Twitch Prime members will receive the Collector’s Bag, the Polished Copper Moonshine Still, and a Reward crediting them with five Moonshiner Role Ranks for this month. This reward can be collected at any point during the month of May.
PlayStation Plus members can receive a fisherman’s starter pack containing 5 special Lake Lures, 5 special Swamp Lures, 5 special River Lures, along with a Treasure Map of the North Clingman area just for logging in this month.
A portion of all online purchases this month and all of May will be going towards COVID-19 relief thanks to Rockstar and Take-Two. This includes purchases made in Red Dead Online and GTA Online.
With more people stuck inside these days, finding cheap and free games to keep yourself entertained has become a crucial way of passing the time and beating boredom. Luckily, there’s no shortage of free games available right now, and if you’re looking for some cheap games to add to your library, GameStop’s latest sale offers some nice choices on pre-owned titles. This week, the retailer is offering buy two, get two free on pre-owned games that are $10 or less, which means you could get four games for less than $20 depending on your choices.
Virizion is back in Pokemon Go for a limited time, but it isn’t the only Legendary Gen 5 Pokemon returning to the game this month. Following Virizion’s departure on May 19, Terrakion will once again appear in Raid Battles, and this time around, you’ll have a chance to catch its Shiny form.
Terrakion will appear as a five-star Raid boss from May 19-26. Niantic will also host a Terrakion Raid Hour event on May 20. From 6-7 PM local time that day, Terrakion Raids will occur at Gyms much more frequently than normal, making that your best chance for catching the Legendary.
Thanks to the recently launched Remote Raid Passes, you no longer need to physically travel to a Gym to join a Terrakion Raid. The new passes allow players level 5 and above to join any Raid that’s displayed in the Nearby screen without leaving home. You can learn more about how this works and how to get Remote Raid Passes in our remote raiding guide.
In the meantime, Niantic will hold Pokemon Go’s second Incense Day event on May 17. At specific hours throughout the day, you’ll be more likely to find Water- or Dark-type Pokemon like Alomomola and Scraggy by using Incenses. You’ll also have a chance to encounter Shiny Carvanha throughout the event.
Pokemon Go’s May Community Day will follow on May 24. The featured Pokemon this time will be Seedot. Like April’s Community Day, this month’s event will run for six hours instead of the usual three, and you’ll earn triple the normal amount of XP for catching Pokemon.
Publisher 2K has announced that for the third time, NBA 2K20 has received a new soundtrack update, and it features a bunch of music from artists under the UnitedMasters umbrella. The update is available for all platforms and includes rappers like Lil Baby and Trippie Redd, pop artists such as Gavin Haley and The Aces, and more.
The headlining artists of this new soundtrack update are Travis Scott, Roddy Ricch, and Schoolboy Q. While Top Dawg Entertainment’s (TDE) Schoolboy Q hasn’t dropped an album since 2019’s Crash Talk, “5200” has been one of the record’s hottest songs, amassing over one million views on YouTube since its release. Roddy Ricch is in a similar boat, not having released an album since 2019’s Please Excuse Me for Being Antisocial, which also served as the young artist’s debut project. He’s been riding a wave of popularity since the record’s release, with the single “The Box” staying on the US Billboard Hot 100 for several weeks.
Of course, Travis Scott is perhaps the most well-known artist on the entire list. The American psychedelic rapper recently teamed up with Fortnite for the Astronomical concert, an in-game event that drew in a massive amount of players. “Highest in the Room” was performed in Fortnite and is part of this soundtrack update.
In other NBA 2K20 news, the game is currently on sale on Newegg. It may not be your first choice for game discounts, but the basketball simulator’s Legend Edition is massively discounted, dropping down to $23 using the promo code EMCDKGF26.
You can check below for the full list of NBA 2K20’s updated soundtrack, as well as stream it in its entirety on Spotify.

There are a lot of items in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. From furniture to clothing to Redd’s art to DIY recipes and beyond, there’s quite a bit to collect over time, and it can be hard to know where to begin. Luckily, our sister site GameFAQs has a handy New Horizons catalog list so you can look up any item (or even villager!) in the game–or just browse if you’re looking for decor inspiration.
