EA is currently working on a fix for a game-breaking bug in Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order that forces players to restart the campaign, losing potentially hours of progression.
The bug can be found on Dathomir, one of the planets provided as a destination option when the game allows players to choose their own path for the first time. The area is limited for lower-powered players as it requires the use of Force abilities to properly navigate. However, a chasm that should require a double-jump to cross can be navigated across without the jump. The problem is, you can’t make the journey back without the skill.
Because of Jedi Fallen Order’s single-slot save mechanic that is tied to meditation points, it means any players who meditate while across the chasm are then stuck there for good, unable to progress due to a lack of correct force powers and unable to back-track because of the need to double-jump. The only solution is to start the game all over again.
Epic Games kicked off the first season of Fortnite Chapter 2 last month, revamping the popular battle royale shooter with a new map and other big changes. The season was originally slated to end in early December, which would have made it shorter than a typical season, but Epic has now announced it is being extended into next year.
In a post on its official website, Epic explains that Chapter 2, Season 1 will now run until February. The reason for this extension is that Epic plans to roll out a lot more content for the game over the next few months, which includes new events and some kind of “live experience.” As the developer explains:
“Last year we celebrated 14 Days of Fortnite over the holidays. This year we’ve got even more content for you to unwrap, including new game features, free rewards and a live experience that you won’t want to miss. To prepare for all the new holiday-themed updates, we will be extending Chapter 2’s first season into early February.”
This extension means that you have a lot more time to complete any outstanding challenges from this season. If you need help clearing any of the tasks available thus far, you can find maps and guides for all the trickier missions in our complete Fortnite Chapter 2 challenges roundup.

Want us to remember this setting for all your devices?
In the midst of Google Stadia‘s launch window, another cloud-based game streaming service is dropping its price for Black Friday 2019. The service is called Shadow, and it’s been around for a while. Shadow requires you to pay a subscription to access its data centers, which grant you your own virtual Windows 10 PC with high-end specs–you’re essentially renting a gaming PC and then streaming it to your device. While a year-long subscription comes out to $25 per month, Shadow’s price will drop down to $13 a month (one-year commitment) for Black Friday.
Since you’re accessing a remote, high-end desktop PC, you’ll be able to sign in to your own digital store accounts. Be it Steam, Epic Games Store, GOG, or anywhere else, you’ll have access to their storefronts and your library. Google Stadia is a closed platform with its own store and titles, so you won’t be able to play any of the games you already own. However, Stadia doesn’t require a subscription if you’re okay with streaming your games in 1080p with stereo sound. An optional Stadia Pro membership is available for $10 a month and gets you 4K streaming, surround sound, free games, and special discounts.
Shadow lets you stream a gaming PC to any compatible device with a decent internet connection.
Shadow streaming service | $13 per month
You’ll also have access to the internet speeds of Shadow’s data centers to download content and game online, which is rated at about 800 Mbps down with 1ms latency–remember, you’re only using your internet connection to view your remote PC. Currently, Shadow’s specs are made up of the following:
OS: Windows 10 Home Edition
CPU: Intel Xeon E5-2678 v3 @ 2.5GHz
GPU: Nvidia Quadro P5000
Memory: 12 GB
Storage: 256 GB QEMU Drive
With Shadow, you’ll be streaming a video feed of your virtual desktop, and like Stadia, data consumption and internet speed will be part of the equation. Shadow’s app is compatible with any Windows 7 / 8.1 / 10 or MacOS computer and certain Android and iOS versions (controlling Shadow between different platforms will vary).
The app lets you set your bit rate between 5 Mbps to 70 Mbps at 5 Mbps intervals, giving you some control over image quality and data usage. It’s recommended you have at least 15 Mbps down and connect via wired Ethernet or 5GHz Wi-Fi; Shadow consumes between 5 Mbps to 25 Mbps depending on settings and conditions.
Like many other cloud-based game streaming services, Shadow has its ups and downs–we reviewed the service and its separate set-top box earlier this year, so be sure to check out our Shadow Ghost and Shadow cloud gaming service review. For more on Black Friday 2019 sales this year, check out some the early and upcoming deals you can take advantage of.
