Miss Piggy is getting her own movie at last.
As revealed on the postcast Las Culturistas and reported by Variety, Jennifer Lawrence and Emma Stone are teaming up to produce the film with Disney.
Cole Escola will reportedly write the screenplay, following their work writing the hit Broadway comedy Oh Mary! about Abraham and Mary Todd Lincoln, for which they also won best actor for their portrayal of Mary. Oh Mary! also received nominations for best play, best featured actor (Conrad Ricamora), and best costume design, and it won for best direction (Sam Pinkleton).
“I don’t know if I can announce this but I am just going to," Lawrence said on the podcast. "Emma Stone and I are producing a Miss Piggy movie and Cole is writing it." Lawrence added that she expects herself and Stone may co-star in the film.
Despite there being a long list of movies featuring The Muppets, and despite Miss Piggy's diva nature, this would be the first time Miss Piggy had her own film. It would also be the first major The Muppets film in over a decade. The last The Muppets movie was Muppets Most Wanted back in 2014. While we've since had various television series and direct-to-TV or streaming specials such as Muppets Haunted Mansion, the gang has been mysteriously missing from the big screen for a long time now. A 2023 television series, The Muppets Mayhem, was canceled after just one season.
Which is a shame, because we love The Muppets, Muppets Most Wanted included. We gave it an 8/10 all those years ago, saying it was a "fun, joyful film that once more reminds us why the Muppets are so wonderful."

The Fantastic Four: First Steps has landed on streaming a little over three months after arriving in theaters. The family-oriented flick joins the rest of the MCU on Disney+, which recently went through a new round of price hikes. Here’s what you need to know.
After October’s price increases, standalone Disney+ now starts at $11.99/month, with Premium subscribptions starting at $18.99/month. The spread of Disney+ bundles are all about $1-2 more expensive, save the new bundle with ESPN Unlimited which is still available at a small discount. To be honest, if you’re not already a subscriber, I’d recommend holding off until Black Friday deals.
The MCU’s first Fantastic Four movie grossed over $500 million at the global box office after landing in theaters on July 25. Yes, that does mean it trails behind DC's Superman (which you can stream on HBO Max), but as Carlos Morales so aptly writes for IGN, “It’s fine if not every superhero movie makes a billion dollars.”
Clint Gage's review of the movie for IGN speaks highly of the new cast: “There’s a charisma to each of them individually and chemistry between them all,” going so far as to say they feel like a “proper family.” Much of what resonated with this film is its portrayal of family, even for the cast themselves, as we spoke with star Vanessa Kirby earlier this year about her role as both a strong superhero and mother.
The MCU has a spread of Disney+ series in the works, including Wonder Man, Vision Quest, and a second season of Daredevil: Born Again. Big movies coming out next year include Spider-Man: Brand New Day (July 31, 2026), and, of course, Avengers: Doomsday (December 18, 2026), which will be the next time we get to see this version of the Fantastic Four. You can check out our ongoing list of upcoming Marvel projects for more details.
Marvel has slowly but surely grown its investment in physical releases. The Fantastic Four: First Steps has a particularly wide spread of options, including a standard 4K steelbook as well as retailer-exclusive steelbooks from Walmart and Amazon. The film is also available on Blu-ray. You can see the full spread of options below:
All versions come with a number of special features, including deleted scenes and a gag reel.

After another round of price hikes, it's worth paying closer attention to what Disney+ is offering its subscribers. Over the course of November, the streamer will get a selection of holiday-themed picks, particularly from the likes of Food Network, as well as a decent spread of rom-coms. From the MCU, we'll get the streaming release for Fantastic Four: First Steps, while a documentary about James Cameron's Avatar movies should give us a glimpse at Fire and Ash. And, of course, there's plenty of Disney Jr. series too.
Here's the full breakdown of what's hitting Disney+ in November.
Several series will release new episodes on Disney+ throughout November. Dancing With the Stars continues in its 34th season, with new episodes streaming on Tuesdays until the winner is crowned on November 25. Disney Twisted-Wonderland, the villain-themed anime, will get new episodes every Wednesday. Subscribers will also sporadically see new episodes from Marvel’s “Amazing Friends” Disney Jr. series.
