Remedy has announced a June 17, 2025 release date for FBC: Firebreak.

FBC: Firebreak is a session-based, multiplayer PvE experience set within the Control universe. It features replayable missions known as Jobs, each with different challenges, objectives, and environments that require teamwork and adaptability.

It’s set for launch across PC (Steam and Epic Games Store), Xbox Series X andS, and PlayStation 5 for $39.99 / €39.99 / £32.99. FBC: Firebreak will also be available day one via PC Game Pass, Game Pass Ultimate, and PlayStation Plus Game Catalog (Extra and Premium). It’s Remedy’s first self-published game.

Remedy also revealed the FBC: Firebreak Deluxe Edition, priced $49.99 / €49.99 / £39.99. It includes a collection of exclusive cosmetics and premium voice packs. Base game owners can upgrade to Deluxe Edition for $10 / €10 / £7

The FBC: Firebreak Deluxe Edition includes:

• “The Firestarter” Premium Voice Pack
• “The Pencil Pusher” Premium Voice Pack
• Firestarter Armor Set, Apex Revision (Helmet, Body Armor, Gloves)
• Scorched Remnant Double-Barrel Shotgun Skin
• Golden Firebreak Spray
• Classified Requisition: “Firestarter”: A collection of 36 unlockable cosmetic items including weapon skins, sprays, and armor sets

Here’s the official blurb:

FBC: Firebreak introduces Requisitions, a system that rewards players with new gear and cosmetics simply by playing the game. Requisitions can include weapons, equipment, armor, sprays, and more - all unlockable using in-game currency earned through gameplay. There are no limited-time windows or rotating stores; if an item is added in the game, it’s always available.

For those who want additional customization options, Classified Requisitions offer premium cosmetic items - such as armor sets, custom voice packs, sprays, and weapon skins. Classified Requisitions are purchased with real money. The items are purely cosmetic, have no gameplay impact, and will remain available permanently. Read more about how Requisitions work here.

Remedy also confirmed its plans for ongoing support post-launch, including two new Jobs (missions) coming in 2025. More updates will arrive in 2026, the developer said. All playable content released post launch, such as Jobs, will be free to all players. Players have the option to buy cosmetics, but none of these items will affect gameplay, and there will be no limited-time rotations or daily log-ins, Remedy insisted.

It's a busy time for Alan Wake developer Remedy, which has a number of projects on the go. As well as FBC: Firebreak, it's working on Control 2 and the Max Payne and Max Payne 2 remake compilation.

Oblivion is back, and it’s not just because Bethesda’s remaster is a nostalgia-fueled trip down memory lane. It’s because of all the funny faces.

Oblivion Remastered, developed by remake specialist Virtuos using Unreal Engine 5, has a long list of visual and feature improvements. It runs at 4K resolution and 60 frames per second, as you'd expect, but other changes are more meaningful. Everything from the leveling systems to character creation, and combat animations to in-game menus have been improved. Meanwhile, there's lots of new dialogue, a proper third-person view, and new lip sync technology. The changes are going down well with fans, some of whom believe Oblivion Remastered would be more accurately described as a remake. Bethesda, however, has explained why it went down the remaster route.

IGN has already reported on how the funny character faces players have come up with are going viral, and rounded up some of our favorites. But now someone who actually worked on the original 20 years ago has declared a winner.

Jeff Gardiner worked at Bethesda Game Studios for a whopping 16 years, starting with Oblivion before becoming lead producer of all its various pieces of DLC. In a tweet, Gardiner, now boss of Something Wicked Games, revealed that when testing the original Oblivion the developers at Bethesda would compete to see who could come up with the most absurd face. You can imagine some of the faces the team built, but, in Gardiner's opinion, there's one recently made in Oblivion Remastered that would have won all those years ago.

The nightmarish face in question was created by YouTuber and NASCAR/ARCA driver Cody Dennison, aka CAMELOT331. In a tweet, CAMELOT331 described his creation as “my magnum opus,” and named him 'Sir Vancealot.'

Towards the end of development when we were all playtesting Oblivion, we used to all compete to see who could make the most absurd face. Have to say, I think this would have won. https://t.co/12Xd5VBBoZ

— Jeff Gardiner 🎮 (@jg93) April 24, 2025

Obviously, Sir Vancealot leans into the JD Vance meme, which revolves around horrifying pictures of a bloated Vice President of the United States.

You've heard of JD Vance?

Well, here's 3D Vance. pic.twitter.com/iD1ALg2x2y

— Klara (@klara_sjo) March 5, 2025

CAMELOT331’s tweet showcasing Sir Vancealot has been viewed an incredible 2.1 million times, so he may well be the most famous Oblivion Remastered character creation yet. Gardiner’s stamp of approval will no doubt help, too.

Of course, Gardiner’s tweet has sparked a flood of similarly outlandish character creator faces in the replies, some of which are just as troublesome as Sir Vancealot.

Ooo I think this is awesome

Amazon has been running a buy three for $33 sale on 4K movies all week, and it has been wildly popular so far. I'm always surprised/delighted at how high the demand is for physical media these days, especially when it comes to 4K movies. If you are currently building a movie collection of your own, this sale is definitely worth a look. Some of the best movies of all time are currently included.

That being said, this sale started on Monday and likely won't last much longer. Amazon tends to run these promotions for about a week even though it never actually posts an end date for these sales. I've gathered some of the bestselling 4K and Blu-ray options below that are currently eligible, but it's worth diving into the full sale yourself.

Amazon 4K Movie Sale Today

Some of the most notable additions to this sale are the sci-fi movies featured here. There are classics like Blade Runner, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Terminator, and E.T. that make for a great start to any sci-fi collection. There are also more recent films like Christopher Nolan's Inception and Godzilla Minus One that are popular 4K picks even outside of a sale like this.

In addition to sci-fi movies, there are also quite a few other classics that have received the 4K treatment. Blazing Saddles and The Lost Boys are great buys for any collector and worth watching again in glorious 4K.

Finally, quite a few movies in here are worth getting just because of the 4K resolution of it all. Big monster movies like Pacific Rim and action films like 300 were meant to be seen in the highest resolution possible. If you have the right equipment to watch 4K movies at home, all of these films are worthy of a movie night.

When does this sale actually end?

Humans like to consider themselves the top of the food chain, and while that idea might work on Earth, we barely scrape by in the galactic gladiator competition. The Predator franchise, which began with the classic Scwarzenegger film in 1987, is all about the "Yautja" - towering trophy-seeking hunters from space who travel to different worlds for lethal competition and have been known to kidnap species for hunts back on their home planet.

Two initial Predator films in 1987 and 1990 created a baseline for the Predator saga. Since Xenomorphs from the Alien moves are also a cinematic scourge for humanity, it made perfect sense in the 2000's to create a shared universe with two Alien vs. Predator flicks. In the following decade, directors such as Robert Rodriquez, Shane Black, and Dan Trachtenberg all put their spins on the franchise.

With two new Predator movies arriving in 2025, one of which may be pointing to another Alien crossover, it's a better time than ever to binge the original sci-fi classics. If you want to watch every Predator movie in order, we've got you covered! Below you'll find the full timeline of the Predator movies and where to watch them online.

How Many Predator Movies Are There?

There are a total of seven movies in the Predator franchise — four in the mainline series of films, two Alien crossovers, and one prequel. Two new Predator movies are set to release in 2025.

Predator Movies in (Chronological) Order

1. Prey (2022)

Prey is a prequel and therefore designed to be watched after everything else (especially Predator 2) but if one is truly looking to take in the Predator franchise in chronological order this is the place to begin. Set in 1719, across the the Great Plains, Prey follows a young Comanche woman, Naru (Amber Midthunder), who gets more than she bargains for when she accompanies her brother on a hunt and winds up in the crosshairs of a (more primitive) Predator. Determined to prove herself, Naru sets her sights on taking the alien stalker down in this fresh and thrilling take from the three-decade saga.

Read IGN's review of Prey

2. Predator (1987)

It all started with 1987's Predator, directed by Die Hard's John McTiernan and starring heyday Arnold Schwarzenegger, along with Carl Weathers, Jesse Ventura, Bill Duke, and Shane Black (who would direct his own Predator film many years later). Predator is an awesome action classic where a near-unstoppable military rescue team gets their asses handed to them by a terrifying invisible force in the jungles of South America. When the attacker is revealed to be an alien hunter out on its own version of a sinister safari, Schwarzenegger's Dutch must figure out how to ambush and defeat a monster light years ahead of him in tech and tactics.

3. Predator 2 (1990)

A few years later, Predator returned to multiplexes for more massacres and mayhem, but this time with a complete change of cast and setting. Taking place amongst a near-future heatwave/crimewave -- 1997 Los Angeles -- Predator 2 follows cops played by Danny Glover, Bill Paxton, Ruben Blades, and María Conchita Alonso as they attempt to not only deal with a bloody Cartel war on the streets, but a badass alien Predator too, stalking the cityscape for victims.

4. AVP: Alien vs. Predator (2004)

After 14 years -- with novels, comics, and video games keeping the franchise flames lit -- Predator came back in a huge way with a full crossover movie, merging with the Alien saga, which hadn't been dormant but definitely struggled to find its footing in the '90s. Alien vs. Predator, from Resident Evil/Event Horizon's Paul W. S. Anderson, was a big hit, injecting new life into both sci-fi/horror properties. Set in "present day" America, AVP introduced a nasty bit of history connecting the Yautja and Xenomorphs. Namely that Predators had been conducting hunts on Earth for centuries using humans as breeding bodies for Xenos, and then hunting down the Xeno swarm for "right of passage" sport. Sanaa Lathan, Lance Henriksen, Raoul Bova, and Ewen Bremner star.

5. Aliens vs Predator: Requiem (2007)

The sequel to AVP, Aliens vs Predator: Requiem, picks up right where AVP left off, so timeline-wise this is all the same battle. Not as successful as its predecessor (hence it being the final crossover film) Requiem delivered an Alien-Predator hybrid, known as the "Predalien," as it attacked a small Colorado town and a Predator "cleaner" being dispatched to take down this new monstrosity.

Read IGN's review of Alien vs. Predator: Requiem here.

6. Predators (2010)

The only Predator movie to not take place on Earth, Predators, from Robert Rodriguez, looked to shake up the formula a bit by bringing audiences to a distant planet, a Yautja game reserve. With a killer cast including Adrien Brody, Walton Goggins, Laurence Fishburne, Topher Grace, and Alice Braga, Predators showed fans how humans, specifically "established killers," are abducted and used for sport between two warring Yautja tribes.

Timeline-wise, this is a tricky one. It's never clearly stated when this all happens. Meaning, the Earth year. But it's easy enough to just assume it's 2010, when the movie was released. Or, in the very least, based on the characters, the early 21st Century. So Predators can fit into your chronological viewing plans here, at number six, or you can save it for last.

7. The Predator (2018)

Despite Predators being a modest hit it would still be eight years before a new Predator film hit the big screen and with 2018's The Predator, director/co-writers Shane Black (Iron Man 3, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang) would take the franchise back to its original formula (which he himself starred in) by presenting a squad of unstable soldiers -- played by the likes of Boyd Holbrook, Trevante Rhodes, Keegan-Michael Key, Thomas Jane and Game of Thrones' Alfie Allen -- who take on a pair of rampaging Predators and thwart their Yautja schemes (which involve DNA splicing). The film ends with a tease for more, while alternate/unused endings featured time traveling versions of both Alien's Ellen Ripley and Rebecca "Newt" Jorden in a new grab for crossover gold.

The Future of the Predator Franchise

Two new Predator movies will be released in 2025. Predator: Badlands, in theaters November 7, 2025, will star Elle Fanning and feature Predator as the protagonist, according to director Dan Trachtenberg. The movie's first teaser appears to show Elle Fanning's character "rebooting" like a Weyland-Yutani synth, pointing to a possible Alien connection.

The second Predator movie, also directed by Trachtenberg, was kept secret for quite some time. However, we can now confirm that Predator: Killer of Killers, is an animated movie that follows three different encounters with the ultimate killer at various points in history. The movie is set to release directly onto Hulu on June 6.

