Marvel Rivals exploded into existence in late 2024 and hasn't relented in pace since. While 2025 codes for freebies in NetEase's hero shooter are scarce, the developer has been known to dish out rewards, including free skins, in the past.

We've got a full list of the current active Marvel Rivals codes, as well as any that were once active and have now expired. We'll be regularly updating this guide as soon as new Rivals codes drop, so make sure to bookmark it.

Ubisoft is releasing another Discovery Tour--its series of mostly educational tours of historical locations featured in Assassin's Creed games--but this time it's a free mobile app. Discovery Tour: Medieval Baghdad is based on Assassin's Creed Mirage's depiction of 9th-century Baghdad, and is available for free on iOS and Android.

Discovery Tour: Medieval Baghdad can be explored in two different modes, one more educational and the other more gamified. The Access Codex mode provides encyclopedic entries on the history, art, and culture of Baghdad during the Abbasid Empire, based on the historical codex entries from Assassin's Creed Mirage. The mode includes real historical artifacts that can be inspected and interacted with using augmented reality features.

The more gamified mode is called Explore Baghdad, offering a narrative-driven journey through the city that takes around 2 hours to finish. The mode includes 360 degree exploration and mini-games, with the goal of collecting codex entries from around Baghdad.

CloverPit, the self-described rogue-lite slot machine nightmare, was initially scheduled to release on September 3--but that was before Silksong's September 4 release date was announced. Although CloverPit was one of multiple titles to have its release date moved further away from Silksong's, Panik Arcade has released an updated demo to mark the original release date.

Developer Panik Arcade describes CloverPit as "the demonic lovechild of Balatro and Buckshot Roulette," giving the Balatro treatment to an addictive lever-pull slot machine--with a healthy dose of horror besides. While CloverPit has plenty of promise, Panik Arcade was realistic about its chance of competing with Silksong, and made the call to move its release back to September 26 to avoid the clash.

As a nod to the day that should have been CloverPit's release date, Panik Arcade has instead released an updated demo that the developer says is "much closer to the 1.0 release." The demo update adds multiple new features including Steam Achievements, new charm modifiers, quality of life updates, and even an update to the plot.

Valve has trademarked the term Steam Frame, lending fuel to rumors that the company is planning to release a console counterpart to its popular handheld Steam Deck. No matter what form the Steam Frame takes, it looks like Valve is planning to expand its gaming hardware offerings in the near future.

Valve filed two separate trademarks for the Steam Frame on September 2, as spotted by a Reddit user, with each covering a different use. The first is listed for "computer game consoles for recreational game playing," including related accessories and controllers, while the second is broadly under "computer hardware," with an extended description that's an exact match for Valve's trademark filing for the Steam Index VR headset. The Steam Deck, for reference, was listed under "handheld computers" and "computer hardware," among other related categories.

While the trademark filing doesn't have enough information to confirm anything, the industry rumor mill suggests Valve is working on multiple hardware projects including a Steam console codenamed Fremont, a new SteamVR headset codenamed Deckard, and new Steam controllers. The Valve Fremont recently appeared in a listing on benchmarking platform Geekbench, further fueling speculation around the project.

This month marks the fourth anniversary of the announcement for Marvel's Wolverine. Insomniac Games hasn't shared much beyond the game's initial teaser. But according to a new report, Wolverine will be featured at Sony's next State of Play event near the end of September.

According to Insider Gaming, a new trailer for Wolverine has been finished for a potential debut at State of Play. Sony already had a State of Play this week for 007: First Light, and it hasn't yet announced plans for another one this month. Insider Gaming acknowledged the possibility that Wolverine's trailer could be pushed back to The Game Awards in December if the next State of Play isn't scheduled for this month.

Insomniac has already confirmed that Wolverine take place in the same universe as the three Spider-Man on PS4 and PS5. Unofficially, some potential spoilers for Wolverine were released after the Insomniac hack in 2023. Later reports suggested that Insomniac made changes to the game after the hack, but it's unclear how significant they were. Previous reports have also stated that Wolverine may be M-rated to better serve the character's violent nature.

