Call of Duty: Vanguard, the latest entry in the popular Call of Duty franchise, brings players back to World War II with a single-player campaign focused on a group of soldiers from different countries that need to work together to neutralize the world’s biggest threat. The game also offers another zombie experience with the Der Anfang mode, where you take on the role of a soldier stuck in the ruins of Stalingrad as hordes of the undead charge against you. However, like most Call of Duty games, the heart of Call of Duty: Vanguard is in its multiplayer modes.

The degree of customization in Call of Duty: Vanguard will keep even series veterans busy, as you can utilize up to 10 attachments on most weapons, with a majority of the primary weapons having 70 attachments that you can unlock. The gunplay is satisfying overall, while the destructible environments add a new level of depth to the gameplay.

The Call of Duty series continues with Call of Duty: Vanguard, a first-person shooter that every gamer should have in their collection. GameStop is offering the game’s PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions at $15 off, bringing their price down to $45 from their original price of $60, while the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X versions are $17 off, lowering their price to $53 from their original price of $70. To make sure that you take advantage of the discount, and to get your copy of Call of Duty: Vanguard before Christmas, you should click that Buy Now button as soon as you can.

Phantom Blade Zero makes me think Sony might have a point about going all digital
Physical games still matter, but when the disc isn't a complete copy of the game, the argument for keeping it becomes harder to make.

I'm a big supporter of physical games. There's something satisfying about owning a disc, lending it to a friend, or grabbing a bargain without waiting for a digital storefront to approve the price. But Phantom Blade Zero has me questioning one of the biggest arguments in the physical-versus-digital debate. The game's digital version launches on October 29, 2026, while its physical PS5 editions, including Standard, Deluxe, and Ultimate versions, won't arrive until 2027.

And there's another wrinkle: the digital version reportedly needs up to 134GB of storage, raising questions about how much of the game can actually fit on a standard Blu-ray disc. A standard PS5 Ultra HD Blu-ray disc maxes out at 100GB, so Phantom Blade Zero may need to ship across multiple discs or require players to download additional data to finish installing it. Either way, the idea of popping in a disc and having the complete game ready to play gets a little murkier.

Nintendo Switch 2 jailbreak breakthrough shows what AI can do, but it’s not a one-click hack
The software-only exploit works on the latest firmware, but it's tethered and still has significant limitations.
Nintendo Switch 2

The Nintendo Switch 2 has reportedly been jailbroken, and AI helped crack the code. Developer Sammy Hajhamid, aka pepsipu, used OpenAI's Codex to help exploit the console, even modding Mario Kart World with the likes of Peter Griffin and Hatsune Miku. But before anyone celebrates an unlocked Nintendo playground, there's a catch: the exploit is tethered, not a full-blown custom firmware jailbreak.

Xbox has now started testing a pay-as-you-go version of Cloud Gaming that does not require a Game Pass subscription.
