The Nintendo Switch 2 launches on June 5, and it’s shaping up to be a worthy successor to the original handheld console. A slew of first-party Nintendo accessories arrive the same day (including controllers, a camera, and carrying cases), but a recent price hike for these accessories has made them a bit more expensive than anticipated. GameStop has you covered, however, as the retailer is launching its own lineup of branded Switch 2 gear--giving you a chance to pick up a bunch of accessories for cheap. Preorders are now open ahead of their June 5 release.

Nintendo recently raised the prices of the Carrying Case and All-In-One Carrying Case to $40 and $85. However, GameStop is offering similar products for $25 and $35, making them wonderful alternatives for frugal shoppers. The standard Carrying Case provides your handheld with a durable, hardshell exterior, and inside you’ll find slots to hold 10 cartridges. The All-In-One Case, meanwhile, is large enough to lug around your console, dock, charging cables, and other gear.

Existing owners can purchase an upgrade from the eShop for $10 each to gain access to the Switch 2 versions, but physical copies with new Switch 2 packaging are available as well. Tears of the Kingdom and Breath of the Wild are launching alongside four new Amiibo figures based on the Champions from Tears of the Kingdom: Tulin, Yunobo, Sidon, and Riju.

Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom are among a handful of select Nintendo Switch games getting upgraded versions with new content on Nintendo Switch 2. Like other Switch 2 Edition games, Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom Switch 2 Editions will offer better visuals and performance than their Switch 1 versions, and will include additional features like support for the all-new Zelda Notes app, which offers daily login item bonuses, a helpful map that shows your in-game location in real time, the ability to share stats with other players online, and more.

Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom each have a much larger emphasis on inventory management than the older Zelda games, and the controls can be somewhat cumbersome at times. These are games that greatly benefit from controllers with remappable back buttons. Thankfully, the official Switch 2 Pro Controller has a pair of built-in back buttons. If you're interested in the Switch 2 versions of these Zelda games, you may want to snag a preorder for the Switch 2 Pro Controller, too. The Switch 2 Pro Controller releases alongside the games and console on June 5.

Ghost of Yotei Collector's Edition Revealed, Preorders Start May 2

Thu, 04/24/2025 - 06:13

PlayStation has revealed that Ghost of Yotei will launch on October 2 with three different editions for PS5. Preorders for Ghost of Yotei's pair of physical editions, including a Collector's Edition that's exclusive to PlayStation Direct, will begin on May 2 at 10 AM ET. All preorders include several pieces of DLC.

If you want to play the original before Ghost of Yotei's release, you can pick up Ghost of Tsushima's Director's Cut for $49.49 (was $70) right now. Ghost of Yotei takes place 300-plus years after Ghost of Tsushima, so you don't technically need to play Sucker Punch Productions' first entry in the action series. That said, playing it would give you a pretty good idea of what to expect from Yotei. Though the cast of characters is entirely new, the premise and themes will sound familiar. You'll once again embark on a revenge mission as "The Ghost."

Ghost of Yotei Preorder BonusesGhost of Yotei preorder bonuses

Preorder any edition of Ghost of Yotei to unlock an exclusive in-game mask, plus seven PSN avatars. These feature concept art of characters from the game--including the main character Atsu and the notorious Yotei Six. It’s unclear if there will be any retailer-exclusive preorder bonuses.

The Last Of Us 3: Everything We Know About The Unconfirmed Game

Thu, 04/24/2025 - 06:01

Will we ever get The Last of Us: Part III? Naughty Dog's gaming franchise is back in the news lately thanks in part to the popular HBO show starring Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey, leading to questions about a possible continuation of the video game series

No new entries have been announced, but Naughty Dog developers over the years have dropped clues and made comments about returning to the post-apocalyptic world numerous times. To be sure, The Last of Us: Part III is not confirmed--and it may never happen. But there is a chance, so with that in mind, we're rounding up everything we've heard about a new Last of Us game.