We’ve already seen some great Black Friday 2019 deals on the PS4’s PlayStation VR headset, and now we’re seeing some nice discounts on Oculus headsets for the upcoming Black Friday weekend. The Facebook-owned VR company has a new bundle for its Oculus Quest headset, in addition to deals on the Oculus Rift S, the Oculus Go, and Facebook’s Portal camera.
Oculus plans to bundle its all-in-one Oculus Quest headset with all three episodes of its Star Wars VR series, Vader Immortal, starting November 21 until January 31. You’ll need to activate your Oculus Quest within 30 days of your purchase to get Vader Immortal for free, with March 2 being the last possible day to redeem the offer.
While the Quest doesn’t receive a special price, Oculus is discounting the rest of its VR headsets for Black Friday. Starting November 28 until December 2, the Oculus Rift S and both versions of the Oculus Go will be discounted by $50.
Facebook also plans to discount its Portal devices, which are touchscreen displays that let you video call your friends and family, display photos, and control your smart home with built-in Alexa support, in addition to a lot more. The Portal, Portal Mini, and Portal TV are all discounted by $50, while the Portal Plus sees a price cut of $30. You can see the full list of deals below.
Oculus Quest 64 GB or 128 GB + Vader Immortal bundle | $400 or $500
Oculus is bundling all three episodes of its Star Wars VR series, Vader Immortal, with every purchase of the Oculus Quest headset from November 21 to January 31. The Oculus Quest is an all-in-one, completely cord-free VR headset–no PC required–that comes with 64 GB or 128 GB of storage. There’s no discount, but you save $30 getting the Star Wars VR series for free. On top of that, Vader Immortal is a great way for Star Wars fans to experience virtual reality.
Oculus Rift S | $350 ($400)
Oculus Rift S is the latest revision of Oculus’s PC VR headset. You’ll need a PC with the hardware specs to run the VR headset and its software, but everything else comes with the package, including the Touch controllers. Starting on November 28, the Oculus Rift S will be $350.
Oculus Go 32 GB or 64 GB | $150 ($200) or $200 ($250)
The Oculus Go is a completely portable headset that’s better used for movies, shows, and other media than gaming. It’ll be available for $150 for the 32 GB version or $200 for the 64 GB version on Black Friday from November 28 to December 2.
Portal | $130 ($180)
Facebook’s Portal is a 10-inch, touchscreen display that lets you video chat with friends and family through Facebook’s Messenger and WhatsApp–thankfully, they can use any device they want to communicate with you. The cool thing about the Portal is that the Smart Camera automatically follows your position by panning and zooming to get you in the frame. On top of all that, you can control your smart home and listen to music with Alexa support as well as display photos while you’re not talking to anyone. For Black Friday, the Portal will be $130 from November 28 to December 2.
Portal Mini | $80 ($130)
The Portal Mini is exactly like the regular Portal–except it’s mini. The eight-inch Portal does everything the 10-inch does, including the Smart Camera movement, Alexa support, and photo display. From November 28 to December 2, it’ll cost $80.
Portal TV | $100 ($150)
The Portal TV plugs into your television, turning your television into a Portal device. It also gives you the ability to watch and listen to streaming services like Prime Video, CBS Access, and Spotify. Like other Portal devices, it features the Smart Camera, Alexa support, and more. It’ll cost $100 during Black Friday, from November 28 to December 2.
Portal + | $250 ($280)
The Portal Plus features everything the other portals do except with a much bigger, 15.6-inch 1080p screen. It also comes with two 20w speakers that offer richer sound than the other Portal devices. For Black Friday, it’ll cost $250 from November 28 to December 2.
We Happy Few has released its final piece of downloadable content. Its third expansion, We All Fall Down, is now available on PC, PS4, and Xbox One, wrapping up the game’s saga. It follows on from Lightbearer and They Come from Below, and all three pieces of DLC are available as part of the game’s $20 season pass. We All Fall Down casts players as Victoria Byng, who “sets out to rid Wellington Wells of Joy, saving the people from starvation and addiction.”
