Xbox's Jason Ronald has teased that Microsoft has "a lot of exciting things to share" in 2026 for the Xbox's 25th anniversary. Speaking to the BBC, Ronald was asked specifically if more Original Xbox games would be coming to Xbox Game Pass. Ronald didn't confirm anything outright but said fans have a lot to look forward to for the anniversary next year.

"I can't announce anything today, but 2026 is the 25th anniversary of Xbox. And we want to celebrate the great legacy and the history that we have at Xbox, as well as defining the future of where the Xbox ecosystem is going," he said. "So, I can't confirm or deny what you are asking, but stay tuned. We have a lot of exciting things to share next year."

Also in the interview, Ronald said Xbox feels "a need but also a responsibility" to preserve games from the past and "enable them to be played in entirely new ways."

It took nearly a decade, but all-star illusionist group The Four Horsemen finally returned for another heist earlier this year when Now You See Me: Now You Don't hit theaters in November. The film is the third installment in Ruben Fleischer's crime series, following 2016's Now You See Me 2. While it earned mixed reviews from critics, most moviegoers found it to be another thrilling blockbuster. The film is still in theaters, but preorders for the 4K Blu-ray are already available, including a Now You See Me: Now You Don't Limited Edition Steelbook that's available for $35. We don't know the release date, but preordering locks in Amazon's price guarantee, making you eligible for any further discounts between now and release.

Now You See Me: Now You Don't Limited Edition Steelbook (4K) $35 | Release TBA

We still don't have a firm release date for this limited edition steelbook, but we do know it'll be sold exclusively at Amazon and will feature unique cover art with a slipcase that changes the cover art. Inside the fancy case, you'll find 4K Blu-ray, Blu-ray, and digital copies of the film. No bonus materials have been announced, but we expect to find out more once we get a firm release date.

Preorder at Amazon Now You See Me: Now You Don't Standard Edition $35.55 | Release TBA

Now You See Me: Now You Don't is also available to preorder in a standard edition. Like the limited edition steelbook version, there's no release date or information on special features yet. Nevertheless, you can preorder it in three formats--the 4K Blu-ray is $35.55 (was $43), the Blu-ray is $33.11 (was $40), and the DVD is $24.49 (was $30).

Now You See Me: Know You Don't once again follows the Four Horsemen, illusionists who use their impressive skills to not just pull off mind-bending magic tricks--but also pull off some of the most impressive heists the world has ever seen. The core cast remains intact all these years later, with big names like Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Dave Franco, and Isla Fisher reprising their original roles. The film is sitting with a "Mixed" score on Metacritic, though it could make for a fun watch if you're in the mood for a caper.

If you need to catch up on the first two entries in the series, Now You See Me is available on 4K Blu-ray for just $19.79 (was $23), while Now You See Me 2 on 4K Blu-ray is $17.13. If you don't mind picking up a DVD, the Now You See Me: Double Feature is just $10 and includes both films in a single package--just note it's a big step down in visual quality and lacks the special features of the standalone 4K UHD releases.

While we're still a couple of months away from Resident Evil Requiem's release, it looks like there could be a surprise return awaiting fans. Before it was removed, the PlayStation Store revealed new cover art for the game that featured longtime Resident Evil protagonist Leon Kennedy. PlayStation 5 players noticed the art on the pre-download screen for owners of the standard (non-Deluxe) version of the game.

IGN later confirmed the art, which showed a stubbled and haggard-looking Leon hovering over Requiem's other main protagonist, Grace Ashcroft. Leon appeared similar to his Resident Evil 4 look, with his fur-lined leather jacket, albeit a bit more grizzled.

Leon's inclusion in the game has been something that Capcom has vehemently denied, with even producer Masato Kumazawa denouncing alleged leaked images of Leon going around last month. "There has been a photo lately of Leon with an eyepatch, and just basically saying there's a DLC or a new costume for Leon--but just to make sure, these are all fake news," he told Stevivor in an interview, and added not to believe anything at face value.

Super Mario Goomba 15-Inch Plush

$22.74 (was $39)

See at Amazon

Amazon recently restocked a bunch of popular 15-inch Mocchi-Mocchi stuffed plush figures, including the adorable Super Mario Goomba. Not only is it back in stock, but it's listed for one of its best prices of the year at $22.74 (was $39). We've also rounded up the other restocks below, so be sure to check them out if you're shopping for an adorable holiday gift.

Super Mario Goomba 15-Inch Plush $22.74 (was $39)

This Goomba is an officially licensed Nintendo product, meaning you can expect it to be built to high standards. Club Mocchi-Mocchi plushies are always ultra-soft, and they feel much more premium than most other plushies on the market. The 15-inch models are fantastic pieces of home decor for a game room, though they're also ideal snuggle buddies for kids.

If you're shopping for a holiday gift, you'll be glad to know that many locations are eligible for next-day shipping. We're not sure how long the popular Goomba will remain in stock, however, so consider snagging it for cheap while you can.

While the lowly Goomba is one of our favorite Club Mocchi-Mocchi plushies on sale, it's far from your only option. Several 15-inch Mario models were recently restocked at Amazon, including Shy Guy, Thwomp, and the dreaded Blue Shell. There are also 6-inch options like the Mario Kart Banana and Red Shell. Check out all Super Mario Club Mocchi-Mocchi plushes below. You can also check out the new Metroid Prime Mocchi-Mocchi and Kirby plushies, which are also available in 15- and 6-inch variants.

Yet another version of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is here, with developer Bethesda Game Studios mega-hit RPG now available for Nintendo Switch 2.

