Krispy Kreme has announced a collaboration with Bandai Namco for Pac-Man donuts to celebrate the video game franchise's 45th anniversary. This is happening just as a new Pac-Man cookbook goes live.

The new donuts are available right now at Krispy Kreme stores across the US, and there are three varieties. The first is the Pac-Man Party donut, which is an original glazed donut with yellow buttercream-flavored icing and sprinkles, with a Pac-Man piece on top.

The Team Ghost donut, meanwhile, is an unglazed donut with chocolate cream, dipping in black icing, and decorated with a Pac-Man maze and ghost pieces. Finally, the Strawberry Power Berry donut features strawberry-flavored cream, dipped in red icing and decked out with white sprinkles and green leaf icing.

Remastering a game the size of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is no small task, so it's probably not surprising that some small details get lost in the process, but players have spotted one bungled texture that ruins an entire running joke.

As spotted on the Oblivion subreddit, via PC Gamer, the sign for Lelles' Quality Merchandise in Anvil no longer sports its signature hasty spelling correction. In the original game, the sign misspells the shop's name as "Lelles' Quality Mercandise," and has the missing "h" haphazardly balancing above its spot in the word. In the remaster? The added "h" is nowhere to be seen.

Genuinely heartbroken by this vv
by u/Xeredek in oblivion

While the error is incredibly minor in the scheme of things, the small detail is a part of store owner Norbert Lelles' character, with his lack of smarts being pointed out by other NPCs, and only becoming more obvious in a quest where the player-character is asked to protect his store from robbers. The sign and its hasty correction are even referenced in various NPC dialogues around Anvil.

As one of the developers who worked on the original Call of Duty back in the early 2000s, Chance Glasco wonders if the behemoth FPS franchise has run out of ideas. A series veteran and one of the original members of Infinity Ward, Glasco says he doesn't play much CoD anymore--though he does enjoy a bit of Warzone.

In an interview with Tulsa, Oklahoma's News 9, Glasco shares his experience as one of the 23 employees who left Medal of Honor developer 2015, Inc. for newly established Infinity Ward to work on Call of Duty. "We knew we could make a really good game," Glasco said. "Activision gave us the freedom to do things we couldn’t on Medal of Honor, but it was still a new franchise."

Call of Duty wasn't an instant hit when it released in 2003. Instead, it took time for word to spread. "It didn't have a big spike in sales right away," Glasco recalls. "It just climbed gradually as word got out. Multiplayer really hooked people, and over time, it became huge."

The next WoW Remix event is coming, and this time it's fan-favorite expansion Legion in the spotlight. The upcoming Legion Remix event had already been teased by Blizzard, but it was officially announced at the Evolving Azeroth panel at PAX East over the weekend.

World of Warcraft associate game director Jeremy Feasel officially announced the new Remix event, as picked up by Wowhead, and shared some insight into the ongoing process of remixing Legion.

"Legion has a lot of content--way more content than Mists of Pandaria--and it has a huge amount of different systems," he reminded fans. "The team is currently hard at work delving deep into 'how we are going to integrate all these systems in a remixed way. Which systems are we gonna remix? Which systems are we gonna remix and add new things to?'"

There's more Fallout on the horizon--Amazon has just announced that the live-action TV adaptation has been renewed for a third season. Season 2 officially wrapped production just last week, and is still over six months out from its scheduled premiere in December.

Actor Aaron Moten, who plays Maximus in the show, recently revealed the series could go for five or six seasons. Shortly after, Variety reported that a third season has been officially confirmed by Prime Video. "Together with our amazing partners at Bethesda Games and Bethesda Softworks, we are delighted to announce a third season of Fallout, well ahead of the much-anticipated debut of Season Two," said global head of television at Amazon MGM Studios, Vernon Sanders.

The early renewal shows that Prime Video has a lot of faith in the video game adaptation, and for good reason. The first season of Fallout was critically well-received and beloved by audiences, and has since become one of Prime Video's top three most successful titles.

Doom: The Dark Ages is here, bringing a brand-new campaign full of demons for you to rip and tear through. The third game in the modern Doom trilogy, Doom: The Dark Ages is a prequel, taking place in a more medieval time period, meaning your guns and weapons have a certain retro quality to them, like the new melee weapons and the new shield. Of course, there are still lots of guns and plenty of fast-paced shooting. Doom: The Dark Ages features a single-player campaign, and here's how long beating that will take you.

Check out our Doom: The Dark Ages Collectibles Guides Hub for guides for every level.

How long to beat Doom: The Dark Ages

Doom: The Dark Ages will take you between 17-20 hours to beat. That estimate is for someone who is finding secret areas and collectibles during their run on normal difficulty, but not grabbing every single secret the first time through. GameSpot's critic Alessandro Barbosa took 18 hours to beat the game for GameSpot's Doom: The Dark Ages review, doing some of the side content during that run.