Table of Contents [hide]The Last Of Us: Part III Could Happen "If The Stars Align"

The most recent comments about The Last of Us: Part III came from Naughty Dog's Neil Druckmann, who wrote and directed the first two games. During a promotional interview for The Last of Us Season 2, Druckmann was inevitably asked about a third game. He said he's not ruling it out, but he's not confirming it either.

The Last Of Us Season 2's Shocking Episode Had This Unexpected Positive Effect

Thu, 04/24/2025 - 05:18

Streams of a song featured at the end of the newest episode of HBO's The Last of Us surged by more than 1,000% on Spotify, the streaming service has announced.

The cover of Shawn James' "Through the Valley" by Ashley Johnson and Chris Rondinella jumped by more than 1,000% in the US since Episode 2 aired on Sunday, April 20. Developer Naughty Dog responded to Spotify's announcement with a heart emoji. Presumably streams of James' original version rose, too, but Spotify didn't release any stats about this.

Johnson, of course, performed the role of Ellie in Naughty Dog's The Last of Us video games and originally recorded the cover of "Through the Valley" to promote The Last of Us: Part II in 2016.

New Assassin's Creed Board Game Features Asymmetrical Gameplay, Spans Multiple Eras

Thu, 04/24/2025 - 04:46

Mantic Games, the team behind Halo: Flashpoint and Worms: The Board Game, has revealed a Kickstarter campaign for a new Assassin’s Creed board game. Assassin’s Creed: Animus will let you dive into the Assassin’s Creed story with up to three other players, though further details are scarce. You can, however, sign up to be notified when the Kickstarter officially opens--for now, the landing page offers just the smallest glimpse into what the game will entail.

According to the current listing, Assassin’s Creed: Animus is a board game built for two to four players. Rounds can last up to 90 minutes and take you through multiple historical eras, allowing you to craft your own adventure in the Assassin’s Creed universe. A blog post from Mantic Games revealed a bit more about Animus, including asymmetrical characters and the need to balance your own objectives while fending off the other players.

Assassin's Creed: Animus

It sounds quite intriguing--and considering Mantic Games is responsible for plenty of other video game adaptations, it’s certainly one to keep your eye on. Be sure to sign up for notifications if you’re interested in checking out Assassin’s Creed: Animus or backing its campaign.

Ben Starr's Debut Videogame Music Performance Was Recorded After "Far Too Many" Tequila Shots

Thu, 04/24/2025 - 04:10

Currently standing as 2025's best-reviewed game, tied only with Blue Prince, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a phenomenal experience from a gameplay, narrative, and soundtrack perspective. What really resonated with my first playthrough of the new RPG though, was the music. Composed over five years by Lorien Testard, Clair Obscur's music stands with the potential to be crowned one of the best videogame soundtracks of all time.

Among the 154 songs that compose the game's eight hours of music sits the beautiful "Until Next Life," which marks actor Ben Starr's first foray into performing video game music. Starr, who plays Verso in the game, tells GameSpot the amusing tale of how Testard approached him to sing on the soundtrack.

"I've been in this industry for about five minutes, so I really haven't done a lot, relative to a lot of my amazing colleagues and peers. I'm trying to do everything everywhere, all at once. Really, I feel like I'm juggling 1,000 things and wearing a million different hats," he begins, "I might never get to do it again. I was in Montpellier, and [Testard] just sidled up to me, and I was really intimidated because this was the first time I was meeting him. I've heard his work and I was like, 'I don't want to embarass myself.' Then he pulled me aside and I was like, 'What's going on?' He just said, 'I'd like you to sing on the soundtrack. Would you want to do it?'

Jennifer Aniston Reacts To Her Unexpected The Last Of Us Season 2 Cameo

Thu, 04/24/2025 - 04:08

Jennifer Aniston has reacted to her unexpected cameo in HBO's The Last of Us, an appearance many didn't even realize she made--and for good reason.

