How to get the John Cena skins

To acquire the John Cena cosmetics in Fortnite, you’ll need to shell out your hard-earned V-bucks. Unfortunately, there isn’t a way to earn the skin by completing challenges, so hopefully you’ve got some extra currency lying around. If not, you’ll have to buy some with real money. To get the most expensive bundle, you’ll need 2,000 V-bucks, which is equal to around $14. Be sure to check out the V-bucks store to grab some extra currency if need be.

These are the John Cena bundle options:

  • John Cena — Outfit
  • WWE Championship Title — Back Bling
  • Five Digit Slapper — Harvesting Tool
  • U Can’t C Me — Emote

This is the main bundle that comes with all four John Cena cosmetics (along with two styles: Ring Gear and Entrance Gear). Buying the bundle does save you 700 V-bucks, so if you plan on purchasing all four items, this bundle is the way to go.

If you’re looking for the least-expensive option, the regular John Cena outfit will be up your alley. This is available for only 1,500 V-bucks and even comes with Cena’s WWE Championship Back Bling. You’ll miss out on the Five Digit Slapper Harvesting Tool and the U Can’t C Me Emote, but if you’re aiming to save money, this is the way to go.

Likewise, the famous U Can’t C Me Emote is available standalone for 400 V-Bucks.

All of these John Cena cosmetics are available for a limited time, though it hasn’t been confirmed when the cosmetics will leave the Item Shop. Typically, popular skins like this one stick around for at least a week and even reappear in the Item Shop at a later date.

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.

Microsoft may already be putting pieces of its rumored Game Pass overhaul into place.

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