantasy with the kind of heartfelt chest belters that are sure to make ardent converts of fans of animated musicals like Frozen, Moana, Encanto and the like.

That’s to say nothing of KPop Demon Hunter’s comedic chops, nor its dramatic depth. It’s gratifying to watch Rumi, Mira, and Zoey’s journey toward accepting the parts of themselves they’d rather hide from the rest of the world; the same can be said of them hanging out together, making exaggerated stank faces, and thirsting after their demonic counterpart’s ab muscles – despite the fact that they’re, you know, demons. KPop Demon Hunters knows how to tackle serious subject matter without taking itself too seriously which, along with its stunning production value and exciting action sequences, makes for a wholly entertaining experience.

Following the recent announcement of the next Amazon Prime Day sale from July 8-11, a solid selection of early Prime Day deals has soon followed, including a big selection from the retailer’s usual range of own-made tech products.

For gamers subscribed to Amazon Prime, the official Luna Wireless Controller is 43% off at $39.99 from $69.99. This is great if you feel like trying the Luna gaming service, since the controller connects directly through Wi-Fi, promising low latency no matter what device you're streaming games through.

For those wanting to beef up their home security, Amazon has especially honed its Blink and Ring security camera bundles. The savings can be pretty huge depending on what you’re after.

As an example, the Ring Battery Doorbell with Ring Chime bundle is 52% off, now $64.99 instead of $134.98. So, you get front-door security with real-time notifications in your house, without needing to be near your phone, at $69.99 off.

One of the Blink bundles, including the Blink Outdoor 4 & Blink Mini 2 cameras, is now available from $64.98 after having up to 60% taken off each set, depending on how many Blink Outdoor cameras you’d like.

For your gaming and entertainment set-ups, Amazon has knocked some good amounts off some of its Fire TVs too. The 50” 4-Series 4K Amazon Fire TV is now only $279.99, following a 38% price cut from $499.99.

If it’s a QLED you’ve been on the lookout for, you can now buy the 55" 4K Omni QLED Amazon Fire TV for $364.99 at 27% off from $499.99. However, if all you need is an extra HD TV in your household, the 40" 2-Series HD Smart TV can be grabbed for a mere $169.99 with 32% cut off its original RRP of $249.99.

A noticeable omission from these early deals is Amazon’s set of Kindles and Fire Sticks. It’s a bit odd, since both ranges are almost always included in most of Amazon’s sales from the get-go, but it’s most likely that the retailer is saving offers on those until either later this month or for the big sale in July.

Want codes for Grow a Garden? Well, a code redemption system is finally here! It was added to the popular gardening experience as part of the Lunar Glow event. This big change means it's likely there will be codes released in the future, so IGN will now keep you covered as and when new codes are released!

Working Grow a Garden Codes (June 2025)

I'm sorry to say that even with the new Bizzier Bees update, there still currently no active Grow a Garden codes! As soon as new ones are announced, we'll update this article to include the new ones. For now, check out all there is to do in the new Bizzier Bees and Friendship Update.

Expired Grow a Garden Codes (June 2025)

Unfortunately, these codes have now expired:

• LUNARGLOW10 - This gave players 3x Seed Packs.

How to Redeem Grow a Garden Codes

Now that there's a code redemption system in the Roblox experience, here are the steps you need to follow to use Grow a Garden codes:

1. Launch the Grow a Garden Roblox experience
2. Look in the top left corner to find the Settings cog next to the icon of the backpack
3. Click settings and scroll down to the bottom
4. Copy and paste codes from this article into the Redeem Codes box
5. Press claim and enjoy your goodies!

Why Isn't My Grow a Garden Code Working?

There are usually two reasons why a code isn't working. It's either because:

• The code is expired
• The code has been entered incorrectly

If a code has been entered incorrectly or is expired, it will say the "code is invalid." To stop this from happening, we'd recommend copying and pasting the code directly from this article. We check and test each of the codes before we add them to our articles. However, when copying them, you can sometimes accidentally include an extra space somewhere, so always double check there's no additional spaces!

Where to Find More Grow a Garden Codes

If new codes are added to the game, we'll update this article, so you can always check back here and keep up-to-date with the latest codes. Grow a Garden has its own dedicated Discord server where codes will be announced, as well as game updates.

What is Grow a Garden in Roblox?

Grow a Garden is a new Roblox experience that's become incredibly popular since it launched. The gardening simulator allows players to show off their green fingers, as you buy seeds and plant a variety of crops from basic carrots to exotic dragon fruit trees.

