Arc Raiders finally lifts the curtain on its Expedition rewards, showing us what players can expect to get for retiring and prestiging their Raiders later this month
We've rounded up the best deals for Saturday, December 6, below, so don't miss out on these limited-time offers.
The best deal of the weekend is the Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundle, which is on sale for $449. That's the price of a standard Nintendo Switch 2, which means you're essentially scoring Mario Kart World for free. If you're planning on picking up a Switch 2 for yourself or as a gift this holiday season, today is the best time to buy one.
The Nintendo Switch 2 version of Star Wars Outlaws is on sale this weekend for $29.99, which is a steal for one of the hybrid system's best third-party games. This version of Star Wars Outlaws is the Gold Edition, packing in all the DLC and updates that released.
Death Stranding 2: On The Beach is still my favorite game of 2025, featuring a vast world to explore, rich characters and narrative, and an astounding score. Ahead of Black Friday, you can score DS2 for $49.99 and embark across Mexico and Australia yourself. If you've been holding out on this game, today is a great time to pick up a copy and experience the latest from Hideo Kojima.
Target has the exclusive Ghost of Yotei Limited Edition DualSense on sale for $64.99 this weekend. Normally $84.99, this controller sports a unique design, featuring a gold brushed design all over the front. In my opinion, this is one of the best limited edition DualSense controllers PlayStation has released, only behind the 30th Anniversary and Astro Bot models.
Astro Bot is a must-own game for any PlayStation 5 owner for many reasons. The fun platforming adventure is a trip across PlayStation's iconic history of games, with cameos from many of the beloved characters that shaped each console generation. Today, you can score Astro Bot for $39.99 at Amazon,
2025 had numerous horror games released, and if you missed out on Cronos: The New Dawn, now is the time to buy, as Amazon has the game discounted $20. Cronos puts you in the shoes of The Traveler, who is sent back in time in areas where a virus has ravaged humanity.
Silent Hill 2 is available for $29.99 at Amazon as part of Black Friday sales. The Bloober Team-developed remake brought new life to the iconic Konami game, depicting the story of James Sunderland as he travels to Silent Hill after receiving a letter from his dead wife. With revamped combat, a rerecorded soundtrack, and new story additions, Silent Hill 2 is a fantastic horror game that is worth experiencing.
The 2025 edition of CCXP in São Paulo, Brazil, is happening at this very moment, and the Disney+ panel is in progress, featuring Percy Jackson Season 2, Paradise Season 2, and of course some Marvel goodies as well, specifically some in-the-room-only footage from both the upcoming Wonder Man and Daredevil: Born Again Season 2.
Here's what we saw:
Wonder Man stars Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as the title character, aka Simon Williams, who is an actor in Hollywood who just happens to also have superpowers. Ben Kingsley returns to the MCU as that universe's other most notable actor, Trevor Slattery, for what looks to be a comedic look at the world of superhero filmmaking -- and maybe superhero fatigue as well.
At one point in the sneak peek, we see Williams get frustrated and smash a table, revealing his powers which have largely been held back in the marketing of this series so far (and in the character's life apparently as well, since we know from the trailers that he has to sign an agreement in one scene that says he doesn't have powers before he can audition for the role). This moment of table-destruction was previously glimpsed in a Disney+ trailer for their various upcoming series, but any real look at Williams' abilities remains elusive with the series' debut coming on January 27.
Learn more about Marvel's Wonder Man here.
On the Daredevil: Born Again front, the exclusive CCXP footage showed off several noteworthy bits and pieces, including the return of Krysten Ritter to the MCU as Jessica Jones, Matt Murdock's former fellow Defender (though you can't blame them if they don't talk much about that), Charlie Cox's Matt having what looks like a seizure, Wilson Bethel's Dex/Bullseye possibly drinking a milkshake ("I drink your milkshake!"), Vincent D'Onofrio's Wilson Fisk boxing a guy, lots of fighting (of course), and... our first look at Matthew Lillard as a new antagonist for the Man Without Fear named Mr. Charles.
