If you bring your Nintendo Switch 2 with you on all your travels, a reliable case is a necessity. While Turtle Beach is known for its catalog of quality gaming gear, and naturally has plenty of fantastic Switch 2 cases on the market already, the manufacturer is launching a new case next month that's specifically designed for robust protection while traveling. The Turtle Beach PlayTrek 2-in-1 Case is--as its name suggests--two cases bundled in one, allowing you to pack heaps of accessories in a larger hardshell unit, or head out with just your Switch using the slim case. The PlayTrek 2-in-1 Case for Switch 2 launches November 12, but you can preorder it now for $50.54 at Amazon. Like the rest of PowerA's Switch 2 gear, this is an officially licensed product.

Turtle Beach PlayTrek 2-in-1 Case $50.54 | Releases November 12

This 2-in-1 case features a detachable, slim top case connected to a larger case. Both are hard-sided (EVA molded shells and TPU-coated polyester) to protect your gear from drops and scratches, and there are interior padded flaps that add another layer of protection for the Switch 2 screen.

The larger bottom container can hold your dock, AC adapter, Joy-Con controllers, and a wireless controller. The slim case can hold your Switch 2 console and a few game cards, and a small zippered pouch holds a few additional accessories like earbuds. An adjustable shoulder strap connects to the large container for easy transport, and there's an additional, smaller neoprene handle for added versatility. It's design is quite minimal, featuring a largely black color palette, plus a few red and blue accents throughout. So if you want a carrying case that doesn't scream "gamer," this might be a good choice.

Don't need the big case? The slim case is available on its own for $20.

Turtle Beach also offers the PlayTrek Travel Case, which is available now and compatible with Switch 2, Switch OLED Model, and the original Switch. It looks similar to the new PlayTrek Slim Case that comes in the 2-in-1 bundle--including a padded screen flap, zippered pouch, and space for several game cards--but features flat sides and rounded edges, compared to the 2-in-1's Slim Case, which features bumps for the analog sticks. The other big difference is the look--the PlayTrek Travel Case is available in four versions, including two $30 models featuring lenticular images of Donkey Kong or Mario, and $25 Charcoal Black and White models that offer a more muted, monochromatic look.

It's a top seller for Switch 2, and it's sitting with 4.7 stars on Amazon with over 1,200 reviews.

RDS Industries, meanwhile, has churned out a bunch of unique Switch 2 cases. From the Hard Shell Switch Controller Case to the Deluxe Vertical Crossbody Bag, there are plenty of cool choices. These are all quite affordable too, with all of them clocking in under $30 (except for the big Game Traveler Deluxe System Case, which lets you shlep around your console, dock, Pro Controller, and other accessories and costs $40).

Sonic the Hedgehog Comic Box Set: Volumes 1-3

$19.92 (was $36) | Eligible for B1G1 50% Off

Sonic the Hedgehog has had a great run of video games and live-action movies recently, but some of the Blue Blur's best adventures can be found in IDW Publishing's long-running comic book series. Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and many other characters from Sega's iconic franchise have starred in over 100 issues since 2018, and you can get dozens of them for cheap right now. The premium Sonic the Hedgehog IDW Collection hardcovers are steeply discounted, and Volumes 1-4 are eligible for Amazon's Buy Two Get One 50% Off Book Sale.

Each Sonic the Hedgehog: The IDW Collection hardcover retails for $60, but if you buy two, you'll wind up paying approximately $25 per book. This is quite the bargain, as each collection includes around 300 pages of full-color comics.

Sonic the Hedgehog: The IDW Collection The first four hardcover collections are B1G1 50% off

If you take advantage of Amazon's B1G1 50% off promotion, Volumes 1 and 2 will cost you just $51.35 total (was $120), while Volumes 3 and 4 are marked down to $48.55 (was $120). The first four hardcovers would normally cost you $240 total, but using the existing discounts and promotions, you can get them for $99.90 in total.

What's really nice about these hardcover editions is that they typically compile three of the standard trade paperback releases--around 12 issues in total--into an oversized format. These make for family-friendly reading as well, as Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, and new allies join forces to thwart the plans of Dr. Eggman. The series also has incredible art, thanks to a superstar team of illustrators.

