Go Behind the Scenes With Mondo's Jaws 50th Anniversary Collection

It's often said that Jaws created the modern summer blockbuster movie. However, one thing the original film didn't create was a huge merchandising empire. Jaws hit theaters in 1975, a couple of years before Star Wars really cemented the idea of bombarding fans with action figures and various other collectibles. Even 50 years later, there's an almost surprising lack of Jaws-themed toys and collectibles on the market. That's something Mondo set out to change with its Jaws Capsule Collection, a line of exclusive collectibles that includes vinyl records of the iconic John Williams score, a new poster, and a very cool vinyl figure of Bruce the shark.

You can check out the Jaws Capsule Collection on Mondo's website, though do note that many of the items are timed exclusives that will no longer be available for sale after July 18 at 9am PT.

IGN had a chance to chat with several of those involved with the Jaws Capsule Collection, including Mondo's Mondo Sr. Director, Creative and Product Development Hector Arce, Sr. Creative Director, Art Peter Santa-Maria, concept artist James Groman, and sculptor Brandon Gnash. Read on to see exclusive behind-the-scenes photos of Mondo's Jaws Vinyl Designer Figure and learn more about how the figure and Danny Haas' poster were created.

The Origin of the Jaws Vinyl Designer Figure

Again, there aren't a lot of Jaws figures and collectibles out there (though other companies like NECA and McFarlane Toys have certainly been doing their part in recent years). Arce explains that Mondo wanted to create a vinyl toy that could both serve as a replica of the iconic "Bruce" shark design while still have the stylized feel and the fun factor that vinyl collectors tend to expect.

"The main thing we set out to do here was make this an undeniable Jaws figure," Arce tells IGN. "It had to have tons of easter eggs, capturing big moments in the film like when the shark busts through the cage, the barrels, and even found a way to represent most of his victims! The challenge was combining all these elements, having it still feel true to the original design while having fun with it. We reached out to the amazing James Groman with our idea and he really turned it into a fun concept that was both a high end collectible, and something that would look killer on your shelf, but also including a fun play factor when it comes to all of Jaw’s victims body parts and what not being able to be placed in and out of his mouth."

Arce continues, "The stylization really lends to those grotesque moments in the film that feels a bit more whimsical, something that as a Jaws fan would make you smile if you saw it. In addition to all that, we made it a truly customizable figure, allowing fans to display him in a multitude of ways, perfect for whatever floats, or, uh, sinks their boat in this case.”

While the exaggerated proportions mean this isn't a 100% movie-accurate collectible, Arce reveals that Mondo's designers did consult the original model and reference materials from the film to ensure that all the finer details are there. The goal is to create something that doesn't just look like a great white shark, but specifically the movie villain who's haunted our nightmares for the last 50 years.

"Even though this is a stylized piece, we wanted to make sure the landmarks were there, Arce says. "The shark isn’t just your average great white. I think some artists and companies forget that. Bruce is the result of so many engineering choices and honestly limitations that led to a design that can easily be picked out of a shark lineup. I always look to the cheeks and, well, jaws to see if it feels like the shark in the film. When we got that dialed in, we knew we were on our way!”

Once the Jaws Capsule Collection was greenlit, it fell on Groman to create a concept design for the vinyl figure and Gnash to translate that design into three-dimensional reality.

“[This was] major milestone in my 40+ year career," Groman says. "Jaws is one of my favorite films ever, so naturally I threw myself into it hook, line and sinker. This unique collectible is an amalgam of many of the film’s most thrilling moments all happening at once. Being such a 'student' of the film, I loved working with Hector Arce on nailing down everything we wanted this figure to be. Something great for ourselves, and something great for the fans.”

“James Groman is on my Mt. Rushmore is a legendary artist in the toy industry," Gnash says. "To sculpt from his designs is always an honor and I have to pinch myself each time I get projects like this. The pressure is always on to not just translate into 3D what James has designed but also pay tribute to the property to which he put his own personal spin on. Its a challenge to pull off both but its beyond rewarding to get James's feedback and the response from the Mondo team when I get it right.”

The Challenge of Creating a New Jaws Poster

The new Jaws movie poster created its own set of challenges. Put simply, the original Jaws poster painted by Roger Kastel might be the most iconic movie poster ever created. It casts a massive shadow over everything that's come since. And given that Mondo's artists have lent their own takes to Jaws several times already over the years, it's no small task to create a new design worthy of the film's 50th anniversary.

Even so, Haas seems to have suucceeded with his new design, one that shows a massive Bruce emerging from the sea to devour the puny Orca. Santa-Maria explains that he had two goals in mind when commissioning this piece - "classic and contemporary."

“Roger Kastel’s original artwork for the classic Jaws poster is so iconic and influential that it felt wrong to not refer to it for the 50th anniversary," Santa-Maria says. "The spirit at Mondo is about creating original interpretations of these classic films and franchises but always acknowledging that we are standing on the shoulders of giants when we do. This was a daunting task, but I knew that turning to my friend and storied artist, Danny Haas was the right move because his style is built on strong composition and striking color palettes that allow the subject matter to take center stage. All I asked was that he create something that felt classic and contemporary (easy enough, right?). Danny created a beautiful piece that is a nod back to the original where the shark is preparing to breach the surface of the water but in this case, he already has! AND his stylistic use of scale reflects the enormity of the task shared by the Orca’s crew; I couldn’t be prouder of it.”

In other Jaws news, the film was recently rereleased as a 50th anniversary 4K steelbook set. You can also see where Jaws falls on IGN's Top 25 horror movies list.