According to Entertainment Weekly, via The Direct, Marvel’s Head of TV and Animation Brad Winderbaum had this to say about the character: "He plays a character named Mr. Charles. The story is about power. When Wilson Fisk takes over New York, not just as a mayor but as a king in a way, it puts him in a new class of power players on the international stage. Matthew Lillard's character represents that."
Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 will debut on March 4, 2026, and a third season is also in the works.
Dig in below on the previous season of the show with our spoiler chat with Charlie Cox, Vincent D’Onofrio, and directors Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead:

After the huge success of the Amazon Fallout TV show, some have wondered whether The Elder Scrolls, Bethesda’s fantasy video game franchise, might be next in line for an adaptation. But what does Bethesda boss Todd Howard think?
In an interview with Eurogamer ahead of the launch of Fallout Season 2, Howard refused to rule out the possibility of an Elder Scrolls TV show, but did suggest the post-apocalyptic sci-fi franchise Fallout was better suited to an adaptation.
"I will say this, the Fallout journey was like a 10 year one," Howard replied to the suggestion of an Elder Scrolls adaptation. "After Fallout 3, people were asking to do a movie or show for Fallout, and we really took our time."
Howard "can't rule in or rule out an Elder Scrolls thing in the future," Eurogamer said, but he also believes the Fallout franchise was "more uniquely suited" and had "more to say in its genre.”
Howard continued: "But, you never know. I think the impact of the show on Fallout as a franchise has been bigger than I expected, so it does make you think like, 'Hey, is there a path?' But, nothing today... [and] I'm willing to say 'no' for a decade."
The Fallout series is wide-ranging in tone and content. Indeed, Season 2 star Macaulay Culkin touched on this in a recent interview with IGN, explaining why he’s so big into the Fallout lore.
“You could have zombies in it, you have deathclaws, you have monsters and things like that,” he said. “I mean, gosh, you have aliens. You name it, you can throw it at the wall. Even Fallout 76, I mean, the Mothman is now fair game. It is that kind of stuff. There's no really shape to it. You can kind of stick any kind of shape piece into that hole.”
And in any case, there’s no sign of Fallout slowing down when it comes to the TV series. Season 3 is already confirmed, and its stars have indicated they’d be willing to continue playing their characters for many more series beyond that. In May, Aaron Moten, who plays Brotherhood of Steel hopeful Maximus, said the Fallout series’ “endpoint” runs until Season 5 or Season 6.
“When I signed on to do the series, we would have a starting point and they gave me the endpoint,” Moten said. “And that endpoint hasn’t changed. But it is Season 5, 6 type of endpoint.
“We’ve always known that we were gonna take our time with the development of the characters.”
Perhaps when that is done and dusted, Bethesda might turn its attention to an Elder Scrolls adaptation. Will The Elder Scrolls 6 be out by then? One can only hope.

The Lord of the Rings movies are coming back to theaters next year to celebrate the 25th anniversary of The Fellowship of the Ring — but be prepared to strap yourself in for the long haul, as they’re all the Extended Editions.
Fathom Entertainment will release all three Extended Editions from Peter Jackson’s trilogy in DBOX presentation from January 16-18, then in standard formats from January 23-25, in theaters nationwide as part of a two-weekend event.
Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings movies are long enough in standard form, but the Extended Editions are epics. The Return of the Kind Extended Edition, for example, is nearly four-and-a-half hours long including credits.
Perhaps wisely, Fathom is staggering the release of the movies across each weekend period, so you can’t watch all three Extended Editions back-to-back. That might be for the best, since doing so would take you nearly 12 hours!
There’s merch, too, to go along with this re-release. AMC theaters will have a popcorn bucket with a map of Middle-earth, and Regal will have a popcorn bucket with a One Ring design, Variety reported.
Of course, Warner Bros., which is in the process of being acquired by Netflix, is gearing up to release a brand new The Lord of the Rings movie in 2027. The Hunt for Gollum is set to chronicle a period between the events of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings where numerous characters are searching for the all-important Ring, previously known to be in Gollum's possession.