Every genre of film has a few stinkers, but the video game movie genre has more than its fair share. Movies like 1993's Super Mario Bros. and 1997's Mortal Kombat: Annihilation are still legendary for how truly awful they are, and for how badly they miss the appeal of the source material. Luckily, Hollywood's track record has improved somewhat in recent years, with the Sonic the Hedgehog series and The Super Mario Bros. Movie showing a better way forward. Even so, there are still some stinkers out there. We're looking at you, Borderlands...

Hollywood keeps trying, that's for sure! And it would be pretty hard to sink lower than the following 12 abysmal video game movies anyway...

Super Mario Bros. (1993)

Super Mario Bros. is sort of the video game equivalent of 1987's Master of the Universe, in that it's a very flimsy adaptation of the source material and spends far too much time on Earth. We're not sure what offends us more - the ridiculous take on King Koopa and his Goombas or the fact that Mario and Luigi needed gadgets to help them jump and stomp.

Double Dragon (1994)

The Double Dragon games are about two brothers moving from left to right and beating up hundreds of thugs. That's not exactly the stuff great films are made of. We have to admire this film for its attempt to create a post-apocalyptic, punk-flavored version of Los Angeles, but every aspect of Double Dragon is so cheap and poorly executed as to make it unwatchable.

Mortal Kombat: Annihilation (1997)

After a string of bad adaptations, 1995's Mortal Kombat proved it is possible for a game franchise to survive the transition to the big screen. Sadly, that success was not at all replicated the second time around. Mortal Kombat Annihilation is a colorful train wreck that crams in every character from the games for no other reason than because it can. The CG effects were abysmal even by 1997 standards. At least the late-'90s techno soundtrack still holds up.

Wing Commander (1999)

Wing Commander must have seemed like a logical game franchise to adapt, given that the PC games were already notable for their use of FMV cutscenes. Yet somewhere between trading series veteran Mark Hamill for Freddie Prinze Jr. and Matthew Lillard and botching the look of the alien Killrathi, Wing Commander completely lost touch with the appeal of the games. What was left amounted to little more than a low-budget bundle of sci-fi tropes.

House of the Dead (2003)

Director Uwe Boll became synonymous with bad video game movies in the early 2000s, and House of the Dead was the first of many misfires. There's no doubt a good movie to made out of the games and their combination of violent zombie gore and B-movie cheese. House of the Dead, sadly, didn't come even close to realizing that potential.

Alone in the Dark (2005)

Boll followed up House of the Dead with the even more dreadful Alone in the Dark in 2005. Where the games helped birth the survival horror genre and inspired franchises like Resident Evil and Silent Hill, the movie is just very, very bad. It's not just one of the worst video game movies ever made, but a clear contender for the worst film of all time.

BloodRayne (2005)

2005 may just be the worst year ever for video game movies, as Boll also unleashed BloodRayne upon unsuspecting audiences. There was precious little to salvage here, and we're still not sure how Boll roped in actors like Ben Kingsley and Michael Madsen for this schlocky, oversexed vampire movie.

Postal (2007)

If any Boll film can rival Alone in the Dark as the worst video game movie ever made, it's definitely Postal. As it is, the source material didn't offer the strongest foundation to build on, consisting largely of hyper-violent action and shock humor. The film merely accentuated those qualities, resulting in the video game equivalent of parodies like Epic Movie and Disaster Movie.

Max Payne (2008)

On paper, 2008's Max Payne sounded pretty swell. It adapted a well-liked shooter franchise, featured a bankable star in Mark Wahlberg and combined the stylish gunplay of The Matrix with the visual sensibilities of Sin City. Sadly, a bloated script and lousy acting ensured that Max Payne became yet another adaptation that failed to live up to its potential.

Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li (2009)

1994's Street Fighter is a long way from good cinema, but it has a certain campy charm. The same can't be said for 2009's Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li. With poorly executed fight scenes and none of the colorful excess of the games, there's just nothing about this adaptation that screams "Street Fighter."

Silent Hill: Revelation (2012)

Flawed though it is, 2006's Silent Hill remains one of the better attempts at translating a popular video game series to film. But like Mortal Kombat: Annihilation before it, Silent Hill: Revelation lost touch with basically everything that made its predecessor stand out. Rather than channeling a sense of terror, Revelation merely collapsed under the weight of its flashy, hollow action scenes.

Hitman: Agent 47 (2015)

2007's Hitman might have made this list if not for the fact that it was eventually "topped" by the 2015 reboot, Hitman: Agent 47. Agent 47 attempts to be an over-the-top action movie worthy of the '80s classics, but it's simply too bland and formulaic to leave any sort of lasting impression.

Borderlands: The Movie (2024)

If not the outright worst movie on this list, Borderlands is probably the most disappointing. We had high hopes for this adaptation, given the involvement of big names like director Eli Roth and stars Cate Blanchett and Jamie Lee Curtis. But the end result is an ugly mess of a film and a real waste of the colorful sci-fi source material. No one involved looks to be having much fun in this drab Guardians of the Galaxy wannabe.

Recent video game movies include A Minecraft Movie, which scored a 6 out of 10 in IGN's review, and Until Dawn, which scored a 5 out of 10 in IGN's review.

What's the worst video game movie you've seen? Let's discuss in the comments!

Havoc streams on Netflix beginning Friday, April 25.

There’s something almost curatorial about the violence in Havoc, the new pageant of senselessly spectacular bloodshed from Gareth Evans. The Welsh writer-director of The Raid and its plus-sized sequel doesn’t just expertly choreograph his mayhem. He leads us on a guided tour through it, drawing our eyes exactly where they need to go at every bone-cracking moment. About halfway through this Netflix crime thriller, the characters converge upon a nightclub, the kind Blade or John Wick will often drizzle in the blood of their foolhardy pursuers. Evans films the ensuing free-for-brawl in dizzying whip pans, racing back and forth across the space to catch every body felled by a blade or tossed over railings. His camera moves like a head on a swivel, following the carnage with the hyper-focus of a referee never losing track of the onfield play. To us, it seems to serve up a live sizzle reel of harm and foul.

Though the precision of the fights and East-meets-West bent of the material might suggest otherwise, Havoc is not another quirky Wick imitation. (Small favors there – that trend is losing its luster a decade out.) Instead, Evans has made a rather mercenary and familiar underworld saga, and then goosed it with his speciality for virtuosic brutality. Take out the excessive combat scenes and there wouldn’t be much else to distinguish it from other direct-to-streaming punch-ups.

Even the location is generic, a glowing placeholder. The story unfolds over Christmas in an unidentified metropolis ridden with crime and riddled with bullets; the city is East meets West, too, in the sense that it alternately (if vaguely) resembles New York and Los Angeles, as played by a digitally touched up Cardiff. Our entry point into this world is Walker Mackey (Tom Hardy), a hangover with a badge. Hardy’s presence is about all that tethers Havoc to human interest; like almost every actor here, he’s playing a stock genre type: the cynical lifer cop burnt out by his bad decisions. But armed with his stocky frame, low mutter, and air of weary machismo, the Mad Max: Fury Road star exudes his usual, gruff credibility. He’s the rare modern A-lister you can buy as an actual brute.

A coke deal has gone wrong, as coke deals in the movies usually do. A spoiled Triad scion lays glassy-eyed in his den of vices. Havoc follows the pursuit of the patsies, a couple of scared twentysomethings falsely fingered for the murder; they go on the run from a vengeful Chinese syndicate and a tight-knit task force of dirty cops, plus at least one virtuous rookie who just wants to solve the crime, not avenge it. None are characters worth naming. Havoc keeps throwing more into the mix, like a corrupt mayor played by Forest Whitaker and Timothy Olyphant as the leader of the bad officers who used to call Walker an accomplice.

Evans is virtually unmatched in the field of staging savage show- and beatdowns that seem chaotic but are obviously, actually very carefully blocked, and Havoc comes to life whenever he gets in touch with that skill. Even 14 years on, the director is still riding the high of the Indonesian tower-of-doom bloodfest The Raid, a movie whose power lay in its ruthlessly single-minded pursuit of awe. No characters, really. No plot, or motivation. Just bloody survival, floor by floor.

Havoc is not as pure as that impeccably orchestrated instant classic of adrenaline-junkie thrills. Like the director’s second Raid movie, it clutters up the bombastic, lizard-brained carnage with too much gangland intrigue. The story he’s concocted is mere scaffolding for the action, but Evans doesn’t seem to realize that. We know, instinctively, by muscle memory of muscular genre pastiches before it, where things are headed. Will Hardy’s cop redeem himself for the transgression that sours his moods? Please. The only real question is how much collateral damage he’ll leave on his path to absolution.

Savor the moments when everyone stops talking and starts swinging a hook, firing a harpoon, or pumping an armory’s worth of lead into the floor and ceiling. That acrobatic camera – lurching forward to stay in the fray, as dynamic as the doomed martial-arts henchpeople it films – follows the golden rule of showing instead of telling. So does a kinetic opening car chase, only marginally less exciting for having clearly been put together entirely on a computer, in contrast with the best road-rage sequences on Hardy’s resume. So long as Havoc is delivering on the promise of, well, havoc it passes the time. But a more genuinely curated action flick wouldn’t have wasted as much of ours.

As an improvement over the now popular Hall Effect (HE) technology in gamepads, which uses magnetic sensors instead of potentiometers, the emerging tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) provides greater resolution, lower power consumption, and a higher reporting rate. It’s proven to be a great success, and as such, it was only a matter of time before this ferromagnetism- and quantum tunneling-based technology was going to try wedging its way to be among the best gaming keyboards.

The MonsGeek FUN60 Ultra TMR uses this technology to purportedly detect key presses faster and pick up the smallest possible movements by sensing changes in its magnetic field without needing perfect alignment. Along with an 8,000Hz polling rate, 0.6ms wired response, 1.1ms wireless response, and customizable key actuation and travel, it proves to be a formidable gaming keyboard. Of course, while as a 60% keyboard it's undeniably compact, you have to be ready to sacrifice some usability, including easy access to common keys.

MonsGeek FUN60 Ultra TMR Keyboard – Design and Software

In the box is the keyboard, 2.4 GHz USB-A wireless dongle, USB-C to USB-A cable, keycap puller, switch puller, and a quick start sheet. MonsGeek says a keyboard cover is included, but it's really just some clear plastic that I personally put aside. The keyboard itself is ready to go out-of-the-box, although it's recommended to charge it first if you're not going to use it wired.

The FUN60 is undeniably compact at roughly 11.48 inches wide, 3.91 inches long, and 1.56 inches deep from the highest keycap to the bottom of the permanently-attached rubber pads. These dimensions, combined with an aluminum body and steel base plate, make the keyboard feel remarkably solid, even though it only weighs around 2.4 pounds.

On the rear left of the keyboard is the sole USB-C port. Outside of a place on the upper left for an optional strap, there's nothing more to the design other than its keys, making this about as streamlined as you can get (and there isn’t a place to store the included wireless dongle). With the switch set to either Mac or Windows, you can select one of three paired Bluetooth devices with Fn + E, R, or T, respectively, or the 2.4GHz dongle with FN + Y.

Oddly, a three-position switch for Mac, USB, and Windows is located under the Caps lock key, requiring its removal to physically switch modes. In the middle USB position, the keyboard is off and only works via a wired connection, whereas the Mac and Windows switches turn on the wireless functionality and configure the keys for those respective operating systems.

There's no local software, only a Monsgeek browser client that requires a Chromium-based web browser like Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Opera, or Brave, and the installation of a local driver. With the 2.4 GHz dongle on my Windows 11 desktop, I had no trouble installing the driver once prompted. After driver installation, the keyboard was immediately recognized in the browser client.

Surprisingly, the browser client is some of the best keyboard configuration software I've used. All functionality, from actuation to function key settings to macros to lighting and more are all easy to find and configure. A representation of the keyboard is almost always present in the browser client so you know exactly what key or keys are being modified.

You can set every single key to have its own actuation point (the point at which a key registers input) from 0.1mm to 3.4mm as well as an option for non-stop rapid trigger. Besides the usual layers, function key modifiers, macros, and ARGB lighting for individual keys, there's also powerful gaming-centric options like Snap Key and Mod-Tap.

