One of the most popular Star Wars building sets since its launch in March 2024, the 921-piece Millennium Falcon is part of the Lego Star Wars 25th Anniversary Collection. Based on the iconic light freighter's appearance in Episode IV: A New Hope, this well-designed display model measures 9.5 x 7.5 x 5 inches and comes with an adjustable display stand that lets you pose the ship at different angles. A nameplate attaches to the front of the stand, and the 25th Anniversary logo brick featuring R2-D2 connects to the stand's base.

The Millennium Falcon is one six Lego Star Wars midi-scale ships released so far. Lego's midi-scale ships are designed for adults and experienced builders due to the number of small pieces and densely packed details. All of the mid-scale ships are priced under $100, but the Millennium Falcon offers the best value--even at full price--from a piece to price ratio.

The authentic design includes all of the exterior trappings found on the Millennium Falcon in the movies, including the rectenna dish, quad laser cannon, exhaust vents, the fuel lines, and more. The build process also includes intricate engine and cockpit sections.

We've listed all six mid-scale Star Wars starships below. Executor Super Star Destroyer is exclusive to Walmart, and Invisible Hand is exclusive to Target and retiring soon. Amazon has deals on the Home One Starcruiser and Acclamator-Class Assault Ship, and Walmart has the Tantive IV for $60.

Lego Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy cleverly altered well-known characters, starships, and planets by making the shakeup the central problem. The Star Wars universe is rearranged when a reality-altering Jedi relic is moved. Heroes and villains swap allegiances, leading to characters such as Darth Jar Jar and Bounty Hunter C-3PO and reskinned starships like the Dark Falcon.

The 1,579-piece Dark Falcon playset has a number of interactive features, including spring-loaded shooters, rotating cannons, a removable cockpit, gunner post, and more.

The set includes six minifigures:

• Darth Jar Jar
• Bounty Hunter C-3PO
• Darth Dev
• Darth Rey
• Beach Luke
• Jedi Vader

All six minifigures have their own accessories, four of which are lightsabers. Notably, Darth Jar Jar, the galaxy's new Sith Lord, wields the double-sided red lightsaber that Darth Maul has in The Phantom Menace. There's even a removable throne for Darth Jar Jar. The gunner post and cockpit can fit two minifigures each.

The Dark Falcon building set is 17 x 12.5 x 5 inches. It's classified as a playset and is suitable for builders ages 10 and up, but it makes for a nice display piece. Plus, every Lego Star Wars minifigure collection is improved by Darth Jar Jar and Bounty Hunter C-3PO.

From 1999 to 2017, Bruce Straley was one of the key players at Naughty Dog, and the co-director of two its best-selling games, The Last of Us and Uncharted 4. However, Straley essentially left the game industry for several years despite that impressive track record. Now, Straley is sharing more details regarding his departure, following up on comments he made years ago.

"I had been there 18 years. That's a long time for anybody to be anywhere," Straley told Polygon. "I need new problems to solve, I need new creative outlets. I'm not saying there wouldn't be opportunities there, but couple that feeling with the idea that I was working really, really hard at something that wasn’t mine."

Straley went on to explain that he didn't jump to another AAA studio because he felt Naughty Dog was the "pinnacle" of developers that made the games he was interested in. And he didn't want to deal with "a whole different bureaucratic or cultural system."

The new Tomb Raider games announced at The Game Awards, Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis and Tomb Raider: Catalyst, will feature the voice of Alix Wilton Regan as Lara Croft.

This is a change from the latest trilogy--Tomb Raider, Rise of the Tomb Raider, and Shadow of the Tomb Raider--which featured Camilla Luddington voicing and performing the motion-capture for Croft.

Wilton Regan is known for her roles as Samantha Traynor in Mass Effect 3 and the female Inquisitor in Dragon Age: Inquisition. She also played Aya in Assassin's Creed Origins.