A new update is that Disney+ will be getting a series of four The Simpsons shorts to complement the new Simpsons-themed season in Fortnite. You can learn more about those specials on the Fortnite site.
Starting off the month, the youngins will get several seasons of the animal-themed CoComelon series. Joy to the World, a collaboration with Hulu, kicks off the rom-com holiday season with a classic “pretend to be my boyfriend, oops now we're in love for real” scheme.
The big MCU streaming release of the month. First Steps introduced us to the MCU’s take on the Fantastic Four in a retro-futuristic version of the '60s. Clint Gage highlights the cast themselves in his review for IGN, describing a certain "charisma to each of them individually and chemistry between them all.” Definitely worth a watch, especially for anyone trying to do their homework before next year’s Avengers: Doomsday.
It’s documentary time. As you can glean from the title, Fire and Water will take a deep dive into the making of Avatar: The Way of Water while also, I imagine, giving us some fresh information about the upcoming sequel, Avatar: Fire and Ash. Love+War, another documentary from National Geographic, celebrates the work of photojournalist Lynsey Addario.
The theme continues with SEVENTEEN: Our Chapter, which follows the 13-member K-pop boy group preparing for a string of temporary absences. After premiering on November 7, new episodes will be released weekly on Fridays.
You’ll be able to watch this year’s induction ceremony through Disney+ starting at 8pm ET. Honorees include Outkast, the White Stripes, Soundgarden, and Cyndi Lauper.
The lega-sequel to 1999’s iconic body switch flick, Freakier Friday is coming to Disney+ a relatively standard three months after its initial release in theaters. In her review of the movie for IGN, Petrana Radulovic’s candid take was that "some of it slogs along, but thanks to Lohan and Curtis’s stellar performances and the underlying emotional strength of the story, the movie is a worthy sequel.”
Oh, Madame Web. Released as part of the Sony Spider-verse, which has reportedly been put to rest, Madame Web achieved near "It’s Morbin’ Time" levels of online notoriety. Francesca Rivera’s review for IGN doesn’t hold back in calling the film a “waste of talent,” but as someone who did pay money to see this in theaters, I think watching it at home with friends and no expectations could be a good time.
We’re also getting a new LEGO Marvel Avengers special. We don’t have too much information about it, other than a promotional image that shows a pretty massive spread of Marvel characters in plastic brick form. And yes, there is a Jo-Bros Christmas movie.
Disney has taken a few different approaches to modernizing its classic Mickey Mouse Clubhouse series. The Me and Mickey series, entering its fourth season, is a more interactive “vlogging” style with shorter-form videos. Mickey Mouse Clubhouse+ was just revived on Disney Jr. this past July, with a similar structure to the original series but with the addition of some new characters and hangout areas.
This one’s an interesting spread. We get documentaries about country icon Dolly Parton, as well as another update on Gypsy Rose. Otherwise, Disney+ is getting a spread of TV movies, including Lifetime’s Wrath installment in their Seven Deadly Sins series and the network's adaptation of A Day Late and a Dollar Short.
My personal favorite “holiday” series are all the baking and cooking specials, so thank you Food Network for offering up your Christmas Cookie Challenge.
Chris Hemsworth and his father Craig take a road trip across Australia, exploring how memories and their bond can help Craig’s battle with Alzheimer’s.
Disney+ will be releasing the restored and remastered episodes from the hallmark Beatles Anthology docu-series over the course of three days. The streamer will also be getting new episodes from Kiff, Marvel’s Spidey and his Amazing Friends, and the most recent spread of Chibi Tiny Tales shorts.
The fifth addition to Disney’s Prep & Landing animated TV special series will arrive on streaming the day after airing on the Disney Channel. An elf, Wayne, revisits his career working for Santa after a mission in the North Pole goes off the rails.
The Food Network series returns for its 12th season, bringing 10 bakers from across America to compete in a series of holiday-themed challenges. This year, bakers will be split into “Naughty” and “Nice” teams.
Disney+ streams are exclusive to Premium subscribers, offering a 24/7 run of themed episodes or specific series (a full circle to cable, in some ways). On November 4, Disney+ will launch “Seasons Streaming,” featuring a run of both Thanksgiving and holiday-themed episodes and movies. “Throwback” will launch on November 5, featuring a constant feed of Disney’s “greatest hits” from 2010 and earlier.
