It has been reported that Microsoft might further shake up Xbox Game Pass with new tiers of the service, and now one of them may have been revealed.

X user @redphx (via Windows Central) discovered references to something called "Triton," and it is said to be the name of a new tier of Game Pass that would only include first-party games from Xbox Game Studios. This could include games like Doom Eternal, Dishonored 2, Fallout 4, Halo 5, The Elder Scrolls Online, and State of Decay 2, among others. It's unclear if the supposed new Game Pass tier would include all first-party Xbox games or only some specific selection of them.

It's also possible Triton is an experiment and isn't planned for release at all. There is not much to go on at this stage, so the possible price, release timing, or other specifics are not available. GameSpot has contacted Microsoft seeking clarification.

There is no denying that the Switch 2 is crushing it. Its sales in the US are pacing 45% ahead of the original Switch over its first four months and most consoles in history. No data exists in a vacuum, though, and Switch 2 sales came in weaker than expected in certain overseas markets for the latest quarter, Nintendo said in February. Now, a report from Bloomberg claimed Nintendo is cutting Switch 2 production by 30% after weaker-than-expected demand during the holidays.

At the same time, the reporting said Nintendo remained on track to ship its forecasted 19 million Switch 2 units by the end of March, and in fact, the system is expected to reach the 20 million units that analysts are projecting. Nintendo, like other companies, is known to post intentionally conservative estimates in part so it can generate positive headlines when it exceeds them. As of December 31, Nintendo had sold 17.37 million Switch 2 consoles, so the 19 million forecast seems to be certainly on track.

He's the second-best astromech droid in the Star Wars galaxy--we all know Chopper from Rebels is the MVP--but there's still a lot to love about R2-D2. An icon of the Star Wars franchise, R2's tubular design has translated surprisingly well to Lego, and you can get a big discount on this cute and compact set. Normally $100, you can grab it for just $80 during the Amazon Spring Sale.

Measuring over nine inches tall once it has been fully constructed, the Lego R2-D2 is equipped with a 360-degree rotating head, detachable third leg for mobility, an attachable periscope, and optional tools that can easily be attached to its chassis. Like several other figures from Lego, you'll get an information plaque and a stand decorated with the LEGO Star Wars 25th Anniversary symbol, plus a few minifigures.

Amazon's Big Spring Sale rolls on today with even more deals, including a nice discount on PDP's Riffmaster guitar, which can be used with Fortnite Festival and Rock Band 4. Epic Games just recently announced that Fortnite Festival's Battle Stage is shutting down, but the two other modes are staying online. The PDP Riffmaster is currently on sale for $100, which is 33% off its normal $150 price point.

The Riffmaster guitar was built specifically for Fortnite Festival and originally came out in 2024. The wireless guitar controller works with PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch, but you need to buy a different model depending on your platform of choice, so be sure to double check that on Amazon.

It features a built-in, rechargeable battery that promises up to 36 hours of use per charge. The guitar also has a 3.5mm audio jack for playing with headphones, and PDP says it should work within a 30-foot area. Additionally, it has an analog stick on the back of the guitar's neck to help users navigate menus, and comes with a shoulder strap. It also has a collapsable design.

The final full week of March is coming to a close, and it has been a rollercoaster of emotions if you've been following the recent gaming news. Between showcases and turmoil in the industry, you never know what you're in for whenever you open your phone and start scrolling through your feed, but if you need a quick roundup, we're here to help. We've listed the biggest stories of the week below, so grab a fresh cup of your favorite hot beverage, settle down into a comfy seat, and take a quick dive into everything that happened this week.

• Epic is laying off more than 1,000 employees
• PlayStation is testing out dynamic pricing

This week had a lot of bad news, starting with Epic Games announcing that more than 1,000 people would be impacted by sweeping layoffs. CEO Tim Sweeney framed them as a necessary step to ensure sustainability, and the impact from losing hundreds of seasoned workers will see several Fortnite projects and games shut down or scaled back. Rocket Racing, Ballistic, and Festival Battle Stage will go offline later this year, while Horizon Chase and Horizon Chase Turbo will be removed from digital stores starting June 1. This comes in the wake of Epic hiking the price of Fortnite's in-game currency V-Bucks as player engagement has begun to dip as of late.