The catalog tool lets you sort by item type–housewares, wall-mounted furniture, shirts, shoes, and so on–or search for a specific item either in general or within the selected category. You can then click on any item in the list to see how much it costs (if you can buy it), how much you can sell it for, and where you can get it. You’ll also be able to see the various color and design options for each item where applicable.
The catalog is also up-to-date with the latest events and updates in the game–this means you can preview the upcoming wedding content, for example, well before you’ll be able to get it during the wedding season event in June. This is great for planning ahead!
If a giant meteor obliterated Earth, I’m fairly confident that Funko Pops would somehow still be manufactured and released into space to either the amusement or disgust of aliens. The Pop figurine collection grows in number every week, and soon you can get your hands on five figures that were originally intended as E3 2020 exclusives. E3 2020 was canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic, but the exclusive Pops are releasing on May 26.
Studio Ghibli producer Toshio Suzuki has said the next feature film from writer, director, animator, and Ghibli co-founder Hiyao Miyazaki should be finished within the next few years. The news comes in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, in which Suzuki discusses the studio adding its catalog to HBO Max and new details on Miyazaki’s upcoming movie, How Do You Live?
Suzuki calls How Do You Live?, which is based on author Yoshino Genzaburō’s 1937 novel of the same name, “a big, fantastical story” about a teenage boy’s intellectual and spiritual awakening following his father’s death. According to Suzuki, “one of the new approaches” used in How Do You Live?’s creation is a longer production schedule and a larger budget than is typical for a Ghibli movie.
“When Miyazaki came back and said that I want to make a film again, I actually said that’s not a great idea because he’s achieved so much already,” Suzuki says in the interview. “You can’t come back and do something that you’ve already done in the past.”
The result is a film that includes “more drawings” to create “more frames” than is usual for Ghibli. Suzuki describes how, even employing “60 animators” to work on How Do You Live?, the studio is “only able to come up with one minute of animation in a month” or 12 minutes per year. “We’ve been working on this film for three years, so that means we have 36 minutes completed so far,” Suzuki says. “We’re hoping it will finish in the next three years.” Unlike so many other areas of film production, the Ghibli producer also tells EW that the animation studios’ progress hasn’t been affected by the pandemic so far.
Suzuki also briefly describes the next Ghibli movie by Gorō Miyazaki (Tales from Earthsea; Up on Poppy Hill), Hayao Miyazaki’s son, which the producer says is “all done by computer-generated animation” and is “based on a book or a story from England” about “a very wise girl.”
As mentioned above, a number of Studio Ghibli’s films are set to arrive on HBO Max on May 27–the same day the new streaming service launches.

After a series of delays–most recently alongside The Last of Us Part 2–PlayStation’s Iron Man VR finally has a new release date. The PSVR exclusive will now launch on July 3, and if you want to be ready for its release, you can pre-order Iron Man VR now from a number of different retailers. There’s also a pre-order bonus for securing your copy early and a digital special edition if you’re looking to snag some extra content.
As its name suggests, Iron Man VR follows the Armored Avenger on a brand-new adventure. In this story, Tony Stark has retired from making weapons and now uses his tech to fight evil as Iron Man. Several years later, he’s attacked by a villain known as Ghost, a hacker and anti-corporate activist who is now repurposing old Stark Industries weapons to attack his corporate locations around the globe. Aside from flying through the sky and facing off against Iron Man’s foes in high-stakes battles, you’ll also be able to upgrade Tony’s tech and customize Iron Man’s armor and abilities.
Iron Man VR is a PlayStation VR-exclusive, so you won’t be able to play it on the Oculus Quest or any PC VR headset. And since you’ll be playing as Tony Stark inside the Iron Man suit, you’ll be moving your hands around shooting down enemies. That means you’ll need the Move controllers as well as a PS4 and PlayStation VR headset.
With the different versions and overall difficulty of finding PlayStation VR in stock, we’ve rounded up everything you need to know about pre-ordering Iron Man VR before the Marvel hero comes to PS4 this July.
Iron Man VR pre-order bonuses
If you pre-order Iron Man VR before its July 3 release date, then you’ll get yourself an Iron Man PS4 theme and four different custom armor decos. These armor decos swap the color of Iron Man’s suit. The four pre-order bonus skins are Iron Man’s Origin Armor, Vintage Armor, Silver Centurion Armor, and Ultraviolet Armor.