Valve Pulls 'Adult Only' Games From Steam as It Tightens Rules to Appease Payment Partners

Valve is tightening its guidelines around 'adult only' content to satisfy rules set by Steam's payment processing partners, with dozens of sexually explicit games removed from the platform throughout the week.

As spotted by GameSpark and shared by Automaton, SteamDB logs show a flurry of activity behind the scenes as Steam updated its 'Rules and Guidelines' policy, making it clear that publishing "certain kinds" of adult-only content could violate them.

The newly added clause 15 of the policy now explicitly states "content that may violate the rules and standards set forth by Steam’s payment processors and related card networks and banks, or internet network providers" shouldn't be posted on Steam.

The X / Twitter account for SteamDB revealed a long list of pornographic games recently delisted from Steam.

This is possibly related to PayPal because people in certain regions have not been able to use it to pay on Steam for the past five days.

Perma link to list of removals from the store: https://t.co/Vy44Q0hVGN

— SteamDB (@SteamDB) July 16, 2025

It follows a public outcry earlier this year when UK technology secretary Peter Kyle slammed Steam for hosting a sexually explicit visual novel in which the protagonist engaged in non-consensual sexual contact, including rape and incest. Developer Zerat Games eventually announced it would voluntarily withdraw the visual novel after it was removed from sale in the UK, Canada, and Australia.

However, Valve's new guidelines were criticized by some who have expressed concern over censorship and the vagueness of Valve's language around its rules.

Earlier today, we reported on Valve co-founder and boss Gabe Newell, who offered a rare insight into his days living, working, and enjoying life on a superyacht he calls a "boat."

Nintendo May Have Handled Switch 2 Preorders Differently in Japan and the U.S. Due to Varying Perceptions of Fairness, Japanese Study Suggests

Why did Nintendo offer Switch 2 preorders through a lottery system in Japan, but via “first-come, first-served” invites in the U.S. and other countries? A paper published by a Japanese university this month sought to answer this question, looking into why Nintendo decided to handle Switch 2 presales differently in Japan and the U.S. One of the factors it examined was the differences between what is perceived as “fair” in Japan and the U.S., which may have influenced Nintendo’s approach to getting its latest console into the hands of gamers.

The study was a collaboration between researchers at The University of Osaka’s Research Center on Ethical, Legal and Social Issues (ELSI Center) and Mercari’s R&D Department. It’s worth noting that Nintendo was not involved in the study.

First of all, the researchers looked at the points that both the Japanese and U.S. launches had in common, namely supply and demand. In both markets, there were not enough Switch 2 consoles to meet pre-launch demand, a situation that prompted both Nintendo Japan’s president and Nintendo of America’s COO to make respective statements reassuring fans that the company would produce a steady flow of units to meet demand post-launch.

The study pointed out that in such a short-supply, high-demand situation, Nintendo could have capitalized on the limited number of Switch 2 consoles available. For example, by using dynamic pricing or official auctions, Nintendo could have maximized its profits from their new hardware by making Switch 2 only available to those who were willing to pay big bucks (or heaps of yen) for a launch day console (thus balancing out demand and supply).

However, Nintendo did not go with this method. After all, for console makers the usualy focus is not on making money from hardware sales, but on the long-term profits from game sales and subscription services related to that console. Nintendo’s approach to handling official Switch 2 preorders suggests it was more concerned about purchasers’ “willingness-to-play” rather than “willingness-to-pay.”

To enter Nintendo’s Switch 2 preorder lottery in Japan, you needed to be a holder of a current Nintendo account for at least a year and to have over 50 hours of play on Switch 1. The same restrictions were in place for Nintendo of America’s invitation emails, which were delivered to eligible registrants who met these criteria, giving them 72 hours to complete their purchase. In this way, Nintendo allocated its limited supply to consumers who were likely to want to use rather than resell their shiny new Switch 2. Nintendo took this a step further in Japan, working with online marketplaces to combat price gouging and fraudulent Switch 2 listings.

However, why did Nintendo choose to implement a “first-come, first served” pre-order system in the U.S. but opted for preorder lotteries in Japan? The paper presents several hypotheses that cover various factors that may have influenced Nintendo's decision. These center around the company’s reputational risk, as well as perceived cultural and societal differences in the two different markets.

If customers have bad experiences with a console launch, this can negatively impact the reputation of the company and subsequent profits. Although it seems Nintendo was conscious of appearing fair in its handling of Switch 2 launch consoles in both Japan and the U.S., with its restrictions that limited preorders to its existing “willing to play” customer base, the paper highlighted that it took extra steps to appear “fair” in Japan.

Even though lotteries are more costly to run, Nintendo decided to offer Switch 2 preorders using this method in Japan. The researchers pointed out that Japanese consumers tend to have high expectations that companies will implement a well-managed system that gives people an equal chance of obtaining a high-demand product. Lotteries are often used for presales in Japan (for example, advanced concert ticket sales are usually allocated via lottery). Therefore, Nintendo probably implemented a lottery system because it's a socially accepted and common way of handling presales in Japan, and gives all entrants the same chance of snagging a Switch 2.

The paper also suggested that cultural perceptions of “fairness” may also have played a role. Whereas Japanese customers might be more likely to find the equality of lotteries more fair, customers in the U.S. may have perceived ‘first come first served’ as fairer as it rewards the efforts of the individual.

Over a month after launch, Nintendo Japan is still only selling Switch 2 via lottery on its official site, with its July lottery currently open. There are still some restrictions: one entry per person, with the rules forbidding people who have won previous Switch 2 lotteries and people who aim to resell the console from entering. However, this pattern is changing in retail stores. Japanese chain Geo announced that it will start offering some Switch 2 consoles to members on a first-come, first-served basis on July 19. So it seems that Japan may move towards “first-come, first-served” as the Switch 2 console supply increases.