In the Season 2 premiere on April 13, Ellie (Bella Ramsey) finds a 2003 copy of People Magazine showing Aniston front and center in the Best & Worst Dressed issue. In The Last of Us lore, 2003 was when the outbreak that caused a global pandemic began.

Aniston shared a photo from the episode on her Instagram stories (via EW), writing, "Of all the things to survive the apocalypse" with a laughing-face emoji attached. She also tagged the official Last of Us TV show account.

The Division 2, First Released In 2019, Gets New Expansion Next Month

Thu, 04/24/2025 - 04:06

Ubisoft has announced that The Division 2's next expansion, Battle for Brooklyn, will launch on May 27. That's right, the six-year-old game is still getting more content as part of a Year 7 update.

Battle for Brooklyn is set during Fall, and that's a time of year not yet seen in The Division 2. Players will trek through places like Brooklyn Heights and Dumbo to take on a "fresh crop of secrets and challenges." Ubisoft also noted that the story for Battle for Brooklyn doesn't necessarily require players to be totally caught up. It aims to be "approachable for new players," Ubisoft said.

Players will fight Cleaners and Rikers who have made their way across the river from Manhattan. The enemies are now equipped with "Purple Flame," which is a new type of weapon that players haven't faced before in The Division 2. Like the base game, Battle for Brooklyn is playable solo or with others in co-op.

How To Make Money In Schedule 1 - Fastest Methods

Thu, 04/24/2025 - 03:52

Whether you're just starting out in Schedule 1, or you're a seasoned mogul wanting to make some more money quickly, there are plenty of ways to earn more cash. Ultimately, money will be the deciding factor in the expansion of your empire, so it's the most vital objective.

We've got a list of the most efficient ways to make money fast in Schedule 1, whether you stick to legitimate ways, or use things like the infinite money glitch to your advantage. Make sure to check our list of Schedule 1 cheats and console commands for the money cheat, if that's your thing.

Watch your balance go up fast.

Firstly, you'll want to always charge more than the customer offers. Whether that's by a couple of dollars, or even as much as $30 more, you can push your luck with most clientele. That small margin of profit becoming wider will net you easier money faster, especially in the early game. Similarly, by underdelivering, you can save a few dollars of manufacturing cost. Be careful with this, as customers will begin to have a negative opinion of you, affecting your reputation. It's usually safer to underdeliver by one or two bags to customers who place large orders. This makes your product go further, and increases your overall profit margin.

Elden Ring Board Game Is Available At Amazon With Limited Stock

Thu, 04/24/2025 - 03:49
See at Amazon See at Amazon See at Amazon

Steamforged Games recently adapted From Software's epic RPG Elden Ring into board game form. However, at $200 for the Elden Ring: The Board Game - Realm of the Grafted King base set, it's an expensive release to add to your table. Luckily, if you act fast, you can save a few dollars by purchasing Elden Ring: The Board Game - Realm of the Grafted King for $185 from third-party sellers at Amazon while supplies last. You'll also find similar discounts for the game's standalone expansions, Stormveil Castle and Weeping Peninsula.

Elden Ring: The Board Game - Realm of The Grafted King $200 (was $185)

Like Steamforged's other tabletop adaptations--which include other From Software properties like Bloodborne and Dark Souls--Elden Ring: The Board Game combines elements of board games and tabletop RPGs to create an epic analog version of the acclaimed open-world dark fantasy video game. It's designed for 1-4 players, and each player controls their own customizable character as they explore Limgrave, which fans of the video game will recognize as the Elden Ring's iconic opening zone. Combat uses a dice-less, card-based ruleset that is designed to match Elden Ring's characteristic challenging gameplay.

Elden Ring: The Board Game - The Realm of the Grafted King base set features 54 unpainted miniatures to represent the player characters and various enemies and bosses--including large bosses and high-level monsters like Margit and The Tree Sentinel--plus everything you need to play, including card decks, tokens, exploration and combat maps, rulebook, and scenario book.

