Nintendo is offering another Super Smash Bros. Ultimate freebie for Switch Online members. For a limited time, subscribers can claim the Spirits Set 1. This pack unlocks two random Spirits in your game: one Legend-class Support Spirit, and one Ace-class Primary Spirit.

To claim the Spirits Set, select the Nintendo Switch Online icon from your system’s home screen and open the Special Offers tab. The Spirits Set will be listed among the other free offers. Alternately, you can grab the freebie directly from the Nintendo eShop by selecting Nintendo Switch Online from the left sidebar.

As was the case with previous Smash Bros. freebies, you can only claim the Spirits Set if you have an active, paid Switch Online membership. The offer isn’t available to those who have a free trial to the service. Individual memberships cost $4 for one month, $8 for three months, and $20 for one year, while an annual family plan runs for $35.

Smash Bros. Ultimate’s next DLC fighters, Pyra and Mythra from Xenoblade Chronicles 2, arrive later today, March 4. The two-in-one character will be added as part of the game’s 11.0.0 update, which will also introduce a handful of new Mii Fighter costumes and make other character adjustments. Pyra and Mythra launch alongside a new stage, Cloud Sea of Alrest, as well as a new Spirit Board and 16 music tracks taken from Xenoblade Chronicles 2.

Like other DLC fighters, Pyra and Mythra’s challenger pack costs $6. The characters are also included in the Fighters Pass Vol. 2, which runs for $30 and covers six characters. Two more DLC fighters are still on the way following Pyra and Mythra, but Nintendo hasn’t offered any hints as to who those will be.

EA’s battle royale behemoth Apex Legends is getting another big event very soon with the Chaos Theory Collection Event, which we’ve now gotten a closer look at.

Mad Maggie returns with a terrible plan to sabotage the ring, which is causing ring flares to show up across the map. In the new Ring Fury mode, players get a new heat shield for their inventory that allows them to sustain ring damage to rescue teammates. This shield projects a dome that can protect players from the ring damage.

Additionally, players can visit Caustic’s Town Takeover to find gold-tier loot, while Apex Legends overall is offering up 24 items that will only be available for a limited time. Players who collect all 24 will get Bangalore’s “Cold Steel” heirloom, which looks pretty rad.

You can check out a teaser for the Chaos Theory Collection event in the video above. The event itself kicks off on March 9, which is also the day that Apex Legends come to Switch. Developer Respawn recently showed off more of Apex’s gameplay on Switch–see it here.

To help Switch players catch up, Respawn is offering 30 free Battle Pass levels, double XP for the first two weeks, and a limited-time Legendary Pathfinder skin at no extra cost.

Genshin Impact’s mobile edition is an absolute juggernaut, as Sensor Tower is reporting that the game brought in around $874 million from its microtransactions since launch at the end of September 2020.

Genshin Impact is a success globally, as it ranks third in terms of revenue on iOS and Google Play, only trailing Tencent’s Honor of Kings and PUBG Mobile, both of which have made over $1 billion from microtransactions over the past five months.

Genshin Impact’s $874 million outpaces the amount of money that Pokemon Go and Roblox made on mobile over the past five months, but those games are considerably older.

Genshin Impact is, however, the highest-grossing mobile RPG worldwide. It brings in around $175 million each month from microtransactions.

These results do not capture the full extent of Genshin Impact’s success, as the game is also available on PS4 and PC. Also bear in mind that all of these numbers are estimates that come from SensorTower and not directly from the developer.

In terms of geography, Genshin Impact makes the most money in China, where it’s generated $253 million so far. Japan is the second-biggest market for the game ($237 million), while the US ranks third with $162 million so far. iOS is the bigger platform for Genshin Impact, with revenue on Apple’s store coming to $521 million compared to $352 million on Android.

Mobile is a massive category in gaming. Electronic Arts has said mobile is bigger than PC and console, which is why the company spent more than $2 billion to acquire the developers of Kim Kardashian’s hit mobile game. EA also recently announced six new FIFA mobile games.

Mobile is also hugely important to Activision Blizzard, which spent $5.9 billion to acquire Candy Crush developer King. Activision Blizzard makes most of its money from mobile, which is why it may develop new mobile games based on every one of its franchises.

Fall Guys Season 4 is expected to kick off soon, bringing with it a series of new costumes. Developer Mediatonic has now teased the new outfits, posting silhouettes of them on social media and calling on fans to sound off with what the outfits might be.

None of them are very easily identifiable, as least not to me, but the internet has its guesses. For now, they’ll remain a mystery, but Mediatonic will reveal all four of them on Friday, March 5, through the game’s Discord, Instagram, TikTok, and Twitter accounts.

Before this, Mediatonic challenged its fans to complete a 2400-piece jigsaw puzzle to find a new clue about Season 4–and, of course, the community completed it in short order. The teaser revealed a flying saucer-themed outfit and other otherworldly costumes.

Season 4 has a futuristic theme, which we know about from the re-branding of the game’s social media pages to Fall Guys 4041.

Dave Bailey, the co-founder and CEO of Mediatonic, said the team has only “just scratched the surface” of what’s possible for the battle royale title. The original pitch for the game was to create the “greatest game show on Earth,” and Mediatonic plans to deliver on that ambition.

“When you think about it in that way, there’s a million different ways we can take this and I hope people will see that come through in future,” Bailey said.

In other news, Mediatonic has been acquired by Fortnite studio Epic Games, giving the company yet another battle royale game. Fall Guys is still available on Steam, though fans are wondering if a day may come when the game moves to the Epic Games Store.

Fall Guys will be released on Nintendo Switch and Xbox consoles this summer, following its exclusive console debut on PS4 back in 2020.

One of the last challenges you’ll complete in Fortnite for Week 5, Season 14 tasks you to visit different restaurant kitchens. You have to visit two of them to complete this challenge, but it comes at the end of a sequence before you’re actually able to count any progress you’ve made. Here’s how to do it.

First off, prior to trying this challenge, ensure you’ve done the other three steps. You’ll need to collect cookbooks, harvest eight fruits or vegetables–which can be done quickly at the Orchard northeast of the Coliseum–and then collect 150 gold bars. For collecting the 150 gold bars, just complete a bounty, as the one we completed rewarded us with 200.

Restaurant Kitchen Locations

Once that’s done, you have a few different options for visiting kitchens, including:

• Sticks, at Craggy Cliffs
• Butter Barn, southeast of the Zero Point
• Pizza Pit, northeast of Collassal Coliseum
• Durrr Burger, southeast of Holly Hedges

As you can see from the way they’re arranged on the map, the two locations in the northern section of the map–Pizza Pit and Sticks–are the closest together. Land near one of them, walk into the kitchen, and then head for the other one, doing the same when you get there. Once you have completed that, the challenge is done.

As you can see in the image above, Pizza Pit is separate from the other landmarks around it, but its giant pepperoni-covered roof make it impossible to miss. You can also spot it super easily from the air, making this a good starting point.

Sticks is the centerpiece of Craggy Cliffs. It isn’t quite as obvious to spot from the air, but you should find it almost immediately once you’ve arrived in town.

You’ll get 40,000 XP for completing this challenge, as you will with the other Fortnite challenges in Week 14. This is up double from typical weeks, so you won’t want to miss out on completing them.