First Harry Potter Set Photos Feature Series' Young Star and the Dursleys, as HBO TV Series Films at London Zoo

The first set photos showing filming of HBO's Harry Potter TV series have hit the internet, giving fans a look at the series' young star and his Muggle family, the Dursleys.

Filming took place this week at London Zoo, the setting of a key scene in the first Harry Potter book where Harry (now played by Dominic McLaughlin) magically frees a snake and sets it loose on his spoiled cousin Dudley.

The images are our first look at Dudley (Amos Kitson), Aunt Petunia (Bel Powley) and Uncle Vernon (Daniel Rigby) in costume, wearing notably dated clothes. Dudley is dressed in a shellsuit, while Vernon wears a patterned shirt and thick glasses, while sporting a bushy moustache.

The characters' looks fit with the original setting of the books, with Dudley's 11th birthday being in June 1991, a couple of months before Harry goes off to Hogwarts for the first time.

While the original Harry Potter novels were launched from 1997 onwards, the series' story is set a few years prior. The events of the final book wrap up in 1998, before a flashforward epilogue featuring the main characters as adults with their own children, set in 2017.

London Zoo guests got a close-up look at the cast as they were filmed while wandering around various exhibits. The zoo setting will likely be one of the first book/season's only scenes to be filmed in public, with the bulk of the action due to be shot on the series' vast base of operations at Warner Bros. Leavesdon Studios.

Indeed, it's there that a real-life school with room for up to 600 young cast members is now being constructed, as production ramps up.

FIRST LOOK AT THE DURSLEYS pic.twitter.com/1mIHKsJv5P

— Wizarding World Direct (@WW_Direct) July 17, 2025

Warner Bros. and HBO's plan is to turn each Harry Potter book into its own TV season, and film the series for the next eight to 10 years. The first season is due to air in 2027.

HBO marked the beginning of the series' filming this week with the release of a photo showing Dominic McLaughlin as Harry Potter in his Hogwarts robes. This was then followed by a first look at Shaun of the Dead star Nick Frost in costume as Hagrid.

Yet to glimpsed in costume are veteran actor John Lithgow as Albus Dumbledore, Janet McTeer as Minerva McGonagall, Paapa Essiedu as Severus Snape, Paul Whitehouse as Argus Filch and Katherine Parkinson as Molly Weasley.

Valve Boss Gabe Newell Says He's Been Retired in a Sense for a 'Long Time,' but in Reality Works 7 Days a Week From His Bedroom on His Boat Because He's Having So Much Fun

Valve co-founder and boss Gabe Newell has offered a rare insight into his life, talking about his days living, working, and enjoying life on a "boat."

In conversation with a YouTuber called Zalkar Saliev, who had just 19 subscribers at the time the interview clips went live (they've since acquired several hundred more), the 62-year-old Newell said he worked seven days a week from his bedroom on his superyacht, because it's "fun" and he still "likes working."

Asked to describe his daily routine in an interview Valve has confirmed to PC Gamer is real, Newell said: "I get up, I work, I go scuba diving, work some more. I either go on a second scuba dive or I go to the gym and work out. Then I work. I live on a boat, so I just hang out with everybody on the boat."

"I work seven days a week," he added. "I'm working from my bedroom, as you can tell. I like working. It's fun. To me, it doesn't feel like work. The kinds of things that I get to do every day are super awesome. I've said it before, but when you retire, you want to stop doing your horrible job and then go do what is most fun and entertaining. And so in that sense, I've been retired for a long time."

Expanding on the types of work that keep him busy these days, Newell said: "Getting to work with Drew and Jeremy on AI stuff or Chris on Steam stuff... In one of the companies, we're working on an aerosol pathogen detection device so you can see all the pathogens that are in the air. Brain computer interfaces are incredibly cool, and all of the associated neuroscience is incredibly cool. So, I just work all the time.

"But it's not like, 'Oh my God, I'm up late at night slaving away on stuff.' It's more like I can't go to sleep because I'm having fun, you know?"

Valve, the studio behind seminal hits like Half-Life, Left 4 Dead, Dota 2, and Counter-Strike, is also the company behind the industry-leading Steam online game platform, plus the acclaimed Steam Deck handheld system. As of 2021, it employed 336 people across its hardware, Steam, and development divisions.

Newell previously worked at Microsoft, where he helped create the first versions of the Windows operating system, but left in 1996 to found Valve with Mike Harrington and develop the studio's first game, Half-Life.

New Alien: Earth Trailer Finally Shows an Alien on Earth — and Something Terrible Happening to a Sheep's Eye

A new Alien: Earth trailer has finally shown a xenomorph on earth — and there’s a quite horrible shot of a sheep with a serious eye problem.

The upcoming FX show revolves around the mysterious deep space research vessel USCSS Maginot, which crash-lands on earth. Wendy (Sydney Chandler) and a group of tactical soldiers make a “fateful discovery” that puts them face-to-face with the xenomorph fans know well, but also a number of other alien species, too.

FX’s Alien: Earth. OFFICIAL TRAILER 2: GREENER WORLD. Prepare. Before it’s too late. Premieres August 12. pic.twitter.com/8KfO4Yr3N0

— 20th Century Studios Canada (@20thCenturyCA) July 17, 2025

Let’s start with the final shot in the new trailer, below, which reveals Alien: Earth’s xenomorph quietly contemplating its fate from within what may be a crater formed by the crashed ship. This is not the kind of place we’re used to seeing the Alien franchise’s famous xenomorphs. Across the mainline films, we mostly see xenomorphs ripping humans (and the odd synthetic) to shreds aboard spaceships. Alien: Earth, however, asks the question: what if a xenomorph came to earth? I suspect things won’t go well.

