A rare physical copy of Fortnite has sold at auction for $42,500. What made this copy so rare and valuable? The listing on the Heritage Auctions website said the sealed copy of the Xbox One version of the game with the Storm Master Weapon Pack was rated Wata 10 A++, and that's the highest grade possible.

This physical version of the game, which was published by Gearbox, came out in 2017 before Fortnite blossomed to become the massively popular game it is today thanks to its battle royale mode. Some may recall that when Cliff Bleszinski revealed Fortnite to the world in 2011, it was a scavenging and survival game. Now, it's a cultural behemoth and the dominant player in the battle royale space with crossovers and collaborations galore, including numerous more to come in the new Chapter 7 update.

The rare copy of Fortnite that was sold at auction on November 21 originally retailed for $60, so someone is probably making a nice return on this. Someone else on eBay is trying to sell a sealed copy of Fortnite on Xbox One for $7,000 right now. Another listing is asking $2,800.

Monster Hunter Wilds

$30 (was $70)

See at Amazon See at Walmart (PS5) See at Walmart (Xbox)

If you haven't yet jumped into the latest entry in the Monster Hunter series, now's your chance to check it out for cheap. Monster Hunter Wilds is listed for $30 (was $70) ahead of Black Friday, which is so far the lowest price we've seen for the game since its launch on February 28 this year. The discount is available at Amazon and Walmart, with both PS5 and Xbox Series X versions eligible for the savings. Just note that this is a limited-time deal and will likely disappear soon.

Monster Hunter Wilds $30 (was $70)

Monster Hunter Wilds includes the base game, and grants you access to all the free post-launch updates the game has received over the past few months, which include additional monsters, story missions, and craftable equipment, as well as a new social gathering hub area to meet up with other players online.

While at its core, Monster Hunter Wilds follows the core gameplay loop of its predecessors, it's also the biggest departure for the series yet. You'll once again be out to hunt massive beasts, fighting solo or with a small party by your side. However, Wilds offers the first narrative-heavy, cutscene-driven storyline for the mainline Monster Hunter series, and makes big gameplay changes like large, interconnected open zones to explore, streamlined (and, frankly, easier) combat and crafting systems, as well as some of the most graphically detailed monsters and environments yet. While audience and critical reviews have been uneven post-launch, Wild's baseline gameplay is still as fun as ever, and its heavier narrative focus and shifted gameplay priorities make for the most approachable Monster Hunter yet.

Monster Hunter Wilds has seen a few discounts since launching earlier this year, but nothing as notable as this. Its price typically hovers around $45, making this a great time to add it to your collection finally. If you're playing on PC, you can grab a Steam version for $41.29 (was $70) at Fanatical. Note that this deal ends on Friday.

If you've ever seen the mods that put Thomas the Tank Engine in Fallout 4, Resident Evil Village, and The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim, it was largely due to the work of modder known as Trainwiz‬. Now, Trainwiz has struck again by placing Thomas in The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind, while hinting that he's been on the receiving end of Mattel's displeasure for his work.

Trainwiz‬ released the Really Useful Cliffracers mod on Nexus Mods, which swaps out the flying cliff racers with Thomas the Tank Engine. Trainwiz also left comments on the page that read like a direct challenge to Mattel.

"I made a mod that replaces cliffracers with Thomas the Tank Engine," wrote ‪Trainwiz‬. "I am incapable of learning lessons whenever it involves corporations, because I fundamentally do not view toy company CEOs or media CEOs as people."

Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney is quite fond of artificial intelligence, stating earlier this year that the controversial technology will help smaller teams thrive. Now, the billionaire tech mogul has claimed that AI will become so ubiquitous that any disclosures about its use in game development are no longer required.

Sweeney made the comment on X in a reply to motion capture designer Matt Workman. Workman said on November 13 that Steam and "all digital marketplaces" need to drop the "Made with AI" label, claiming it no longer matters. He went on to say that the label only exists because marketplaces "sell to artists who put up a stink initially," though he believes that it "looks ridiculous" and isn't enforceable.

Sweeney agreed with Workman, commenting on November 26 that the tag is only relevant to "art exhibits for authorship disclosure, and to digital content licensing marketplaces where buyers need to understand the rights situation." Otherwise, to Sweeney, AI disclosures "make no sense," particularly when it comes to digital game stores like Steam, because "AI will be involved in nearly all future production."

Microtransactions have become a standard part of video games, albeit one that is still heavily criticized to this day. Cosmetics and new DLC form the bulk of these quick purchases, which are typically introduced as optional preorder and post-launch content that complements a video game. One such game that sells cosmetics is Assassin's Creed Shadows, and associate game director Simon Lemay-Comtois recently spoke about how these items have provided vital post-launch financial support.