As fruit and vegetables finally sprout, you'll be able to harvest them to sell for Sheckles. To go from a beginner gardener to a pro worthy of awards, you'll want your crops to experience mutations that increase their value. This can happen randomly, with Gold and Big mutations being down to chance, while weather events like snow can increase your luck of a Frozen mutation. There's also gear, and even pets now, that can affect how fast your crops grow, their value, and more.

When is the Summer Update in Grow a Garden?

Grow a Garden hosts new events each weekend, where players can come together and try out the fresh content for the ever-expanding game. The next update is planned for Saturday June 21st, 2025 and is being called the Summer Season update. We're being promised the biggest update yet, with a Summer Harvest event taking place. While we don't know much yet, we can guess that there will be new seeds, new pets, even more craftable items, and maybe even some special summer weather!

Fan-favorite rhythm game Beat Saber is ending support for PlayStation consoles.

From here on in, you shouldn't expect any further updates or music packs if you play on PS4 or PS5, and from January 21, 2026, multiplayer support will also be withdrawn.

"As we look to the future and plan the next big leap for Beat Saber, we have made the decision to no longer release updates for PS4 and PS5 starting in June 2025," the developer explained in a new FAQ entitled "End of Support for PS4/PS5" (thanks, Eurogamer).

"Our passion for VR remains unwavering. We are excited about the possibilities that lie ahead and what we can bring to Beat Saber fans who have been on this journey with us over the past [seven] years."

The update stressed that you will still be able to play Beat Saber and have access to all of your previously purchased content, and cross-buy "remains active" between the PS4 and PS5 base game. You can also still buy songs and music packs that were released on or before June 18 — just nothing added to the catalog from today (June 19) onwards.

"We're grateful for the incredible support you've shown us over the years, and we're excited to share what the future holds for Beat Saber," the update concluded.

For many players, this feels very much like the final nail in the coffin for PlayStation's VR aspirations, as Beat Saber is still one of PlayStation's biggest VR titles. Fans seem split between laying the blame with Sony and the lack of support its given to its VR headset, and Meta "wanting their game to be the best on Quest."

"Absolutely baffling decision," said one player on the subreddit. "Beat Saber still regularly tops the sales charts on PSVR1 and 2, I think dropping support for PSVR1 is understandable but not supporting PSVR2 feels like an absolutely insane move given how popular the game is on that platform."

"This is a massively stupid f***ing decision," added another. "I can't overstate how mad I am about this."

Despite its impressive technical specs, the PSVR2 seemingly lost momentum following its release in 2023. In June last year, Android Central reported that Sony made "deep cuts to funding for VR," with only two first-party PSVR2 games allegedly in development. Sony eventually gave PSVR2 a new lease on life by adding PC VR support, but mentions of the device have been few and far between since. PSVR2 recently dropped to match its all-time low price thanks to the PlayStation Days of Play sale.

"The PlayStation VR2 may seem pricey, given that it costs $150 more than the base PS5 Digital Edition console you’ll need to use it," we wrote when we reviewed the PSVR2 on release. "Even so, it’s such a quantum leap over the original PSVR in terms of ease of use, visual quality, and immersion that any PlayStation owner who loves VR should upgrade as soon as possible.

"Its 4K HDR OLED screen and excellently tactile Sense controllers are the most obvious improvement, but plentiful quality-of-life changes and the raw horsepower of the PS5 set a new standard for how VR games should play and feel on console. The downside is that, like any new platform, its thin launch lineup makes its lack of backward compatibility with original PSVR games a significant problem, but one that will only improve as Sony and other developers roll out new games that take advantage of the PSVR2’s unique features."

A request to film Avengers: Doomsday scenes, submitted to a local UK council, includes mention of a returning location from a previous MCU film.

As BBC News reports, Marvel has requested permission to build a film set within Windsor Great Park, and asked the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead for use of the area in August.

Detailed plans for the set name it as a specific location seen in a recent MCU film that now looks set to return in Avengers: Doomsday — though some fans have suggested this still could be a decoy, as Marvel attempts to keep its famously secretive filming plans under wraps.

Warning! There may be Avengers: Doomsday spoilers ahead!

According to the plans, Marvel is seeking to build a set named Annie Reynolds' House within Windsor's park. And if you've seen Thunderbolts* / The New Avengers, that house name may sound familiar.

