The video game Cyberpunk 2077 is set to release on April 16 (you can preorder it for $49.94 now). But if you want a dose of of the techo-future earlier than that, you’ll be pleased to know a trio of Cyberpunk action figures is coming soon. Preorders are now live at numerous retailers for McFarlane Toys figures of V, as well as two versions of Johnny Silverhand, a musician character played by Keanu Reeves in the game. Here’s where you can get them.

When Alienware teased a portable gaming PC with detachable controllers, the comparisons to the Nintendo Switch seemed apt and obvious. Now that Dell has shown off the Concept UFO at its CES 2020 showcase, it’s actually even more Switch-like than we’d previously thought.
The stage presentation hosted by Aisha Tyler ended with a number of concept PCs, including foldable laptops. The final concept tech was the UFO from Alienware. The stage presentation showed the controllers detaching and then being attached to a hub very much like the Switch’s Joy-Con Grip. Alienware’s Vivian Lien also mentioned, but didn’t show, that you can prop up the screen with a kickstand built into the back of the unit.
The presentation was accompanied by a tweet that also shows the grip-like controller hub in action.
Dell was careful to note that all of these devices, including the foldable PCs and UFO portable gaming PC, are in the concept phase. That means the company isn’t giving any details about price or availability quite yet. However, senior VP Ed Ward did introduce the concepts by teasing that those details could be coming soon.
“We’re going to share some of the concepts that we’ve been working on,” Ward said. “You won’t be able to buy these anytime soon. Or maybe you will, you’ll just have to wait and see.”
To get the full experience of a video game in the olden days, all you needed was a copy of the game. Those were good days, weren’t they? Now games are bigger and more feature-rich than ever, but you need a subscription to take full advantage of what many of them have to offer. Thankfully, PS4 and Xbox One owners don’t have to pay full price for those subscriptions. Right now Amazon has great deals available on PlayStation Plus or Xbox Game Pass Unlimited. Here’s what’s available.
New reports have once again revived rumors that a more powerful Switch “Pro” model could be released in 2020. However, while a release year is still up in the air, reports have suggested the existence of a “Pro” model since last year.
According to sources from a supply chain company, the Taiwanese website Digitimes reports that a new Switch model will enter mass production Q1 2020 for a mid-2020 release. These reports coincide with analyst predictions that a Switch Pro model will be released later this year, fueling speculation that a new Switch model will be coming out sometime in the next months.
Though it’s been available in early access since 2016, first-person shooter Escape from Tarkov has recently amassed significant buzz. The survival-oriented online shooter from Russian studio Battlestate Games received a much-needed update in October 2019. In addition to adding new content, the update fixed a myriad of performance issues and bugs, which went a long way toward stabilizing the overall experience.
Escape from Tarkov blends first-person shooter combat with action-RPG and MMO mechanics. It takes place between Russia and Europe in Tarkov, a fictional metropolis entrenched in bloodshed and anarchy. Private military forces, international armies, and scavengers lurk throughout the isolated region. The story hinges on the eponymous idea of escaping the chaotic region.
Escape from Tarkov currently has a pair of raid modes, an offline mode, and the recently-added hideouts, which can be built up and even serve as a place to upgrade stats. Multiple other modes are expected to arrive in the future, including a campaign.
Battlestate Games hasn’t revealed when Escape from Tarkov will leave early access, but you can pre-order now and get instant access to the current build and a wealth of bonuses. At this time, Escape from Tarkov is only available to purchase on PC from its official website. Based on a developer update provided years ago, it appears that the game will release on Steam at some point. But if you want to get in on the current trend, you’ll have to go straight through Battlestate Games for now.
Escape from Tarkov
However, you still have decisions to make when placing your Escape from Tarkov pre-order. Battlestate Games is offering four editions ranging from $45 to $140. Each edition comes with a slew of bonuses and perks to use in the game. According to the developer, Escape from Tarkov will not have microtransactions. It will, however, have paid DLC at some point, and you can upgrade to more expensive versions down the road if you so choose. It’s important to note that purchases are region-locked, with the exception of Europe. So if you purchase the game in North America, you can only play it in North America.
If you’re looking to check out Escape from Tarkov, we’ve outlined all of the information you need to know about each of the four editions to help make your decision easier. Whichever edition you choose, you’ll be able to start playing the early access build right now.

There are a whole host of Force powers that exist within the Star Wars universe able to be used by Sith and Jedi alike, so we’re going to run through all of the currently known Force abilities that are considered canon. These are various Force powers that we’ve seen in the movies, TV shows, comics, and even the canon video games.

If you’re a regular Fortnite player, then you likely participated in the Fortnite Star Wars event in December. Now that the event has come to a close, it seems that players are reporting missing achievements earned from the event.
In a Reddit post to r/FortniteBR, Redditor Romulousvoid shared an image revealing that all of their achievements from the Fortnite Star Wars event were gone. The post quickly picked up comments from other players with the same issues, and eventually an Epic employee commented on the thread stating they were aware of the problem and were working on a fix.
A new series of postage stamps featuring images from games such as Tomb Raider and Elite have been released in the UK in order to celebrate British-developed video games.
The series is comprised of 12 stamps, with each showing off a key UK-designed game from the 1980s and 90s. Elite, Dizzy, Populous, Lemmings, Micro Machines, Sensible Soccer, Wipeout, and Worms all feature in the collection.
4 of the 12 stamps are dedicated to Tomb Raider’s Lara Croft, who was created by English studio Core Design in the 1990s. These 4 stamps feature Lara’s visual evolution over 1996’s Tomb Raider, 1998’s Adventures of Lara Croft, 2000’s Tomb Raider Chronicles, and 2013’s Tomb Raider reboot.
Robert Aramayo – best known as Young Ned Stark in Game of Thrones – has reportedly been cast in a leading role for Amazon’s Lord of the Rings TV series.
The upcoming Dr. Death series has found a home on the upcoming streaming service Peacock, as revealed in an interview with one of the stars of the show, Alec Baldwin.
During Tuesday morning’s episode of the Howard Stern Show, Baldwin briefly discussed the previously-greenlit series. It was revealed the show would be landing on NBC’s upcoming streaming service Peacock, which launches this April.
The story of Dr. Christopher Duntsch garnered national attention in 2018 with the Dr. Death podcast, hosted by Laura Beil–who will produce the new show. The series explored the life of Christopher Duntsch, a doctor who was nicknamed Dr. Death for the death of one patient and maiming of 33 others during his time when he was a practicing surgeon beginning in 2010.
Baldwin is one of the stars of the series, playing spinal surgeon Dr. Robert Henderson, who worked with Duntsch. Dr. Death himself will be played by Jamie Dornan, who is mostly known for his work in the Fifty Shades movies playing Christian Gray.
At this time, there is no release date for the upcoming series, and according to Baldwin, he’s not allowed to say much about the show. Peacock has a few other series coming soon, including a Saved By The Bell revival, a Battlestar Galactica reboot, and possibly more from the world of The Office.
Peacock combines the properties of NBC, USA Network, Universal Pictures, Dreamworks, Telemundo, and more, so there will be a wide collection of TV shows, movies, and original content.