Skyrim continues to conquer every platform imaginable, and this time it's specifically 2021's Skyrim Anniversary Edition that's available on Nintendo's new console. This new version of the game does come with a few additional bells and whistles not found in the original Switch version, namely Joy-Con 2 mouse-control support. It also sports improved load times and performance in addition to features found in the original Switch version of Skyrim, like Legend of Zelda Amiibo support, Zelda-themed items, and motion controls.

For those who already own the Anniversary Edition on the original Switch, the Switch 2 upgrade is available for free. Those who don't already own any version of Skyrim on Switch can buy it on Switch 2 for $60. Owners of the non-Anniversary Edition of Skyrim on Switch can upgrade to the Anniversary Edition for $20 and then receive the Switch 2 version for free. The Anniversary Edition includes the base game and its three official expansions, as well as access to Creation Club content made by players.

Nintendo Switch 2 Wheel Set for Joy-Con 2

$21.49 (was $25)

See at Amazon See at Target

If you're one of the many holiday shoppers who took advantage of last week's Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart World bundle promotion, you should check out this week's deal on the racing wheel attachment set. Nintendo's official Joy-Con 2 Wheel Set is on sale for $21.49 (was $25) at Amazon and Target. Deals on first-party Nintendo accessories are uncommon, so even though you're only saving $3.50, it's still a noteworthy deal. Designed for playing Mario Kart World with motion controls, the two-pack of steering wheels launched alongside the Switch 2 console in June.

Nintendo Switch 2 Wheel Set for Joy-Con 2 $21.49 (was $25)

The official Nintendo Switch 2 Wheel Set comes with one light blue and one red attachment that match the color scheme of the Joy-Con 2 controllers. The textured grips are nicer than a lot of third-party wheels and Nintendo's attachments from the Nintendo Wii era.

Just like the Switch 2 console itself, the first-party steering wheels have magnetic connectors for the controllers. Large shoulder buttons (SL and SR) are built into the back of each wheel.

Considering the popularity of the Mario Kart World bundle deal, which ended on Sunday, it wouldn't be surprising if Amazon and Target sold out of this deal. Last week, Amazon sold out of all three of Hori's new Mario Kart World-themed Joy-Con 2 wheel attachments. Themed around Mario, Peach, and Yoshi, the officially licensed $15 wheels launched December 5. Amazon lists all three as "temporarily out of stock."

For a larger Switch 2 racing wheel, check out the recently released Joy-Con 2 accessory by Numskull. Officially licensed by Nintendo, Numskull's attachment is table-mounted and has slots for both controllers. It launched for $30, but Amazon has since raised the price to $33.83.

Save on Light Bars, Light Boards, and more

See at Amazon

If you're looking for a quirky way to light up your home for the holidays, Amazon is running a limited-time deal on the Govee x Pac-Man Gaming Pixel Light. Now available at its lowest price ever of $90 (was $140), the customizable LED panel comes with over 100 preset designs--four of which are exclusive Pac-Man animations that bring the retro icon to life. A bunch of other Govee products are discounted ahead of the holidays, which we've listed below in case you're looking for a fun last-minute gift idea.

Govee x Pac-Man Gaming Pixel Light $90 (was $140)

This LED panel features a 52x32 grid of large pixels and can be mounted on a wall or placed on a desk with the included stand. While the display comes pre-programmed with Pac-Man art, it can also run animations and widgets, such as weather forecasts and scores of sports games. There's also a handful of Pac-Man animations and a small, built-in speaker that plays a variety of sound effects and music. It also offers 10 lighting-sync modes that mesh with other smart lighting and music playback devices in your home, and it's compatible with the Govee AI Sync Box 2 for advanced synchronization features. The display is controlled via a mobile companion app or with Alexa and Google Assistant voice controls.

The Govee Gaming Pixel Light is smaller than the Pac-Man light above, but offers many of the same features, including support for various widgets, music modes, and a companion mobile app. Its 32x32 grid also makes it easier to wedge onto a cramped desktop.

Beyond the Pixel Lights, Govee also makes several Light Bars and Wall Lights, many of which are on sale at Amazon. In fact, the Govee Gaming Wall Light is currently listed for its lowest price ever at $65 (was $120). They come with 61 preset scenes and support over 16 million colors, making them highly customizable. The Govee Gaming Light Bars are even cheaper at $55 (was $90). Most people toss these on either side of their gaming monitor and use them as backlighting. They support millions of colors and work with the Govee Home app. For something a bit more premium (and with real-time screen color sync), check out the Govee Gaming Light Bars Pro for $72 (was $120). And for anime fans, Govee's Evangelion Edition Glide Y Lights offer similar lighting features with a slick design based on the EVA Unit-01 from Evangelion. Check out more Govee deals below.

You'll find the standard Smart LED Light Bars for $30 (was $50), while the TV Light Bars are $39 (was $70).

Still have some decorating to do ahead of this year's holiday party (or planning to upgrade your lights for next year)? The Govee Icicle Lights are just $90 (was $150).

The chances of the Perfect Dark reboot rising from last summer's cancellation are slim-to-none. But two of the primary developers behind it, studio head Darrell Gallagher and director Brian Horton, have found a new home at Take-Two Interactive.

Bloomberg's Jason Schreier broke the story about Gallagher and Horton on Bluesky. According to Schreier, the duo will start their own studio under the Take-Two umbrella. However, there are currently no details about any games that they're working on.

Schreier previously reported that Take-Two came close to reviving the Perfect Dark reboot. However, the deal reportedly fell apart over which company would own the rights for the franchise. Regardless, it seems that both Gallagher and Horton made an impression on Take-Two that led to them being hired.