The xenomorph is but one of five alien monsters found aboard the Maginot. We’ve seen glimpses of these in previous trailers, including the bizarre plant-like alien we see again in this new promo. But the focus this time is on a creepy eyeball-loving monstrosity that appears to be having its way with a poor sheep. The sheep is hooked up to what looks like a monitoring device, so perhaps it was the subject of some nefarious study to determine the effect this new alien has on its victims.

We actually see a very brief shot of this alien later in the trailer, where a woman is desperately trying to fend it off. It looks like the alien is trying to get into the woman's eye, which, well, please no.

Overall, it’s a super cool trailer for Alien: Earth, which is looking more impressive with each new clip. How this all ends up tying into the events of the first Alien movie and evil mega corp Weyland Yutani’s plans for the xenomorph is anyone’s guess.

Speaking of Weyland Yutani, at this point in the Alien timeline (Alien: Earth is set in 2120, well after Prometheus and just two years before Alien and the unfortunate events that befell the crew of the Nostromo), Earth is governed by five corporations: Weyland-Yutani, Prodigy (they own this city, it seems), Lynch, Dynamic, and Threshold. Cyborgs and synthetics coexist with humans, but then the boss of Prodigy invents hybrids (humanoid robots with human consciousness). Wendy is the first hybrid prototype, and is part of the established push for immortality that is a running theme in the Alien franchise.

Alien: Earth cast:

  • Sydney Chandler (Wendy)
  • Timothy Olyphant (Kirsh),
  • Alex Lawther (Hermit)
  • Samuel Blenkin (Boy Kavalier)
  • Babou Ceesay (Morrow)
  • Adrian Edmondson (Atom Eins)
  • David Rysdahl (Arthur Sylvia)
  • Essie Davis (Dame Sylvia)
  • Lily Newmark (Nibs)
  • Erana James (Curly)
  • Adarsh Gourav (Slightly)
  • Jonathan Ajayi (Smee)
  • Kit Young (Tootles)
  • Diêm Camille (Siberian)
  • Moe Bar-El (Rashidi)
  • Sandra Yi Sencindiver (Yutani)

Alien: Earth premieres its first two episodes on August 12 on Hulu at 8pm ET, and on FX and Disney+ at 8pm PT / ET (August 13 in the UK and internationally on Disney+). New episodes of the eight-episode season debut each following Tuesday.

In January last year, showrunner Noah Hawley explained why he is not using the backstory provided in Prometheus for Alien: Earth, saying he likes the "retro-futurism" of the original films. Hawley said he spoke to Alien chief Ridley Scott about "many, many elements" of the Alien series, including its ties to the prequels, but ultimately decided to cut loose and move away from the bioweapon backstory because he preferred the lore of the original films.

With Less Than a Year Until GTA 6, Rockstar Finally Launches GTA 5 and GTA Online in Saudi Arabia and UAE

As the world waits for Grand Theft Auto 6, Rockstar has finally released GTA 5 and GTA Online in both Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Despite launching almost 12 years ago and selling 215 million copies elsewhere in the world, neither Saudi Arabia nor the UAE had previously cleared Rockstar's 2013 blockbuster for sale — until this week.

Issues over the game's age rating and local regulations banning games with violence, sex and drug use have long stood in the way of local fans playing GTA 5 legally — though as a Niko Partners report highlighted, some fans have previously got around restrictions by quietly importing boxed copies, or downloading the game via PlayStation or Xbox accounts linked to other regions.

Now, fans can simply buy a copy of GTA 5 legally, which has finally been released under the two countries' new 21+ age rating. The launch of this higher age restriction, following the earlier introduction of localised age ratings in 2016, has helped smooth GTA 5's belated path to release — alongside a bit of help from Rockstar parent company Take-Two Interactive to grease the wheels.

A recently-agreed partnership between Take-Two and a Saudi firm, the Advanced Initiative Company, will see the latter now act as the local distributor for all Take-Two titles, including GTA 5, WWE 2K, NBA 2K and Red Dead Redemption.

The countries, with a combined population of around 44 million, will presumably now also become a market in which Rockstar can sell GTA 6, when it finally arrives.

After more than a decade in development and a recent major delay, GTA 6 is currently set to launch on May 9, 2026, pending any further hold-ups.

Captain Planet and the Planeteers Live-Action Series in the Works at Netflix — and Leonardo DiCaprio is Involved

Hands up if you remember Captain Planet and the Planeteers? The early 90s American animated environmentalist superhero television series is fondly remembered by a generation of kids who absorbed its eco-friendly message — and toys.

Now, 30 years later, it’s coming back as a live-action series for Netflix.

Variety reported that Captain Planet and the Planeteers is on its way to being adapted into a live-action series at Netflix, with Greg Berlanti and Leonardo DiCaprio as executive producers. Netflix declined to comment.

There have been various efforts to adapt Captain Planet over the years, including a movie for DiCaprio, but they never went anywhere. This Netflix adaptation, however, feels more certain, although we know nothing of plot details, casting, or a release window.

The original television series, Captain Planet and the Planeteers, is an environmentally conscious show that tells the story of five kids from different areas of the world who are each given a magical ring that grants them the ability to control a specific element. When all five join forces, they can summon an environmental superhero named Captain Planet.

Captain Planet was a form of edutainment that advocated the United Nations as an organization, and the concepts of globalism, multiculturalism, and environmentalism.