We All Fall Down does away with the survival mechanics introduced in the main game, and is more focused on action. You’ll no longer need to eat, sleep, or craft, as you did in the original game. Victoria will go through withdrawal symptoms as she comes off of Joy, and she’s armed with a whip for melee combat and a dart gun for long-range attacks. This expansion encourages players to take to the rooftops for a stealthy approach, avoiding the bobbies littered throughout Wellington Wells.
Also launching before the end of the year is a documentary about the making of We Happy Few. The film, called The Cost of Joy: The Compulsion Games Story, will debut on December 19. The trailer shows off a fairly candid look at how the game was created, the pressures faced by the small team, and how they were brought into the Microsoft Xbox Game Studios fold. We Happy Few was published by Gearbox Games before the buyout.
We Happy Few is available on Xbox Game Pass, and received mixed reviews upon launch. GameSpot gave it a 4/10, with critic Alessandro Barbosa stating that “there are just too many hurdles to overcome to enjoy We Happy Few, and not enough Joy in the world to cast them aside.”

It’s been over three years since the last Star Trek film, Star Trek Beyond, but plans are finally underway for a fourth film in the Chris Pine-led era of the series. Deadline is reporting that Noah Hawley is in “final talks” to write and direct the film, which would be a co-production between his production company 26 Keys and JJ Abrams’s Bad Robot. Hawley is best known as the writer and showrunner of FX’s Fargo, which is set to air a fourth season next year. He’s also a novelist and the showrunner of X-Men spin-off Legion.
A fourth film in the series was confirmed before the previous one was even released, but it has taken a while to come together. The film was originally to be directed by SJ Clarkson, but she dropped out to direct a Game of Thrones spin-off that has since been cancelled.
The new movie will bring back Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Karl Urban, and Zoe Saldana–Pine was previously reported to have turned down the contract offered, but it sounds as though he’s back on board. Sadly, cast member Anton Yelchin, who played Scotty, tragically passed away before the release of Beyond; Abrams has promised that the character will not be recast.
In all, nearly 30 photos have been released from the first two installments of the five-part Crisis event–the Supergirl and Batwoman episodes. In them, which you can check out below, everyone from the Green Arrow to Kingdom Come Superman can be seen in the battle to save the multiverse. There’s even the first look at Tom Welling’s return to the DC Comics universe as Clark Kent, a role he originally played on Smallville.
It’s also worth noting Clark Kent (Tyler Hoechlin) and Lois Lane (Elizabeth Tulloch) can be seen in a photo, cradling their newborn child. It was previously reported that a spin-off featuring the two was being developed for The CW. Perhaps the seeds for that spin-off will be planted during the crossover.
The Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover kicks off with Supergirl on December 8. It will then continue in episodes of Batwoman and The Flash before the Arrow-verse goes on hiatus. It then concludes on January 14 with back-to-back episodes of Arrow and Legends of Tomorrow.
It’s a big weekend for Rainbow Six Siege, as not only is the game free to play for everyone, but a new limited-time event has been introduced. The event is a tie-in for Netflix’s Money Heist (known as La Casa De Papel in some regions), a Spanish series about a team of crooks who are trying to carry out a particularly elaborate and ambitious heist. The event will introduce a number of items based on the series.
During this event players can don the red suit and mask from the series as either Vigil and Hibana, testing out these exclusive skins during a round of Hostage in the Bank map. Eight items will be added in total, between uniforms, headgear, weapon skins, and charms. There are two bundles, each of which can be bought for 1680 R6 Credits. This event will run from now until November 25.
The game will also be free to play on PC, PS4, and Xbox One over the weekend running from November 21 through to November 25, allowing fans of the Netflix series (and everyone else) to check out the game in full. During this period, Rainbow Six Siege will be discounted on all systems as well. Those discounts are not in effect yet, and will likely vary between systems and bundles, but Ubisoft is promising discounts of up to 66%.