On October 21, all Disney+ plans increased by around $2-3/month, meaning you will see a higher charge on your account in November and going forward. You can check out our full breakdown of Disney+ pricing (including bundles), or see offers through Disney+ below. If the price hike is making you second guess the subscription, I won’t judge you for taking a look at how to cancel.
Today's Daily Deals are absolute bangers. I've got some of the best prices on Pokémon TCG products like the Mega Evolution Enhanced Booster Box and Team Rocket Tin, with the White Flare Booster Bundle now at market value on Amazon. Haven't got a Nintendo Switch 2 yet? How about a Mario Kart World bundle for under $445? See, told you it was a banger.
I've also got the Nintendo Switch 2 controller for just over $77, and a 145w Power Bank that's now an extra $5 cheaper than yesterday for $40.59. Speaking on controllers, if you couldn't justify $199.99 on a Dualsense Edge controller, I've got them coming in under $174.99. There's plenty of other deals coming in hot too, so let's get into it:
Brand new, genuine, imported, region unlocked units
If you still haven't yet picked up a Nintendo Switch 2 because it's too expensive, there is an opportunity to get one at a discounted price. AliExpress is offering a Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart World console bundle for just $442.72 (normally $500) after you apply a $100 off coupon code "AEUS100" during checkout. It ships free locally from the United States (which means no tariffs and no obnoxiously long wait times).
Note that the console is a Hong Kong import. All international Switch consoles are region unlocked, meaning they can be used in the US without any problems and without any modification. You'll also be able to select English as your default language. This specific model will come with a Hong Kong style plug, but a US adapter is included. Imported consoles do not get a US-based Nintendo warranty. Fortunately, Aliexpress offers a generous 90-day free return window.
This bad boy has enough watts and battery storage to power that new Nintendo Switch 2 on the go and your smart devices, and that goes for fast charging too. For just over $40, that's an amazing deal.
The Team Rocket Tin is $4 under market value on Amazon right now and has three Destined Rivals and two Journey Together booster packs. TCGPlayer takes the lead for the Mega Evolution Enhanced booster box, $20 below Amazon. And if you'd sooner take advantage of Prime Delivery, the White Flare Booster Bundle is at market value on Amazon. How can you loose?
Tyred of flat tyres? (Nope, not sorry). Well keeping this charged and in your glove box will save any roadtrip headaches, or atleast get you to the garage if you get a small puncture. It's also perfect for bike and motorbike tyres, not to mention basketballs and the like. Not bad for $14.99, night?
There's various different brands and colours of air dusters, not to mention power. But i've got one of these in my desk drawer, and it's perferct for cleaning out my gaming rig and hoovering out keyboards etc. There's a million other uses, but you won't understand how handy one of these are until you've got one.
Arguably one of the best controllers you can get right now. It'll work on PS5 and PC, and comes with all the gubbins a full price model would. If you love your DualSense but wish you could customise it without taking the thing apart, this is for you.
This is the kind of deal that beats Black Friday TV offers before they've even begun. 77-inches of LGs finest with $2,300 knocked off plus a free soundbar and wall mount packed in, which is another $299.98 saved. This is a dream gaming setup thanks to 120Hz native support that can be pushed to 144Hz through HDMI 2.1 inputs. Don't wait on this deal, this is one of LGs best panels for the money.
Sick of bulky gaming headsets? Well Steelseries has a $60 discount on their Arctis Earbuds that fit snug and have over 100 sound profiles for various games. They're great for on the go and versatile, working on pretty much anything whilst packing in Spatial Audio, Noise Cancellation and Bluetooth 5.3. So guess what? These are your new personal audio solution too, one set of earbuds for everything.
Waiting for a good Quest 3 deal on Black Friday? Well this was the same discounted price on Amazon last year and one of the best deals going right now. By using the code "TECH4THEM", you can knock 20% off and get peace of mind with a cheeky 2-year warranty. Plus you're buying from the official Meta Store.