Rumors of Sony testing out dynamic pricing system have been circulating for years now, but it looks like it might be real after all. People browsing the PSN Store have reported seeing wildly different prices for games, but at least this week's PlayStation news can't get any worse…right?

One of the coolest--and most affordable--Nintendo collectibles you can get right now is an Amiibo. These miniature figures capture the likeness of Nintendo's many recognizable characters from series like Super Mario, Kirby, and The Legend of Zelda. The most prolific of these Amiibo collections is the Super Smash Bros. line, which features dozens of characters based on their appearances in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Some of these figures can be hard to track down, but thanks to Target, you can save big on select Smash Bros. Amiibo for a limited time, including Mario, Pikachu, Samus, and many more. On average, you can save $5 - $10 per Amiibo figure, and each one is compatible with Super Smash Bros. and various other Switch and Switch 2 games, meaning you can scan in the characters to unlock bonus content, track battler stats, and more. Check out the full list of discounted Smash Bros. Amiibo below.

• Bowser -- $35 ($40)
• Greninja -- $35 ($45)
• Jigglypuff -- $30 ($35)
• King Dedede -- $29 ($40)
• Mario -- $30 ($40)
• Pikachu -- $25 ($30)
• Rosalina and Luma -- $15 ($20)
• Samus -- $35 ($45)
• Sheik -- $35 ($40)
• Yoshi -- $40 ($50)
• Wario -- $35 ($50)

Our top recommendations here include Greninja, Wario, and Sheik, which ooze personality through their action-packed poses. Not only do these figures look great, but they can also battle in your stead in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. By simply tapping a compatible Amiibo to the NFC touchpoint on your Nintendo Switch Joy-Con or Pro controller, you'll get a figure player who'll appear in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and will fight on your behalf when you're away. These fighters can learn new abilities and tactics as they fight, and the more they battle, the more abilities they gain. They can be upgraded further, and when you're confident in their skills, you can send them out to battle against other players' amiibo fighters for you.

Of course, you'll need a copy of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate for this, and you can grab one at a slight discount on Amazon during its Spring Sale. Normally $60, it's on sale for $54.71. This is entirely optional, so if you just want a cool pocket-sized collectible, then these Amiibo figures will look great on your shelf or desk. For more Nintendo deals, check out these specials on the high-end 8BitDo Ultimate 2 controllers and the kid-friendly Mario-themed peripherals that'll work with Switch consoles. These deals are part of Amazon's Spring Sale 2026, which runs until March 31--but we've seen many deals selling out already, so check them out while you can.

It's official: Running Man star Glen Powell is the voice of Fox McCloud in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie. Earlier this week, Nintendo revealed that the ace pilot of the Star Fox series will appear in the sequel to The Super Mario Bros. Movie, but it left people guessing as to who exactly was voicing him.

That was until today, when the Top Gun: Maverick actor confirmed on his Instagram account that he was "born to Barrel Roll" and that he was providing his vocal talents to the film. The sequel already has a stacked cast, and includes the returning cast of Chris Pratt (Mario), Charlie Day (Luigi), Anya Taylor-Joy (Peach), Keegan Michael-Key (Toad), and Jack Black (Bowser) alongside newcomers Brie Larson (Rosalina), Donald Glover (Yoshi), and Benny Safdie (Bowser Jr.).

It's unclear yet just how big Fox McCloud's role will be in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, but his inclusion is a big surprise. Outside of the Smash Bros. fighting game franchise, McCloud has never visited the Mushroom Kingdom, and Nintendo generally keeps its franchises separate from one another. The Super Mario Galaxy Movie appears to be breaking those rules, as, alongside Star Fox, it looks like Pikmin will show up in the animated film.

Nintendo is expected to release a new Star Fox game in the summer and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake for Nintendo Switch 2 in 2026, according to a new round of leaks.

Following the confirmation of Fox McCloud's appearance in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie on Thursday, Nintendo fans speculated about whether or not the game series he's from could be making a return as well. Nate the Hate, a well-known insider who has accurately leaked details about Nintendo Directs in the past, confirmed that a new Star Fox game was in the works in a podcast.

According to Nate the Hate, it will be a "classic-style" Star Fox game with "very good" visuals and online multiplayer. The leaker didn't stop there, though, going on to explain that a new 3D Mario game wouldn't be coming out this year and that one of Nintendo's big games for the fall would be a remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, among other lower-profile titles and Nintendo Switch 2 Editions.