With Snap Key, if two keys are pressed at the same time, the last selected key is the press that's registered. For my own use case, I have A and D set as my snap keys for FPS games that make use of WASD movement for continuous left-right movement. With Mod-Tap, a single keypress can activate two functions. For example, you can tap a key at its actuation point for its regular function, but hold it down for your configured number of milliseconds, from 10 to 1,000, to perform another.

MonsGeek FUN60 Ultra TMR – Performance

Thanks to the pre-lubed stabilizers and rigidity of the keyboard chassis, the pre-installed Akko Glare Magnetic Switches with their extra pins, reversed polarity, and closed bottom both feel and sound great. They smoothly bottom out, making a satisfying dull clack, providing a great mix of performance and feedback that's ideal for touch typing.

The PBT keycaps have a slight grit, which helps with grip and resistance to showing finger oils, although I personally wouldn't have minded just a bit more texture. The keycap design does a great job of showcasing the north-facing ARGB, which is another stand-out in terms of brightness and consistency.

Of course, as much as I love typing on this keyboard, but as a consequence of the 60% design, it's missing quite a few keys I found useful, and not just a number pad. Not having arrow keys is the biggest omission for me, but there's also other missing keys like back quote/tilde (` ~) and delete (del).

While shortcuts address some of these omissions, like FN+backspace for delete, others, like the arrow keys, are simply not available. For instance, even with the browser client, I couldn't figure out how to program arrow keys as there just weren't enough non-system-specific keys to map in a logical up, down, left, and right configuration.

Ultimately, for me, I'd love to have this exact keyboard for use as a daily driver, just in a slightly more expanded 65% layout, or preferably greater, version with a complete set of keys (with media keys or macro buttons to boot). With that said, the person buying this type of 60% keyboard probably knows what they're getting and why, so these aspects come with the territory.

The MonsGeek FUN60 Ultra TMR proves to be a formidable gaming keyboard.

If for some reason you don't like the included keys or switches, both are replaceable. In fact, when you replace the switch type, either for the whole keyboard or individual keys, you can properly calibrate and set the configuration for that specific type, either magnetic or 5-pin mechanical, through the browser client. The FUN60 is directly compatible with Windy/Glare, Jade, Jade Pro, Jade Gaming, Uranus, and King switches, but there's also an option for other mechanical switches, although you may not be able to match quite the same actuation accuracy even with calibration.

While I had no trouble using the FUN60 with various devices over Bluetooth, including a Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra, the real performance comes from the wired or 2.4 GHz wireless modes. Testing confirms the FUN60 has a true 8K polling rate and a delightfully low latency of around 0.6ms wired and 1.1ms over 2.4 GHz.

Hardcore enthusiasts will want to adjust deadzones and what-not, but for my modest gaming skills I set my actuation points for every key to 1.00 mm down and 0.50mm. Combined with setting A and D as snap keys, I had lighting-fast performance in games where such things matter, like Fortnite (but be mindful that SOCD, or simultaneous opposite cardinal direction, inputs are a contentious feature in competitive gaming, and will get you kicked from games like Counter-Strike 2). Even better, these settings had no impact on touch typing, which again, even with the keyboard designed to remain at a solitary fixed angle, was both comfortable and satisfying.

While the TMR technology really delivers when it comes to precision and performance, it's also supposed to use less power. The built-in 4000mAh battery requires about 12 hours for a full charge, but delivers up to 200 hours when ARGB lighting is off, which is very impressive. With ARGB lighting on, that figure drops to only 11 hours, which is not that great in comparison to a keyboard like the Logitech G915 X Lightspeed TKL, which can deliver just over 40 hours of battery life at 100% RGB brightness.

The big gap in battery life with and without lighting is somewhat a bummer, but it's still good to know that even with the ARGB lighting on, the FUN60 should power you through at least a full day of gaming. And unlike the Logitech G915 X Lightspeed TKL, it’s at least very quick to wake up from sleep.

One other note about battery life is that since there's no local software running on your computer, there's no active monitoring. You can do a manual battery life check by pressing FN + spacebar, with, for instance, the escape key glowing green at 90% or greater battery life left, or glowing red below 30%, but no way to be notified proactively when the FN60 is running low on power.

If you've been waiting for one of the more affordable Blackwell cards to come back in stock at a reputable retailer, here's your chance to pick one up at list price. Amazon currently has the Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5070 Windforce OC 12GB Graphics Card exclusively for Amazon Prime members for $609.99 with free shipping. This is an excellent GPU for gaming at up to 1440p with high framerates and supports the latest DLSS 4 technology.

Note that the suggested launch price of a GeForce RTX 5070 card is $549.99. There are a few models at that price point but they have been extremely hard to find in stock. This Windforce model is priced higher because it's an OC version. That said, this is currently the lowest price you'll find for a standalone 5070 GPU.

The Legend of Zelda is one of the most iconic video game series of all time. Starting on the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1986, The Legend of Zelda follows various incarnations of Princess Zelda and Link as they fight to save Hyrule from the evil that is Ganon. While the series has always been popular, the Nintendo Switch has catapulted Zelda into one of Nintendo's best-selling properties with landmark titles in Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom.

Echoes of Wisdom released toward the end of the original Nintendo Switch's life cycle, but Nintendo has already revealed quite a bit about the next generation of adventures in Hyrule. Here's every Legend of Zelda game on the Nintendo Switch as well as new features and Zelda games we can confirm are coming to the Switch 2.

How Many Zelda Games Are There on Nintendo Switch?

In total, eight Zelda games have been released specifically for the Nintendo Switch. This includes both mainline entries and spinoff games that were released from 2017 to 2025. All of these Zelda games will be playable on the Switch 2, with Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom specifically getting Switch 2 Editions.

All Zelda Switch Games in Order of Release Date

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - 2017

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild was the first Zelda title released for Nintendo Switch. Launching alongside the system, this title marked a turning point in the Zelda series, bringing a style of open world gameplay that we'd never seen before. You can traverse to anywhere you can see in the world. Link awakes after a 100 year slumber, where he is tasked by the spirit of Hyrule's former King to save Princess Zelda from Calamity Ganon - a primal evil trapped inside Hyrule Castle.

Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition - 2018

Hyrule Warriors is an action hack and slash title developed by Omega Force and originally released for the Wii U. Characters from all kinds of Zelda games make an appearance, whether as playable characters or villains. The game was brought over to Nintendo Switch in 2018 in the form of Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition, and includes all characters, stages, and modes from the original game in addition to Breath of the Wild inspired costumes for Link and Zelda.

Cadence of Hyrule - 2019

Cadence of Hyrule is an extremely unqiue collaboration between Brace Yourself Games and Nintendo. The game combines the roguelike rhythm gameplay of Crypt of the NecroDancer with the world of The Legend of Zelda and its characters. This spinoff offers an incredible soundtrack and beautiful pixelated graphics. Up against Octavo, a musical villain, Zelda and Link team up with Cadence to thwart his plans and save the Hyrule.

The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening - 2019

The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening is a remake of 1993 Game Boy title developed by Grezzo. This charming platformer sees Link castaway at Koholint Island, where he must solve the mystery of the Wind Fish, a legendary being said to be on the island. Unlike some of the more modern Zelda titles, Link's Awakening takes you across many different dungeons and areas to collect the Instruments of the Sirens. If you never got the chance to play the original Link's Awakening, this is the definitive way to experience one of the Zelda series' most unique titles.

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity - 2020

The second Switch entry in the Hyrule Warriors series, Age of Calamity is set 100 years before the events of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Here, you can experience firsthand the events that occured in the fight against Calamity Ganon. All of your favorite Breath of the Wild cahracters are here and playable, including Link, Zelda, the Champions, and so many more. Omega Force created a fun and expansive title, with two waves of DLC you can check out after completing the main story.

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD - 2021

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD is the long-awaited remaster of the classic Wii game. Set at the beginning of the Zelda timeline, Skyward Sword takes Link to the skies as he traverses across the world to save his childhood friend Zelda. You'll uncover the Master Sword was created as part of this journey, among other things. The remaster includes the iconic motion controls you can operate with the Joy-Con and a new button-only gameplay style for those looking to play without motion.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom - 2023

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom hit the market in 2023, selling over 10 million copies in just three days as well as quite a few special edition Switch consoles. Set a few years after the events of Breath of the Wild, Link is tasked once again with finding Princess Zelda after Ganondorf is resurrected. Tears of the Kingdom takes to both the skies of Hyrule and the depths below the land. This creates one of the largest maps you'll find in any game, leaving for hundreds of hours of exploration to be had. All in all, it's the best Zelda game of all time and a hard one to follow.

Read our review of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom - 2024

But, of course, Tears of the Kingdom was not the end of this beloved Nintendo franchise. The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom was announced during June's Nintendo Direct before launching on the Switch this week. While Echoes has the titular Princess take the story's reigns, and features a more 2D art style à la Link's Awakening, it should not be mistaken as a spin-off or side project. This is a full-blown, magical Zelda game, that lets you unlock your creativity to try and save Link and the rest of Hyrule in entirely new ways.

Electronic Arts has officially confirmed the release date for the next entry in the Madden NFL series, and it looks like the series is making the full leap to the current generation of consoles.

Madden NFL 26 will debut on August 14, 2025 with a three-day early access period for Deluxe Edition pre-orders starting on August 11. The next pro football entry will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and S, PC via EA app for Windows, Steam, and Epic, and on the Nintendo Switch 2.

While Madden NFL 26 will see the series finally head to Nintendo's hybrid handheld console, it also means the series is leaving the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on the bench. Neither last-gen platform is confirmed for Madden NFL 26, so the series is fully stepping into the PS5 and Xbox Series era.

Several pre-order options are available, including a loyalty offer for players of Madden NFL 25, 24, or 23, which will give 10% off a purchase and a 99 OVR Player Pack for Madden NFL 25 Ultimate Team. There's also the MVP Bundle, which packages the Deluxe Editions of Madden NFL 26 and College Football 26 into one big bundle. Here's what comes with the Deluxe Edition of Madden NFL 26.

EA Sports Madden NFL 26 Deluxe Edition Pre-order Bonuses

• 3 Day Early Access (Aug 11-14)
• 4600 Madden Points
• Early Access Ultimate Team™ Solo Challenges
• Season 1 Elite Player Player Item (Pre Order before July 24th to receive this.)

• Superstar Legendary XP Boost
• Player Card Exclusive Item
• Franchise Coach Ability Points

Alongside the announcement of this year's Madden NFL, EA also confirmed a July 10 launch date for EA College Football 26, which is heading to PS5 and Xbox Series X and S only.

As one of Nintendo's most iconic characters, Mario is everywhere on the Switch. The plumber has had multiple releases every year since the system first came out with no signs of stopping, even as we head closer to the now officially announced Switch 2. Some of the best Mario games ever have launched on the Switch, like Super Mario Odyssey and Super Mario Bros. Wonder.

From 3D platformers to the newest versions of Mario Kart, here's every Mario game available on the Switch, as well as upcoming Mario games set to launch on the Switch 2.

How Many Mario Games Are There on Nintendo Switch?

A total of 21 Mario games have been released for Nintendo Switch. This spans from the launch of the system in March 2017 to the present day.

All Mario Switch Games in Order of Release Date

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (2017)

The first Mario game on Nintendo Switch, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, brought together all Mario Kart 8 had to offer on Wii U in one package. The game has gone on to receive a handful of new characters and 48 new tracks through the Booster Course Pass DLC. It is the best-selling title on the Nintendo Switch.

Mario Party Superstars (2021)

One hundred minigames were featured in this release, with returning favorites from prior games. Additionally, Nintendo and NDcube finally opened up online play for all modes.

Mario Strikers: Battle League (2022)

The first Mario Strikers game in more than 15 years, Mario Strikers: Battle League was developed by Next Level Games and released in June 2022. Plenty of new characters and abilities were made, with eight-player multiplayer added as well. The highlight of Battle League is the Strikers Club, which allows you to create clubs with up to 20 other players and take on competing clubs.

Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope (2022)

The sequel to Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope completely revitalizes the combat system.

Super Mario RPG (2023)

Released in late 2023, Super Mario RPG, is a remake of the classic SNES title of the same name. The wacky and colorful title recreates each of the unique characters, environments, and battles with exquisite detail. Even composer Yoko Shimomura returned to recreate the magical original soundtrack with modern orchestration!