Tomb Raider Composer Jailed For 'Fraudulently Obtaining' UK Government COVID-19 Loans

Peter Connelly, a composer and sound designer best known for his work on the Tomb Raider series, has been jailed for "fraudulently obtaining" a loan from the UK government during the COVID-19 pandemic.

In a statement from the UK's Insolvency Service, Durham-based Connelly was said to have obtained a legitimate $29,500 (£22,000) government "Bounce Back" loan, and then again a month later for $50,000 (£37,500) at a different bank, even though businesses were only entitled to one such loan. Connelly was also found to have "deliberately inflated" his company's financial position during the first few months of the pandemic in 2020, reporting a turnover of $201,500 (£150,00) in 2019 when it was, in fact, $77,900 (£58,00).

In interviews with the Insolvency Service, Connelly stated that he had been given the opportunity to reimagine the music for the Tomb Raider soundtrack, describing it as a "significant project which had the potential to be very lucrative." He reportedly took out personal loans and sold his car to finance the work, but that "stalled" at the start of the pandemic. By August 2021, Connelly's company, Peter Connelly Limited, had gone into liquidation.

At a Durham court yesterday, July 17, the composer was sentenced to 16 months in prison and disqualified as a company director for six years.

"Peter Connelly blatantly disregarded the rules of the Bounce Back Loan Scheme, designed to support small and medium-sized businesses during the pandemic," said David Snasdell, chief investigator at the Insolvency Service, the organization responsible for tackling Bounce Back Loan misconduct.

“Connelly not only secured two loans when businesses were only allowed one, but deliberately inflated his company’s turnover to receive more money than he was entitled to."

While at original Tomb Raider developer Core Design, Connelly worked in sound design on Tomb Raider III: Adventures of Lara Croft and later as a leading composer for Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation and Tomb Raider: Chronicles. 2003's Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness, which Connelly co-wrote with Martin Iveson, featured the London Symphony Orchestra.

After Core, Connelly went on to work on the likes of 2011's Driver: San Francisco at Ubisoft Reflections, Watch Dogs, The Crew, South Park: The Fractured But Whole, and, most recently, 2023's Dead Island 2.

Nintendo Confirms Return of Mysterious Switch Online: Playtest Program — Now Compatible with Switch 2

The mysterious Nintendo Switch Online: Playtest Program will once again take place later this month, now compatible with Switch 2.

Nintendo has said this playtest will be another outing for the "same service" it previously shared with a select few fans in October 2024 — then, of course, just on the original Switch.

While applications to participate are open to all Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscribers, numbers will be limited — to just 40,000 players globally — and the test's contents are once again designed to be kept secret. (Though, of course, details of the hush-hush software previously spilled online last year anyway.)

Applications to take part in the playtest either as an individual or group open later today, and can then be submitted next Monday, July 21 to Wednesday July 23. If you're lucky enough to be picked, the playtest itself will then be available from Tuesday, July 29 to Monday, August 11.

Entrants must be over 18 years old and have an active Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership, with an account tied to either the US or Canada, UK, Japan, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Brazil or Mexico.

Nintendo's website with application details once again makes clear the company's desire for secrecy:

"We request that you do not discuss or disclose content from either the Nintendo Switch Online: Playtest Program test software or website with others," the company states. "If you participate as a group, you may communicate and exchange information as long as it remains within the bounds of your group."

We will perform another test in the #NintendoSwitchOnline: Playtest Program. From 8:00 AM PT on July 21st, Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack members can apply to participate on a first-come, first-served basis.

During last year's playtest, Nintendo used copyright strikes to see screenshots of its secret software scrubbed from social media. But, of course, some evidence of the playtest still exists — and it's pretty easy to find via a quick search on reddit.

So what is it that's being tested? Widely compared to a Nintendo take on Minecraft, the experiential game allows users to pick up and assemble blocks to create structures in specific areas of a shared world, alongside other users. The gameplay footage that briefly appeared online last year appeared work-in-progress, as you'd expect, but suggested Nintendo was keen to explore the concept further with actual players and see what people got up to.

While this latest test looks to be for the same software, it will be intriguing to see what new features are included — if, or rather when, new footage leaks once again.

CBS Cancels The Late Show With Stephen Colbert Just 3 Days After Colbert Called Parent Company Paramount's $16M Trump Settlement a 'Big Fat Bribe'

CBS has canceled The Late Show with Stephen Colbert just a few days after Colbert criticised the network’s parent company, Paramount, for its high-profile settlement with President Trump.

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert ends in May 2026 and The Late Show will retire entirely after a 33-year run in what CBS insisted was a “purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night.”

The news hit just days after Colbert criticised Paramount for settling a lawsuit with Donald Trump for $16 million over the president’s claim that CBS News deceptively edited an interview with the then-presidential candidate Kamala Harris.

And it’s also worth noting that the settlement, and the announcement of the end of The Late Show, come amid Paramount’s bid to get its $8.4 billion merger with Skydance Media over the line (this is the same merger that’s causing South Park so much trouble). The transaction needs regulatory approval from the Trump administration, and Trump is often the butt of Colbert’s jokes.

Colbert, who has hosted the show for the last decade, called the settlement “a big fat bribe" during an episode aired earlier this week. He announced the cancelation during Thursday night’s recording. “Yeah, I share your feelings,” he said amid boos from the audience. “It’s not just the end of the show, it is the end of The Late Show on CBS. I’m not being replaced, this is all just going away.”

The announcement sparked criticism from various quarters online. Senator Adam Schiff, a Democrat who appeared as a guest on Thursday night’s show, later took to social media to say: “If Paramount and CBS ended the Late Show for political reasons, the public deserves to know. And deserves better.”