"Microtransactions, for all the flak it gets, it allows us to do the Isu stuff, the quest stuff, the parkour updates, all of it," Lemay-Comtois said to IGN, arguing in favor for DLC. Assassin's Creed games don't operate in a vacuum when it comes to optional extras, as almost every AA and AAA released these days offers some form of additional content that you'll have to pay extra for. Call of Duty is notorious for its crossover skins, fighting games like Street Fighter 6 regularly release new characters to play as, and premium in-game currencies bought with real-world cash are very common.

Assassin's Creed Shadows has received substantial free content since its launch earlier this year, and it recently received a major update. This added a new crossover with the hit anime series Attack on Titan, a new quest titled The Puzzlement, and Corrupted Castles will offer more variety, all for free.

Master Chief creator Marcus Lehto has recalled his initial design process for the now-iconic character, saying he and the team at Bungie "tried a lot of things" before settling on the look everyone now knows.

"The creation of the Master Chief is something that I went through so many ringers to try to find the right look, the right feel, the right stature for such a character," Lehto said in an interview with Kent State Magazine. Lehto attended Kent State.

The report said some of the early designs for Master Chief were "too slender, too stylized." To come up with the final design, Lehto said he look at a variety of things for inspiration, including an M1 Abrams tank, the line of an Apache helicopter, and a BMX helmet.

While Nintendo usually limits its Nintendo Switch Online drops to one platform at a time, today it is adding two new games each from two different classic platforms: Battletoads and Ninja Gaiden II: The Dark Sword Of Chaos for NES, and Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters and Bionic Commando for Game Boy.

Of the new additions, Rare's 1991 NES beat-em-up Battletoads is remembered by gamers for being one of the most difficult games of the era, with many planning a rematch as the game comes to Switch for the first time.

These #NES and #GameBoy games are now available to play for #NintendoSwitchOnline members!

The new drop of games also includes two sequels to games that are already part of the Nintendo Switch Online library. Tecmo's Ninja Gaiden II: The Dark Sword Of Chaos is the second game in the franchise's NES trilogy, following on from the original Ninja Gaiden, which is already on Nintendo Switch Online. Game Boy title Kid Icarus: Of Myths And Monsters is also a sequel to the original Kid Icarus, which is also available in the Nintendo Switch Online's NES library.

It appears the PlayStation 5 game Death Stranding 2: On the Beach from Hideo Kojima could be released on PC, just like the first game. A rating for the game on PC has popped up on the ESRB's database. Games typically receive ratings from various groups before they are released, suggesting the as-yet unannounced PC version could release soon.

The 2019 original Death Stranding released on PC in July 2020, which was about eight months after the game originally launched for PS4 in November 2019.

Sony owns the publishing rights to Death Stranding and decides when it's released on other platforms, and increasingly, PC is becoming a bigger revenue source for the company. A recent report said Sony's various PC releases thus far have brought in more than $1 billion collectively.

Digimon fans can save big on the original Digimon Adventure TV series in Amazon's Black Friday sale. The English-dubbed Blu-ray edition of Digimon Adventure: Season 1 is on sale for $48 (was $80). Deals on Digimon Adventure tend to sell out fast, and the English dub version typically sells for anywhere from $64 to full price. Season 1 hasn't been priced this low in nearly six months.

The perfect deal to pair Season 1 with is Digimon The Movies 1-3 Collection, a prequel to the TV series featuring newly restored, uncut versions of the first three Digimon films. Digimon The Movies 1-3 Collection is on sale for an all-time low price of $18 (was $30). Amazon's Black Friday sale also includes Digimon Adventure 02: The Beginning on Blu-ray for $14.49 (was $27).

What time is it? It's time to check out these Black Friday deals on Apple Watches at Walmart. While multiple models are seeing discounts, one of the best budget-friendly options on sale right now is the Apple Watch SE second-generation line. You can buy a GPS-enabled 40mm version for $129 (was $279), a 44mm SE2 model for $159 (was $279), or grab the cellular version of both models for the same price.

Apple Watch SE 40mm (Second Generation) $129

Not just useful for checking the time at the flick of a wrist, the Apple Watch SE2 is an affordable option for tracking your health and fitness. These are designed to seamlessly connect with your Apple devices, are water-resistant to 50 meters, and can be easily customized with a range of optional watch bands and watch faces sold separately. Anyone looking to track their activity can explore various metrics that the watch tracks, making this a solid option for first-time users.

Other features include Fall Detection, Crash Detection, and Emergency SOS. The watch also offers three months of Apple Fitness+ for free with the Workout app. This deal applies to all GPS and GPS + Cellular models in any available color while stock lasts.

