During last year’s Super Bowl, a new Fast and the Furious trailer debuted, as the movie was originally going to release in May 2020. However, because of the global pandemic, the film was delayed. Things have moved fast since then, and we’re all a bit less furious, because a new trailer was released before the start of the Super Bowl. Prepare for joy.

While it’s only a 30-second spot, the quick video is a reminder that Justice for Han is right around the corner, and F9 will more than likely feature more snacking than fans have been accustomed to over the years. Check out the family-themed trailer below.

“The world has a way of changing,” explains Vin Diesel’s Dominic Toretto, and boy that statement couldn’t hit home any harder. “But there’s one thing that always stays the same. You miss the old life, every day.” Is Toretto talking about high-octane heists or being trapped in quarantine the past year?

All of your favorites are back for the next installment–minus Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham, who have been spun off into their own franchise.. But that’s ok because director Justin Lin has added another WWE wrestler-turned actor to his F9 arsenal in John Cena. And the best part about Cena’s role is that he’s playing Dominic’s long-lost brother–because of course he is. He also drives oh so angry in the new trailer.

Additionally, Sung Kang comes back as Han–a beloved character that died in the third Fast & Furious movie, Tokyo Drift, even though it actually takes place after the sixth movie in the series. Also returning is Michelle Rodriguez as Letty, Helen Mirren as Magdalene Shaw, Tyrese Gibson as Roman Pearce, Ludacris as Tej Parker, and many more. Also, Jordana Brewster returns to the series after sitting out F8 as Mia.

While the movie has been pushed back a couple of times to May 28, 2021, the trailer simply states the movie is “Coming soon,” so it’s unknown at this time whether or not it will hit the May release date. Probably not though, as there are a lot of people left to vaccinate before it’s safe to go back to the theaters.

Guilty Gear Strive is the next core entry in Arc System Works’ groundbreaking fighting game series, and it continues with the franchise’s fusion of slick anime-style visuals and heavy-metal infused action. Ahead of the fighting game’s upcoming beta starting later this month on February 17, GameSpot has exclusive new gameplay showing off some high-level matches with Sol Badguy, Ky Kiske, and Axl Low. In these fights, we also get a first look at each character’s particular super move, which leans heavily into their fighting style and personality.

The first match features Axl Low battling the shadow manipulating hunter, Zato-1. In this match, Axl utilizes his chained blades to keep his foe at a distance, and when Zato-1 is vulnerable, Axl unleashes his One Vision special attack (Input — 214214 + HS). It’s a move that temporarily freezes the opponent in time, allowing you to lay into them with the attack. This special move is also cancellable, allowing you to disengage the skill and surprise your enemies with other attacks right after.

In the next match, we see Ky Kiske face off against one of Strive’s newest fighters named Nagoriyuki. While Ky Kiske has been one of the heroic characters from the series, he’s got a bit of a darker edge in Guilty Gear Strive. His new special move in this game is the Dragon Install (Input — 214214 + HS, when at low health). Similar to Sol Badguy’s ability, Dragon Install will amplify Ky Kiske’s attacks. Upon activation, it will cause a shockwave that can hit your foe.

Lastly, we have the series’ antihero, Sol Badguy, facing off against Zato-1. Like in previous games, Sol is a powerhouse who can move with great speed. He’s able to close the distance fast and lay in some heavy damage, and that’s what his newest super move in Guilty Gear Strive is all about. When you activate Sol’s Heavy Mob Cemetery (Input — 214214 + HS), the fighter will transform into a human dragon hybrid form that can deal massive damage to enemies. This move is great for closing the hitting enemies who like to focus on keep-away tactics, and given its speed upon activation, it can surprise enemies fast.

With the beta kicking off this month, we’ve got much more to see from Arc System Works’ latest fighting game. More on Guilty Gear Strive, be sure to stick with GameSpot as more details come in.

It has been about a year since the start of the global pandemic, and a lot of people are staying at home playing video games. We’ve seen Steam’s concurrent player count break its own record several times during this stretch, and the record has been broken once again.

Industry analyst Piers Harding-Rolls shared the news on Twitter, showing that more than 26 million Steam users were logged in at the same time, representing an all-time peak for the service. The number was actually a little bit higher than what is listed in his tweet when we checked it out, so it looks like Steam’s record could grow even larger.

One variable, however, is how many people are actually actively playing a game at that time. This record was not broken today, though it inched closer than any time we’ve seen in nearly a year.

It’s tough to say for sure just why the player record was broken today, as it has been a pretty dry period for new game releases. Staples like Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Dota 2, Grand Theft Auto V, and Team Fortress 2 continue to sit high on the charts, with over 1 million people playing CS: GO at the same time, in particular.

The last big spike we saw in December made more sense on paper, as Cyberpunk 2077 had just released. It still charts in February, but the total player count has fallen considerably as CD Projekt Red continues to work on improving stability and addressing bugs.