Annie Reynolds is the mother of Robert "Bob" Reynolds, the character who later becomes Sentry and his evil alter ego The Void. In the movie, viewers get multiple flashbacks showing Bob's troubled childhood, often spent in the attic of Annie's home. But the location is also used as the setting of a labyrinthine version of Bob's consciousness.

Of course, Bob aka Sentry has already been confirmed as returning within Avengers: Doomsday, so perhaps the return of his prison-like mind palace should not be a surprise. The last time we see Bob, during Thunderbolts' post-credits scene, the character has been left powerless, though this seems likely to change. But does the return of flashbacks to his childhood home suggest we'll be seeing The Void return as well?

While filming is only set to place at the location for one day in August, Marvel's plans request 10 weeks of access due to its need for construction (and deconstruction) afterwards — suggesting a relatively substantial set will be built.

Intriguingly, this isn't the first time that Annie Reynolds' house has been mentioned as an Avengers: Doomsday film set, either — as plans seemingly for this construction were discovered by a TikTok user who gained entry to Marvel's main film set last month.

Marvel recently delayed both Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars to December 2026 and December 2027 respectively. The Fantastic Four: First Steps, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, and the two Avengers movies are currently the only upcoming MCU films with confirmed release dates.

This week, we learned that Marvel shot a fake Thunderbolts* ending scene that included a title that wasn’t The New Avengers.

Gears of War: Reloaded's upcoming beta weekend will now last a little longer and include more content as developer The Coalition responds to feedback from players.

"We heard you," the team said on social media. "More maps. More modes. More time."

As a result, this weekend's upcoming multiplayer beta has been extended — so the beta now runs from Friday June 20 at 12pm PDT to Sunday June 22 at 9pm PDT — and Execution has now joined the mode pool alongside King of the Hill on Gridlock, Raven Down (Courtyard and War Machine), and Canals. You'll also be able to play Team Deathmatch on the same maps via social matchmaking, with Gold Rush also in the pool.

That won't quite quell the issues some players had about server stability but to be honest, that's precisely what beta tests are for, right? Better to experience that instability now than when the game launches in a few weeks' time.

Last month Microsoft announced Gears of War: Reloaded, a remaster of the original 2006 game, will launch on August 26 on PC, Xbox, and yes, even PlayStation. The shiny new version will come with improved visuals and audio, crossplay, and cross-progression, and all the DLC from the Gears of War: Ultimate Edition.

As a little treat for the Gears of War faithful, Gears of War: Reloaded will be a free upgrade for any players who purchased the digital version of Gears of War: Ultimate Edition before the announcement. If you're one of the special ones, expect a code via a DM from Xbox ahead of the release.

"As we approach the 20th anniversary of Gears of War in 2026, we’re reflecting on what this franchise means. It’s about the stories we’ve told, the friendships we’ve built, and the unforgettable moments we’ve shared together. With Gears of War: Reloaded, we’re opening that door to more players than ever," Mike Crump, studio head at The Coalition, said at the time.

Tons of Magic: The Gathering sealed products are on sale at Amazon right now. From commander decks and bundles to booster boxes and prerelease kits, there are plenty of options for any level of MTG player.

Aetherdrift, one of the latest expansions from 2025, is the main focus of the sale, but you can also pick up products from other sets like Tarkir: Dragonstorm and Bloomburrow.

Amazon has also been adding new products to the sale this week as well, and its early Prime Day deals begin to kick off, such as the Aetherdrift Finish Line Bundle now down to $59.36.

Aetherdrift Collector Booster Box $174.99 (42% off)

Booster boxes are the perfect way to start and bolster your collection. The contents of a single collector booster pack vary by set, but here you can find exclusive foils, Japan Showcase cards, or a special serialized card. The booster box comes with 12 packs each with 15 cards inside and two foil box toppers (special art foil cards).

Aetherdrift Bundle $29.99 (44% off)

Bundles are a more affordabale way to jumpstart your collection. These typically include nine booster packs, a promotional or alternate art card, 40 extra basic land cards (20 foil, 20 regular), and a spindown life counter die. You can also use this as a card storage box.

Aetherdrift Prerelease Kit $22.95 (23% off)

The Living Energy Commander deck is one of these, which includes the full 100-card deck, two foil borderless Commander creatures, and a deck box.