On the show, Schiff said Trump had created a "climate of fear."

“He wants to make the law firms afraid,” Schiff said. “He wants to make universities afraid. He wants to make immigrants afraid. He wants to make citizens afraid. He wants to make news organizations, CBS and Paramount afraid. He wants to make ABC afraid. And he is succeeding.”

Senator Elizabeth Warren, who has called for an investigation into Paramount Global’s relationship with Trump over the Skydance merger, wrote: “CBS canceled Colbert’s show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump — a deal that looks like bribery. America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons.”

CBS canceled Colbert’s show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump – a deal that looks like bribery.

— Elizabeth Warren (@SenWarren) July 18, 2025

Fellow talk show host Jimmy Kimmel expressed support for his peer in a post on Instagram, saying: "Love you Stephen. F*ck you and all your Sheldons CBS."

Here’s the prepared joint statement from George Cheeks, co-CEO of Paramount Global and President and Chief Executive Officer, CBS, Amy Reisenbach, President, CBS Entertainment, and David Stapf, President, CBS Studios:

“This is purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night. It is not related in any way to the show’s performance, content or other matters happening at Paramount.

“Our admiration, affection, and respect for the talents of Stephen Colbert and his incredible team made this agonizing decision even more difficult. Stephen has taken CBS late night by storm with cutting-edge comedy, a must-watch monologue and interviews with leaders in entertainment, politics, news and newsmakers across all areas. The show has been #1 in late night for nine straight seasons; Stephen's comedy resonates daily across digital and social media; and the broadcast is a staple of the nation’s zeitgeist.

“The accomplishments of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert are memorable and significant in performance, quality and stature. With much gratitude, we look forward to honoring Stephen and celebrating the show over the next 10 months alongside its millions of fans and viewers.”

  4. Enter your code here and press the Redeem button to get your rewards.

Why Isn't My Flashpoint: Worlds Collide Code Working?

There are two main reasons why a code usually doesn't work in any Roblox game and the same goes for this experience:

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

If a code has been entered incorrectly or has expired, you'll see a message that says, "Not an active code!" To stop this from happening, we recommend copying and pasting the code directly from this article. We check and test each code before we add them to our article. However, when copying them, you can sometimes accidentally include an extra space somewhere. This is why you should always double-check that there aren't any additional spaces!

Where to Find More Flashpoint: Worlds Collide Codes

We'll update this article when new codes are added so you can always check back here and keep up-to-date with the latest codes. Flashpoint: Worlds Collide has its own dedicated Discord server where codes are announced, as well as game updates. Certain codes may require going to specific YouTuber channels to find them as well.

Flashpoint: Worlds Collide is a Roblox experience that revolves around Flash from the DC Universe. Players can speed through the city as their own avatar or wear one of many outfits as they fight criminals and earn money doing it.

As you stop crimes, you'll gain experience so you can upgrade your skills and become faster. Which you'll need to do if you want to beat other players in races where speed is all that matters. Or you can put more of your skill points into stats like health and damage so you're an even stronger crime fighter. Become the super hero that you want to be.

  5. Enter the code then press confirm to redeem it for your rewards!

Why Isn't My GHOUL://RE Code Working?

If you find your GHOUL://RE codes aren't working, it's usually for one of two reasons. Firstly, lots of codes for Roblox experiences are case-sensitive, so you'll need to make sure you're putting it in correctly. The best way to do this, is just to copy it over directly from this article. Be mindful about including extra spaces accidentally, though!

Alternatively, it might just be the case that a code has expired and it's time the rewards are no longer available. Whether a code has expired, or has just been pasted in incorrectly, it will say "this code does not exist."

How to Get More GHOUL://RE Codes

We're always on the lookout for more codes, so we'd recommend coming here each day to see if there's more GHOUL://RE codes that have dropped. If you'd rather do the searching yourself, you can head over to the dedicated Discord Server for GHOUL://RE and browse for them there.

What is GHOUL://RE in Roblox?

GHOUL://RE is an open-world PVP experience based on the popular anime Tokyo Ghoul. You can choose to join either the CCG or the Ghoul factions, each with their own weapons and abilities. If you choose to join the CCG in this battle of survival, you'll be taking down Ghouls, but if you choose to be one of them, you'll play as a creature able to consume others. It's not all fighting, though, as you'll also need to complete missions, which you can pick up from the Mission Boards. Participate in events, open loot boxes, earn currency, and craft weapons to survive.

DOORS Codes (July 2025)

Need some free goodies to help brave the horrors lurking throughout DOORS? We’ve got your back. Below, you’ll find all the DOORS codes currently available in Roblox's popular horror game in July 2025, so you can boost your chances of survival without breaking the bank.

Active DOORS Codes (July 2025)

Here are all of the currently active and working DOORS codes for July 2025:

  • SCREECHSUCKS - 25 Knobs

Expired DOORS Codes (July 2025)

Below, you'll find a list of DOORS codes that are expired and no longer work as of July 2025:

  • 1000
  • SIX2025
  • 5B
  • THEHUNT
  • 4B

How to Redeem DOORS Codes

To redeem DOORS codes, boot up the game and, once you’re in, follow the steps below:

  1. Look at the row of icons on the bottom of the screen
  2. Click on the store icon to access the shop tab.
  3. At the top of the tab, you’ll see the codes bar. Input your code here, being careful to make sure it’s in the right case and spelt correctly.
  4. Click the tick icon and you should see the resources you unlock appear at the bottom of the screen.

Why Isn’t My DOORS Code Working?