Prior to this year, the release date for the Nintendo Switch 2 console was the subject of numerous rumors and speculative reports. The wait for fans officially ended in early June, but a new report states that Nintendo pushed back the Switch 2 launch multiple times despite the frustration of third-party companies.

According to Bloomberg, the reason Nintendo didn't rush Switch 2 to the market is because its designers requested extended deadlines for the launch titles in order to "perfect" them. Nintendo prioritized that above all other concerns, including the third-party publishers and fans who clamored for the console for years.

Earlier this summer, a separate report noted that Switch 2 development kits are still rare among third-party companies even months after launch. It's believed that issue may be the reason why some Switch 2 third-party titles have yet to be officially announced. Nintendo's Switch 2 launch titles have also outsold the third-party games for the console by a much higher ratio than expected.

Creepshow: Complete Series - Collector's Edition (Blu-ray)

$100 | Releases November 11

Preorder at Walmart Preorder at Amazon

Fans of the horror-comedy anthology franchise Creepshow now have two cool Blu-ray releases to look forward to this fall. Arrow Video's upcoming 4K restoration of Creepshow 2 has been available to preorder since July, but now you can also reserve a unique Blu-ray box set collecting all four seasons of Shudder's recent anthology series. Creepshow: Complete Series Collector's Edition is available to preorder for $100 at Walmart and Amazon ahead of its November 11 release.

Just like Creepshow 2's Limited Edition, the TV series collection leans into the franchise's roots and inspirations with a CRT TV display box containing comic book-inspired disc cases. It looks like an awesome collectible for Creepshow fans.

Creepshow: Complete Series (Blu-ray)

Neither retailer has a full product description for the box set, so we're not entirely sure what's going on with the miniature CRT TV in the image above. But with the TV display showing The Creep and the Creepshow logo with a red background, it seems like you can flip between screens. Perhaps with the dial on the front? That said, we wouldn't be surprised if those are removable cards that you slide into place. Turning the dial to change channels might be wishful thinking. Each of the four seasons has its own case modeled after the in-universe Creepshow comics and Stephen King's original graphic novel.

The Toxic Avenger remake was considered to be an unreleasable movie for several years, but in 2025, the impossible has become reality. With the unrated cut of the film now out in theaters--and garnering positive reviews for its over-the-top violence and general weirdness--the home media release has been set for October 28. Three different Blu-ray editions of The Toxic Avenger are up for preorder now.

Amazon is offering a steep preorder discount on The Toxic Avenger Collector's Edition Steelbook that drops the price to only $31 (was $50). There's also a 4K edition with a lenticular sleeve, but it's still selling for full price. The Toxic Avenger's standard Blu-ray edition is discounted to $25.85 (was $38), but keep in mind the Steelbook Edition includes 4K and 1080p Blu-ray discs.

The Toxic Avenger Collector's Edition Steelbook (4K Blu-ray) $31.13 (was $50) | Releases October 28

The Collector's Edition Steelbook of The Toxic Avenger Unrated features the mutated face of Toxie--played by Peter Dinklage--while the back has a cool full-body image of the mop-wielding vigilante as he strikes an action pose. Inside, you'll find promo images of the movie's two villains, Bob and Fritz Garbinger, played by Kevin Bacon and Elijah Wood, respectively.

It comes with 4K and standard Blu-ray copies of the movie, and bonus features include a behind-the-scenes documentary, director Macon Blair's audio commentary track, a video on why the world needs Toxie, a 40th anniversary tribute to the original movie, and the film trailer.

The Toxic Avenger's non-steelbook Collector's Edition comes with a limited-edition lenticular O-card sleeve featuring Dinklage's character in human and mutated forms. When you remove the sleeve, you'll see the cover art pictured above. Toxie is once again preparing for battle and is armed with his trusty mop.