Forza Horizon 5 launched on PS5 a few weeks ago, bringing cross-platform play to the first-party Xbox game. To mark the occasion, Forza is getting an Xbox-PlayStation hybrid livery for the Lamborghini Revuelto, an unlockable car in the game's new Realms update.

Boasting the trademark bright blue of PlayStation and neon green of Xbox, the livery is meant to celebrate "more players driving together," now that the game is no longer an Xbox console exclusive. As stated in a press release, "Lamborghini and Forza have joined forces to create a powerful symbol of unity: a first-of-its-kind livery, designed for a vibrant driving community, that is only getting bigger."

The livery is only usable on the new Revuelto, which can be earned in Horizon Realms by winning the Horizon Stadium circuit race. The livery, meanwhile, is unlocked via share code 687 884 132. This can be entered by selecting "Find New Designs" in the Designs and Paint tab in the Garage customization menu.

The Dead Zone: Limited Edition Steelbook (4K Blu-ray)

$45 | Releases June 10 exclusively at Amazon

Preorder at Amazon

The film adaptation of Stephen King's classic sci-fi novel The Dead Zone is getting a display-worthy new 4K edition next month. The Dead Zone's Limited Edition Steelbook is exclusive to Amazon and available to preorder for $45 ahead of its June 10 release. The steelbook case features artwork inspired by the the 1983 film's eerie promotional poster.

Collectors of King movies should keep in mind that The Dead Zone's Amazon exclusivity means it may not be available for very long after its launch. If you preorder now, you'll be eligible for any price cuts Amazon offers until your copy ships. And if The Dead Zone has you thinking about expanding your King collection, you'll find a list of 4K Blu-ray editions of other adaptations of King's novels and stories at the bottom of this story.

The Dead Zone: Limited Edition Steelbook (4K Blu-ray) $45 | Releases June 10 exclusively at Amazon

Amazon's exclusive Steelbook Edition of The Dead Zone was remastered from the original 1983 film negatives. The 4K remaster first released in 2023, so if you already have that one, the only difference here is the eye-catching steelbook case.

Like The Shining and numerous other Stephen King adaptations from its era, The Dead Zone's 4K remaster offers a noticeably improved visual and audio experience with Dolby Vision HDR10 and DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1. If you want to watch this King classic in 2025--more than 40 years after its theatrical release--the Steelbook Edition or 2023 Collector's Edition would be your best bets. The 4K release also comes with a standard Blu-ray disc, and both discs are loaded with special features, which we've outlined below.

Preorder at Amazon The Dead Zone Steelbook Edition Special Features

On the 4K disc you'll find several audio commentary tracks--sadly, Cronenberg himself hasn't recorded a track--with one of them containing insight from the movie's director of photography Mark Irwin. Mike Flanagan, whose adaptation of the King novella The Life of Chuck hits theaters next month, joins Eric Vespe and Scott Wampler of the Kingcast for one of the other tracks, and you can also watch the movie with commentary from several film and film music historians.

Ubisoft is teaming up with Microsoft to offer Siege X players free stuff as part of their membership. Beginning in June, Game Pass Ultimate subscribers will get access to "in-game benefits" that will change throughout the year to correspond to professional Rainbow Six tournaments.

For each new major milestone in the Blast R6 eSports tournament series, players will get different content as part of their Game Pass Ultimate membership. Ubisoft did not reveal what any of these bonuses might be in its blog post, but free is free.

This is yet another perk that Microsoft is leveraging to encourage people to sign up for Game Pass. Call of Duty players who have Game Pass also received special content, while Microsoft's bi-monthly Game Pass blog posts run through each month's specific perks for individual games.

RadioShack is back from the grave. After going bankrupt in 2017, the brand was acquired by new owners in 2023, and the company is using its new lease on life to offer the usual assortment of electronics along with a cool lineup of new vintage -style audio gear. Retro speakers, radios, and turntables are all included in the new RadioShack catalog, many of which are already receiving generous discounts.

The Vintage Turntable with Bluetooth and FM Radio is the most premium at $126 (was $140). Along with a chance to play your favorite vinyls (and support for three speeds and auto return), the turntable features a built-in AM/FM radio, support for CDs, a cassette player, and the ability to record audio directly to a connected USB or SD card. It’s all housed inside an engineered wood cabinet with a rich brown color and retro brass accents.

Remedy has announced the next closed alpha test for FBC: Firebreak, and it's coming up very soon. The test begins May 15, and while it's a closed test, you can sign up for a chance to get in.

To sign up, head to the FBC alpha website. Remedy said this is a "limited" test, so anyone who signs up has to cross their fingers and hope for the best to get accepted. The alpha test is being held on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S, and cross-play is supported.

Because this is a closed test, participants cannot share anything about it. "That means no talking about the game on the Steam forums, posting images online, or streaming the game to a public audience," Remedy said.

The future is looking increasingly digital for the Switch 2, as while the Nintendo hybrid console will still accept physical cartridges, many of these will serve as authentication keys to enable games to be downloaded onto the system. One company is pledging to ensure that the Switch 2 cartridge you buy from them isn't a Game-Key Card, as it wants to stick closely to its mission statement to always offer physical games to buyers.