If your DOORS code isn’t working, it’s likely due to one of two scenarios. The first is that the code was inputted incorrectly. Make sure you have the code inputted exactly as it is in the Active Codes section above. You can even copy and paste codes directly from this article over to Roblox if you want to make sure you’re inputting them correctly.

The other possibility is the code has expired or you’ve already used it. If you’ve used it, you’ll get a message below the bar reminding you the inputted code has already been redeemed. If you’ve inputted it and it doesn’t recognise the code at all, it likely means it's no longer available to use and is expired.

How to Get More DOORS Codes

If you’re looking to scout out some DOORS codes yourself, the easiest way is through the game’s official Discord. After joining, you’ll be able to hop into the doors-announcements channel to find all the latest codes as they drop.

You can also follow the game’s official X channel, where you’ll sometimes get new code drops straight from the creators.

What is DOORS in Roblox?

DOORS is a cooperative survival horror game where you’re tasked with entering haunted buildings and progressing as far as possible. Along the way, you’ll go head-to-head with a series of supernatural threats, working with your teammates to proceed past them unscathed while banking treasure and other loot. The goal is to make it as far as possible while collecting cash and door knobs to make your next run easier. So, how long can you survive?

How to Redeem Basketball: Zero Codes

  1. First, you'll need to like and join the Basketball: Zero group on Roblox to be able to use codes
  2. Then, load up the Basketball: Zero Roblox experience
  3. In the bottom right corner of the screen, you'll find the codes button. It's purple with a gift box icon.
  4. Copy your code and paste it into the box
  5. Press redeem and claim your bonuses!

Why Isn't My Basketball: Zero Code Working?

Typically, when a code stops working, it's just because it's expired. However, plenty of codes for Roblox experiences are also case-sensitive. So, it might be that you've typed it incorrectly. Whether a code has been entered incorrectly in Basketball: Zero, or it's expired, you'll see a pop-up saying "code doesn't exist."

To avoid using an incorrect code, we'd recommend copying them directly from this article and pasting them into the code box. We test them all before we add them to the article, so you can be certain that if it's on here, it's a valid code. Just be sure to check you haven't added a sneaky extra space in there when copying it over.

How to Get More Basketball: Zero Codes

We check for codes on a daily basis, so if there's a new code, you'll be able to find it in this article. If you want to search for them yourself, however, you can head over to the Basketball: Zero Discord server.

What is Basketball: Zero in Roblox?

It's no surprise that in Basketball Zero, you'll be playing... basketball. The fast-paced 5v5 game will see you dribbling the ball across the court to face opponents and try to score as many points as possible. By unlocking new styles and zones, you'll earn a range of atheles and bonuses that will give you special advantages. The Flash, for example, has excellent speed and agility, while the Star athelete can leap like no other. Redeeming the codes above will give you chances at Lucky Spins, which unlock the Styles and Zones, while the cash will enable you to unlock emotes and goal effects, to really celebrate the wins.

How to Redeem Anime Card Clash Codes

Why Isn't My Anime Card Clash Code Working?

We usually find that when codes aren't working, it's for one of two reasons. Most Roblox experiences have codes that are case-sensitive, so if you're not putting the code in exactly as it's written, you'll find it won't work. To make it easier for you to avoid this issue, we'd recommend copying the code directly from this article. We test each and every one before we add them, so just be sure you don't copy an extra space before or after the code accidentally!

If your code still isn't working, it might be that it's expired. For reference, in Anime Card Clash, whenever you put in a code incorrectly, it says "Code not found!".

How to Get More Anime Card Clash Codes

We check for Roblox codes daily, so when a new Anime Card Clash code drops, you can be sure you'll find it here! If you want to track down codes yourself, the Anime Card Clash Discord server is the place to hunt for them.

What is Anime Card Clash in Roblox?

In Anime Card Clash the goal is to build the best deck to battle against bosses and other players. You'll start by rolling for cards to craft a unique deck, and we'd recommend taking some time to roll as many times as possible and creating your perfect pack before you jump over to story mode. When you're ready to tackle story mode, you'll engage in turn-based combat against a series of tough bosses. With each defeat, you'll unlock new worlds, so you can put your deck to the ultimate test.

How to Redeem Five Nights TD Codes

Below, you'll find all of the currently active and working Five Nights TD codes

To redeem Five Nights TD codes, boot up the Roblox Experience and, once you’re in, follow the steps below:

  1. Look at the icons running along the bottom of the screen. You’ll see three icons.
  2. Click the gear icon to access the settings menu.
  3. Scroll to the bottom of this menu and you'll see a codes bar. Input your code here, being careful to make sure it’s in the right case and spelt correctly.
  4. Hit GO and your chosen code will be redeemed.

Why Isn’t My Five Nights TD Code Working?

If your Five Nights TD code isn’t working, it’s likely due to one of two scenarios. The first is that the code was inputted incorrectly. Make sure you have the code inputted exactly as it is in the Active Codes section above. You can even copy and paste codes directly from this article over to Roblox if you want to make sure you’re inputting them correctly.

The other possibility is the code has expired or you’ve already used it. If you’ve used it, you’ll get a message inside the code bar reminding you that the inputted code has already been redeemed. If you’ve inputted it and it doesn’t recognise the code at all, it likely means it's no longer available to use and is expired.

How to Get More Five Nights TD Codes

If you’re looking to scout out some Five Nights TD codes yourself, you should go ahead and join the game's Discord server. Once you're in, you'll find a channel titled "codes". The devs will post new codes in here as they add them, so keep an eye on it for the latest codes as they drop.

What is Five Nights TD in Roblox?