10 Most Valuable Chase Cards From Aetherdrift

After covering the big sale, I decided to go a bit further with my coverage and collect 10 of the most valuable cards available in play boosters and collector boosters, so you can track the best and most expensive chase cards from the set while ripping open your new boosters.

Aetherdrift has dozens of borderless, Fracture Foil, First-Place Foil, and Showcase editions of main set cards, but these are the 10 most valuable.

From a competitive standpoint, not many of these see much play, although Ketramose, the New Dawn is the face of a hot new Modern combo deck.

And for you Commander players, this is a great chance to nab the elusive Radiant Lotus Fracture Foil or the Aetherspark First-Place Foil.

More Magic: The Gathering Deals

Aetherdrift isn't the only expansion getting discounts. Seemingly random products across older expansions, including pre-release kits and play booster boxes, have also gotten price drops on Amazon.

Keep in mind that older expansions may not be legal in current Standard play, so it's worth doing some research based on whether you're buying cards for a personal collection or competitive play.

After covering the big sale, I decided to go a bit further with my coverage and collect 10 of the most valuable cards available in play boosters and collector boosters, so you can track the best and most expensive chase cards from the set while ripping open your new boosters.

The newest MTG set is the highly anticipated Final Fantasy collaboration. Easily one of the most popular Universe Beyond sets, Final Fantasy is bringing newer players on in droves. You can pick up a starter kit to learn the game, one of four commander decks, play booster boxes and bundles, or single booster packs.

If you managed to lock in a preorder before they vanished, congrats. For everyone else, here’s where you can still buy the Final Fantasy MTG cards now that the set has officially launched, such as the highly popular Starter Kit for $19.99, which Amazon just restocked again after it sold out just last week. Good luck - these go out of stock fast.

Marvel is reportedly already planning a sequel to The Fantastic Four: First Steps, despite the upcoming blockbuster still being more than a month from launch.

A Variety report states that an untitled Fantastic Four follow-up is one of several currently undated Marvel projects in development, alongside Ryan Coogler's Black Panther 3 and the long-delayed Blade reboot.

Word of a Fantastic Four sequel follows the announcement by Disney this week that it had scheduled a fourth Marvel film for launch in 2028 — without confirming what it will be. The mystery movie will arrive on December 15, 2028, Disney said, following three other Marvel launches currently scheduled for February, May and November that year.

While Disney's first new outing for The Fantastic Four is still to arrive, it makes sense that Marvel is already considering what's next for its heroes. The studio seems confident First Steps will land well with audiences, and has already announced the film's stars will be among the key players in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday.

It's also worth considering what else Marvel might consider granting sequels to, after a mixed response to a number of projects from the past few MCU phases.

We already know Eternals is not getting a follow-up anytime soon, and it seems unlikely Marvel will be rushing to make sequels for Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, The Marvels, or Captain America: Brave New World considering their low box office performances. Of Marvel's recent hits, the Guardians of the Galaxy series feels likely to be rested, meanwhile, considering the departure of director James Gunn.

Fans have long hoped to see more of Shang-Chi, though it will have been five years since the character was last seen in the MCU by the time he returns in Avengers: Doomsday. Doctor Strange seems ripe for a follow-up, though his multiversal shenanigans would have felt better suited to the current MCU saga that's now coming to a close.

And what of Thor? The popular character's last film was widely considered something of a letdown — and actor Chris Hemsworth recently sparked speculation he might be ready to move on from the character, after posting an oddly-phrased message to fans.

So, of all Marvel's recent projects, a quick sequel to capitalise on the expected success of First Steps feels likely — as long as the film ends up delivering. For now, Marvel has its next two years planned out with Spider-Man: Brand New Day due July 31, 2026, Avengers Doomsday on December 18, 2026, and then Avengers: Secret Wars on December 17, 2027.

Rematch developer Sloclap has issued an update on the lack of crossplay in the game, apologizing to fans and admitting it should have let players know it wouldn’t make launch earlier.

Rematch, from the studio behind Sifu and Absolver, is a 5v5 online multiplayer arcade soccer game played from a third-person perspective. Its recent beta was hugely popular, with 1.9 million taking part across PC, PlayStation, and Xbox. But fans complained when Sloclap confirmed Rematch wouldn’t have crossplay at launch, just hours before early access began.

Now, in a blog post shared with the press to coincide with Rematch’s full launch today, June 19, Sloclap explained what went wrong.

“We understand many of you were looking forward to playing Rematch across platforms from day one,” the studio said.