Mario vs. Donkey Kong (2024)

Mario vs. Donkey Kong is a remake of the 2004 GBA game of the same name. It's a puzzle-platform game that brings the the Donkey Kong and Mario franchises together once again for entertaining gameplay.

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (2024)

The Nintendo Switch remake of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is the most faithful remake of the original GameCube sequel to Paper Mario that released in 2004. The graphics are upgraded to give the characters and their environments a bigger pop of color, but the comedy threaded into the game's plot remains a classic. It's arguably the best Paper Mario game there has ever been.

Super Mario Party Jamboree (2024)

The third Mario Party game of the Switch generation, Super Mario Party Jamboree is the series' biggest entry to date with 22 playable characters, seven game boards, and over 110 minigames across its various single- and multiplayer modes. Jamboree notably intrdouces the Jamboree Buddies mechanic, which allows you to compete for companions through more complex minigames called Showdowns.

During the April 2025 Nintendo Direct, Nintendo announced that Super Mario Party Jamboree would be one of the select games recieving an enhanced edition for the Switch 2. This enhanced edition is called "Jamboree TV" and will incorporate the Switch 2's mouse, voice, and camera features.

Mario and Luigi: Brothership (2024)

The most recent Mario game isn't just dedicated to one brother: Brothership launched in November as the first mainline "Mario and Luigi" game from Nintendo since 2015's Paper Jam. With a fresh new artstyle, gibberish voicelines, and even some turn-based combat, Brothership lets you take control of both brothers to restore the land of Concordia. And while our Mario and Luigi: Brothership review did say the game "feels designed specifically for ages six to 12 rather than ages six to 66," that could make this game a great gift or entry point for younger gamers.

A new year of college football is arriving soon, and Electronic Arts has locked in a release date for EA College Football 26. Once again, though, the series is sticking to consoles.

EA College Football 26 will arrive on July 10 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S, with a three-day early access period for Deluxe Edition pre-orders starting on July 7.

What's missing is any PC platform, which its predecessor College Football 25 also skipped. Meanwhile, the Madden NFL series will still head to PC via Windows, Steam, and Epic with its upcoming entry Madden NFL 26, and a Switch 2 version is also in the works.

A full reveal for College Football 26 is planned for sometime in May. Meanwhile, pre-order incentives are already being revealed, which include a bevy of bonuses for both the upcoming CFB 26 and the current CFB 25.

EA College Football 26 Deluxe Edition Pre-order Bonuses

Have you won the battle to secure a Nintendo Switch 2 preorder? Well, now it's time to set your sights on the new Pro Controller, which is also available starting today. It's currently orderable via Target, Walmart, Gamestop, and Best Buy for $84.99 with a release date of June 5. Just like the Switch 2 console itself, we expect this item to become much harder to find and possibly more expensive if tariffs go back up, so this may very well be the best opportunity to secure one.

Pokemon TCG Pocket's steady deluge of new cards continues apace, with yet another brand new expansion on its way next week. This one's a biggie, too: it's called Celestial Guardians, and it's themed around Pokemon Sun and Moon.

Celestial Guardians officially releases on April 30, and is a bigger expansion than the last couple, with two different types of booster packs themed around legendaries Solgaleo and Lunala. It primarily features Alolan Pokemon, including the three starters Rowlet, Litten, and Popplio, as well as regional variants such as Alolan Raichu and Marowak. And of course, it comes with new trainer cards, themed around popular characters from the Alola region, and new ways to display your collection such as a new binder cover and display board.

Curiously, the set also appears to include what looks like two versions of the starter trio, a daytime and a nighttime version, each with different stats and abilities. It's unclear how prevalent this split is going to be throughout the set, but it could make for some interesting decks if there are multiple paths to getting the same cards out on the field.

Celestial Guardians is the sixth expansion so far and the third major one, following major expansions Genetic Apex and Space-Time Smackdown and smaller expansions Mythical Island, Triumphant Light, and the most recent, Shining Revelry. At the time this piece was written, none of these expansions have been retired yet, but it's perhaps only a matter of time before we say goodbye to Genetic Apex.

So far, Pokemon TCG Pocket has kept up the pace with roughly one new expansion per month, alongside regular in-game solo and competitive events. Alongside collecting and battling, TCG Pocket also implemented trading earlier this year, but the feature was widely panned due to its high cost barrier and lack of useful trading feature, forcing the developer to confirm changes were on the way... months down the road. Nevertheless, the game has been successful, and is estimated to have made half a billion dollars in less than three months.

Now that Switch 2 preorder chaos has begun across most major retailers, Nintendo fans across the U.S. have been scrambling to secure the new console for themselves. Best Buy, Walmart, Target, and GameStop have had Switch 2 listings up on their websites for weeks, but one retailer has been surprisingly absent from the conversation: Amazon.

Even now as all of the other retailers are running out of stock, Amazon is showing no sign at all that the console or Mario Kart World bundle will eventually become available. At this point in the game, it's starting to seem like maybe it won't be selling Nintendo's new console any time soon.

Will Amazon Eventually Do Switch 2 Preorders?

The main question I've had during this whole Switch 2 preorder bonanza is whether or not Amazon will be doing preorders for the console at all. Seeing as we haven't heard anything from the retailer yet and no listings are available, it would certainly seem that way. However, there are some signs that the Switch 2 will eventually become available there. First up is the fact that Amazon UK already had a batch of preorders back in early April. Of course, it has already completely sold out, but it's a positive sign that preorder listings could eventually arrive in the U.S.

The second positive sign is that while Amazon does not have any console or official Switch 2 accessory preorders available, it does have some game listings. Daemon X Machina Titanic Scion, Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma, and Story of Seasons Grand Bazaar are all currently available to preorder from Amazon. It's also worth noting that all of the other Switch 2 games that are up for preorder at Walmart, Best Buy, and Target – including first-party games like Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza – are noticeably absent from Amazon's list.

When Could Amazon Potentially Have Switch 2 Listings?

Without any confirmation from Amazon, we can only speculate if and when Amazon will have the Switch 2 available. Assuming that Amazon will eventually have Nintendo Switch 2 consoles in stock in the U.S., there are a couple of possible times it could show up. The first is alongside Nintendo's own preorder date of May 8, and the second is when the console actually launches on June 5.

If you've been unable to secure a preorder for yourself from any other retailer yet, I wouldn't recommend holding out hope for Amazon at this point, but we will keep monitoring the situation to see if anything changes. In the meantime, keep an eye out for stock updates on Walmart, Best Buy, Target, and GameStop, and prepare for the Nintendo Store preorders to go live.

IGN can exclusively reveal 12 new character posters for Ballerina, Lionsgate’s upcoming action-thriller set in the John Wick universe.

The posters – which feature stars Ana de Armas, Keanu Reeves and more – can be viewed by scrolling through the slideshow gallery below.

"Ballerina takes place in the John Wick world after the end of John Wick Chapter 3 and before the start of John Wick Chapter 4,” John Wick star Keanu Reeves recently told IGN. “It was so great to have the chance to play John Wick again and discover more of the John Wick world."

While the trailers and some recent interviews have shed light on the plot of Ballerina, there was much that wasn’t known about many of the new characters – until now.

Along with the exclusive posters, we can also reveal the following official character descriptions:

Eve Macarro (Ana de Armas)

Orphaned after her father’s murder, young Eve is taken to the Ruska Roma Ballet School, where she receives training in the art of combat. Her lessons turn her into a lethal assassin – and a formidable agent of revenge.

John Wick (Keanu Reeves)

The titular character in the John Wick Universe. John Wick first crosses paths with Eve during the events of John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum.

Daniel Pine (Norman Reedus)

A new face in the Wick World, Daniel Pine is a figure steeped in mystery. A fateful meeting with Eve and Pine at the Prague Continental sets off an explosive chain of events.

The Director (Anjelica Huston)

The formidable leader of the Ruska Roma who runs the infamous ballet school that doubles as a fearsome assassin training ground. To Eve, the Director is a surrogate mother whose lessons are as unforgiving as the assassin world she must survive.

Winston (Ian McShane)

The iconic manager of the New York Continental. It was Winston who first delivered the young, orphaned Eve into the hands of The Director, arming her with both training at the Ruska Roma Ballet School and a gold coin that would later guide her search for the truth.

Charon (Lance Reddick)

The famously stoic concierge of the New York Continental, and Winston’s right-hand man. Charon provides various services to the assassins who stay at the hotel.

The Chancellor (Gabriel Byrne)

Brutal and domineering, the Chancellor leads an army of cult-like killers. He rules a community of assassins in the Austrian mountains with an iron grip.

Lena (Catalina Sandino Moreno)

Lena is an enigmatic character who reveals herself at the Prague Continental. Coldblooded and businesslike, Lena is part of the Chancellor’s cult of assassins.

Nogi (Sharon Duncan-Brewster)

Nogi is an instructor at the Ruska Roma Ballet School. Fierce yet thoughtful, Nogi shows Eve the ways of an assassin. She teaches Eve to turn her weaknesses into her deadliest weapons.

Dex (Robert Maaser)

Dex is part of the Chancellor’s cult of assassins, a loyal soldier who engages in an epic flamethrower battle with Eve.

Javier (David Casteñeda)

Eve’s father, Javier, saved Eve from certain death when he put up a heroic fight against a squad of assassins sent to kill them both.

Katla Park (Choi Soo-young)

The daughter of the Ruska Roma’s colleague Il Seong. Eve’s first field mission is to protect Katla Park at the lavish Minus Eleven club.

Ballerina is the first movie in the John Wick franchise to not be directed by Chad Stahelski, with Len Wiseman (the Underworld series, Live Free or Die Hard) stepping behind the camera this time. Check out what Wiseman and de Armas had to tell us about Ballerina at CCXP 2024.

Ballerina hits theaters June 6th.

Hulu has been around for a while and, for our money, it's one of the absolute best streaming services available. From great movies like Anatomy of a Fall and Prey to excellent television series like the Golden Globe-winning Shogun, Abbott Elementary, and The Handmaid's Tale there is always something awesome to watch. We've also got the highly-anticipated Alien: Earth series on our radar this year, even though a release date is still to be announced.

Below, we've detailed all of the best Hulu deals and bundles so you can get started on your streaming adventures with its library right away. This includes the Hulu, Disney+, and Max streaming bundle, which starts at just $16.99/month and is currently the best value available for the streaming services following the Disney Plus and Hulu price hikes. To see even more streaming deals, make sure to check out our roundups of the best Disney Plus deals and the best Max deals.

How to Get The Disney Plus, Hulu, and Max Streaming Bundle

The Disney Plus, Hulu, and Max streaming bundle can be purchased on any of the three streaming services and starts at $16.99/month for the ad-supported tier or $29.99/month for ad-free access across all three platforms. If you're looking to cut down on streaming costs and currently own all three of these, this is an excellent bundle to invest in. It'll save you quite a bit compared to what you'd pay for the three of them separately per month - 43% on the ad-supported plan and 42% on the ad-free plan.

Hulu deal for students — Get Hulu (With Ads) for just $1.99/month

If you're a student enrolled in a university (a US Title IV accredited college or university, per Hulu's website), you can sign up for Hulu (With Ads) for $1.99 a month. That's an excellent deal if you're a student, saving you $8 on the usual monthly price.

Hulu subscription tiers

Hulu: Bundle to Best

If you want a more affordable option when it comes to a Hulu subscription, you can't go wrong with a bundle, and Hulu has several to choose from:

• Hulu + Live TV (With Ads) — Hulu + Live TV (With Ads) is $82.99/month and includes Disney+ and ESPN+. It also gives you access to more than 75 channels with live TV and unlimited DVR functionality. The Hulu + Live TV plan also has a three-day free trial to test out the service.
• Hulu + Live TV (Ad-Free) — The ad-free version of Hulu+Live TV is $95.99/month and comes with ad-free versions of Hulu and Disney Plus, although ESPN still shows ads.
• Disney+, Hulu Bundle Basic — This is the most economic bundle. It will set you back $10.99/month and comes with subscriptions to Disney+ and Hulu. It lets you stream on multiple devices at once and comes with ad-supported versions of both Disney+ and Hulu.
• Disney+, Hulu, ESPN+ Bundle Basic — This bundle adds ESPN+ into the mix alongside Disney+ and Hulu, bumping up the price to $16.99/month. You can also download and watch select content on ESPN+ at this level.
• Disney+, Hulu, ESPN+ Bundle Premium — This bundle is $26.99/month and comes with ESPN+ (with ads) and ad-free versions of Disney+ and Hulu. You can also download select content across all three streaming services.