Outside of the different packaging, this 4K edition is the same. It also includes a standard 1080p Blu-ray and the handful of special features found in the Steelbook Edition.

But unlike the Steelbook Edition, this hasn't received a discount yet, making it significantly more expensive at the moment.

The standard 1080p Blu-ray edition is also billed as a Collector's Edition, but the "collectible" component here appears to be reversible cover art. The unique cover displayed above shows Toxie doing his best Uncle Sam recruitment pose. The alternate cover art matches the 4K edition. The standard Blu-ray edition comes with the same bonus features.

A remake of Troma Entertainment's 1984 Toxic Avenger movie, the new version spent several years in limbo. Outside of a few premieres in 2023 at film festivals, the future of the movie looked uncertain as finding a distributor to help release it to a wider audience proved to be especially challenging. As one anonymous producer remarked at the time, The Toxic Avenger was deemed an "unreleasable" movie due to its gory nature and a prediction that it would only attract a niche audience to theaters.

After being announced six years ago, multiple delays, and years of anticipation, Hollow Knight: Silksong is finally releasing on September 4. Now, on Silksong eve, a resurfaced Reddit thread about the original Hollow Knight is a great reminder of just how far the franchise and developer Team Cherry have come in the past decade.

The thread, posted by Reddit user crazy_loop 10 years ago, includes a trailer for the original Hollow Knight prior to its release in 2017 and features a heartfelt message.

Last year my best friend quit his full time job to chase his dream and make a fully fledged video game. Today he just released a trailer and it looks beyond amazing.

Marvel Rivals Season 4 will upend the hero shooter's meta with a new hero and some major balance changes come September 12-- changes that include a long-awaited nerf to Luna Snow's ultimate ability.

In the latest Dev Vision video, developer NetEase breaks down what's new and what's changing in Season 4 but doesn't dive into many nitty-gritty details. In addition to a new Vanguard hero, Angela, to help kick off the season, a number of heroes are seeing significant balance adjustments to make them more (or sometimes less) competitive.

Chief among those changes is a decrease in the duration of Luna Snow's powerful ultimate, Fate of Both Worlds. NetEase hasn't released the patch notes just yet so we don't have the specific numbers involved, but it's a change that has felt like it's been a long time coming. Luna's ultimate has always been among the best in the game, capable of making teammates within it nearly invincible and able to stop an enemy push in its tracks. Its lengthy duration often brought fights to a standstill, much to the frustration of some players.

Preorders for 007 First Light are starting to go live following PlayStation's State of Play gameplay stream showcasing IO Interactive's espionage adventure. 007 First Light launches March 27, 2026, on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC. Two physical editions are available to preorder at Amazon: The $70 base game for console players is called the Specialist Edition and comes with a handful of in-game bonuses. Big fans of the N64 classic GoldenEye 007 will likely be tempted by the $300 Legacy Edition.

007 First Light Legacy Edition

The headliner collectible in the Legacy Edition is the replica Golden Gun figurine stored in a form-fitting display stand. A golden cartridge and five bullets have their own slots as well. It looks very much like something James Bond would have tucked away in his car. Fittingly, the display stand has a hidden compartment, too.

Along with the Golden Gun, the Legacy Edition comes with an exclusive steelbook case. The 007 logo on the front cover is a removable magnet, which is a neat little twist on the average steelbook design. The collectibles, a certificate of authenticity, a physical copy of 007 First Light, and a voucher for several in-game items are packaged in an understated black collector's box. First Light's Legacy Edition is only available on PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC.

There are plenty of important resources you'll need to have in your inventory throughout a playthrough in Prologue: Go Wayback. From your basic Walkman to food and a way to cook it, your pack often fills up faster than you think. However, one resource that will always need an inventory spot regardless of your situation is water.

Water is a non-negotiable in Prologue: Go Wayback, as you need to keep your character hydrated at all times once you leave the safety of your cabin. If you don't have access to water or know how to get it, you'll die within the blink of an eye. To make sure that doesn't happen to you, check out the guide below to see exactly how to get water in Prologue: Go Wayback.