“We did our utmost to include crossplay at launch, but Rematch is the studio’s first crossplay title, and we faced unforeseen technical complexities which prevented us from having this feature ready in time. We should have communicated as soon as it became apparent that crossplay wouldn’t be available at launch, and we’re sorry for the inconvenience and frustration it caused to some of our players.

“It’s very important for us that our players are able to enjoy Rematch with their friends, so along with bugfixes, crossplay is our absolute highest priority, we're committed to delivering this feature swiftly, and we’ll share a more precise deadline as soon as possible. We already have a basic working version from a technical standpoint, but we need to implement the relevant interfaces, before debugging and polishing it, and finally passing console certifications successfully — all this takes time but we are doing our best to move forward quickly.”

Elsewhere in the post, Sloclap addressed the performance issues that affected the early access launch, saying fixing them is a priority. These include lag, stuttering, and frame drops affecting gameplay. Server and client desync has been impacting match quality, too.

“For instance, we are aware of issues where players would sometimes be unable to interact with the ball, with player characters and the ball seemingly moving across the pitch unpredictably,” Sloclap said. It’s on the case. And then there is work being done to squash game-breaking bugs that cause crashes, freezes after goals, and menu lockouts.

Besides these issues, Sloclap said it’s working on upcoming updates, “with plenty of cool content and features we want to bring to the game.” The four main areas of focus are core gameplay changes, competitive features (tournament system, a leaderboard system for players above Elite ranking, as well as a club creation system), social components (crossplay is the big one, but others include being able to spectate your squad’s game when you join a squad, and allowing players to team up and rematch with teammates they enjoyed playing with), and casual play features such as AI-controlled bots so players can train with and against AIs.

Sloclap concluded its post by pointing out that it is a small studio and all the features it has outlined will take time to come out. “Please remember that we are not a huge team, and that these features take time, so don’t expect all this by the end of the year!” it said.

Despite the launch issues and lack of crossplay, Rematch is well-received on Steam, where it has a 'mostly positive' user review rating. At the time of this article's publication, Rematch has 35,595 concurrent players on Valve's platform, a number that looks set to rise as the game heads into its first weekend.

Capcom has announced a Spotlight digital event set for next week, when it will show more of Resident Evil Requiem, Pragmata, Monster Hunter Wilds, and Street Fighter 6.

The Capcom Spotlight livestream is set for 3pm PT / 11pm UK time on Thursday, June 26, and will last 40 minutes.

Capcom said to expect the “latest news” on the company’s upcoming games, as well as interviews with the developers. Specifically, Monster Hunter Wilds fans will get details on Title Update 2, which is set to release at the end of the month.

Capcom announced Resident Evil Requiem during Summer Game Fest earlier this month with an eye-catching trailer. IGN went hands-on with Resident Evil Requiem, which lets you play in either first- or third-person. There’s a new protagonist, Grace Ashcroft, although fans think we’ll also get to play as Leon Kennedy.

Pragmata, meanwhile, reemerged at Sony’s State of Play showcase with a new release date, a trailer, and information on what the game actually is.

Street Fighter 6 also turned up at SGF to reveal its Year 3 roster of playable DLC characters: Sagat is out this summer, C. Viper this fall, Alex early spring 2026, and finally, Ingrid late spring 2026. The trailer released as part of the announcement included a brief look at Sagat gameplay, so perhaps we’ll see more in the spotlight.

Remember when Funcom promised a fix was coming for players sick of getting squished by helicopters in PvP? Well, fix it the developer did. Kinda.

Rather than mess with the Ornithopters themselves, the developer simply deployed a patch so "players no longer receive damage when hit by vehicles."

As PC Gamer points out, this is fine in theory, as it means you're not only protected by griefers determined to squish you like a bug in PvP, but it also protects you from wiping out on your sandbike, especially if you accidentally send yourself rocketing off the side of a cliff, for instance.

And though hundreds of players have upvoted a post on the subreddit that confirms the change, some point out that griefers have simply changed tactics rather than stop griefing altogether.

"The[y] need to decrease top speed when using rockets. They need to increase top speed when using thrusters. PvP should be about control, not ganking. You use rockets to take or hold a landmark, not to hunt people. That would solve a ton," said one player.

"Scouts shouldn’t have rockets," suggested another. "I’ve killed so many people with them and I shouldn’t be this fast or efficient. Assaults should have the rockets, because they’re slow and need constant input to out manoeuvre someone. Scouts should be storage and scanning."

