Xbox Series X|S users had to wait an entire year for Black Myth: Wukong to make the leap from PlayStation 5 and PC. Unfortunately, it went through some major compromises and a big visual downgrade according to a comparison by Digital Foundry.

Digital Foundry notes that the Xbox Series X port of Black Myth: Wukong can run at a higher resolution (1296p) than PS5 (1080p), which gives it a slight advantage in clarity and detail as well as its ability to deliver 60fps. However, that comes at the expense of the lumen lighting system in performance mode. The intriguing and visually arresting lighting of the PC and PS5 versions are noticeably missing on Xbox Series X. There are also more frequent drops and full-screen tearing on Xbox Series X.

Xbox Series S has even bigger struggles running Black Myth: Wukong, and can only do so with downgraded visuals and the absence of the lumen lighting system. It was previously rumored that technical issues with the Xbox Series S were behind the delay of the game's port, which publisher Game Science denied. The Game Science team has acknowledged that bringing the game to the Xbox consoles was unexpectedly difficult.

Mortal Kombat 2 was slated to begin its box office battle on October 24, but Warner Bros. and New Line have called an audible. The studios have decided to postpone the upcoming MK sequel until summer 2026.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Mortal Kombat 2 will now debut in theaters on May 15, 2026. Typically, the beginning of May isn't an ideal space for anything that isn't a big-budget blockbuster. But because Avengers: Doomsday was pushed to December 2026, there's no Marvel movie in the immediate vicinity of Mortal Kombat 2. That may give the sequel a better chance to break out from the pack than next month's crowded October slate would have.

The Boys' Karl Urban is the most prominent addition to the cast of Mortal Kombat 2 as the fan-favorite Hollywood actor Johnny Cage. Warner Bros. dropped a faux-trailer for Uncaged Fury--a fake Johnny Cage movie--before releasing the real trailer for Mortal Kombat 2 just a day later.

Lego DC Batman: The Animated Series Gotham City

$267 (was $300) | 4,210 Pieces

See at Walmart

Lego's highly detailed recreation of Gotham City's skyline is on sale at Walmart as part of the retailer's huge Lego sale dubbed Bricktember. The month-long event includes a bunch of exclusive Lego bundles and deals on seldom-discounted sets such as this Batman: The Animated Series display model. At 4,210 pieces, Batman: The Animated Series Gotham City is the largest Caped Crusader Lego set in print today.

Released last spring with a $300 price tag, this incredible piece of 3D wall art is on sale for $267 while supplies last. Bricktember runs until the end of September, but this is one of the deals that's very unlikely to remain in stock through the duration of the sale. The same goes for Walmart's stellar deal on Lego's Batman Construction Figure and Bat-Pod Bike. Normally $65, Batman fans can snag this 713-set based on The Dark Knight movies for only $45.