New Metroid games are few and far between, so the launch of Metroid Prime 4: Beyond should have been a monumental event for the fanbase. Instead, eight years after its announcement, and 18 years after the previous game, Nintendo’s big December 2025 release landed with a loud thud. Already, this once highly anticipated title is poised to be one of the series' most divisive games, earning a spot alongside Other M and Federation Force.

This isn't for lack of polish, as Prime 4 is indeed visually stunning and perhaps the greatest first-party showcase of graphics on the Nintendo Switch and its successor. But while it has its share of enthusiasts, it’s difficult not to feel underwhelmed by the final product in comparison to prior Prime games and even other, similar entries in the Metroidvania space that has grown in Nintendo’s frequent absence.

The list of Metroidvania games from independent and third-party developers in the past decade alone is astonishing, with Ori and the Blind Forest, Axiom Verge, Hollow Knight, Dead Cells, Animal Well, and others throwing new concepts and innovations into the genre’s well of ideas. Hollow Knight and its follow-up, Silksong, have captivated players with their dense worldbuilding, roaming NPCs, and optional side objectives, all of which have come to define the critically acclaimed series. Nine Sols stood out with its intricate combat system, while more out-there games like pinball Metroidvania Yoku’s Island Express have proven anything can be a Metroidvania with the right amount of determination and creativity. Even Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown changed the game with something as simple as an in-game screenshot system to help with backtracking. The Metroidvania genre is rapidly iterating with a volume of unique takes.

Stranger Things Funko Pops & Squishmallows

See all at Amazon

Stranger Things is finally coming to an end when the second half of Season 5 arrives on Christmas, followed by the series finale on New Year's Eve (it'll even be in theaters at select locations, if you're looking for a cinematic conclusion). But ahead of the end of the Upside Down, you'll find a bunch of new Funko Pops celebrating the hit Netflix series, most of which are just $15.

This new batch of Stranger Things Funko Pops includes models for Derek, Dustin, Holly, Eleven, Mike, Will, Lucas, Hopper, and Nancy. All of these are traditional Funkos, standing around 3.75 inches tall and giving the cast the iconic Funko makeover. For something a bit different, you can check out the Rockin' Robin with The Squawk set or Steve with the Squawk Van. The latter is already sold out at Amazon, though you can still pick it up at Target. You'll find a list of all new Stranger Things Funko Pops below.

If you're looking for even more Stranger Things Funkos, there are also a bunch of cool Stranger Things Funko Bitty Pops to check out. These tiny figures stand less than an inch tall. These are a nice alternative to the traditional Funko Pops, as they're easy to display on a crowded desktop or entertainment center. They also look absolutely adorable and are a fun choice for young fans of the show. We've included them in the list below as well, including the Byers House Playset you can snag for just $24.84

The game launches on April 24 and preorders are now live on PlayStation 5, Switch 2, and Xbox Series X, with a surprisingly last-gen price of $60. Pragmata is also coming to PC, and at Fanatical, both the Standard and Digital Deluxe Editions are 17% off.

The physical edition of Pragmata includes the base game on, PS5, Switch 2, or Xbox Series X, plus the preorder bonus costumes if you purchase your copy before launch.

Instead, it acts as a physical DRM key that grants you access to the digital version of the game. You'll have to download the game to your Switch 2 before you can start playing. Pragmata will take up an estimated 17GB of storage space on your Switch 2's internal hard drive or microSD Express card.

Physical preorders are available at Amazon for $60, and we expect more retailers will have the game soon. Digital preorders are also available on consoles and PC.

While Diana isn't a fighter, she can ride shotgun on Hugh's back and hack them so that their weak points can be exposed. Hugh can then finish them off, using his arsenal of weapons. Together, the duo will have to dodge the hostile machines and solve puzzles on the fly if they hope to return to Earth.

The release of the upcoming RPG Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic is likely far, far away. While last night's announcement trailer at The Game Awards 2025 was surely exciting for Knights of the Old Republic fans, the truth is that the game, led by original KOTOR and Mass Effect director Casey Hudson, is in a very early stage of development.