"Is that good? I'm not sure. I think it would have been preferable if both took damage. The Thopter not taking any damage doesn't stop people being annoying with it," added another.

They're not wrong. The only thing that can shoot down an Orni is a rocket launcher or Lasguns, but both of those are Tier 6-exclusive weapons and take some time to unlock.

It also means you can't expedite fights with NPCs by ramming them with your vehicle, either. But hey, it's better than how it was before, right?

We gave Dune: Awakening a Great 8/10 in our review, writing: "Dune: Awakening is an excellent survival MMO that captures Frank Herbet’s sci-fi world incredibly well, mostly to its advantage and occasionally to its detriment. The survival climb from dehydrated peasant to powerful warlord of Arrakis is a joy almost every step of the way, and the story and worldbuilding filled this nerd with absolute joy.

"There’s still plenty for Awakening to work on though, as its combat never really hits its stride, the endgame is a bit of a chaotic mess not worth the effort, and there’s quite a few technical bugs yet to be squashed, but even these rough patches felt like tiny desert mice next to the leviathan shai-huluds that are this survival game’s wonderful successes."

Dune: Awakening has enjoyed a superb launch, with a 'very positive' user review rating on Steam. Within hours of going live on June 10, Funcom's survival MMO had clocked up over 142,000 concurrent players on Valve's platform, and hit a new high over the weekend of 189,333 players.

If all that's got you interested, make sure to check out all the Dune: Awakening classes you can choose from, and keep an eye on our in-progress Dune: Awakening walkthrough for a step-by-step guide to the story. To help you survive on Arrakis, we've got Dune: Awakening resource guides that'll help you find iron, steel, aluminium, and more.

Doctor Who showrunner Russell T Davies has said he still doesn't know whether the series will be renewed for a new season in the immediate future, as the flagship BBC show's status grows increasingly unclear.

Amid a mixed response to Doctor Who's current era, and a growing sense that Disney's recent co-production deal will not be renewed, fans have been left waiting to find out if and when the veteran sci-fi series will return.

The series' most recent finale ended with the departure of its star Ncuti Gatwa, in a sequence added during later reshoots, and an unexplained regeneration cliffhanger featuring Billie Piper, with her official status as the next Doctor left up for debate. Now, Davies has said even he is uncertain what will happen next.

Writing in the latest issue of Doctor Who Magazine, in a regular column where the showrunner reveals details of the series' ongoing production, Davies admitted there was little currently to cover.

"We don't know what's happening yet," Davies admitted, "and while everyone works that out, I'll take a pause on this page... Hopefully, we'll have news soon."

In a statement to Variety, a production source confirmed the show was currently on a "pause."

Analysis of Doctor Who's viewing figures by Variety shows a decline of 500,000 viewers from Gatwa's first season to the next, with the era down a further 1.7 million viewers from episodes starring previous Doctor Jodie Whittaker.

Davies has previously claimed the plan had always been for Disney to decide whether to continue co-financing new episodes of Doctor Who after the conclusion of its latest season. However, the showrunner has also said the plan was for a new season of Doctor Who to be made on an annual basis — and it's clear from the current production hiatus that this is no longer the case.

Next up for Doctor Who fans is a spin-off miniseries, The War Between The Land and The Sea, which has already been filmed and is expected to debut in 2026. Last week, the BBC announced early plans for another spin-off — an animated series for UK children's channel CBeebies — but with a production partner yet to be found, this sounds even further off. There's also no word on which Doctor this will focus on — or whether the character will even appear.

With no sign of production resuming on the main Doctor Who series in the near future, fans expect new episodes of the series will now not appear until 2027.

Have you ever tried to land a 747 in a crosswind using a plastic yoke that feels like it came from a cereal box? I have. And let me tell you, it's about as unpalatable as the food I imagine my AI flight attendants are serving to the NPCs spawned behind me in virtual Economy Class.

As a seasoned Microsoft Flight Sim flyboy, from MS-DOS to MS 2024, I've weathered many storms (both virtual and real) armed with peripherals that ranged from "modern but meh" to "how come I'm still using this 1997-era Sidewinder?"

Today, I’m finally excited about something new: the Moza AY210 Yoke Base and MFY Handle, a force feedback enabled experience that I've waited far too many years to feel again (thanks to patent hoarding).

