PS4 owners who buy a PS4 Cloud Remote for media playback will also get a free 30-day trial of PlayStation Vue, Sony’s cable service for cord-cutters. For Xbox One owners, you can get select wireless controllers for $10 off this week.

With Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 now available, you might be inspired to pick up some Call of Duty collectibles or apparel. It’s 20% off this week, as are most Overwatch collectibles. You’ll find t-shirts, hoodies, hats, socks, lanyards, backpacks, toys, statues, and all sorts of things you can wear or display on a shelf for either game.

In terms of game deals, it’s slim pickings this week, but to celebrate the start of the new NBA season, NBA 2K19 is on sale for $40–not bad, seeing as it’s only a month old. NHL 19 is also discounted to $40, and Burnout Paradise Remastered is on sale for $20.

That about does it for this week’s GameStop deals. For more of the week’s deals, check out what’s on sale at Best Buy and Amazon, as well as the digital stores for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

Red Dead Redemption 2 Launch Trailer Coming Tomorrow

The latest trailer for Red Dead Redemption 2 will arrive tomorrow, October 18, at 7am Pacific / 10am Eastern / 3pm UK (or 1am AEST on October 19).

Rockstar also announced that pre-ordering the digital version will allow players to pre-load the game from Friday. That’ll come in handy, because the game is looking to be pretty big.

It’s not clear exactly what will be in the trailer, but we’d wager it will be story-focused, following the more mechanical gameplay videos released recently.

Sean Bean Will Die Once More in Hitman 2

Actor Sean Bean will voice the character Mark Faba in Hitman 2’s first Elusive Target mission, Kill the Undying. That means Bean is portraying yet another character who is doomed to die, as has been the actor’s professional lot in life.

“It’s a talent of sorts, I suppose,” says Bean as Mark Faba in a tongue-in-cheek live-action video poking fun at Bean characters’ penchant for dying. “I never expected to be like this, but they keep trying to kill me, you know?

“I’ve cheated death countless times. I’m like a stage magician. I know all the tricks. They think they’re clever, but they’ve got nothing on me. I even managed to make them think I’d been blown up.”

Hitman’s Elusive Target mode was introduced in the last game, and gives players only one chance to assassinate an individual in the the limited-time mode – so it may be that Bean escapes at least a few times after all.

Fortnite Update 6.10 Leaks More Spooky Skins And Cosmetics

Fortnite‘s version 6.10 update is now available, adding tournaments and a new vehicle alongside some bug fixes. As has become customary, though, Epic also used the opportunity to add some new skins that we’ll be seeing in the store, and they fit this month’s spooky Halloween theme nicely.

Fortnite Insider reports that the update added the Arachne and Spider Knight Legendary skins, Guan Yu Epic skin, and Onesie Rare skin. On top of that, it adds the Moonrise, Webbreaker, and Guandao pickaxes, Hatchling and Divine Dragon gliders, and the Long Legs, Spider Shield, and Loyal Shield back bling.

The update also adds the in-game tournaments feature, the first of which is going on now. It’s a Solo tourney appropriately named the Alpha Tournament, and lasts through October 21. A separate Friday Night Fortnite squad tournament will be going on this and every Friday through the end of November. Tournaments can earn you pins to show off your skills, and sometime in the future your pins could act as qualifiers for higher-tier tournaments.

The update also adds a new Quadcrusher vehicle, which comes with a snowplow-like attachment and a special boost ability. It’s a pretty hefty piece of machinery that seems engineered to cause destruction on the battlefield.