Gandalf is known to be searching for clues as to Gollum's whereabouts, and even enlists the help of Fellowship member Aragorn. Both are attempting to beat the agents of Sauron to discovering the Ring's location — something glimpsed briefly in The Fellowship of the Ring, where the words "Baggins" and "Shire" are extracted from Gollum via torture in Mordor.
It has now been more than 20 years since audiences first saw the much-loved Fellowship characters sail off from the Grey Havens at the end of Return of the King. With Hunt for Gollum set several years prior to this, it remains to be seen whether some form of digital de-aging will be used as older actors reprise their roles. Indeed, Legolas actor Orlando Bloom has previously expressed interest in also returning, though suggested "AI would have to come into play."
To date, only Gollum actor Andy Serkis, who is directing The Hunt for Gollum, himself has confirmed he will appear in the film, though Aragorn actor Viggo Mortensen has said he is also open to returning, and it very much sounds like Elijah Wood will reprise his role as Frodo. The Hunt for Gollum is due to begin filming in New Zealand next year, ahead of its release on December 17, 2027.

I've always loved The Lord of the Rings. I wouldn't necessarily say I'm fanatical about it, though. I already own copies of the books and the movies, so I'm not usually swayed by the endless barrage of Lord of the Rings gifts the internet seems to throw my way. I do really like the look of this Battle for Middle-Earth Chess set, however. I've seen a lot of really cool chess sets in my day, but this one appears to be surprisingly well done for how affordable it is. I don't even play that much chess and I've found myself adding it to my Christmas wishlist this year.
This chess set is made by The Noble Collection, which I do actually have some experience with already. They create all kinds of gifts for various popular fandoms like The Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter. You might be most familiar with its collection of Harry Potter wands, which the company first began releasing back in 2004. The Noble Collection is generally known for making high quality products at affordable prices, including a variety of chess sets like this one. There's even a high-end $500 version of this same thing that is absolutely glorious, though that is way out of my price range.
If you're on the hunt for more Lord of the Rings gifts like this one, we have found quite a few. There's the deluxe illustrated version of the books, Lord of the Rings puzzles, board games, and even a LEGO book nook available.
Timothée Chalamet and writer-director Josh Safdie took the stage at CCXP in São Paulo, Brazil, today to hype up fans for Marty Supreme (review), the duo's upcoming, highly buzzed-about film.
During the panel, which saw the actor donning a Brazilian flag with his face on it at one point -- plus an array of ping-pong-headed men accompanying him, Chalamet was asked what moves him to aspire to greatness in his career.
"The people that inspired me to become an actor in the first place," responded the Dune star. "The greats before me, the Denzel Washingtons, the Leonardo DiCaprios, the people that laid a path that you aspire to as a young man, as a young artist. You get inspired by these people when you're young and sometimes the world puts you down and doesn't encourage you to dream. And this movie is exclusively about that. It's about following your dreams. Even driving here through Sao Paulo, always taking a moment to be grateful for the opportunities I had in my life. Going to the Performing Arts High School in New York, being surrounded by artists to be able to pursue my dreams, because you need people in your corner that support you."
"Equally, Marty Supreme is about an underdog, it's about believing your dreams when no one has your back, when no one believes in you, when the people you think love you the most, that claim to be in love with you, don't have your back. And then he's somehow persevering through it to be the greatest table tennis player of all time."
In his review of Marty Supreme, IGN's Michael Calabro said it was "equal parts fun and stressful" and that "Marty Supreme combines the chaotic directing style of Josh Safdie with the charisma of Timothée Chalamet to make a one-of-a-kind ping pong movie that is, without a doubt, one of the year’s best films.
Marty Supreme hits theaters on Christmas Day.
If you missed out on the budget gaming PC deals during Black Friday, here's yet another opportunity before the year's end. Lenovo has discounted its Lenovo LOQ AMD Ryzen 7 8745HX RTX 5060 Ti gaming PC down to just $949.99 with free delivery after applying coupon code "EXTRAFIVE". This is one of the lowest prices I've seen on an RTX 5060 Ti equipped gaming PC, from Lenovo or otherwise. The LOQ is Lenovo's budget line of gaming PCs. Despite the fact that it's less expensive than Lenovo's Legion lineup, the LOQ offers current-gen components (including Nvidia RTX 50 series GPUs) packed in an understated, compact chassis with proper airflow.