What can you watch on Hulu?

There is a bonkers amount of shows and movies you can watch on Hulu. Let's start at the top and simply talk about the verticals on offer with the base subscription, because if we also talk about what is available via Disney+, ESPN+, or live TV, we'll be here forever. (You can also sync up Hulu with Max to gain access to things like Succession and House of the Dragon.)

Here's what you get:

• Network and Hulu Original television shows (AMC, Adult Swim, ABC, A&E, FX, etc.)
• Movies (HBO, Hulu Originals, anime films, etc.)
• Sports (NHL, Soccer, MLB, Auto Racing, NFL, College Football, PGA, Tennis, etc.)
• News (ABC News Live, Good Morning America, World News Tonight, 20/20, The View, etc.)

Hulu television

Hulu has some amazing shows, both those that are finished and many which are ongoing. For comedy, there are plenty of options to choose from, including New Girl, It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia, What We Do In The Shadows, Modern Family, Cougar Town, Broad City, Abbott Elementary, and so much more.

There are also some big Hulu originals to watch, including The Bear, The Old Man, The Handmaid's Tale, and Only Murders In The Building.

As far as animated fare, there are modern adult classics like Rick and Morty and Bob's Burgers, as well as Futurama, Family Guy, and King of the Hill. Anime staples like Cowboy Bebop are also available. And if you want to bring more youth-friendly fun, Gravity Falls, Steven Universe, Adventure Time, and Curious George are just a small sample of what Hulu has available.

The future of Hulu

Hulu isn't going anywhere. As a matter of fact, beyond it being awarded the best streaming service by us and receiving a 9/10 in our updated Hulu review, it was bought in full by Disney in November 2023 and the House of Mouse has created a one-app experience for those bundling Hulu and Disney+. With an FX partnership, Hulu is also home to those shows, including the latest drama miniseries, Shogun.

Often cited as one of the world's most valuable media franchises, Pokémon is a household name that's been a Nintendo staple since the Game Boy. The beloved series is home to hundreds of amazing creatures you can catch in-game or collect as trading cards, with each new generation bringing loads more to discover. Every console released by Nintendo has had plenty of Pokémon games released for it, and the Nintendo Switch is no exception.

Pokémon Day brought tons of new announcements about what's next for the franchise. Below, we've compiled every Pokémon game that has been released on Nintendo Switch and the information we have on upcoming Pokémon games releasing on the Switch 2.

How Many Pokémon Games Are There on Nintendo Switch?

In total, 12 Pokémon games have been released for the Nintendo Switch. This includes the mainline games for the 8th and 9th Pokémon generations as well as plenty of spinoffs. For the sake of this list, we've counted mainline entries with two versions as a single release. We also don't include the Pokémon games offered through Nintendo Switch Online, but you can check out that list below.

What Pokemon Game Should You Get in 2025?

If you're wondering which game is worth picking up on the Switch in 2025, my recommendation is Pokémon Legends: Arceus. It's not going to give you that OG Pokémon game feeling, but that's what the older generation games are for. Instead, Legends: Arceus introduces more action and RPG elements to the Pokémon series, offering the freshness of open areas to explore, more control over encounters, and plenty of polish for the handheld.

All Pokémon Games on the Nintendo Switch (in Release Order)

Pokkén Tournament DX (2017)

Pokkén Tournament was originally released for the Wii U in 2016. A year later, Nintendo and Bandai Namco prepared a deluxe version of the game for Nintendo Switch, adding new characters and updated visuals to take advantage of better hardware. This three-on-three battle system is a blast to play with friends both in person and online.

Pokémon Quest (2018)

Pokémon Quest turns all your favorite Pokémon into miniature cube form. This free-to-play Switch game features a fun and simple combat system where you send Pokémon on expeditions. Equip different abilities to your Pokémon to handle all types of encounters.

Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! & Let's Go, Eevee! (2018)

Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! & Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee! are remakes of the beloved 1998 Pokémon Yellow. These titles were the first mainline Pokémon games ever to release on a home console, since none made it to the Wii U. Set in the Kanto region, all 151 original Pokémon appear with varying forms from previous mainline installments. With heavy accessibility features, these remakes were a great first step for the series on Nintendo Switch for newcomers and veterans of the series.

Pokémon Sword & Shield (2019)

Pokémon Sword & Shield marked the first installment in the series to feature aspects of an open world. Dubbed the Wild Areas, these regions allowed for free traversal and battles with wild Pokémon. Gyms also made a return for the first time since X & Y. Additionally, Sword & Shield introduced the eigth generation of Pokémon, which included Dynamax and Gigantamax forms of previous Pokémon.

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX (2020)

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX is a remake of the 2005 titles Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team & Blue Rescue Team. Surprisingly, this is the first Pokémon spinoff remake ever, with development handled by Spike Chunsoft. The gameplay consists of completing jobs in different dungeons and unlocking new Pokémon along the way.

Pokémon Café ReMix (2020)

The other Pokémon release of 2020 was Pokémon Café ReMix featuring similar gameplay to other puzzle games like Disney Tsum Tsum, which requires you to connect Pokémon together to solve puzzles. In Pokémon Café ReMix, you and Eevee own a café and must serve the Pokémon who come for food or a little drink. This charming service game is free-to-play via the Nintendo eShop.

New Pokémon Snap (2021)

After more than 20 years, the Nintendo Switch is the console that finally received a sequel to Pokémon Snap. Developed by Bandai Namco, you traverse around different biomes and areas with an on-rails camera to capture pictures Pokémon in the wild. You can unlock new courses by taking good pictures in New Pokémon Snap, leaving for a sizeable amount of content to unlock and discover. You never know what you might find during each session!

Pokémon Unite (2021)

This free-to-play game marked Pokémon's first entry into the MOBA genre. You command and control a team of five Pokémon in head-to-head battles against other players online. There's a solid amount of Pokémon to choose from, so you can adjust your team to best fit your needs. Pokémon Unite went on to be featured in different esports tournaments, with multiple championships held for the game.

Pokémon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl (2021)

Pokémon Brilliant Diamond & Pokémon Shining Pearl are remakes of Pokémon Diamond & Pearl, which originally released in 2006 for the Nintendo DS. As the fourth generation of Pokémon, Diamond & Pearl feature a wide variety of Pokémon to battle against and discover. The remakes feature a new chibi art style that was created to stay faithful to the original titles while still remaining fresh.

Pokémon Legends: Arceus (2022)

Pokémon Legends: Arceus is often praised as one of the best Pokémon games available on the Switch. This original title takes place far in the past, somewhere in the Hisui region. With a focus on exploration, you can freely walk all around the map to capture Pokémon, explore different environments, and so much more. Pokémon can be spotted wandering around all over the map, which requires you to be strategic if you're looking to avoid battle.

Pokémon Scarlet & Violet (2022)

The latest mainline Pokémon games officially kicked off Generation 9, bringing along an entire new approach to gameplay and world design. In Pokémon Scarlet & Violet, an open world awaits with freedom to explore wherever your heart takes you. The DLC pass, titled The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero, is now wrapped up, making it a perfect time to check out Scarlet & Violet.

Detective Pikachu Returns (2023)

One game and one movie later, the sequel to Detective Pikachu is finally available on Nintendo Switch. Tim's father is missing, and it's up to Detective Pikachu to solve the case! This sequel features new puzzles and investigations, where you can investigate scenes and use your notebook to get to the bottom of the mystery. If you're a fan of both Pokémon and mystery games, this is a great game to consider.

Available Pokémon Games With Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack

• Pokémon Trading Card Game

Upcoming Pokémon Games on Nintendo Switch

Pokémon Day 2025 brought some solid announcements about new Pokémon games. Pokémon Legends: Z-A was initially announced last year, though a new gameplay trailer revealed the game's setting in Lumiose City within the Kalos regions. Tepig, Totodile, and Chikorita are familiar starting Pokémon, from Gen 2 and 5, but will be getting new Mega evolutions. "Rooftop parkour" and new battle mechanics also indicate an increased focused on real-time action.

In the April 2025 Nintendo Direct, Nintendo confirmed that Pokémon Legends Z-A will release simultaneously on both Switch systems, with the Switch 2 edition featuring enhanced graphics and better framerates. As far as a release date, "Fall 2025" is all we know for now. We still don't have more release details, even after Switch 2 pre-orders went live, but there are plenty other Switch 2 games you can already find listings for.

Game Freak and The Pokémon Company have also announced Pokémon Champions, a new battle game in the spirit of Pokemon Showdown. Coming to mobile devices and Switch, you'll be able to battle with Pokémon you've trained in other games through the Pokémon Home app.

Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos has claimed that the streamer is “saving Hollywood,” and believes theatergoing is "an outmoded idea for most people."

At the Time100 Summit this week, Sarandos was adamant that, despite production leaving Los Angeles in droves, the drastic downsizing of the theatrical window, the rapid deterioration of the theatrical experience from an audience perspective, and middling box office returns for a number of films, Netflix is the white night of the industry. “No, we’re saving Hollywood,” he explained to the audience at the convention, adding that the streamer is “a very consumer-focused company.”

He added: “We deliver the program to you in a way you want to watch it.”

Sarandos also commented on the downturn of box office sales. “What is the consumer trying to tell us?” he asked rhetorically. “That they’d like to watch movies at home.” Interestingly enough, he also made sure to showcase his love for going to the theater, but not without also downplaying the experience on the whole. “I believe it is an outmoded idea, for most people,” he said. “Not for everybody.”

It should come as no surprise that the CEO of the streaming service to end all streaming services would hold these kinds of opinions. After all, it’s in the company’s best interest to push streaming above cinemagoing.

Hollywood's struggles are well-documented. Family movies like Inside Out 2 and video game adaptations like A Minecraft Movie appear to be propping up the business, with even Marvel movies, once guarateed billion dollar blockbusters, now hit and miss.

But is going to the cinema now old-fashioned? Last year, legendary actor Willem Dafoe said people watch films differently now, at home, rather than at the cinemas, which are closing down. “Which is tragic, because the kind of attention that people give at home isn’t the same,” Dafoe said.

“More difficult movies, more challenging movies can not do as well, when you don’t have an audience that’s really paying attention. That’s a big thing. I miss the social thing of where movies fit in the world. You go see a movie, you go out to dinner, you talk about it later, and that spreads out. People now go home, they say, ‘Hey, honey, let’s watch something stupid tonight,’ and they flip through and they watch five minutes of 10 movies, and they say, forget it, let’s go to bed. Where’s that discourse found?”

Back in 2022, acclaimed filmmaker Steven Soderbergh shared his thoughts on the future of movie theaters and how cinema habits could continue to live on in the age of streaming. He said that while there's "still an appeal," the industry's future lies in convincing young audiences to keep attending as they grow older.

Soderbergh, who is known for his Ocean's Eleven series amongst many other Hollywood hits, considered how movie theaters and streaming services can continue to coexist. He identified programming and engagement as two key areas that need careful consideration in order to keep the cinema-going experience alive.

"I think people still want to go out," Soderbergh said, acknowledging the reasons behind taking a trip to the box office. "There's still an appeal to seeing a movie in a movie theater. It's still a great destination. And it really depends, I think, on our ability to attract, to convince the older audiences to continue to come out [...] It has nothing to do with windowing [the term for the amount of time left between theater and home releases]."

Supermassive Games, the studio behind horror adventures like Until Dawn, The Quarry, and The Dark Pictures anthology series, has reportedly ceased development on an unannounced Blade Runner game.

As reported by Insider Gaming, Supermassive was working on a "character focused, cinematic, action adventure" game about the last Blade Runner in 2065, called Blade Runner: Time To Live. The story would have allegedly followed a vintage Nexus-6 model named So-Lange, under orders to retire the leader of an underground replicant network, who gets betrayed and left for dead in a harsh environment, with gameplay broken up into stealth, combat, exploration, investigation, and dramatic character interactions.