See at Amazon Elden Ring: The Board Game - Stormveil Castle $112 (was $130)

Elden Ring: The Board Game - Stormveil Castle is one of two standalone expansions available for the game, meaning you can pick it up by itself and play without needing The Realm of The Grafted King set. You'll get a unique set of rules, a scenario book, and all the gameplay materials you need for playing through the video game's first major dungeon, Stormveil Castle. However, this is a much smaller box, with just 22 minis (including a massive Godrick the Grafted figure) and fewer starting class options for players, so it's worth considering the main set if you want a more fleshed-out experience.

See at Amazon Elden Ring: The Board Game - Weeping Peninsula $110 (was $120)

Much like the Stormveil Castle set, the Weeping Peninsula is a standalone expansion you can add to the base game or purchase and play by itself. This release includes 20 unique miniatures, scenario book, rulebook, and gameplay materials based on the Weeping Peninsula are from the video game. The set's large marquee figure is the Leonine Misbegotten, which acts as the final boss of the expansion's quest line.

See at Amazon

If Amazon sells out, you can also buy the Stormveil Castle and Weeping Peninsula expansions at Steamforged Games' online store, though The Realm of the Grafted King base set is sold out. It's also worth noting that two other Elden Ring: The Board Game releases--the Limgrave Depths standalone expansion and the Erdtree Avatar--are also available to preorder exclusively at Steamforged Games. The Limgrave Depths set is like the other standalone expansions and can be played by itself, while the Erdtree Avatar requires either the base set or one of the expansions.

Elden Ring: The Board Game looks to be a great way to revisit the Lands Between, especially while waiting for the upcoming Elden Ring: Nightreign. This new game remixes the original Elden Ring into a co-op multiplayer game where squards of up to three players embark on excursions through the new realm of Lindveld to explore, battle bosses, and collect loot before three in-game days pass. Each run is unique, featuring procedurally generated landscapes, dungeons, and enemy placements. Elden Ring: Nightreign launches on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC on May 30, and preorders are available now.

2025's Best-Reviewed Game Can "Exist Alongside" Oblivion Remastered, Clair Obscur Star Says

Thu, 04/24/2025 - 03:43

In 2025, you're spoilt for choice when it comes to gaming, as more and more top quality titles are being released one after the other. Developer Sandfall Interactive faced an unusual and unexpected challenge, as Bethesda announced and released Oblivion Remastered just days before the release of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.

Speaking to GameSpot ahead of the release, Ben Starr, who voices the mysterious character of Verso in the game, said this isn't actually a bad thing at all, despite challenges that the small studio of just 30 developers may face. "I think when it comes to that, one thing that we can absolutely speak to is how exciting it is that we're in 2025--a year that, whatever your gaming tastes, whether you're obsessed with Blue Prince, whether you're obsessed with Oblivion, whether you're excited for Doom: The Dark Ages, whether you're excited for Clair Obscur, you have so much diversity to explore.

Starr voices the mysterious Verso in Clair Obscur.

"I think Expedition 33 is this amazing new IP that doesn't come along very often. You've got two ends of the spectrum. You've got the remake of the masterpiece that is Oblivion, the juggernaut that is Oblivion, and you've got this new IP that is Expedition 33, and hopefully they can exist alongside each other," he explains.

Subnautica 2's Latest Dev Vlog Shows Off Co-Op Mode And A New Alien Planet

Thu, 04/24/2025 - 03:41

Unknown Worlds--the studio behind 2014's terrifying underwater adventure, Subnautica--has released a new developer vlog detailing the studio's progress on the long-awaited Subnautica 2, which was officially announced last October.

The vlog gives players their first close-up look at one of the game's most anticipated features: a four-player co-op mode that allows players to explore the depths of an alien planet with friends by their side--a stark contrast from the original game's solo journey through the deep.

"For the first time, you’ll have the chance to experience Subnautica 2 with your friends in co-op," design lead Anthony Gallegos explained, showing off footage of multiple players exploring the underwater world.