If you want one of the best filament 3D printers that can handle multiple spools at once, Bambu Labs P1S is a fantastic choice even at full price. Best Buy has it as an Early Black Friday deal for $549 over $750, and its a steal. It just works, easy to maintain and can be operated via a mobile app. You're getting Premium 3D printing tech without the begginer headaches.
An Nvidia RTX 5080 build for near $2,000 would have been impossible just a few months ago, but as more stock hits the market and sneaker bros move onto scalp something else, the tech world is beggining to heal. Most Black Friday 5080 deals will bump towards the $2,500 mark, so this Alienware build is really worth a look.
The main highlights of these Pokémon TCG deals has to be the Black Bolt and White Flare Elite Trainer Boxes. White Flare is at market value for $82.94, whilst Black Bolt is dipping under market value at $84.95. It's a great time to get into the dual set that capped off the Scarlet and Violet era. Don't forget the latest set, Mega Evolution, either. TCGPlayer is destroying big box retailer Amazon in pricing right now, and that includes the Enhanced Booster Box featuring a stamped Bulbasaur Illustration Rare.
The biggest saving here is with the single Avatar Collector Booster. It's half the price of market value on Amazon now at $37.99, which is 100% worth the a look. Bar the Jumpstart Booster Box and Begginer Box, Amazon is under market value for preorders right now. Don't forget that Amazon don't charge for preorders until they ship, and their preorder price guarantee ensures you're getting the best price.
Hyperkin knocked it out of the park with their OG Xbox S controllers. Yes, they're wired, but that also means they're perfect for competitive play thanks to zero input lag. There's also three special edition controllers which never stick around for long, and one of the best controllers ever made, Xbox Elite V2, is on offer for $139.99 currently too. Don't sleep on these deals.
No discounts, but this is one for steelbook collectors. You'll get the base game, deluxe edition content and a cool steelbook and sleeve for this special edition of Resident Evil: Requiem. The Deluxe Edition include's the Apocalypse costume for Grace as they flick between first and third person views whenever they want, a first for the series.
Marvel's Star Wars: Legacy of Vader series has been busy filling in the year-long gap between the events of Star Wars: The Last Jedi and Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, revealing how Kylo Ren consolidates control over the First Order even as he continues to try to kill the past. Already, the series has revealed fascinating new insight into Ben Solo's history with the Knights of Ren. And in the latest issue, we learn that Ben's fateful battle with Luke Skywalker on Crait isn't the last time these two characters meet.
How does Kylo Ren reunite with his Uncle Luke, and what happens when he does? Read on to find out, but beware of spoilers for Star Wars: Legacy of Vader #10 ahead!
Having recently clashed with Tava Ren, the new leader of the Knights of Ren, Ben returns to Fortress Vader on Mustafar in this issue. Ben's quest to kill his past has taken on a new sense of urgency, as he can sense the presence of his uncle watching him through the Force. He wants to put a stop to that by any means necessary.
Vaneé, the cybernetically enhanced former servant to Darth Vader, suggests that his new master try to enter the secret vault at the heart of Fortress Vader. Vaneé hints that this vault contains Vader's greatest secret power. But when Ben tries to enter the vault, he only becomes disoriented and emerges through the same door he entered.
In order to placate his angry master, Vaneé instead suggests that Ben take a rest in Vader's Sith Meditation Chamber. No sooner does he begin meditating than Ben undergoes a disturbing vision. He finds himself in a haunted swamp where the heads of his former friends and family taunt him for his failures. Ben manifests red and blue lightsabers and begins chopping at the heads, only to then find himself in a valley outside a temple.
Somehow, Ben has managed to travel through the Force to the afterlife where Force Ghosts congregate. These Force Ghosts are none too happy to be paid a visit by someone so infused with the Dark Side, but it's not long before Luke himself appears to intercede.
Ben knows that his uncle died shortly after their encounter on Crait, but not how he died. He demands to know who killed Luke, to which Luke replies, "No one killed me. I sacrificed my life for others, in service of something greater." He reminds Ben that this was the purpose of his life, before inquiring what Ben's purpose is.
Not in the mood for lessons and with his jealousy on full display, Ben then asks why Luke agreed to teach Rey. Luke's answer is simple - "She wanted to learn." Angrier than ever, Ben orders his uncle to stop watching him and threatens to find a way to destroy him, even in this place beyond death.