Ways to get water in Prologue: Go Wayback

For starters, there are a couple of different ways to initially find and collect water at the start of a playthrough. The easiest way to obtain water after leaving your cabin is by finding a river. There are often a few different river access points you can walk to within the direct vicinity of your cabin. However, seeing as the maps are randomized in Prologue: Go Wayback, it's difficult to say exactly where you should go to find these rivers.

Prologue: Go Wayback isn't your run-of-the-mill survival game, as it features extremely harsh weather elements and a unique twist on the classic survival gameplay loop.

The video settings especially need to be tuned, as Prologue: Go Wayback's performance can be slightly dodgy unless you have a top-of-the-line machine. However, even the audio settings and controls can be tinkered with depending on your personal preferences. To see our recommendation for every setting in Prologue: Go Wayback, check out the guide below.

NetEase has released the Season 4 trailer for Marvel Rivals, which confirms Daredevil and Angela as the two new playable characters confirmed for the game. The trailer also reveals Marvel Rivals is coming to PlayStation 4.

Season 4: Heart of the Dragon arrives on September 12, and the new season will introduce the two new heroes. Daredevil, The Man Without Fear, is the most notable of the pair, but some players might also be familiar with Angela, who is a powerful Asgardian goddess and the firstborn daughter of Odin and Freyja.

The Season 4 trailer above shows what the two heroes will look like in the game, with Angela and Daredevil at odds and battling each other. Of course, their fight isn't the main focus of the season.

Cronos: The New Dawn is a pretty difficult game, and it's made even harder by the fact that there's a finite amount of upgrade materials available to you in a single run. As such, you'll want to make informed decisions throughout your journey to ensure your health, inventory, and weapons are all able to withstand what the game throws at you.

While you'll start to obtain more of both materials in the back half of the game, the opening hours can often feel restrictive, forcing you to make very tough decisions about what upgrades will improve your chances of success.

Path of Exile 2's massive The Third Edict update is getting even better, as a patch scheduled for later this week will bring improvements not only to the game's first seasonal league but also to new mechanics like sprint.

The Third Edict launched August 29 and added Act IV of Path of Exile 2's campaign, two temporary "interlude" acts to help players reach the endgame, and the ARPG's first seasonal league, Rise of the Abyssal. Developer Grinding Gear Games says it's been keeping a close eye on player feedback since the update's launch, and now it's almost ready to release patch 0.3.0b to address various issues.

Many of the upcoming changes are to Rise of the Abyssal, making the abilities of certain enemies more manageable. That includes the Vessel of Kulemak boss. It will be easier to read and dodge its arena-wide cleave attack, and while its Teleport Slam ability can no longer be avoided, it will deal reduced damage. Other enemies, like Abyssal Stranglers and the Shepherd of the Pit, have had the damage dealt by certain abilities reduced.

Microsoft has announced a new line of Xbox Wireless Controllers, dubbed the Breaker special edition series. These controllers will be released in three distinct colors--Heart Breaker, Ice Breaker, and Storm Breaker--and they'll be launching simultaneously on September 9, priced at $80 each.

Xbox Breaker wireless controllers

Aside from the bold colors for each variant and textured grips, these are your typical Xbox controllers in form and function. This has been the default design since the Xbox Series X|S consoles were launched in late 2020, and they've stood the test of time thanks to several factors: comfortable ergonomics, durable inputs, and strong battery life. The other great thing about Xbox controllers is that they're extremely versatile, as you can pair them with your Xbox Series X|S or Xbox One consoles, PC, Android, and iOS devices. Thanks to Bluetooth connectivity, linking them to compatible hardware is relatively easy.

The Ice Breaker Xbox controller lives up to its name, as it sports a glacier-blue design and a frosted, translucent finish. This makes several parts of the controller look like fragmented crystals, and there are variations of blue found across the thumbsticks, ABXY buttons, and textured grips.