At PAX East 2025, Limited Run Games explained its stance on Switch 2 game cartridges to Boss Rush. The company--which specializes in releasing retro and modern digital games on physical media for PlayStation, Xbox, and Switch consoles--explained that nearly all of its games will be "true" physical releases and will contain the full game on the cartridge. The exception to this rule will be games released as a partnership and that don't fall under its numbered releases umbrella, as Limited Run will leave this decision up to the developer or publisher.

Game-Key Cards are notably cheaper to produce as well, and Nintendo has confirmed that these won't be locked to your Switch 2 or tied to your account if you buy one and choose to resell it down the line. The reveal of Game-Key cards has been met with some criticism, as it looks like players will be forced to upgrade the internal storage capacity of their Switch 2--the console offers 256GB of storage, but a portion of that will be reserved for system files--with a pricy MicroSD Express card.

Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto 6 has been delayed to 2026, but a remaster of GTA 4 could be in the works, and potentially out relatively soon. That's according to tipster Tez2, who wrote on the GTA forums that not only is a port of GTA 4 for modern consoles potentially in the works, but it might be released before the end of 2025.

"Someone at Rockstar hinted at the IV port," Tez2 said (Via ben on social media), adding that a port of the 2008 open-world game "may end up" coming out in 2025. This person added that the existence of a GTA 4 port might help explain why the Liberty City Preservation Project mod was taken down recently.

Tez2 added that if Rockstar's schedules remain intact, a Max Payne 3 port might happen as well, and could release after GTA 4's reported port. Tez2 was responding to a question about these potential games coming to "modern" platforms, and that could mean PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Whether or not Switch or Switch 2 would be possible platforms is unknown.

Nintendo is recommending that Switch 2 owners turn on a "Stop Charging Around 90%" setting to prevent the system's battery from deteriorating as fast. The company shared the news--and an in-depth video explaining where to find the new setting--in a recent Nintendo Today post.

Recently, Nintendo has been sharing system setting-related videos on its daily news app, including one showcasing the use of mouse controls on the home screen. The latest one highlights the Stop Charging Around 90% feature of Switch 2, with Nintendo explaining that "pausing the charge at around 90% reduces deterioration to the battery." A video showcasing how to turn on the feature was also included, and has since been shared by industry insider Stealth40K on X.

Nintendo revealed Switch 2 stops charging at about 90% remaining battery.

If “Stop Charging Around 90%” is turned on, the charging speed will slow down around 90%. pic.twitter.com/53Y0ORyFvd

If you plan on frequently playing your Switch 2 over the long term, this is definitely a feature you should be aware of. Keeping the system's battery healthy is important if you want to maximize your handheld mode play time. Currently, Nintendo says the Switch 2's battery life lasts between two to six-and-and-a-half hours, depending on what games are being played. Nintendo also said the system will take three hours to charge, although that may be a bit shorter if this specific new setting is turned on.

The excellent metroidvania Touhou Luna Nights earned strong reviews when it launched on consoles and PC back in 2018, but it has only been available as a digital release--until now. Touhou Luna Nights is finally getting physical editions on PS5 and Switch on July 11, including a $40 standard edition and a $90 5-Year Anniversary Edition that includes a bunch of collectible extras. Preorders for both versions are available at multiple online retailers.

Touhou Luna Nights is a fan game based on the long-running Touhou Project, which originated with a 2D bullet hell series back in 1997. Luna Nights is quite different from traditional games in the franchise, however, as it’s a metroidvania. You’ll play as Sakuya Izayoi, who must work her way through a dangerous mansion, recovering lost powers as she attempts to escape and return home. The original release of Touhou Luna Nights is sitting with “Overwhelming Positive” reviews on Steam. Fans of metroidvanias will probably find it to be an excellent addition to their catalog. Part of what makes it so compelling is its time-warping mechanic, which can be used to solve challenging puzzles.

Combat is quite exciting too, as you’ll use a “graze” system that gives your character additional benefits by narrowly escaping damage. And like any good metroidvania, you'll unlock a litany of useful skills as you work through its story. Give the game a look if you’re seeking a unique adventure to get you through the warm summer months.

It didn't even take a full week for Grand Theft Auto VI's second trailer to break 100 million views on YouTube. Though the video can be seen in other places as well (Rockstar Games confirmed just last week that the open-world title's trailer hit almost a half-billion views after just a day), this is still an extremely impressive accomplishment.

Rockstar released the newest Grand Theft Auto VI trailer out of nowhere on May 6. The video confirmed that the game's story will focus on Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos, after the couple was seen a bit in the first trailer that debuted in late 2023. Another fascinating aspect of the second trailer is Rockstar noting that it was captured on PS5--as well as some PlayStation references.

Days before the trailer dropped, Rockstar revealed that Grand Theft Auto VI would be delayed to May 26, 2026. Previously, the game was set to arrive this fall. However, there was always skepticism about that release window because Rockstar has a lengthy history of delays.