According to the official Star Wars website, Hudson's new studio, Arcanaut Studios, was formed just this year, after his previous studio closed in November 2024. The studio's careers page contains listings for several senior-level positions, so the announcement trailer also doubles as a recruitment advertisement, a tactic that developers often employ.

With the lengthy development cycles that high-profile games undergo these days, we're probably years away from seeing anything concrete from Fate of the Old Republic, and even further from a release. Skepticism about the game even releasing this decade is quite reasonable.

Gears of War fans hoping to see a new trailer for the upcoming prequel, Gears of War: E-Day, may have been disappointed that it skipped The Game Awards this year. That may be why the official Gears of War social media accounts have shared a message assuring fans that E-Day is still coming in 2026.

The image shared on the Gears of War X account didn't share any spoilers and it was just a skull set against some haunting red and black shades. But it did confirm the 2026 release window.

For now, Gears of War: E-Day is only confirmed for Xbox Series X|S and PC. However, it seems very likely to be the second game in the franchise to make the leap to PlayStation 5, given that Gears of War: Reloaded--a remake of the original game--became the first title in the series to appear on a Sony console. Cliff Bleszinski--the co-creator of the franchise--has mentioned that he's happy that the Gears of War games are no longer exclusive to a single console.

The Independent Workers' Union of Great Britain (IWGB) has shot back at Rockstar Games regarding the firing of 30+ staffers, saying that the company's latest statement is "littered with falsehoods and disinformation."

IWGB released a statement clarifying its take on Rockstar Games' justification for terminating the 30+ UK and international employees in October 2025. Parent company Take-Two Interactive explained that the GTA developer fired those workers for "gross misconduct, and for no other reason." More specifically, Rockstar Games told GameSpot that those developers were let go for discussing "specific game features from upcoming and unannounced titles" and other "confidential information" in a public forum. IWGB took issue with that, telling GameSpot that the characterization is inaccurate.

"Rockstar's latest statement is littered with falsehoods and disinformation--they have given multiple, conflicting reasons to explain why the workers were fired, as if attempting to reverse engineer a rationale for the dismissals," the union said in an emailed statement. "Once again, they have chosen to mischaracterise workers speaking about their working conditions in a private forum as 'leaking information.' It is hard to understand this statement as anything but a desperate attempt to deflect from the global scrutiny they have come under over the last month. From the UK Prime Minister in the House of Commons, to the game developers across the world erupting in protest--all eyes are on Rockstar and their lawless attack on the people who make them their billions."

Donkey Kong Bananza's digital edition is discounted to $59.49 (was $70) at Amazon until December 12 at 5 PM PT / 8 PM ET. You can also get a nice deal on a bundle with the game and the Emerald Rush DLC that drops the price from $90 to $76.49. Both deals are late additions to Amazon's 24-hour Game Awards Sale. Donkey Kong Bananza was nominated for Game of the Year and won the award for Best Family Game.

Developed by the Super Mario Odyssey team, Donkey Kong Bananza earned fantastic reviews when it launched in July, including a 9/10 from GameSpot. It currently holds a 91 Metascore on review aggregator Metacritic (a GameSpot sister site). The Emerald Rush DLC released in September for $20, so the bundle deal effectively drops the price to $6.50 for new players--but only if you buy the bundle.

Winter doesn't technically arrive until December 21, but Fanatical is getting a jump on the season with its Winter Sale 2025. Like all sales at the retailer, you'll find hundreds of PC games available for cheap--almost all of which are offered as Steam keys. Some high-profile titles are on sale, including some of 2025's best like Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and Elden Ring: Nightreign, as well as discounts for upcoming titles like Crimson Desert and Resident Evil Requiem. Along with the discounts, customers can also unlock a free Winter Bonus Drop when spending over $15 on a single order. This could be anything from a free game to a discount coupon.