Unfazed, Luke reminds his nephew that he can't destroy him without destroying the Force itself. Luke also points out that Ben has achieved something special by travelling to this plane. His real concern should be figuring out how he managed it and what it means.
And thus ends the reunion between Luke Skywalker and Ben Solo. Ben promptly returns to the swamp, where he's attacked by a vengeful spirit who wishes to remind him of the pain and darkness that drives him. Soon after, Ben emerges from the meditation chamber covered in saber wounds. Vaneé helps his master by placing him inside the same Bacta tank where Vader spent so many of his pain-filled days and nights. Like grandfather, like grandson.
Thanks to this issue, we know that Ben and Luke had at least one encounter following their final duel, and there certainly seems to be room for more Luke appearances in the series down the road. We also see clearer signs that Ben isn't as consumed by the Dark Side as he'd like everyone to believe, paving the way for his return to the light in The Rise of Skywalker.
But perhaps most importantly, this issue teases the mystery of the secret vault in Fortress Vader. What dark power did Vader place there, and how will Kylo Ren access it? Is this the ultimate endgame of the series?
Let us know your thoughts on this unexpected family reunion and your theories about Vader's vault.

If you've been waiting for one of the more affordable Blackwell cards to come back in stock at a reputable retailer, Lenovo is offering a couple of phenomenal deals that are sure to sell out or expire quickly. Ahead of Black Friday you can pick up either the Ventus or Shadow variants of the MSI GeForce RTX 5070 12GB VGraphics Card for just $449.99 shipped after you apply a $100 off coupon code "SIXSEVEN". The normal MSRP for these cards are $550. There is a possibility that this is a price error and Lenovo may cancel your order. The RTX 5070 is an excellent GPU for gaming at up to 1440p with high framerates, especially with DLSS 4 enabled.
Normally retails for $550
Compared to the previous generation GPUs, the RTX 5070 performs comparably with the RTX 4070 Super. We wish there was a bigger generation improvement in raw performance, but the RTX 4070 Super was already an excellent card for 1080p and 1440p gaming. In any case, the RTX 4070 Super GPU has since been discontinued and is only readily available in the used market. The RTX 5070 also supports DLSS 4 with multi-frame generation, and the performance gap widens in games that support this new technology. Many of the newer titles now support it, including Doom: The Dark Ages, Clair Obscur, Borderlands 4, and Battlefield 6. Read our Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 review for our hands-on impressions.

Ahead of Black Friday, Lenovo is offering the lowest prices of the year on Xbox Series X wireless controllers, which is impressive considering the fact that Microsoft raised the retail price of all of its controllers earlier in May. Prices start at $34.99 for the Robot White model and $39.99 for other colorways, both after applying coupon code "SIXSEVEN". Not only are these the best controllers for the Xbox at this price, they're also one of the best PC gaming controllers.
Aesthetics aside, these Xbox wireless controllers are identical to the one that's bundled with the Xbox Series X and S console. Standard features include textured grips, hybrid D-pad, button mapping with the Xbox app, a 3.5mm audio jack that works with any wired headset, and a Share button to upload screenshots and video.
The controller supports both Xbox wireless and Bluetooth connectivity. That means you can use it for your PC or mobile device. In fact, we think this is the the best PC controller you can get. If your PC doesn't have Bluetooth, you can still use it in wired mode with a USB Type-C cable or go out and buy a Bluetooth or Xbox wireless adapter.

Perhaps the best Meta Quest deal we are going to see during Black Friday has already gone live. Starting today, the official Meta Store on eBay is offering the refurbished Meta Quest 3 512GB VR headset for just $359.99 after a 20% off coupon code "TECH4THEM". Better yet, it comes with an extended 2 year warranty supplied by Allstate. The Quest 3 normally retails for $500 new and is rarely discounted. I saw this deal once before during Amazon's October Prime Day and it was so popular that it sold out within a day. This is easily the best deal I've ever seen on the Meta Quest 3 and you should absolutely buy it now over waiting for another deal during Black Friday.
Update: The Meta Quest 3S is also on sale starting at $215.99.