The Art of Star Wars: A New Hope - The Manga Vol. 1

$50 | Releases June 16, 2026

Preorder at Amazon

It might have taken decades to be realized, but when Star Wars finally got a manga adaptation in 1997, it was a work of art. Illustrated by mangaka Hisao Tamaki, his work on capturing the magic of Star Wars: Episode 4 - A New Hope into a manga format is being collected into a new art book by Dark Horse Books. Following a successful Kickstarter campaign, Tamaki's original art boards for the adaptation are being collected into a new hardcover release that will be released on June 16, 2026. Priced at $50, The Art of Star Wars: A New Hope - The Manga is now available to preorder through Amazon.

The Art of Star Wars: A New Hope - The Manga Vol. 1 $50 | Releases June 16, 2026

This unique art book features high-resolution scans of Tamaki's original artboards from the first volume of the Star Wars: A New Hope manga. The artwork is presented with all the blemishes and production touches that are normally edited out before print, such as ink bleeds between panels, handwritten notes, and other elements from the illustration process. The art is presented alongside an all-new translation of the original Japanese lettering. The book also includes an in-depth interview with Tamaki.

Preorder at Amazon

The Art of Star Wars: A New Hope - The Manga, Vol. 1 only covers the initial part of the New Hope manga, but the official Star Wars manga series continued beyond Tamaki's run with similar adaptations of The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, and the first prequel film, The Phantom Menace--all of which are handled by different artists. The final volume's English version launched in 2015, and for now, there are no signs that the remaining five mainline films will be turned into manga. Nevertheless, the Star Wars manga is a novel way to re-experience (a portion of) the beloved saga. Print versions are hard to find, but you can grab digital Kindle editions of the Star Wars manga's 14-volume run at Amazon.

The mainline Star Wars films aren't the only Star Wars stories to get manga adaptations. There's also an ongoing manga version of the popular Disney+ streaming series The Mandalorian. Illustrated by Yusuke Osawa, the series has three volumes so far, each of which is a word-for-word recreation of the tale of Din Djarin and Grogu.

The Baltimore Ravens have gotten off to a 1-5 start this NFL season, and the coaching staff are apparently making moves to help turn things around, including removing certain items from the locker room, in an effort to help players focus.

According to reports, a series of leisure items--including video games, cornhole boards, a ping pong table, and a basketball hoop--have been removed from the team locker room for the time being.

Writer Sam Cohn of The Baltimore Sun said some Ravens players really enjoyed playing Super Smash Bros. in the locker room, with teammates crowding around to watch, but that's coming to an end for now. Players told The Sun that the coaching staff wanted to remove distractions for the players.

In 2006, Scarface: The World is Yours was released as an alternate timeline sequel to the classic 1983 film starring Al Pacino as Tony Montana. The game has been unavailable for a long time, but it's recently shown up as a pending re-release on Epic Games Store and Steam. However, no one seems to have heard of the publisher, EC Digital, and it's unclear if it's actually happening.

As reported by PC Gamer, Scarface: The World is Yours was accidentally released early on Epic Games Store, and the game page is still active. It's also listed on Steam, which included an explanation for the early release.

"Due to a technical issue during backend configuration, the game was unintentionally pushed live on a different platform earlier than planned. We want to clarify that our intended long-term release platform includes Steam, and we're now accelerating our efforts to finalize this version," the statement reads.

The idea of exclusive games in 2025 is "antiquated," according to Xbox president Sarah Bond. She said in a new interview that people are beginning to "evolve way past" the idea that a game should be exclusive to one store or device.

"The biggest games in the world are available everywhere. You look at Call of Duty, you look at Minecraft, you look at Fortnite, you look at Roblox ... that's actually what's really driving community in gaming. That's where people gather. And the idea of locking it to one store or one device is antiquated for most people," she told Mashable.

"You want to be able to play with your friends anywhere, regardless of what they're on. And we're really leaning into that with this experience [Rog Ally X]. It just opens up another way for you to play, as does cloud, as does PC as do the consoles we all have in the living room," she added.