Insider Gaming reported that Blade Runner: Time To Live had a full development budget of "roughly" $45 million, including $9 million earmarked for external performance capture and acting talent. The report claimed it had a 10-12 hour single-player story, began pre-production in September 2024, and would have been planned for a September 2027 launch on PC and both the current and next generation of consoles.

Via Insider Gaming's report, the game allegedly fell apart due to an issue with Alcon Entertainment, which owns the rights to Blade Runner, and the project was cancelled sometime late last year.

In the summer of 2023, publisher Annapurna Interactive announced it would be developing its first in-house game, based on the Blade Runner franchise, titled Blade Runner 2033: Labyrinth. It was billed as the first Blade Runner game in 25 years. We have heard or seen nothing since.

Supermassive Games has been juggling several projects, including the next entry in the Dark Pictures series Directive 8020 and development on Little Nightmares 3. The studio announced it was laying off workers last year, around 90 per Bloomberg's Jason Schreier, as it was entering a "period of consultation."

Meanwhile, Supermassive's Until Dawn has a movie arriving in theaters this weekend. You can check out our review of David F. Sanberg's adaptation of Until Dawn for the silver screen here.

You season 5 is now streaming on Netflix.

If You has taught us one thing, it’s that appearances can’t be trusted. Just like Joe Goldberg (Penn Badgley) is a psychotic creep masquerading as a tortured poet, this show is a sordid soap opera masquerading as a high-minded drama. Its fifth and final season reveals the tensions between these warring personalities more than it resolves them. There’s some campy fun to be had, but You drags as it attempts – unsuccessfully – to wrestle with its own unserious treatment of some gravely serious subject matter.

After bringing his freak show back to New York, Joe’s good name, identity, and relationship with his son are all restored – so long as he plays the dutiful husband to his wife, corporate heiress Kate (Charlotte Richie). Unfortunately, this homicidal serial cheater who prefers his women helpless is not the man for that particular job. Temptation arises when business rivals threaten to ruin Kate’s reputation and Bronte, a down-on-her-luck writer played shrewdly by Madeline Brewer, appears in Joe’s old bookshop.

Season 5 hits all the expected plot points: Wealthy weirdos stir the pot, savvy civilians dig into Joe’s past, and Joe performs Olympics-level mental gymnastics. After quashing what little conscience he had in season 4, Joe is excited to embrace every side of himself, and to find a woman who will truly accept his darkness. As he scrambles to justify his own existence, it’s easy to see his dilemma reflected in that of the show’s. As it draws to a close, You wants to be both a salacious, sexy thriller and a self-aware, feminist drama. But this show is not savvy enough to balance those conflicting aims, just like Joe can’t have his girlfriend and kill her, too.

This friction is especially present whenever Bronte spouts off meta comments about the dark romance genre (to which You arguably belongs) or we get a glimpse of Joe’s latest novel, about a male vampire who stalks his beloved. It would be nice if these gestures felt genuine. Instead, these stabs at relevance are as desperate as Joe’s sanctimonious personal politics or the scripts’ use of internet slang like “delulu.” Such self-reflection is bound to ring hollow in a show where the protagonist has been getting away with murder for four straight seasons yet continues to be depicted in a romantic light. Badgley’s charm may be the backbone of this show, but season 5’s Joe is simply too squeaky-clean.

That’s not to say that our current cultural fascination with male violence isn’t a problem, or worthy of deeper examination – it’s just that such high-brow, nuanced takes are not what a show like You is for. You has always been schlock. Elevated schlock, with beautiful camerawork and excellent acting, but schlock nonetheless. We’re talking about a show where, in season 5, all-star scenery-chewer Anna Camp (of Pitch Perfect and True Blood fame) gets to play identical twins.

But rather than playing to its silly strengths, the final season draws attention to You’s long-term shortcomings. Because let’s be real, the You formula – handsome psycho poetically narrates his obsessive love for a woman, only to ruin or end her life – had an expiration date, and it was somewhere around Joe killing Love in season 3. The writers seem to realize this, because Joe spent all of season 4 reckoning with his monstrous tendencies, but season 5 brings us back to the same old song and dance. It’s hard to stay interested in a thriller where the villain has no real match, particularly when we’re spending so much time in that villain’s head. Joe believes he can talk his way out of anything, and he’s too often right. Perhaps this is getting at how some real-life abusers manage to evade meaningful consequences, but it makes for taxing television. When season 5 eventually diverts from Joe’s tired perspective, it feels far too little, too late.

By the end, this once vibrant thriller feels like an exercise in exhaustion. Sure, the writers know how to keep your interest from one episode to the next, but it’s hard not to end the series feeling unsatisfied. At the end of a show that revels in murder and domestic violence, all of the nastiness feels pointless. For a series propelled by long-winded narration, the disappointing truth about You is that it doesn’t actually have very much to say.

When Should I Buy an Xbox?

In general, it is advisable to keep an eye out for sales and restocks throughout the year, as availability has improved since the initial launch of the console. Unlike the Nintendo Switch, there is no specific recommendation to wait for a sale regardless of the time of year. Instead, it's a good idea to monitor various retailers and online platforms for restock announcements and promotional offers.

However, certain events like Black Friday or other holiday seasons may bring about unique bundles, discounts, or promotional deals specifically for the Xbox Series X. These bundles may include additional games, accessories, or exclusive limited editions. While quantities for such promotions might be limited, they can provide an opportunity to get more value for your purchase. See our guide to Xbox Series X prices for more info.

Xbox Series X or Xbox Series S?

Choosing between the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S ultimately depends on your gaming preferences, budget, and specific requirements. Let's compare the two consoles to help you make an informed decision:

1. Performance: The Xbox Series X is the more powerful option, offering native 4K gaming, higher graphical fidelity, and faster loading times. It has more advanced hardware, including a larger storage capacity. On the other hand, the Xbox Series S targets a lower price point and offers a less powerful performance, targeting 1440p resolution gaming and upscaling to 4K.

2. Price: The Xbox Series S is more affordable compared to the Xbox Series X. If budget is a significant factor for you, the Xbox Series S provides a cost-effective option while still delivering a next-generation gaming experience. For example, the Series S can play Starfield at 1440p 30fps (vs 4K 30fps on Series X).

3. Storage: The Xbox Series X comes with a larger internal storage capacity, allowing you to store more games directly on the console. The Xbox Series S, however, has a smaller storage capacity, which means you may need to manage your game library more actively or rely on external storage solutions.

4. Disc Drive: The Xbox Series X includes a disc drive, enabling you to play physical game discs and enjoy a wider range of media options, including Blu-ray and DVD playback. The Xbox Series S, in contrast, is a digital-only console, meaning you can only play games downloaded from the digital store.

5. Graphics and Performance: While both consoles support ray tracing, the Xbox Series X provides a more immersive and visually impressive experience due to its superior hardware capabilities. If you prioritize cutting-edge graphics and want the best performance available, the Xbox Series X is the preferable choice.

Consider your gaming preferences, budget, and whether you prioritize top-of-the-line performance or cost-effectiveness. If you have a 4K TV, want the most powerful console, and are willing to invest more, the Xbox Series X is the recommended option. If you have a lower budget, a 1080p or 1440p TV, and don't mind sacrificing some performance, the Xbox Series S offers excellent value for money.

We've got great deal roundups available for all major platforms such as Switch and Xbox, and keep these updated daily with brand new offers.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered’s shadow-drop release on April 22 took the internet by storm, but indie developers who planned to launch their game on that same day were left reeling.

Jonas Antonsson, co-founder of indie publisher Raw Fury, took to social media to explain how “massive” shadow-drops from huge games like The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered can cause everything else coming out at the same time to get “buried.”

“I loved (when younger) and still absolutely love Oblivion and I’m personally excited to see it get a breath of new life and being introduced to a whole new generation of players,” Antonsson began.

“But from the perspective of indies and indie publishers, this is the problem with these sort of massive shadow drops. Everything more or least gets buried. We don’t have the cash nor muscle to throw around, so everything is carefully planned. Including when to release, based on other releases etc - to try to maximize the chances of getting attention.”

Antonsson then pointed to Red Soul Games’ Post Trauma, which Raw Fury published on April 22. It’s a puzzle horror game inspired by PS2 era classics where you “navigate environments, tackle threats, and meet other lost characters in the depths of the Gloom.”

“Love the game that dropped but feel the pain for our team and especially the developer we’ve worked with for years - who has poured his heart and soul into his game,” Antonsson said.

Raw Fury had tweeted sarcastically on April 22: “Thank god Post Trauma was the only notable release of today and nothing else happened!”

From Bethesda and parent company Microsoft’s point of video, the Oblivion Remastered shadow-drop has been a big success. The game enjoyed an impressive start on Steam, and it’s dominated online discussion as players celebrate the return of funny character faces, old bugs, and memes.

Even other games Microsoft itself has pushed hard in marketing terms are running up against Oblivion Remastered. This week, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 publisher Kepler Interactive acknowledged the 'Barbenheimer' energy of releasing the same week as Oblivion Remastered. Both games launched straight into Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.

As for Raw Fury, when it set the Post Trauma release date it couldn’t have known Oblivion Remastered was waiting to steal the show. It may gone down as just one of those things.

We've got a comprehensive guide to everything you'll find in Oblivion Remastered, including an expansive Interactive Map, complete Walkthroughs for the Main Questline and every Guild Quest, How to Build the Perfect Character, Things to Do First, every PC Cheat Code, and much more.

It’s fair to say the debut Predator: Badlands trailer has sparked a discussion among fans of the long-running sci-fi movie franchise. Amid debate about the new-look Yautja that appears to be the protagonist this time around, there is also excited talk about various Easter eggs that very much look like they’re setting up an Alien tie-in.

First up, we see Elle Fanning’s character appear to ‘reboot.’ Her eyes do the Weyland Yutani reboot Andy's do in Alien: Romulus, suggesting she may be a synthetic. We even see the Weyland Yutani logo on her eyes when this creepy change happens. Weyland Yutani is of course the evil megacorp at the heart of the events of the Alien franchise.

The original Tron has a particularly interesting place in pop culture, delivering the first movie about video games and the hidden worlds within computers. So it's a wonder that the first film and its follow-ups still haven't made that many forays into video games proper after more than four decades since the 1982 original. Thankfully, recent attempts from developer Bithell Games have done more to push the concept of Tron beyond just the imagery of speeding light cycles and fast-paced identity disc combat to offer more of a look into the inner machinations of the Grid.

With Tron: Catalyst, we have a new action game set within The Grid's neon, grey-soaked setting to uncover a larger conspiracy involving the impending end of the computer world. There's so much detail to admire that's packed into Tron: Catalyst from my recent hands-on time, and with an interesting time-loop twist, it carries on the familiar Tron action from a new perspective.

Set after the events of both Tron: Legacy and Tron: Identity, you play as a courier program named Exo, who navigates the large megacity of the Arq Grid to complete her various routines. After discovering one of their packages was secretly a bomb which detonates while in the city, they're subsequently framed and imprisoned. As she plans her escape, she discovers glitches in the Grid that allow her to roll back time, letting her take information and skills backward in the timeline to a recent point. With a plan set, she seeks out the real culprit of the attack to clear her name and foil a larger plot that will disrupt the foundations of the Arq Grid.

The previous Tron game that Bithell Games worked on was Tron: Identity, a visual novel-style adventure game. Catalyst carries many concepts from its predecessor, particularly its investigation and character interactions. Exo even rubs shoulders with some notable returning characters from Identity – such as the previous protagonist Query. However, Catalyst moves away from the static presentation of the visual novel and into fully explorable environments populated by programs, making sense of the uneasy presence of security programs patrolling the city.

In a similar vein to games like Death's Door and Tunic, Tron: Catalyst has a balance between narrative-driven exploration and combat sequences within the larger city. As Exo, you'll be able to interact with a set of other programs going about their time in the town, and when the investigative element kicks in, she can engage in combat, exploration, and rolling back time to overcome the odds.