Includes extended 2 year warranty
The Meta Quest 3 is the best standalone consumer-oriented VR headset and is a significant upgrade compared to its less expensive Quest 3S sibling. The two share the same Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 processor, Touch Plus controllers with inside-out tracking, and mixed reality passthrough. However, the Quest 3 has a higher resolution, higher FOV display with a much wider focused sweet spot thanks to its superior pancake lens design. The Quest 3 also has much more onboard storage. For VR veterans who are sure to benefit from a better display, I would highly recommend the Quest 3 over the 3S. I own it myself (and I reviewed it for IGN) and have logged over a thousand hours in Beat Saber alone.
TL;DR:

The Steam Deck has rolled out a much-wanted new feature that finally allows players to download games with the handheld PC system in low-power mode.
Up until now, you couldn't download anything without the screen remaining on, but now Valve is enabling Steam Deck to "complete all active downloads in a new display-off low-power mode, before going to sleep." It will be enabled by default once you're plugged in, but can also be enabled if you go to Settings > Power when running on battery, too.
"Display-off downloads are accessible in two ways," Valve explained. "While Steam Deck is downloading content, pressing the power button now brings up a new dialog, asking whether you'd like to continue downloading with the screen off. Select Continue, and Steam Deck will go into the new low-power download mode. In addition, Steam Deck will automatically go into this mode after an idle timeout."
If you're in this mode and press a button or move the Deck, a new status screen will be displayed that shows you your download progress. From here, you can choose to fully wake the device or let it finish in low-power mode.
Right now only users in the Beta and Preview channels will have access to the feature, but it shouldn't be too long before it rolls out for all.
We thought Steam Deck OLED was amazing when it debuted in 2024, writing in our review: "The Steam Deck OLED brings a fantastic, vibrant screen to Valve's handheld gaming PC, but its most impressive upgrade is the much-improved battery life. Combined with all its other small but altogether significant improvements, not to mention more storage at the same price, and it's enough to tempt even current Steam Deck owners into upgrading."
Valve might have kicked off the whole portable PC craze with the Steam Deck, but these days it's far from the only game in town. Handheld rigs are popping up everywhere, and the competition is getting spicy. Here's IGN's picks for the best handheld gaming PCs to take on the go.

White Flare is the other half of the last and dual set of the Scarlet and Violet era, twinned with the Black Bolt set. Every Unovan-native Pokémon has either an Illustration, Secret Illustration, or Black and White Rare. It's a big set, and you'll need as many boosters as possible to master this bad boy.
Luckily, Amazon actually has something at market value. The White Flare Booster bundle contains six booster packs for $51.35. That works out at roughly $8.56 a pack, not bad going.
It's a dollar or so higher than TCGPlayer, but you also get next-day Prime shipping, so it's worth that little extra!
I also clocked Team Rocket Tins under market value on Amazon as well, meaning you can grab three Destined Rivals and two Journey Togther boosters for $8.59, top one!
You'll have ever chance of pulling Team Rocket's Mewtwo ex SIR or Ethan's Ho-Oh ex SIR, although you'll need a bucket-load of luck to go with it.
Of course it's hard work trying to find higher-end chase cards in any set, but Black Bolt is packed full of Illustration, Pokéball and Masterball Rares, so it's even harder to snag a Secret Art Rare or Black White Rare.
Luckily the secondary market has single cards to buy, with TCGPlayer being the market leader in providing a marketplace that keeps itself in check thanks to price tracking and previous sales data to make sure you're making an informed decision.

Specialty event cinema distributor Fathom Entertainment, along with Saga Arts and Warner Bros., today confirmed that the 2006 film V for Vendetta will be heading back to the big screen in 2026, just in time for its 20th anniversary. The film will hit theatres across the US on November 1 and 5, 2026.
“From its early days as a graphic novel and then a feature film, few properties have struck a chord with fans and been more thought-provoking societally than V for Vendetta,” said Fathom Entertainment vice president of studio relations, Tom Lucas, in a statement pubished alongside the announcement. “20 years later, the movie still resonates, and Fathom is so pleased to bring it back to theatres next November with our partners at Warner Bros. and Saga Arts.”
