If Among Us players aren't too busy trying to root out imposters, the crewmates are getting a little taste of life on the farm in a new collaboration with Stardew Valley.

"The spacebeans yearn for the cozy charm of farm life, away from the sabotages of space," wrote developer Innersloth ​on the official site for Among Us. "They've gained inspiration from Stardew Valley--it has their two favorite things: tasks and NO Impostors. Unless...?"

From now until February 18, 2026, Among Us players can add the Stardew Cosmicube to their collection for free. And it comes with the following Stardew Valley-inspired cosmetics:

While Amazon's official Black Friday sale hasn't started just yet, we're already seeing early deals on everything from video games and hardware to movies and toys. One such deal is for the 17-inch interactive Stitch plush from Just Play, which is down to $50 (was $70) for a limited time. The 17-inch figure moves and speaks with over 100 voice lines, making for a life-like gift for fans of the movie. You can check out more info on the deal below, as well as see a few more Lilo and Stitch toys and collectibles that are on sale at Amazon.

Disney's Stitch 17-inch Interactive Plush $50 (was $70)

This life-sized interactive plush is inspired by the live-action remake of Lilo & Stitch that premiered earlier this year. It comes with six AA batteries to power its over 100 sound bites and motion features, and can be activated in multiple spots: touch his nose, tongue, belly, and left hand to get him moving and talking.

A similar 17-inch interactive plush figure for Angel--the pink alien of the same species as Stitch who first debuted in the Lilo & Stitch animated series that ran from 2003 to 2006--is also available. This one isn't on sale, so expect to pay the full $70 for her, but she has all the same features as the Stitch figure, and is worth considering as a companion for Stitch in your collection.

If the 17-inch version is a bit too expensive, there's also a 14-inch interactive Stich plush on sale for just $30 (was $46). This one features over 50 sounds and effects and light-up LED eyes that can be changed to different styles at the push of a button. The doll comes with three AA batteries.

Multiple EA Sports and 2K Sports titles are at least 50% off. Madden NFL 26 and EA Sports FC 26 are down to $35 (was $70).

Peacock's Twisted Metal TV show, which is based on Sony's game series, is coming back for a third season, it seems. Variety reported that the show will get a third season, but showrunner and co-creator Michael Jonathan Smith will leave.

The Hollywood trade site reported that The Boys writer David Reed will replace him in that role, and will be an executive producer as well as part of a deal with Sony Pictures Television. Deadpool veterans Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick are the other co-creators of Twisted Metal, and they are said to be returning for Season 3.

One of the Game Awards nominees, the PC smash hit Megabonk, is not going to be part of the awards show after receiving a nomination this week for Best Debut Indie Game.

The game's developer said on social media that they are "withdrawing from The Game Awards" because Megabonk is not actually his first game.

"It's an honor and a dream for Megabonk to be nominated for TGA, but unfortunately I don't think it qualifies for the category 'Debut Indie Game' I've made games in the past under different studio names, so Megabonk is not my debut game," the developer said.

If you've accepted the Our Presence Up There quest in Arc Raiders, you'll need to visit the Pattern House on Dam Battlegrounds and perform a few quick tasks. It's a relatively straightforward quest, but knowing where each objective is located can make things move much more quickly--which can be important in a high-traffic area like the Pattern House.

You don't need to extract to complete Our Presence Up There, but you'll be pretty close to an extraction point, so you might as well try to get out alive if possible. Additionally, the Pattern House is often home to a lot of really good loot (especially during a Night Raid), making it worth trying to haul some stuff back to Speranza.

When you're ready to get started on Our Presence Up There, follow the guide below.

Doom: The Dark Ages' latest update is making its Ripatorium horde mode even more customizable and the Doom Slayer even more powerful, with the ability to swap between melee weapons and Shield Runes on the fly.

The Ripatorium was introduced in August as a time-based horde mode that gave players the ability to customize enemy encounters. In Doom: The Dark Ages Update 3, the Ripatorium is now a round-based arena where players can fully customize how each round will play out.

Players can choose to have up to five rounds of enemy encounters, with up to 10 waves of enemies each. Other changes are relatively minor, like tweaks to line of sight in arenas and icons now appearing over the heads of the last few remaining enemies in a round. The addition of a passcode system for Ripatorium will make it so players can easily share their demonic arenas with others. Developer Id Software said it will be looking to curate some of the best custom encounters in order to make community-made Ripatorium presets.