The combat style in Catalyst does well to capture the sense of precision and patience when using the iconic identity discs, which double as a close-range melee weapon and a long-range projectile that can depress enemies. The combat mechanics, while fairly simple during this opening chunk of the game, offered some fun when it came to carefully taking out squads of security officers. A particularly fun moment I had was nailing a parry and then unleashing some strikes before throwing the disc to finish them off. That said, I am hoping for the combat to really open up properly as the story goes on, as the action sequences can feel a bit one-note after some time.

While exploring the city, Exo can summon her lightcycle to explore and whizz through the streets freely. But with the increased presence of Grid security, Exo is constantly under watch and can easily catch their attention, which launches a GTA-style manhunt for her. While you do have the run of the city, Catalyst is not an open-world game but rather uses its scale to present the different layers of exploration for its missions. Still, exploring the city on the lightcycle was very satisfying, especially taking in those slick Tron vibes.

Much like Identity, Catalyst is propped up by impressive writing that gives nuance to the various characters living in the Grid. As the investigation escalates, opening up new pathways to complete objectives, you can rewind to an earlier point to take a more optimal approach. These moments gave me the same feeling of being Tom Cruise in Edge of Tomorrow, where I could do certain actions to learn some secret motives from characters holding back intel, or gain the upper hand in combat.

Tron: Catalyst certainly nails the look and feel of Tron, and it particularly captures the brighter and more visually alluring style of 2010's Tron: Legacy. But what I found interesting about Catalyst's style and storytelling was that its plot and focus on the inner society of the Grid scratch the same itch as the vastly underrated and short-lived series Tron: Uprising, which dealt with a similar storyline about programs within the Grid seeking to overcome an oppressive rule.

So far, Tron: Catalyst is an intriguing step in a different direction from Identity. While the latter game featured strong writing and plot, it lacked a more compelling package to contain its ideas, and I do like this upcoming turn with Tron: Catalyst that Bithell Games has in store. It's more of a stylish, if modest, action game, but seeing Exo maneuver through the city and fight through the different battles reminded me of some of the more daring moments from the films and animated series. It's always fun to see Tron showcase its rich and alluring world, which will build up throughout Catalyst's dive into the world of the Grid.

Amazon has restocked the Pokémon TCG: Journey Together Booster Bundle, and even though it’s up a dollar from its recent drop, it’s still the best value for this set on the market by far.

At $38.95, you get six booster packs from Scarlet & Violet: Journey Together, which, based on my pulls, is easily one of the most exciting expansions we've had in a while.

Journey Together Single Card Price Crash

Journey Together single card prices are settling down from their pre-restock panic, making this set very affordable to collect. Don't fancy spending money on packs for your chase cards? I've gathered them all right here so trainers can cherry pick what they need.

I opened 49 packs across all our preview products for my IGN Journey Together preview, and pulled 18 rare cards. Compared to sets like Prismatic Evolutions, feels downright generous. But it’s not just about quantity. The art and theme choices in Journey Together are incredible.

You’ve got illustration rares with full-scene designs that feel like storybook pages, Secret Rares with actual competitive value, and Supporters that do more than just draw cards and pass the turn.

Some of my favorites include the Spiky Energy Hyper Rare, which adds reactive damage every time your Pokémon gets hit, and Iono’s Bellibolt ex, a Lightning-type engine that fuels itself with unlimited Energy.

I also pulled N’s Reshiram and Articuno in gorgeous Illustration Rare formats — two cards that not only look great but bring real utility. Salamence ex is a heavy hitter with 300-damage potential, and Lillie’s Clefairy ex quietly punishes Dragon decks by giving them a surprise Psychic weakness. It’s not every day a booster pack feels like a mini narrative, but this set pulls it off.

For over two decades, the LEGO and Star Wars partnership has endured and thrived. It is nothing if not consistent; the sets are geared toward every skill level, from beginner to advanced, and all of the sets – even the most rudimentary – are reliably high-quality. The massive ship and droid replicas get the most press. But even the more idiosyncratic sets – like the movie dioramas, for example – still capture the look, feel, and whimsy of their inspirations.

TL;DR: These Are the Best Star Wars LEGO Sets

LEGO Harry Potter faces a unique challenge, because the Warner Bros. media universe, upon which it is based, is limited – just eight core movies, the last of which debuted 14 years ago. The Fantastic Beasts films also take place in the Potter universe. But those films are divisive at best, and for the last one, Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore, LEGO didn't create any corresponding LEGO sets – a first for what has been, to this point, a successful partnership.

But in 2024, the LEGO designers injected new life into the Potter franchise, embarking on their most ambitious multi-year project to date – a brand-new, fully realized recreation of Hogwarts Castle. LEGO is releasing the minifigure-scaled model piecemeal – one building at a time – beginning with the new Great Hall and Boathouse.

TL;DR: These Are the Best LEGO Harry Potter Sets in 2025

For Nintendo fans in Japan, April 24, 2025 is a big day — with Nintendo set to reveal just who has been lucky enough to get the chance to snap up a Switch 2 via official My Nintendo Store pre-orders. But not only was Nintendo forced to shut down the My Nintendo Store website for maintenance due to too much traffic, it also issued a warning about phishing emails mimicking official Switch 2 pre-order lottery results.

Back on April 2, Nintendo started accepting applications for a Switch 2 pre-order lottery in Japan. Winners of the lottery would be able to purchase a Switch 2 from My Nintendo Store, to be delivered at launch on June 5.

According to Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa’s message yesterday, around 2.2 million people in Japan entered the first Switch 2 presale lottery. This demand far exceeded the company’s expectations, meaning that many entrants will have their hopes of obtaining the console on launch day dashed.

With results of the first Switch 2 presale lottery coming out today, it seems that many people rushed to access Japan’s My Nintendo Store, forcing Nintendo to take the site offline for maintenance. Scammers also took advantage of this Switch 2 fever by sending out fake lottery results.

Japanese speaking users on X also warned others, sharing screenshots of fraudulent emails and identifying several variations of the scam. At first glance, the subject line announcing “You have won the Switch 2 lottery” would likely have had many Nintendo fans jumping for joy.

The example emails either demand that the user click on a LINE messenger app link or pay the money today via a suspicious-looking url, and urge the user to act now to secure their coveted new console. It seems the phishing attempts range from more obvious emoji-riddled fakes to more sophisticated attempts with smaller errors like misspellings of Nintendo in email addresses, and non-Japanese URLs.

The official warning from the Japanese Nintendo Support account states: “Although we plan to send out the lottery result emails today (April 24), we have not sent them yet. Please be aware that any such emails that you have received up until now were not sent by Nintendo.”

In the U.S., an update on release-day delivery was published on Nintendo’s website warning those who’d registered their interest in buying a Switch 2 from My Nintendo Store that it could not guarantee delivery by the June 5 release date.

As a result, invitation emails may arrive after the Switch 2 comes out. However, Nintendo said it will confirm your shipping date upon purchase. Nintendo is now saying you may have a better chance of getting a Switch 2 at launch by pre-ordering at a third-party retailer — a concerning suggestion given Switch 2 has already sold out following pre-orders going live overnight.

The struggle fans had to pre-order Switch 2 on April 24 coupled with this warning from Nintendo suggests the next-gen console will be very hard to buy at least in and around launch.

According to a FAQ posted to Nintendo’s website, the first batch of invitations will go out starting May 8, 2025 for the My Nintendo Store in the U.S. Additional batches of invitation emails will then be sent “periodically” until purchasing on My Nintendo Store is opened to everyone.

Initial invitation emails will be delivered on a first-come, first-serve basis to “eligible registrants who meet the priority criteria.” Invitees will have 72 hours from the time when the email is sent to complete their purchase.

Nintendo Switch 2 pre-order invitation priority requirements:

• you must have been the one who purchased any Nintendo Switch Online membership
• you must have had any paid Nintendo Switch Online membership for a minimum of 12 months, and
• you must have opted in to share gameplay data and have at least 50 hours total gameplay hours.

With the Alien and Predator franchises now under the Disney umbrella, Marvel Comics has taken full advantage of the crossover opportunities. We've already seen bloody crossovers like Predator vs. Wolverine and Predator vs. Spider-Man. Now, IGN can exclusively reveal the latest and most blood-soaked Predator/Marvel crossover yet - Predator Kills the Marvel Universe.

This new series reunites Predator vs. Spider-Man writer Benjamin Percy and artist Marcelo Ferreira. In fact, Predator Kills the Marvel Universe serves as the culmination of Percy's overarching Predator Vs. saga. Having claimed Wakanda's vibranium and turned Earth into a hunting preserve, a Predator King will begin hunting Earth's heroes and villains en masse. Don't expect them all to survive this bloodbath.

Until Dawn opens in theaters Friday, April 25.

In David F. Sandberg’s lackluster Until Dawn, the horror game of the same name is transformed into an awkward hybrid of Groundhog Day and The Cabin in the Woods. This is far from a “two great tastes that taste great together” miracle: Unlike the source material, this movie doesn’t successfully unite various flavors of onscreen terror as much as it haphazardly smashes them together. That smashing can occasionally be a glorious, bloody, body-exploding blast, and there are plenty of moments where Sandberg, working again with Annabelle: Creation cinematographer Maxime Alexandre, stokes our anticipation for something horrible to leap out of the darkness. It’s nearly everything else – the painfully one-note performances, the clunky dialogue, the increasingly ineffective scares – that drags Until Dawn into a bottomless pit of its own making.

Most notably, this is a strange blend of wholesale reimagining and direct adaptation. The movie lifts some key elements from the game – including Peter Stormare as a menacing figure lurking in the shadows – while jettisoning its snowy setting, array of generically horny teens, and playfully cheeky tone. The loss of this last part is what makes Until Dawn unshakably strange: Without the goofiness, what we have here is a generic horror movie with the high-concept twist of five friends trying to survive endless variations on the same terrifying night. Sure, there are some gags, but none clever enough to cut through the shallow backstory of troubled Clover (Ella Rubin) searching for her missing sister. Where the flawed-yet-fun game gets its kicks from toying with scary-movie clichés, this self-serious adaptation only rarely feels like it’s in on the joke.

That’s not for lack of trying. Early on, as Clover and some superficially written friends drive through the rain and into the mysterious valley where they’ll soon be trapped, one of them points out that the car is the safest place they could be. The rest of the passengers then yell at him – a vehicle full of Randy Meeks types who know such hubris can only lead to a smiting from the horror gods. Maybe they’re right: Until Dawn is plenty mean-spirited and wrathful towards its characters, though these joyously macabre moments are too fleeting to inform the movie the way Randy’s horror-movie “rules” shape Scream.

In lieu of meaningfully skewering the tropes, Until Dawn leans into them, or worse: When the gang realizes they’re in a time loop, they allude, but don’t directly refer, to other movies with similar premises. (Best not to invite a bunch of unflattering comparisons.) As they try to figure out how to escape their predicament, Until Dawn becomes less of a strong horror movie in its own right and more like an amusement-park haunted house. Each room may be themed around a different classic of the genre, but they’re pale imitations of the real things.

Though each night is meant to be different from the last, there are a number of overlaps: A masked killer makes frequent appearances, and there’s a vain attempt at some connective tissue in the form of a flimsy, dead-end supernatural subplot. A shift into found footage clumsily tries to catch us up on some nights we don’t see in full, while the introduction of a psychological-mystery thread over-explains the monsters Until Dawn carries over from the game. But these are mere acts of re-creation, granting no additional insight into all the different methods and techniques filmmakers have dreamed up to give us nightmares. They don’t do much to give us a better sense of Clover’s plight – and they’re not all that scary, either. Sadly, you won’t find any brains or a beating heart amid Until Dawn’s abundant gore.

Sandberg is still a solid director, so he’s able to squeeze some fright from the shaky material fellow Conjuring Universe veteran Gary Dauberman and The Invitation screenwriter Blair Butler have handed him. Until Dawn ends with a tease for a sequel that seems closer in spirit to the game, which means he could very well get his very own do-over. Fingers crossed that movie isn’t as timid and indecisive as this one, which always feels like it’s being pulled in two different directions. One involves half-heartedly referring back to the game, reducing it to a collection of Easter eggs. The other points toward an original (albeit highly derivative), unrelated idea that’s coasting on Until Dawn’s name recognition. In the end, neither is the way to safety or horror-movie immortality for poor Clover.

