In celebration of Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes shipping 1 million copies, Konami and Kojima are going to release the previously platform-exclusive content to all systems. On May 1, all owners of the game will be able to download and play the missions Déjà vu and Jamais Vu for free.

The Déjà vu mission was originally released on PlayStation platforms only, and is referred to as a “throwback” mission. The content allows users to play as the pixilated Solid Snake from the PSone title, Metal Gear Solid, and introduces missions taken from that game. Success comes through recreating key scenes from the original MGS, and players are rewarded with flashbacks.

The second piece of content, Jamais Vu, was released as an Xbox platform exclusive, and relates to the second video game Hideo Kojima wrote and directed, Snatcher. The missions introduce “bioroids” that invade Camp Omega and kill anything they come in to contact with. Snake is replaced in this mission by the cyborg ninja Raiden, who comes packing heavy weapons rather than his sword.

Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes is available both on physical media, and as a digital download. The PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions cost $29.99, while the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 version run $19.99.

How to start the Nuka-World DLC in Fallout 4

People standing outside Nuka World.

The first major DLC expansion for Fallout 4 lets players go to the abandoned amusement park called Nuka-World. While there's plenty of fun and excitement to be had here, don't expect it to come from the roller coasters or carnival games since this park is the battleground between rival raider gangs. This new zone adds a ton of new quests and side activities to the base experience, but it isn't as simple to get to as a real theme park. Don't worry if your Pip-Boy isn't helping you get to Nuka-World -- we'll show you how to start this DLC.

How to start the Automatron DLC in Fallout 4

A man and a robot walking in the wastelands in Fallout 4.

Each piece of Fallout 4 DLC adds something substantial to the base experience. In the case of the Automatron expansion, an entire new questline pitting you against a robot army led by a figure known as the Mechanist. Starting it isn't as difficult as starting other DLCs like the Nuka-World expansion, but it-s still a bit cryptic. Buying the DLC doesn't automatically make it apparent how to actually start this new adventure, but we'll give you specific directions to find it in the wasteland.

One of 2023’s best indie games is getting a movie starring LaKeith Stanfield

James descends on an elevator in El Paso, Elsewhere.

El Paso, Elsewhere, one of Digital Trends' favorite indie games of 2023, now has a film adaptation in the works.

Variety reports that LaKeith Stanfield -- an actor known for his work in films like Judas and the Black Messiah, Knives Out, and Haunted Mansion, as well as TV shows like Atlanta -- is going to star in and produce the film. The adaptation is in the works at Di Bonaventure Pictures, the production company behind the Transformers, G.I. Joe, and The Meg film franchises. Little else is known about the film at this time, although we'd presume it will be a fairly direct adaptation of this intense story-driven game.