Five Nights TD is a tower defense game based on the Five Nights at Freddy's franchise. Like most tower defense games, the idea is to engage in strategic battles where iconic FNAF animatronics attack your home base. To defeat them, you need to place units to stop them in their tracks, tactically assigning familiar faces like Freddy, Chica, Bonnie, and more to quell the oncoming waves of robotic enemies.

Along the way, you'll purchase new units, take on tougher difficulty levels, and face bosses, with the game pitting you against some of the franchise's most notorious antagonists.

How to Redeem Attack on Titan Revolution Codes

  1. Reach Level 15 in Attack on Titan Revolution
  2. Launch AoT Revolution
  3. Find Codes on the Main Menu as you load up the experience
  4. Click on Codes and the box will appear on the bottom right corner
  5. Paste in your code and press enter to get your goods

Why Isn't My Attack on Titan Revolution Code Working?

If you find your AoT Revolution code isn't working, it could be for a few reasons. Firstly, you'll need to be Level 15+ before codes will work, so spend some time leveling up before attempting to use them.

If you're Level 15+ and your code isn't working, it's either because there's a typo in the code or it's expired. If a code has run out, it will say "Expired" when you press enter. If there's a typo, or the code is very old, it will say "Invalid." If you don't meet the level requirement to use the code, it will say "Error."

To avoid typos, we'd recommend copying the code directly from this article. Then, paste it into the Codes bar on the Main Menu of the AoT Revolution screen. Just be sure to check that there's no extra space at the beginning or the end of the code.

How to Get More Attack on Titan Revolution Codes

We update this article daily with any new Attack on Titan Revolution codes. But if you want to get AOTR codes the moment they drop, it's best to follow the AoT Revolution Discord. Codes are posted in the #Announcements channel.

What is Attack on Titan Revolution in Roblox?

Attack on Titan Revolution is a Roblox experience inspired by the AoT Japanese manga. In an attempt to save humanity and lead the revolution against giant creatures, you'll be tasked with slaying the Titans and reclaiming freedom. Customize your fighting style with Gear, Upgrades, Perks, and more, to take on tougher challenges as you level up.

If You’re Staying In This Weekend, These Banger Game Bargains I Found Are a Must

The physical and digital shelves are looking McChockers today, and I’ve done the digging to find the stuff that’s genuinely worth your coin. From cult favourites to fresh spins on old classics, these deals deliver more than just savings. Being something of a gaming almanac myself, I’ve spent time with most of what I'm presenting (so you know you’re getting real picks, not just a price list).

This Day in Gaming 🎂

In retro news, I’m lighting an 18-candle cake for Civilization IV: Beyond the Sword with the fiery blast of a nuclear missile strike. This 2007 expansion supercharged Civ IV’s solid strategy base with fresh scenarios, deep espionage mechanics, and corporations that turned empire-building into a full-on business war.

I was blown away by how Beyond the Sword injected new life into the late game. While earlier Civ entries often slowed after the Renaissance, this expansion kept tension high with random events and colonisation options that demanded constant attention. The "Final Frontier" scenario was a clever nod to Alpha Centauri fans craving more sci-fi strategy. For many veterans, it was the perfect finishing touch on what some consider Mr Meier’s finest creation.

Aussie birthdays for notable games.

Nice Savings for Nintendo Switch

Over on Nintendo, Echoes of Wisdom finally lets Zelda step up as the hero. Her new copy-and-create powers make it feel like a clever remix of the puzzle solving I loved in earlier entries. Street Fighter 6 Switch 2 also deserves a look, especially with all the characters included and the fact it runs surprisingly smooth on the handheld.

Wayfair Is Slashing Prices on Office Chairs for Its 2025 Back to School Sale

While a desk is important, I'd argue that a good office chair is the most essential part of any setup. This is the one item that makes or breaks the level of comfort you have while working or playing games at a desk, and if you don't choose wisely, it's easy to end up with back pain. As part of Wayfair's Back to School Sale, you can save up to $400 off select office chairs right now. If your chair is on its last legs, this is an excellent time to upgrade your workspace.

This Wayfair Sale only lasts through Sunday, July 20. We likely won't see deals this good again until Labor Day sales at the end of August, so this is a good chance to save on office furniture if you can't wait until then. And with new tariffs potentially arriving in the U.S. on August 1, these could very well be some of the lowest prices we see at Wayfair for the rest of 2025.

Save on Office Chairs at the Wayfair Back to School Sale

As mentioned, these deals are part of Wayfair's Back to School deals, and if you've been looking for a new chair, it's worth a look. These deals range from just a few dollars to hundreds of dollars off, with some very premium options available for cheap.

There are dozens of chairs available in this sale, so you can easily find something that fits your office, no matter what you are looking for. Wayfair has fabric, leather, velvet, and even ergonomic mesh chairs available on sale, with each of these available in numerous styles. If you want a chair that complements your office as an accent piece, there are plenty of standout options, but you can also just as easily grab a subtle design.

Beyond office chairs, the Back to School sale has deals on bath, bedding, decor, desks, and much more. This sale is set to end on July 20, so time is running out to score a new office chair for cheap. Considering the huge savings here, I would recommend looking sooner rather than later, as these deals might not last long.

Should you buy a gaming chair instead?

While there are some tempting deals in this Wayfair sale, you might be wondering whether it is best to purchase an office chair or a gaming chair. This depends on what you plan on doing at your desk. If you aim to only work, it's probably best to get an office chair. However, if you wish to use your desk to play on your PC or console, a gaming chair could be a great addition. Often, you'll find that despite having numerous enticing features, gaming chairs have a hard time rivaling the comfort and support you can get from a quality office chair.