The TL;DR headline on this bundle: these premium peripherals soared high in every test I threw at them and feel well worth the hefty price of admission. Speaking of which, we should get those details out of the way early. If you want to skip the window shop, click here to continue to my thoughts.

Moza Flight Test Gear

All About That Base

Despite its intimidating footprint and weight, setting up the Moza AY210 and MFY Yoke is a breeze. The AY210 base offers versatile mounting options, including desktop mounting, suspended desktop clamping, direct installation on simulator cockpits, and aluminium profile mounts, ensuring compatibility with various setups and user preferences. The MFY Yoke has a quick-release mechanism, too, allowing for easy attachment and detachment, facilitating swift transitions between different control setups.

Plug, Play, and Pilot

One of my biggest gripes with flight sim gear is the software compatibility maze. You know the drill: download drivers, update firmware, sacrifice a goat under a full moon, etc. But with the AY210, setup was refreshingly straightforward.

The base connects seamlessly via USB, and the Moza Pit House software recognises it instantly. No arcane rituals required. Plus, it's part of an ecosystem that will make it compatible with a range of yokes and accessories, making it a versatile addition to any cockpit.

Solid as a Rock

When it comes to flight sim gear, the Moza AY210 Force Feedback Yoke Base and MFY Yoke are built like the proverbial brick outhouse. The AY210's all-aluminium alloy construction isn't just for show; it provides exceptional durability and a professional aesthetic. Weighing in at a hefty 8kg, this chonky beast provided me with some serious stability during my more maniacal manoeuvres, ensuring it stayed put even during my most turbulent and ill-advised “Sky King”-like joy flights.

As expected, the MFY Yoke complements the base perfectly. Crafted from high-strength PA66 composite materials, it combines exceptional durability with extensive customisation options. The aluminium alloy quick-release mechanism adds premium functionality while maintaining structural integrity, reflecting Moza's commitment to durability without compromising on weight.

In short, the Moza AY210 and MFY Yoke are a testament to robust engineering and the reasonable replication of real-life controls. They're not just peripherals; they're reliable co-pilots that can withstand the rigours of any flight simulation session. Whether you're navigating through a storm or executing a perfect landing, I think these components deliver stable and immersive experiences.

Performance: Feel the Force (Feedback)

When it comes to flight simulation, the Moza AY210 Force Feedback Yoke Base and MFY Yoke let you feel as close to real flying as you can get without leaving your chair (or getting a bank loan for a trainer-level setup). The AY210's 9 Nm of torque and 210 N of push force provide a tactile feedback that accurately simulates various aircraft types, from light planes to commercial airliners. I loved feeling every nuance of flight, from the resistance of the controls during a steep climb to the nerve-shredding vibrations of escalating turbulence.

The 150 mm of travel distance allows for precise control inputs, making every manoeuvre feel real-life legit (I imagine). The 15-bit magnetic encoder ensures that every subtle input registers with near-zero latency, creating an exceptionally responsive experience that my fellow salty veterans will appreciate.

Meanwhile, the Hall Effect joysticks of the MFY provide precise, drift-free performance, ensuring that your inputs remain accurate over time. I couldn’t spot any bad eggs in the 34 configurable inputs on offer, plus you can tailor the setup to match your flying style, whether you're a casual Cessna enthusiast or you’re schlepping a few hundred souls across an ocean or two.

Basically, the Moza AY210 and MFY Yoke never skipped a beat for me. They offered a performance that elevated the immersion factor of my simming to a whole new height. Just a game-changer feeling that I probably can’t downgrade back from now.

Customisation: Your Cockpit, Your Rules

If you like to tinker, Moza’s Pit House software is a robust tool that will empower your wildest preferences. With up to 15 adjustable force feedback settings, I could fine-tune aspects such as mechanical friction and road feel sensitivity, allowing for less wrist-taxing, chill flight sessions (or shock and awe FFB demos for my non-flight-sim friends).

Additionally, the software offers customisable RGB lighting options, allowing you to personalise the aesthetic of your cockpit setup. I’m not one to stare downwards at my controls much (if at all), but it’s nice to know the feature is both there and incredibly easy to set up/change at will with multiple presets.

Flying High

In the world of flight simulation, peripherals can make or break your realism. The Moza AY210 and MFY Yoke bundle stick the landing in this regard. Offering a blend of durability, performance, and customisation, I reckon this duo is a must-have for any serious pilot. If, like me, you’ve been hungering for decades for that next generation of FFB flight gear, this is your first-class ticket to having a much better time.