Pre-order Iron Man VR Standard edition | $40
Iron Man VR’s standard edition is available to pre-order both physically and digitally for $40 and comes with all pre-order bonuses if purchased before its release date.
Pre-order Iron Man VR Digital Deluxe edition | $50
Iron Man VR’s special edition is its Deluxe Edition, which is available to pre-order for $50. Unfortunately, there is no physical Deluxe Edition, so if you want the Deluxe Edition’s unique content, then you’ll have to buy Iron Man VR digitally on the PlayStation Store. However, the game hasn’t reappeared on the PlayStation Store since its new release date was announced, but we expect to see it on PSN soon–we’ll update this article with links when available. The Digital Deluxe Edition comes with the base game, 12 research points, a digital soundtrack, PS4 theme, and four Deluxe armor decos. These special armor skins are the Golden Avenger, Black Centurion, Sun Stinger, and Stealth variations of Iron Man’s suit.
PlayStation VR headset
The PlayStation VR headset can be difficult to find these days, as stock has sold out at many retailers and third-party sellers have hiked up their prices due to demand. Thankfully, there are still some options if you want to snag one at a good price. Best Buy has the PlayStation VR Blood & Truth and Everybody’s Golf bundle for $350, which comes with everything you need for Iron Man VR. If you’d like to save some money, however, GameStop sells refurbished PlayStation VR headsets for $150, though you will need to pick up a pair of Move controllers separately. If you specifically want a PlayStation VR headset to play Iron Man VR, we suggest going with the bundle, as it’s unclear if you’ll be able to purchase the Move controllers by the time Iron Man VR releases.
PlayStation Move motion controllers
Two PlayStation Move controllers are required for Iron Man VR. Unfortunately, if you own a PlayStation VR headset and don’t own the controllers, you might have a hard time finding any of the Move wands in stock anywhere. With a list price of $100 for a two-pack, the Move motion controllers are sold out at many retailers, and it’s unclear whether they’ll be restocked by the time Iron Man VR releases. That said, there are some pre-owned controllers and a slightly higher than MSRP option available.

Treasure packs are not found in Quests–you’ll need to drop into matches in Apex Legends’ PvP modes. It doesn’t matter which one. Trios, Duos, and Ranked will all work. You can play as any character as well, though both Loba and Bloodhound can make the process a little bit easier. We’ll explain why in a bit.
Treasure packs can be randomly discovered in supply bins. Occasionally, opening a supply bin will spit out a treasure pack. Walk over the pack to pick it up. Don’t worry, treasure packs do not count towards your in-match inventory. Upon completion of the match, regardless if you win or lose, your treasure pack will be added to your in-game inventory.
So far, supply bins are the only way to acquire treasure packs. They don’t seem to drop in care packages, appear on the ground, or pop out of flyer-held deathboxes.
This is why Loba and Bloodhound can make the process of finding treasure packs a little bit easier. Both legends possess passive abilities that make it easier for them to tell when a location has seen enemy activity and been looted. If a place has been looted, chances are the enemy squads have already opened all the supply bins and made off with the treasure packs found in that area. So both legends can inform you where not to look during a match.
Season 5’s The Broken Ghost is composed of nine Hunts and each requires you to have five treasure packs in order to access them and acquire their rewards–so you’ll need 45 in total. Here’s the rub: you can’t spend a day grinding for treasure packs. You can only pick up one treasure pack per day. Each Hunt unlocks on a weekly basis, though, so you have enough time to find five treasure packs each week.
The Broken Ghost sees Loba teaming up with the other legends in order to accomplish a secret mission, but she also has her own agenda.
If you want to stock up, you can use your two extra days each week to look for treasure packs. Finding a treasure pack every day for 45 days straight means you won’t have to find any more during the weeks for Hunts 7-9. That said, the current drop rate for treasure packs seems to be relatively high, so you don’t have to worry about grinding. Among the GameSpot staff, we have generally discovered a treasure pack by a third match for the day.
If you happen to fall behind in acquiring treasure packs, there is another way to unlock them, but it’ll cost you. You can buy individual treasure packs in Apex Legends’ in-game store for 25 Apex Coins ($0.25 USD) each. However, you can only buy packs retroactively, not proactively. For example, when Hunt 1 launches on May 19, you’ll only be able to buy up to seven packs. Because that’s the eighth day of Season 5, the game assumes you still have time to drop into a game and find your eighth treasure pack.