The Lenovo LOQ gaming PC is equipped with an AMD Ryzen 7 8745HX GPU GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB GPU, 32GB of DDR5-5200MHz RAM, and a 1TB NVMe SSD. The AMD Ryzen 7 8745HX is an 8-core, 16-thread processor with a max boost clock of 5.1GHz. It's a solid general-purpose CPU that complements the RTX 5060 Ti GPU well, especially since it's paired with a generous 32GB of RAM. The system is powered by a 500W power supply.
The RTX 5060 Ti is an excellent GPU for 1080p gaming. It outperforms the RTX 4060 Ti by about 20%, but the gap widens in games that support DLSS 4 technology with multi-frame generation. It's also obviously better than the RTX 5060. Keep in mind that this PC is equipped with the RTX 5060 Ti 8GB variant, not the 16GB. If you decide to play more demanding games at 1440p or higher, you'll encounter more instances where you'll run out of VRAM. For 1080p, however, you're fine.

Prime Video brought the cast of Fallout to CCXP in São Paulo, Brazil, today to, ahem, prime fans for Season 2 of the hit show, which will be arriving in less than two weeks. On hand were Ella Purnell (Lucy MacLean), Aaron Moten (Maximus), Walton Goggins (The Ghoul), and Justin Theroux (Robert Edwin House), who joins the show for the new season as the villain fans will remember from New Vegas.
During the panel, a scene from the new season was revealed, and you can watch a shorter version of it right here. (You'd have to fly to Brazil for the extra 30 seconds or so.) Featuring the video game location of Novac and Dinky the T-Rex, the scene would seem to be just a taste of the many game references the new season will be including as the story delves into the New Vegas of it all...
Watch the first clip from Fallout: Season 2 below.
Obviously Lucy and The Ghoul are still working together, though neither one seems particularly pleased about it. But, man, if The Ghoul doesn't need a hand at the moment...
"I think so much of Lucy and The Ghoul is revealed over the course of this apocalyptic road trip they take," Goggins told the crowd. "Ella was saying that either she'll become more like me or I'll become more like her. And it really is through this rhythm that you see The Ghoul change, and Lucy change! But for me, [The Ghoul's human persona] Cooper Howard, you got to know him a bit in Season 1, but Season 2 is a deep dive and deep exploration picking up where we left off in Season 1 about how much, how little he knows about the world that he thought he knew. And so much of The Ghoul is informed by Cooper Howard's experience in the past, and it's the way in which these writers architected it. The way in which the directors chose to tell the story visually, it's very powerful and very cinematic. And I'll be the third person [here] to say, I can't wait for you guys to see it!"
Fallout Season 2 debuts on December 17 on Prime Video, with a new episode dropping each week until the season finale on February 4.

The Secretlab Christmas Sale has officially commenced starting today. Save up to $100 off Secretlab's popular gaming chairs including its flagship Titan Evo Nanogen chair, up to $249 off its gaming desks, and up to 37% off accessories like the Titan Evo recliner add-on. In addition to the instant discounts, you can get extra tiered savings by hitting a certain order amount for each type of purchase. These should be stackable with the instant discounts.
It's no secret that we love our Secretlab gaming chairs. Three of the eight chairs in our best gaming chair roundup are Secretlab models. Of all the gaming chairs we covered in our "Budget to Best" roundup video earlier this year, my colleague Akeem Lawanson considered the Secretlab Titan Evo to be the most comfortable. No good chair comes cheap and Secretlab chairs definitely cost a premium, but we think the craftsmanship, materials, and customizability are worth it.
You can quickly browse through all of the listed products on sale above. For more information on each product and why they are worth your consideration, read through below.