If your wrist is on the larger side, you'll want to grab the 44mm Apple Watch as these have wider bands. Like the 40mm version above, this deal applies to all GPS and GPS + Cellular models in any available color.

The Apple Watch SE2 earned positive reviews after it launch in 2022, with critics noting that it offered users a sharp Retina display, powerful processor, and versatile health-monitoring tools. Considering that these watches still command a high price tag--and newer models cost even more--we're not expecting Walmart's SE2 stock to last long.

Anyone looking for a fashion statement can also check out these deals on watches inspired by classic video games and consoles. The officially licensed Atari 2600, Space Invaders, and Tetris watches aren't just colorful tributes to video game history; they're interactive devices preloaded with video and arcade games that you can play on them.

HBO's The Last of Us TV series has been hailed as one of the best video game adaptations, and for Black Friday, you can get 4K Blu-rays of the show's two seasons at a new low price. Based on the critically acclaimed games developed by Naughty Dog, The Last of Us Season 1 is on sale for $16.49 (was $20), and Season 2 is available for $27.49 (was $40).

The first season ran for nine episodes, and each episode is accompanied by a short documentary detailing its production.

All seven episodes from Season 2 are included, along with special features including behind-the-scenes featurettes, deep dives into the characters, and interviews.

HBO's The Last of Us series is a mostly faithful adaptation of the video games, and if you'd like to experience the source material, the PS5 remastered editions of both games are currently on sale during Black Friday. The Last of Us Part 1 is a remake of the original PS3 game and is now discounted to $30 (was $70). This version features substantially upgraded graphics and quality-of-life updates, as well as the Left Behind prequel chapter, new weapons, upgrades, visual filters, and a Speedrun Mode.

The Last of Us Part 2 was already a good-looking game when it first debuted on PS4, but the PS5 version makes it look even better. The remastered version includes the original game and adds visual upgrades and levels featuring behind-the-scenes commentary from Naughty Dog developers. Additionally, you can explore three "Lost Levels" that weren't included in the game, test your skills in the roguelike survival mode No Return, and strum a few chords in Guitar Free Play mode.

Ticket to Ride $27.49 (was $55)

Ticket to Ride supports up to five players and is designed for ages eight and up. You'll be tasked with expanding your rail network across America with several different ways to achieve victory (such as collecting color sets of train cards or building the longest routes on the board). The rules are pretty simple for everyone to learn, but there's enough depth to the action that there's always something new to explore or a new strategy to attempt.

Ticket to Ride's publisher, Asmodee, has a few other great board games on sale for Black Friday if you're looking to stock up with even more titles for holiday game nights. One of the most popular board games, Carcassonne, is available for $21 (was $42).

This version features eye-catching artwork on the game pieces, and a redesigned rulebook aimed at making it easier to learn the rules.

Solid-state drives (SSDs) have come a long way over the years, evolving from expensive storage devices into affordable upgrades for PCs and consoles. For Black Friday, SSDs from various manufacturers are on sale, with a wide range of capacities available. Considering that modern-day video games require more storage space than ever before, a storage capacity is an essential purchase for PC and console players--and grabbing one while they're on sale is a great opportunity to add a terabyte or four to your devices at more affordable price points. To help you find the best deals, we've rounded up a selection of discounted SSDs in the lists below. You'll find models that work on PC and PS5, as well as proprietary storage card expansions for Xbox Series X, and MicroSD cards for Switch, Switch 2, and Steam Deck. We've also thrown in a few SSD heatsinks and external drive options as well. Note that these are all limited-time deals, so pricing and availability may change.

Once you've browsed all the SSD drives below, check out GameSpot's Black Friday Deals Hub for the latest discounts on hardware, video games, Blu-rays, and more.

1TB SSDs $70 - $130

1TB NVMe SSDs are some of the cheapest devices on the market, and Amazon is offering several models for under $100 during Black Friday. The BIWIN Black Opal NV7400 is on sale for $70 when you click the coupon on its page, while the Acer Predator GM7 and Crucial P310 2280 are just $80 each. All three SSDs provide comparable read/write speeds.

There are also officially licensed PS5 SSDs from Seagate and Western Digital, but these do cost more than the options listed above. For PC gamers, we'd recommend the Crucial P510 with read/write speeds of up to 11,000/9,500 MB/s. While it will work with PS5 consoles as well, the specs are pure overkill for that system.