With The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered going down well with fans, thoughts are now turning to which Bethesda game is set for the remaster treatment next. And with many speculating Fallout 3 is coming (it was leaked back in 2023), how might Bethesda improve upon its 2008 post-apocalyptic role-playing game?

Bruce Nesmith, one of Fallout 3’s designers, has pointed to the game’s “not good” gun combat, which he expects Bethesda would improve significantly for a remaster.

Speaking to VideoGamer, Nesmith said Fallout 3 Remastered would have shooting more in-line with that of Fallout 4.

“What did you see in Fallout 4? That will tell you what they felt was necessary to change from Fallout 3,” Nesmith said.

“I know in Fallout 4 there was a lot of work done on the gun combat, because Fallout 3 is the first time they ever tried to do a shooter-style game. And, well, I think the work that was done was amazing.”

Oblivion Remastered, developed by remake specialist Virtuos using Unreal Engine 5, has a long list of visual and feature improvements. It runs at 4K resolution and 60 frames per second, as you'd expect, but other changes are more meaningful. Everything from the leveling systems to character creation, and combat animations to in-game menus have been improved. Meanwhile, there's lots of new dialogue, a proper third-person view, and new lip sync technology. The changes are going down well with fans, some of whom believe Oblivion Remastered would be more accurately described as a remake. Bethesda, however, has explained why it went down the remaster route.

Nesmith said Fallout 3 Remastered would probably include improvements and changes along similar lines to Oblivion Remastered.

“[Fallout 3 combat] didn’t hold up to shooters at the time,” he said. “Also, it’s an RPG shooter, it’s not a run-and-gun shooter. But a lot of work was done on that for Fallout 4. So I anticipate seeing a lot of that work go into it, assuming they’re doing the same thing.”

“Oblivion wasn’t just brought up to the 2011 version of Skyrim,” he added. “It was brought up to something that, at least on the surface, looks like it exceeds the most recent graphics update in Skyrim.” Nesmith has said The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is so impressive it could be called “Oblivion 2.0.”

It’s a busy time for Bethesda, which is working on The Elder Scrolls VI and, maybe, more Starfield. Throw in remasters and ongoing work on Fallout 76 and the Fallout TV show, which is heading to New Vegas for Season 2, and fans are in for a treat in the coming years.

We've got a comprehensive guide to everything you'll find in Oblivion Remastered, including an expansive Interactive Map, complete Walkthroughs for the Main Questline and every Guild Quest, How to Build the Perfect Character, Things to Do First, every PC Cheat Code, and much more.

Whilst looking out for new preorders on the Nintendo Switch 2, the console-maker has surprised us by suddenly making its official Switch 2 GameCube Controller available for general preorders, no longer requiring you to have an exclusive invite from Nintendo.

Nintendo has confirmed the cost of upgrading two more Switch games from the OG Switch edition to the Switch 2 Edition, Kirby and the Forgotten Land and Super Mario Party Jamboree — and it's not cheap.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom cost $9.99 each to upgrade from the original Switch 1 game to the Switch 2 Edition, but NintendoLife spotted that both the Kirby and the Forgotten Land and Super Mario Party Jamboree upgrades cost more than double that each.

Nintendo Switch 2 Enhanced Edition of Breath of the Wild comes with improved visuals and performance, achievements, as well as support for the new "Zelda Notes" service in the Nintendo Switch Online app. If you already own Breath of the Wild on the Switch, you won't get those features automatically, but you can purchase an "upgrade pack" for $10 to access them.

The Switch 2 Edition of Kirby and the Forgotten Land’s Star-Crossed World has new story content. Super Mario Party Jamboree’s Switch 2 Edition comes with a new suite of content called Jamboree TV that takes advantage of the Joy-Con 2 mouse controls, Switch 2 microphone, and the Switch 2 USB-C camera that will be sold separately. Along with upgraded resolution up to 1440p in TV mode and better frame rate, there are new minigames and online functions as well.

While we don't yet have U.S. prices on the American Nintendo eShop — possibly due to the uncertainty with President Trump's tariffs — the UK Nintendo eShop shows the Kirby and the Forgotten Land upgrade pack on sale for £16.99 / €19.99, more than twice the £7.99 / €9.99 charged to upgrade either Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom.

It's the same price for the Super Mario Party Jamboree – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition ＋ Jamboree TV upgrade. That suggests the price will be $19.99 in the U.S.

A $20 upgrade price for both games may have to do with the shock $80 cost of both Kirby and The Forgotten Land - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Star Crossed World, and Super Mario Party Jamboree - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV. Both games' OG Switch versions are $20 cheaper, priced $59.99 each.

Here's how much Nintendo Switch 2 Edition games cost in the U.S. for those not upgrading:

• Kirby and The Forgotten Land - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Star Crossed World - $79.99
• The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition - $69.99
• Super Mario Party Jamboree - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV - $79.99
• The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition - $79.99

As a reminder, both Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom upgrade packs are also available for no extra cost to Nintendo Switch Online and Expansion Pack subscribers. At the time of writing, however, there is no similar offer for players hoping to upgrade Kirby or Party Jamboree.

Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders went live earlier today, April 24, with the price still fixed at $449.99 — and they went about as well as you'd expect. Meanwhile, Nintendo has just issued a warning to U.S. customers who applied for a Switch 2 pre-order from the My Nintendo Store, saying release date delivery was not guaranteed due to very high demand.

The inevitable Switch 2 release-day delivery warning from Nintendo to its U.S. fans is finally here, after the company said it would struggle to meet demand in Japan.

An update on release-day delivery was published on Nintendo’s website warning those who’d registered their interest in buying a Switch 2 from My Nintendo Store that it could not guarantee delivery by the June 5 release date.

As a result, invitation emails may arrive after the Switch 2 comes out. However, Nintendo said it will confirm your shipping date upon purchase.

“Thank you to those of you who have already registered your interest in purchasing from My Nintendo Store,” Nintendo’s statement read.

“We're thrilled by the enthusiasm for Nintendo Switch 2! Due to the very high demand, we will be working diligently to fulfill orders as product becomes available, but delivery by June 5 is not guaranteed. Your invitation email may arrive after the Nintendo Switch 2 launch. We'll confirm your shipping date upon purchase.”

Nintendo is now saying you may have a better chance of getting a Switch 2 at launch by pre-ordering at a third-party retailer — a concerning suggestion given Switch 2 has already sold out following pre-orders going live overnight.

“If you wish to increase your opportunity of obtaining a Nintendo Switch 2 system at launch, please visit our participating retail partners above,” the statement said, pointing to a GameStop link (Switch 2 is currently sold out at GameStop).

“If you wish to continue waiting for your invitation from My Nintendo Store, no further action is required after registering your interest.”

The struggle fans had to pre-order Switch 2 on April 24 coupled with this warning from Nintendo suggests the next-gen console will be very hard to buy at least in and around launch.

Earlier this week, Nintendo issued a warning to its customers in Japan, saying a “significant” number would miss out on pre-ordering a Switch 2 direct from the company.

In a statement issued to X / Twitter, Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa said the company had seen 2.2 million people in Japan alone apply for a pre-order of the Switch 2 from the My Nintendo Store. This “extremely large number of applications… far exceeds our expectations, and far exceeds the number of Nintendo Switch 2 consoles that can be delivered from the My Nintendo Store on June 5,” Furukawa explained.

According to a FAQ posted to Nintendo’s website, the first batch of invitations will go out starting May 8, 2025 for the My Nintendo Store in the U.S. Additional batches of invitation emails will then be sent “periodically” until purchasing on My Nintendo Store is opened to everyone.

Initial invitation emails will be delivered on a first-come, first-serve basis to “eligible registrants who meet the priority criteria.” Invitees will have 72 hours from the time when the email is sent to complete their purchase.

Nintendo Switch 2 pre-order invitation priority requirements:

• you must have been the one who purchased any Nintendo Switch Online membership
• you must have had any paid Nintendo Switch Online membership for a minimum of 12 months, and
• you must have opted in to share gameplay data and have at least 50 hours total gameplay hours.

Last week, Nintendo announced that Switch 2 pre-orders would begin in the U.S. on April 24, 2025, and that the original price of $449.99 and launch date of June 5 would remain the same. Alongside the base console price remaining the same, Nintendo confirmed the Switch 2 + Mario Kart World bundle would remain at $499.99 and pricing for both the physical and digital versions of Mario Kart World ($79.99) and Donkey Kong Bananza ($69.99) would not change at launch. But Nintendo raised the price of Switch 2 accessories amid the ongoing tariff turmoil.

Nintendo had originally planned on opening pre-orders for Switch 2 on April 9, but it made the decision to delay them as it needed time to "assess the potential impact of tariffs and evolving market conditions."

Nintendo Switch 2 preorders are officially now live in the US. If by some miracle you navigated the preorder chaos and secured the bag, you'll probably want some games to play on launch day as well.

To help you on your quest, we've done the hard work and collected every Switch game available to preorder from today, with all the retailer links you’ll need just below.

Thankfully, Switch 2 is already building up a fairly stacked library of upcoming games, with a slew of new exclusives and a handful of upgraded re-releases.

Heavyweights like Donkey Kong Bananza ($69.99) and Mario Kart World ($79.99) are leading the charge, both available to preorder right now, alongside enhanced versions of Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, fine-tuned for the new hardware.

There's also a new version of Mario Party Jamboree and Kirby and the Forgotten Land currently up for preorder, alongside some new third-party selections like Cyberpunk 2077 and Sonic X Shadow Generations.

Where To Preorder Switch 2 Games

PSA: Don’t expect everything to drop on day one, June 5. Some titles are launching with the console on June 5, but others are lagging behind.

Donkey Kong Bananza doesn’t hit shelves until July 17, and big names like Metroid Prime 4: Beyond and Pokémon Legends: Z-A are still missing from preorder listings entirely, on both Switch 2 and the current model.

For those after some new Switch 2 accessories, we've also go you covered. If you want to spec out your brand-new system with the new Joy-Con 2, Switch 2 Pro controllers, a camera, and more, today is the day to add to basket.

How Much to Upgrade Switch Games to Switch 2 Edition?

Nintendo has quietly confirmed the cost of upgrading two more Switch games from the OG Switch edition to the Switch 2, Kirby and the Forgotten Land and Super Mario Party Jamboree — and they're not cheap.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom will cost $9.99 to upgrade from the original Switch 1 game to Switch 2, but Nintendo Life and Eurogamer have spotted that both Kirby and the Forgotten Land and Super Mario Party Jamboree will cost more than double that.

While we don't yet have precise U.S. prices on the American Nintendo eShop — possibly due to the confusion with President Trump's tariffs — the UK Nintendo eShop shows the upgrade pack on sale for £16.99 / €19.99, more than twice that of £7.99 / €9.99 charged to upgrade either Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom.

Switch 2: Game-Key Cards?

It has recently emerged that almost all physical third-party Nintendo Switch 2 games in Japan revealed so far are Game-Key Cards, and it looks like a similar situation in the West.

In the US, Sega's Switch 2 games are Game-Key Cards, such as the listing for Sonic X Shadow Generations, or Yakuza 0: Director’s Cut.

In fact, we’ve so far found just four third-party physical Switch 2 games that aren't Game-Key Cards: Cyberpunk 2077, Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion; Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma; and No Sleep For Kaname Date - From AI: THE SOMNIUM FILES Aiba Edition.

Switch 2 Game Previews

IGN recently went hands on with two of the biggest upcoming Switch 2 games, Donkey Kong Bananza, and Mario Kart World. Both are up for preorder from today, but here's what Brian Altano and Logan Plant had to say about the highly antipated launch titles.

Donkey Kong Bananza: "I also think Bananza is on track to be one of the most gorgeous Nintendo games I’ve seen. It really does take advantage of Switch 2's hardware – the environments are beautiful and DK’s animations are wonderfully expressive, and I left feeling like the next generation of first-party Nintendo games had truly arrived."

Mario Kart World: "Mario Kart World feels like the definitive Switch 2 launch game and will certainly be one of the defining games of the Switch 2 generation. The new open world format and Knockout Tour modes are massive new additions to the franchise, the visuals are gorgeous, the gameplay is a blast, and we can’t wait to play more, even if we wish it was a few bucks cheaper."
