Switch Devs Keep Releasing The Same Game Over And Over To Top eShop

Gaming peripherals manufacturer Dbrand has announced new gear for the ROG Ally, which it’s calling Project Killswitch. This is a new grip for the handheld gaming PC that adds a more ergonomic design and extra durability, as well as a kickstand and optional parts like grippy thumbstick covers, travel cover, and a tempered glass screen protector.

Essentially, this is a comprehensive collection of gear to make playing your ROG Ally more comfortable while also keeping it protected.

Priced at $60 for the essentials kit–or “0.0000000085642857% of the annual defense budget,” according to Dbrand’s math–and $75 for the travel kit, this bundle also includes an optional skin for customization.

The screen protector can also be added to either bundle for $20 extra. Dbrand says the cover has a precise fit over an ROG Ally, and the kickstand comes with built-in microSD card storage. This isn’t the first time the company has made cases, as it has a line of Steam Deck accessories available as well. If you prefer console gaming, the Darkplates for PS5 consoles are also pretty great.

Now could be a good time to consider getting an ROG Ally, as with a mid-gen refresh on the horizon, prices could drop soon. The system is a pretty powerful machine–especially if you opt for the Z1 Extreme version–and can handle demanding games relatively well.

It also has a sharp 120Hz screen, 512GB of internal storage, and since it runs on Windows you can install games from a variety of storefronts on it. It doesn’t have the best battery life, and there have been reports of it ejecting microSD cards, but overall this is a good alternative to the Steam Deck.

Currently, Best Buy is offering the entry-level Asus ROG Ally Z1 for $500, while the higher-spec ROG Ally Z1 Extreme is priced at $700.

Big news for Grand Theft Auto VI today, as Take-Two has confirmed that Grand Theft Auto VI will be released in Fall 2025. Previously, the game was targeting a release at some unspecified point in the year. This could be a delay for GTA VI, as Take-Two had previously indicated a release earlier in 2025.

“Our outlook reflects a narrowing of Rockstar Games’ previously established window of Calendar 2025 to Fall of Calendar 2025 for Grand Theft Auto VI,” Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick said. “We are highly confident that Rockstar Games will deliver an unparalleled entertainment experience, and our expectations for the commercial impact of the title continue to increase.”

Pretty much every Rockstar Games release in the past decade has been delayed beyond its original date, so fans hoping to play GTA VI in Fall 2025 might want to emotionally prepare themselves for a potential delay.

GTA VI is reportedly now in the final stages of development. Rockstar Games required most staffers to return to the office beginning April 15 to finish the game and to help prevent leaks. Not all Rockstar workers are happy about this, though, as some say the return-to-office mandate removes a lifeline.

GTA VI is in development at Rockstar North in Edinburgh, Scotland, with Rockstar’s teams around the world supporting the game’s development. Rockstar Games parent company Take-Two has said the developer is seeking “perfection.”

In other news, prolific voice actor Troy Baker recently confirmed he is not voicing the male lead in GTA VI.

Rockstar parent company Take-Two recently announced a cost-cutting plan that resulted in hundreds of layoffs and multiple game cancellations. The games industry at large has seen huge numbers of layoffs so far in 2024.

Activision has released a new teaser trailer for the upcoming Season 4 update for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone. The season is confirmed for May 29, and the big update brings the return of Warzone’s popular Kar98k bolt-action rifle.

The brief video clip doesn’t give much away, with quick images of clocks, timers, and keypads. These teasers could be referring to the bunkers in Warzone, which haven’t been unlocked yet, and they could be preparing to open in Season 4. The images could also be teasing an upcoming reveal for Call of Duty 2024. The new game reveal may or may not be tied to the Warzone bunkers, which is something we’ve seen in the past with Call of Duty in-game reveal events.

In addition to the Season 4 clip, Activision also sent packages to Call of Duty influencers that contained teasers to reveal the popular Kar98k rifle is returning. It’s uncertain if this will be the marksman-rifle version seen in Modern Warfare 2019 or Call of Duty: Vanguard’s sniper-rifle version, but it was described in the teasers as being a bolt-action rifle, which makes sense, seeing as it’s a real weapon used by Germany in WW2.

More details will likely arrive in the coming days leading up to Season 4’s launch. In other Call of Duty news, Warzone’s recent update has added a secret “Sally” pistol weapon blueprint, which seems to be teasing Treyarch’s rumored Black Ops 6.

The latest update to Warzone seems to have slipped in a secret weapon blueprint that teases this year’s upcoming Call of Duty game, which is rumored to be Treyarch’s Black Ops 6. Here we’ll explain how you can unlock the “Sally” weapon blueprint for the 9mm Daemon.

The Sally weapon blueprint explained

The Sally weapon blueprint is an akimbo version of the 9mm Daemon pistol, and the cosmetic is skinned to look like the iconic pistols from the cover of 2010’s Call of Duty: Black Ops. In Black Ops 1’s Zombies mode, the M1911 starter pistol could also be Pack-a-Punched to become the powerful “Mustang and Sally” akimbo variant.

Treyarch has tweeted a response to a player’s mention of Warzone’s secret weapon blueprint, so it is very likely a purposeful tease of their upcoming title.

How to get the Sally weapon blueprint

To unlock the Sally blueprint, you’ll need to find the 9mm Daemon in a match of Warzone and get a kill with the gun. Getting your first kill with the pistol will complete the secret challenge called “She Never Lets Me Down,” and the blueprint will be available for use in both MW3 and Warzone.

This will only unlock the Sally blueprint for whoever picks it up and gets a kill with it, but after you or a teammate unlocks the weapon, it can then be dropped mid-match for any remaining teammates to try and unlock the blueprint for themselves.

The 9mm Daemon is very rare ground loot that can reportedly be found across various modes in standard battle royale and Resurgence. This gun can be found as loot on the ground or scavenged from supply boxes.

Some players claim that the spawn rates are better in Warzone’s Fully Loaded LTM for Rebirth Island, but there don’t seem to be any guaranteed spawn locations for the 9mm Daemon.

Another football season, another installment of Madden. And while the 2025 NFL season is still quite a way off, preorders for Madden NFL 25 are already open ahead of its August 16 release, and you can get a free $10 gift card with your preorder at Best Buy. Three versions of the game are up for grabs–one of which comes bundled with a copy of EA Sports College Football 25 (which releases July 16), making it a great way to save money if you know you’ll be picking up both later this year. We still don’t know a whole lot about this installment of the iconic franchise, though EA Sports will likely give it the usual refresh with improved mechanics and animations, an updated Ultimate Team mode, and more.