Based on the late ’80s graphic novel of the same name by writer Alan Moore and illustrators David Lloyd and Tony Weare, V for Vendetta is the story of a charismatic anarchist named V, who is seeking to trigger a revolution against the totalitarian government ruling a dystopian, near-future Great Britain. The film stars Hugo Weaving as V, as well as Natalie Portman as Evey – a young woman who becomes embroiled in his mission. Produced by Joel Silver and The Wachowskis, from a screenplay written by The Wachowskis, V for Vendetta was helmed by first-time director James McTeigue and was a box office success that received largely favourable reviews.

EA and Battlefield Studios have plans to tweak aim assist settings for Battlefield 6 controller users – but that hasn’t stopped PC players from digging into the files to turn off crossplay.
Senior console combat designer Matthew Nickerson confirmed BF Studios would be “reverting back” to open beta controller aim assist settings in an X/Twitter post earlier this week. It’s a major change, especially for those on console, that fans have pleaded for since Battlefield 6 launched for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X | S October 10.
Far less stickiness so it does not create that rotational persistence that is currently live. Consistent slow down, no ramp. Recoil reduction is a separate system from AA but will be getting adjusted also once the new tech is online.
— Matthew Nickerson (@The_n0ttus) November 4, 2025
Nickerson says the change back to open beta settings will arrive “shortly,” adding that recoil reduction adjustments are also coming soon. Although PC and console players have disagreed on how aim assist has changed since the August open beta tests, many feel the settings have been tweaked for the worse.
“In the beta, aiming and shooting felt really satisfying, but now the aim feels completely different,” one popular comment posted shortly after launch says. “Making micro-adjustments is harder; I find myself fighting with the aim.”
“I’m not the greatest on controller but I’m pretty good and I can also say confidently that this problem did not exist in the beta,” another comment at the time said. “Aiming and aim assist felt perfectly fine on controller.”
BF Studios has made more than a few adjustments to Battlefield 6 that have had players up in arms, but the post-beta changes related to aim assist have been especially controversial. They’ve been so divisive, in fact, that some PC players recently started tearing through the game’s files just to avoid players using the controller assistance feature.
The workaround comes from content creator and X user @otterTweets, who revealed the method for those who are “tired of OP aim assist.” They say diving into the files at “documents/battlefield 6/settings/steam/PROFSAVE” and adding “GstGameplay.CrossPlayEnable 0” turns off crossplay completely.
There is, unsurprisingly, a catch for those who do this, though. Ottr says turning Battlefield 6 PC crossplay off drops affected players into lobbies populated with bots instead of real-world players. If enough PC users switch crossplay off, they could theoretically begin playing with more actual players, but it could take some time to really catch on.
With EA and BF Studios actively preparing to release aim assist tweaks for controller users in Battlefield 6, PC players may want to hold off on finding their own ways to sneakily turn off crossplay. While we wait to learn more about when and how these changes will be delivered, you can read up on other recent changes, including a reduction in challenge requirements and tweaks to Conquest ticket sizes.

For those eagerly waiting to add Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection to their game library, it's set to get some very fun new amiibo alongside it. At the moment, three are up for preorder at GameStop: a very cool looking Ratha V amiibo for $29.99, a Rudy amiibo for $24.99, and a Ratha amiibo for $29.99.
They're each expected to release on the same day as the game next year, March 13, 2026, but make sure to get your preorders in now in the event that they sell out. Head to the links below to pick up the ones that catch your eye.
If these new amiibo have you itching to shop for more, there are some exciting picks coming down the pipeline as we head into 2026 that are worth keeping on your radar. In particular, if you're a big Resident Evil fan, the first ever Resident Evil amiibo in honor of Resident Evil Requiem of Grace Ashcroft is set to release next year during the summer. If you can't wait for this game to release, this is sure to be a fun amiibo to have alongside it.
Outside of newer releases, it's worth keeping an eye out for any amiibo deals that may pop up this month with Black Friday coming up fast in the next couple of weeks. While the official sale event doesn't kick off until November 28, quite a few retailers start up their sale events way earlier in November, giving shoppers plenty of time to see what deals are available ahead of the holiday season. When it comes to gaming deals, including discounts on amiibo, we're keeping our eyes peeled for the best discounts as they drop this month before Black Friday begins.