The Titan Evo Nanogen Edition is on sale for the first time ever. It normally sells for $799 at Secretlab direct, but there's a $50 off discount during the Christmas Sale. If your budget can accomodate it, this is the best gaming chair. In our recent Titan Evo Nanogen Edition review, Chris Coke wrote that "the Secretlab Titan Evo Nanogen Edition deserves every bit of the overwhelming praise I’ve given. Granted, at $799 it’s significantly more expensive than the original and not far off from an entry-level Herman-Miller. But the return it offers in comfortable, supportive gaming is well worth the extra cost thanks to dramatically improved materials in both the fabric and multi-layered padding. The Titan Evo Nanogen Edition is class-leading, and is hands-down the most comfortable gaming chair I’ve ever used."
The Titan Evo starts at $499 during the sale. This is Secretlab's flagship chair and it's available in small, medium, and large sizes. Upholstery options include Neo Hybrid leatherette, SoftWeave Plus fabric, or premium Napa leather. The chair features cold-cure foam upholstery for the seat, a supportive four-way lumbar system, full length backrest with 165 degrees of recline, full metal 4D armrests with magnetically attached PU cushions, and a memory foam headrest pillow.
Aside from the build quality, the Titan Evo also stands out thanks to the sheer number of officially licensed designs from popular video games, TV shows, and more. Some of the more popular examples include Star Wars, The Witcher, Overwatch, Attack on Titan, League of Legends, World of Warcraft, and Game of Thrones. They generally cost more than the standard colors, but they're worth it if you're looking for that extra personal touch.
In our Secretlab Titan Evo review, Chris Coke wrote that "after two years of daily use, the Secretlab Titan Evo has proven that it can stand the test of time and still be one of the best gaming chairs you can buy. Meaningful ergonomics paired with Secretlab’s wide selection of designs, it remains a fantastic option, especially for fans of bright colors or designs."
The Titan Evo Lite gaming chair is an excellent value with its starting price tag of $419, which is $80 less than the base model Titan Evo. It's built upon the same frame as the Titan Evo and has the same core features like the cold-cure foam cushioning, lumbar, 165 degrees of recline, and 4D armrests. What it compromises on is customization, with "only" two upholstery options, two sizes, and five colors, a non-adjustable lumbar system, simpler arm rests, and no included head rest. If none of these tradeoffs bother you, then you'll be saving quite a bit of money.
Also on sale for the first time, Secretlab's new recliner add-on is $30 off for Christmas. This is a nice upgrade for anyone who already owns the Titan Evo chair. In our recliner add-on review, Chris Coke wrote that "while both comfort and value are subjective things, the recliner is able to take the Titan Evo and transform it from one of the best racing style gaming chairs to standing head and shoulders above the competition at its price point. It’s novel enough that I wouldn’t be surprised to see other brands following suit in the near future. If you don’t mind paying for it, it’s an absolutely killer upgrade for your gaming chair."
Not only are the Magnus and Magnus Pro discounted for the holidays, you also get the desk mat topper (your choice of style) free of charge. The Magnus is a traditional fixed-frame gaming desk while the Magnus Pro ups the ante with a custom designed electric standing desk frame for an additional $250. Both desks feature an all-metal desktop surface, solid steel legs and cleverly thought out areas for cable management, but the Magnus Pro has some really unique features including a power cable that runs internally inside one of the telescoping legs and an in-line control panel.
In our Secretlab Magnus Pro review. Mark Knapp writes that "the Secretlab Magnus Pro is a fantastic desk, bringing the brilliant cable management solutions of the original Magnus to a fast, quiet, and wide-ranging motorized standing desk. The desk is built well and proves an excellent platform for work and play alike. It’s an expensive desk though, and for the money, it would have been nice to see a smarter safety mechanism for the motors and the desk mat included. Still, the overall quality you get is a big step up from cheaper standing desks, and the optional accessories truly enhance the experience. Anyone who’s not committed to a standing desk should save their money and go for the standard Magnus if everything else about this model sounds good, but for gamers who love a tidy desk and want the flexibility of a standing desk, the Magnus Pro should be the first they consider."