• Crucial P310 2280 -- $80 ($109)
• Crucial P510 -- $100 ($130)
• Acer Predator GM7 (No heatsink) -- $80 with coupon ($101)
• Biwin Black Opal NV7400 (No heatsink) -- $70 with coupon ($95)
• WD Black SN850P -- $130 ($159)
• Seagate 1TB Game Drive for PS5 -- $120 ($135)

See at Amazon 2TB SSDs $135 - $190

While an extra terabyte is great for your system, a 2TB SSD is even better. These don't cost much more than the 1TB SSDs, and you can get one like the Crucial P310 2280 for as low as $135. This has read/write speeds of up to 6,000 MB/s and 7,100 MB/s, making it ideal for PS5 consoles. The more expensive options here include the officially licensed Seagate PS5 SSD for $170 (was $215) and the Crucial T710 for $190 (was $320). The Crucial SSD is once again specced beyond what is required for a PS5 console, so PC power users looking to handle demanding programs and move large files will want to consider grabbing this one.

• Crucial P310 2280 -- $135 ($178)
• Seagate 2TB Game Drive For PS5 -- $170 ($215)
• Crucial T710 -- $190 ($320)

See at Amazon 4TB SSDs $240 (was $328)

A 4TB SSD is pretty big, but the benefit of installing one is that you'll future-proof your PC or PS5. One of the best deals we've seen so far for these chunky SSDs is the PS5-compatible Crucial P310, which will work just fine in a PC as well. It delivers up to 7,100 MB/s read and 6,000 MB/s write speeds, and it's on sale for $240 (was $328).

See at Amazon SSD Heatsinks

As mentioned above, some of these SSDs will require a heatsink. PS5 owners can get the Sabrent heatsink for just $10 (was $14), and it's designed to seamlessly fit an M.2 drive and replace the native PS5 cover when placed in the expansion bay. Constructed from high-quality CNC'd aluminum, this has been a popular choice because it efficiently disperses heat.

After giving everyone a free Juice WRLD skin a year ago, Fortnite is once again offering a free licensed skin to mark the start of a new chapter. Anyone who logs into Fortnite between November 27 at 6 AM PT and December 1 at 6 AM PT will receive a skin based on Yuki Yubari, a character from Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill who didn't make the final cut of the movie when it was originally released.

This Yuki Yubari skin is free to anyone who logs into Fortnite between November 27 and December 1.

Back when Tarantino wrote his massive two-part epic Kill Bill, it included an additional sequence that was cut before filming, in which Yuki seeks revenge for the death of her sister Gogo, whom The Bride had killed during the battle at the House of Blue Leaves. Yuki finally sees the light of day in Fortnite Chapter 7, apparently.

The Yuki Yubari skin is not actually in the Fortnite game files yet, so you won't be granted the skin until after Chapter 7 begins on November 29. Yuki is one of at least three Kill Bill-related skins coming to Fortnite in Chapter 7. The Bride herself will be included in the Chapter 7 Season 1 battle pass, and a skin based on Gogo Yubari will be sold in the item shop--and you can also earn it by purchasing a ticket in advance for a showing of Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair during its opening weekend.

This may be the winter of discontent for some Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 players. Activision has been notably quiet about the game's sales, and has yet to share metrics or statistics. There's also been an uptick in anger from fans over conspiracy issues related to the game's Skill-Based Matchmaking mode. That's led Charlie Olson--the creator of CoD's SBMM--to directly address some of those concerns himself.

OIson--who spent a decade at Raven Software under Activision--shared a lengthy video on his YouTube channel that dives into how his SBMM is supposed to work. He also took the time to explain why Activision's announcement about bringing "open matchmaking" to Black Ops 7 didn't mean the game was dropping SBMM. If fans were expecting the chance to cut down inexperienced or casual players, they've been disappointed. Olson argues that it means the game has been dominated by "sweats," or experienced players, rather than rookie players.

"Some players are leaving because they thought this tweet meant SBMM had been completely removed from the game, and then they felt betrayed by the inclusion of one standard matchmaking playlist, and then blamed it for stealing 'fodder' from the open playlist," explained Olson. "What's really going on here is there aren't enough casual players at launch to make open matchmaking the pubstomp that was expected or promise. If open lobbies are sweaty, it's because it's mostly sweats playing."

Whether you recently picked up the new Nintendo Switch 2 or are looking for something to play on the original Switch, you'll want to check out Best Buy's Black Friday sale, as numerous games for both systems are on sale during the event. The deals include price cuts on physical Switch and Switch 2 games, as well as discounts on digital edition Switch games. The Switch 2 deals are focused on third-party releases like Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion for $50 (was $70) or EA Sports FC 26 for $30 (was $70), while the list of discounted Switch titles covers a mix of first- and third-party games, including up to 50% off on select Nintendo-published games like Super Mario Odyssey and Splatoon 3, both of which are $30 (normally $60). Considering Nintendo first-party releases rarely go on sale--and when they do, it's not by much--this is a great chance to stock up on Switch games for the holidays. And since Switch games are backwards compatible with the Switch 2--and in some cases have Switch 2 upgrades available--they could make great gifts for players of either console.