See all deals at Fanatical

If you happened to miss The Game Awards, all you really need to know is that Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 walked away with pretty much every trophy. And if you still haven't jumped into the story-rich RPG, you can pick it up for just $36 (was $50). No doubt it's an iconic game, and we'd contend it's worth purchasing even at full price--it was GameSpot's Game of the Year, after all. So at $36, it's hard to pass up. Along with a memorable cast of characters and a fantastic story, its tense, turn-based combat offers plenty of flexibility thanks to some real-time mechanics and dozens of ways to customize your party.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance II was also at The Game Awards, and right now you can add it to your Steam library for $36 (was $60). It's a remarkable improvement over the original, and it's a sprawling open-world action RPG that gives you good reason to stay inside during the winter. A similar open-world RPG option that's a bit cheaper is Dragon's Dogma 2, as it's $25.19 (was $70). It doesn't have a traditional fast travel system, but that only means you'll have more time to wander its gigantic open world overflowing with dynamic encounters and side-quests.

Developer id Software, a Texas-based studio known for the Doom games (including The Game Awards-winning The Dark Ages), has, has formed a union under the Communications Workers of America (CWA). It's a "wall-to-wall" guild built to protect employees from AI while negotiating for ample benefits, such as remote work, and Microsoft appears to have recognized the studio's union.

In a press release on the CWA's website, id Software's 165-person union will join the CWA Local 6215 division in Richardson, Texas. Producer Andrew Willis noted how important it is for workers to fight back against the injustices facing the games industry at the moment.

"The wall-to-wall organizing effort at id Software was much needed; it's incredibly important that developers across the industry unite to push back on all the unilateral workplace changes that are being handed down from industry executives," Willis said. "The union is a way for us, the developers, to take back control of the industry we love and to ensure that it delivers high-quality products from high-quality workers who have health benefits and longevity beyond quarterly profits."

One of the biggest surprises of 2025 was Microsoft's push to bring even more of its games to PlayStation, its longtime rival in the console gaming space. Not only have those ports been well received, but they've also been best-sellers, and next year will see the arrival of Halo and Forza Horizon on PlayStation. In a new interview, Microsoft's president of game content and studios, Matt Booty, spoke about the success of Xbox games on PS5 and the reaction to Halo's announcement for PS5.

"We had a bit of a moment earlier in the summer from end of April to end of June, where we had six of the top 10 games on PlayStation were our Xbox games," Booty said to Variety. "I look at that as validation for the teams, but most importantly, it's an opportunity for more players to engage with our content, to come into our worlds."

Halo has long been considered the crown jewel of Xbox, and the next game in the franchise, a campaign-only remake of the original titled Halo: Campaign Evolved, will launch simultaneously on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PS5 in 2026. Booty said the announcement was well received and that Microsoft was really pleased with its efforts to bring its content to more people.

One of the biggest pieces of news in gaming this year was EA's announcement that it was selling itself for $55 billion to investors including Saudi Arabia. The announcement of the deal has sent shockwaves through the gaming world, and now Head of Xbox Game Studios Matt Booty has commented on the deal, saying the price tag reflects how big video games have come in the global media landscape.

"Games have really become a foundational part of entertainment," Booty told Variety. "And as such, I think we're seeing these valuations and transactions that really reflect their place in modern entertainment."

The price of the sale "reflects the value that exists in all of" the gaming IP that EA owns, including Madden, FC, and The Sims, Booty said.

This hasn't been the best year for Call of Duty, with sales for Black Ops 7 faltering compared to 2024's Black Ops 6. Xbox Game Studios head Matt Booty touched on this year's installment of the military shooter series, and although he didn't address sales numbers directly, he did acknowledge the hardships of the franchise's annual model.

Speaking to Variety, Booty said that "shipping a major franchise like clockwork every year is a really difficult task, and I’m really proud of what the team did to move the franchise forward in that way."

A new Call of Duty game has been released every year since the franchise's beginning in 2003, and it doesn't appear that Xbox-owned publisher Activision will stop this pattern any time soon. The only change to the release model is that the series will no longer release back-to-back installments of the same subseries, as Modern Warfare and Black Ops have both done.
